Quality Living Through Chemurgy and Green Chemistry

by Peter C.K. Lau

This book is intended to give readers an appreciation of what the future holds, as cutting-edge technologies in synthetic biology and pathway engineering and advanced bioprocessing development pave the way for providing goods and services to benefit humankind that are based on the synergy of two biomasses - i. e. of what a renewable feedstock could yield and an infinite microbial biomass could provide in terms of enzymes and biocatalysts. This 13-chapter book, with an introductory treatise on the guiding principles of green chemistry and engineering metrics, brings together a broad range of research and innovation agendas and perspectives from industries, academia and government laboratories using renewable feedstocks that include macroalgae and lignins. In addition, social-economic aspects and the pillars of competitiveness in regional cluster development are explored as we transition from fossil-fuel-based economies to a circular bioeconomy, with chemurgy and green chemistry being implicit to the innovation movement. The bulk of the book covers specific applications including the bioproduction of amino sugars, dicarboxylic acids, omega-3 fatty acids, starch and fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic materials, and phenolics as building blocks for polymer synthesis. Enzymatic systems for accessing chiral and special-purpose chemicals, as well as the development of specialized enzymes from macroalgae for biofuel and biochemical production are also addressed. Research gaps, hurdles to overcome in various biological processes, and present achievements in the production of biofuels and biochemicals from lignocellulosic materials are discussed. Going beyond the conventional expectation of discussing the production of drop-in chemicals, the book instead emphasizes how the potential of new chemicals and materials can be harnessed through innovative thinking and research. As such, it provides an invaluable reference source for researchers and graduate students interested in Chemurgy and Green Chemistry, as well as for practitioners in the field of industrial biotechnology and biobased industry. Peter C. K. Lau is a Distinguished Professor at Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and an Adjunct Professor at the Departments of Chemistry and Microbiology & Immunology, McGill University, Canada.

Quality Management in Scientific Research: Challenging Irreproducibility Of Scientific Results

by Antonella Lanati

In recent years, the attention of the scientific and social community has not solely been on producing new findings, but increasingly also on the related issues of the reliability, safety, and efficacy of the discoveries made, as well as the efficient and effective use of resources. The adoption of management models and tools can help scientists to improve their research, ensuring valuable, robust and dependable outcomes. Quality disciplines have been widely used for decades in industrial and business fields, building a knowledge base that can be translated and exploited, much to the advantage of scientific research. However, quality references in scientific research are still extremely rare and largely limited to an international guideline and a few sector-specific standards. Despite WHO and EU Commission campaigns, there are still precious few practical texts that offer researchers guidance on quality principles and provide simple tools and methodologies for their daily work. The book, starting from the problem of the reproducibility of scientific results and the substantial contribution that the Quality approach can make to research (Chapter 1), introduces the reader to key principles and basic concepts of Quality and illustrates both general and research-specific quality standards, paving the way for further discussion (Chapter 2). In turn, Chapter 3 presents detailed applications of Quality principles in various aspects of research, from study and ethics to materials and equipment management. Chapters 4 and 5, respectively, are devoted to Quality tools and Quality methodologies, as well as soft skills, all of which are valuable to scientific experimentation and study management. The concepts and practical tools discussed are extensively illustrated with examples from actual applications in scientific research.

Quality-of-Life Community Indicators for Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management

by Megha Budruk Rhonda Phillips

While community quality-of-life indicators are gaining much needed attention in both scholarly work and practice, their application in the areas of parks, recreation and tourism management are not as well known. The applicability of indicator systems for natural resource and natural resource area management within the parks and recreation arena is very high, including urban parks and recreation programs and their influence on quality of life. Tourism is also an area that needs much more work in terms of assessing impacts as well as developing indicators for gauging progress in the long term. All three areas are an integrated discipline and most programs throughout the developed world are housed co-jointly. There are several researchers across the globe who are conducting innovative work in these areas. The editors feel that a volume on the topic will spur additional interests as well as serve to lead the research efforts.

The Quality of Measurements

by Paul Makinen A. E. Fridman Andrew Sabak

This monograph and translation from the Russian describes in detail and comments on the fundamentals of metrology. The basic concepts of metrology, the principles of the International System of Units SI, the theory of measurement uncertainty, the new methodology of estimation of measurement accuracy on the basis of the uncertainty concept, as well as the methods for processing measurement results and estimating their uncertainty are discussed from the modern position. It is shown that the uncertainty concept is compatible with the classical theory of accuracy. The theory of random uncertainties is supplemented with their most general description on the basis of generalized normal distribution; the instrumental systematic errors are presented in connection with the methodology of normalization of the metrological characteristics of measuring instruments. The information about modern systems of traceability is given. All discussed theoretical principles and calculation methods are illustrated with examples.

The Quality of the Archaeological Record

by Charles Perreault

Paleobiology struggled for decades to influence our understanding of evolution and the history of life because it was stymied by a focus on microevolution and an incredibly patchy fossil record. But in the 1970s, the field took a radical turn, as paleobiologists began to investigate processes that could only be recognized in the fossil record across larger scales of time and space. That turn led to a new wave of macroevolutionary investigations, novel insights into the evolution of species, and a growing prominence for the field among the biological sciences. In The Quality of the Archaeological Record, Charles Perreault shows that archaeology not only faces a parallel problem, but may also find a model in the rise of paleobiology for a shift in the science and theory of the field. To get there, he proposes a more macroscale approach to making sense of the archaeological record, an approach that reveals patterns and processes not visible within the span of a human lifetime, but rather across an observation window thousands of years long and thousands of kilometers wide. Just as with the fossil record, the archaeological record has the scope necessary to detect macroscale cultural phenomena because it can provide samples that are large enough to cancel out the noise generated by micro-scale events. By recalibrating their research to the quality of the archaeological record and developing a true macroarchaeology program, Perreault argues, archaeologists can finally unleash the full contributive value of their discipline.

Quality Systems in the Food Industry (SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science)

by Marco Fiorino Caterina Barone Michele Barone Marco Mason Arpan Bhagat

This book explains the role of food-oriented (or ‘food-centric’) quality system standards in the modern food and beverage industry. It discusses food safety schemes based on the international norm ISO 9001 and the “Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points” approach, and also introduces the new Global Standard for Food Safety (GSFS) and the International Featured Standard (IFS, 7th ed.), outlining standardization for international equivalence (while maintaining the necessary flexibility and independence – which is not always easy an easy task).Providing selected specific examples, it examines the problems of chemical additives and possible cross-contaminations between different production lines, as well as adequate reactions to and handling of intentional adulterations. In addition, it includes a chapter focusing on quality audits and technical data sheets in the food industry, and a final chapter describing the certification of food-grade lubricants in the food industry, especially with regard to allergenic substances.

Quality Teaching in Primary Science Education

by Mark W. Hackling Jörg Ramseger Hsiao-Lan Sharon Chen

​This edited volume explores how primary school teachers create rich opportunities for science learning, higher order thinking and reasoning, and how the teaching of science in Australia, Germany and Taiwan is culturally framed. It draws from the international and cross-cultural science education study EQUALPRIME: Exploring quality primary education in different cultures: A cross-national study of teaching and learning in primary science classrooms. Video cases of Year 4 science teaching were gathered by research teams based at Edith Cowan University, Deakin University, the Freie Universit#65533;t Berlin, the National Taiwan Normal University and the National Taipei University of Education. Meetings of these research teams over a five year period at which data were shared, analysed and interpreted have revealed significant new insights into the social and cultural framing of primary science teaching, the complexities of conducting cross-cultural video-based research studies, and the strategies and semiotic resources employed by teachers to engage students in reasoning and meaning making. The book's purpose is to disseminate the new insights into quality science teaching and how it is framed in different cultures; methodological advancements in the field of video-based classroom research in cross-cultural settings; and, implications for practice, teacher education and research. "The chapters (of this book) address issues of contemporary relevance and theoretical significance: embodiment, discursive moves, the social unit of learning and instruction, inquiry, and reasoning through representations. Through all of these, the EQUALPRIME team manages to connect the multiple cultural perspectives that characterise this research study. The 'meta-reflection' chapters offer a different form of connection, linking cultural and theoretical perspectives on reasoning, quality teaching and video-based research methodologies. The final two chapters offer connective links to implications for practice in teacher education and in cross-cultural comparative research into teaching and learning. These multiple and extensive connections constitute one of the books most significant accomplishments. The EQUALPRIME project, as reported in this book, provides an important empirical base that must be considered by any system seeking to promote sophisticated science learning and instructional practices in primary school classrooms. By exploring the classroom realisation of aspirational science pedagogies, the EQUALPRIME project also speaks to those involved in teacher education and to teachers. I commend this book to the reader. It offers important insights, together with a model of effective, collegial, collaborative inter-cultural research. It will help us to move forward in important ways". Professor David Clarke, Melbourne University

Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe

by Sean Carroll

The instant New York Times bestsellerQuanta and Fields, the second book of Sean Carroll&’s already internationally acclaimed series The Biggest Ideas in the Universe, is an adventure into the bare stuff of reality. Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to sharing physics with a broad audience, one that goes beyond analogies to show how physicists really think. He cuts to the bare mathematical essence of our most profound theories, explaining every step in a uniquely accessible way. Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world is really made of fields. You will finally understand why matter is solid, why there is antimatter, where the sizes of atoms come from, and why the predictions of quantum field theory are so spectacularly successful. Fundamental ideas like spin, symmetry, Feynman diagrams, and the Higgs mechanism are explained for real, not just through amusing stories. Beyond Newton, beyond Einstein, and all the intuitive notions that have guided homo sapiens for millennia, this book is a journey to a once unimaginable truth about what our universe is.

Quanta and Mind: Essays on the Connection between Quantum Mechanics and the Consciousness (Synthese Library #414)

by Carlos Montemayor J. Acacio de Barros

This edited volume examines aspects of the mind/consciousness that are relevant to the interpretations of quantum mechanics. In it, an international group of contributors focus on the possible connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness. They look at how consciousness can help us with quantum mechanics as well as how quantum mechanics can contribute to our understanding of consciousness. For example, what do different interpretations aimed at solving the measurement problem in quantum mechanics tell us about the nature of consciousness, such as von Neumann's interpretation? Each interpretation has, associated to it, a corresponding metaphysical framework that helps us think about possible “models” of consciousness. Alternatively, what does the nature of consciousness tell us about the role of the observer and time reversibility in the measurement process? The book features 20 papers on contemporary approaches to quanta and mind. It brings together the work of scholars from different disciplines with diverse views on the connections between quanta and mind, ranging from those who are supportive of a link between consciousness and quantum physics to those who are very skeptical of such link. Coverage includes such topics as free will in a quantum world, contextuality and causality, mind and matter interaction, quantum panpsychism, the quantum and quantum-like brain, and the role of time in brain-mind dynamics.

Quanta in Distress: How New Age Gurus Kidnapped Quantum Physics

by Sadri Hassani

This book deconstructs and debunks the lucrative and widespread marriage of quantum physics with pop-spirituality while tracing this pernicious strain of pseudoscience to its source: the founders of quantum mechanics themselves. The association of mystical ideas with modern physics in the self-improvement industry is not new. The “spookiness” of quantum properties like uncertainty and entanglement has proven fertile ground for new-age mystics and alternative medicine advocates who saw a way to put a scientific veneer on their claims. In the early days, the founders of quantum physics accused it of implying an observer-created reality. Later, Taoists and Wu Li dancers were quantized. Then ancient Indian medicine, Ayurveda, morphed into “quantum healing.” Little wonder The Oprah Winfrey Show told its viewers: think about losing weight, making more money, and falling in love, and you’ll become thin, wealthy, and happily married … all based on quantum physics. Criticism of the pseudoscientific misappropriation of quantum physics has been widespread but inadequate; thus far, the scientific community has failed to account for its own role in the fusion of pop-spirituality and quantum physics. As well as thoroughly exploring and debunking quantum mysticism, this book traces the development of quantum mysticism and pulls no punches in exposing the unwitting role of quantum theory’s founders in propagating quantum mysticism.

Quantal Density Functional Theory

by Viraht Sahni

This book deals with quantal density functional theory (QDFT) which is a time-dependent local effective potential theory of the electronic structure of matter. The treated time-independent QDFT constitutes a special case. In the 2nd edition, the theory is extended to include the presence of external magnetostatic fields. The theory is a description of matter based on the 'quantal Newtonian' first and second laws which is in terms of "classical" fields that pervade all space, and their quantal sources. The fields, which are explicitly defined, are separately representative of electron correlations due to the Pauli exclusion principle, Coulomb repulsion, correlation-kinetic, correlation-current-density, and correlation-magnetic effects. The book further describes Schrödinger theory from the new physical perspective of fields and quantal sources. It also describes traditional Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham DFT, and explains via QDFT the physics underlying the various energy functionals and functional derivatives of the traditional approach to electronic structure.

Quanten-Zufallszahlengenerierung: Theorie und Praxis

by Stefan Rass Stefan Schauer Christian Kollmitzer Benjamin Rainer

Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die neuesten Implementierungen von Quanten-Zufallszahlengeneratoren (QRNGs) und untersucht insbesondere deren Beziehung zu klassischen statistischen Zufallsmodellen und numerischen Techniken zur Berechnung von Zufallszahlen. Der Leser - der idealerweise einen Hintergrund in klassischer Statistik, Informatik oder Kryptographie hat - wird Schritt für Schritt in die Welt der Quantenbits eingeführt, und es werden explizite Beziehungen zwischen QRNGs und ihren klassischen Gegenstücken aufgezeigt. Die Erzeugung von Zufallszahlen ist eine wichtige Säule der Kryptographie. Die Nutzung des Zufalls, der Quantenphänomenen innewohnt, ist ein sich rasch entwickelnder Zweig der Quantenkryptografie mit unzähligen Anwendungen für die Zukunft. Der Wert der Quantenzufälligkeit für kryptografische Zwecke wird empirisch durch statistische Auswertungen der Leistung von QRNGs im Vergleich zu klassischen Techniken zur Erzeugung echter und pseudozufälliger Zahlen nachgewiesen. Das Buch bietet dann einen Überblick über die technischen Implementierungen von QRNGs, bevor eine abschließende Diskussion über die wichtigsten Errungenschaften und verbleibenden Hindernisse auf diesem Gebiet die Berichterstattung abrundet und gleichzeitig die Tür für zukünftige Forschungsrichtungen öffnet.

Quantencomputer: Von der Quantenwelt zur Künstlichen Intelligenz

by Klaus Mainzer

Die Quantenwelt ist längst im Alltag angekommen, ohne dass es vielen bewusst ist. Dazu gehören Transistoren, Dioden und Laser, die aus Alltagsgeräten nicht mehr fortzudenken sind. Nach dieser ersten Generation der Quantentechnologien leben wir derzeit in der zweiten Generation, in der Grundprinzipien der Quantenmechanik gezielt in quantenmechanischen Geräten umgesetzt werden. Dazu gehören erste Prototypen von Quantencomputern, klassische Supercomputer mit Quantensimulation, Quantenkryptographie und Quantenkommunikation, Quantensensorik und Quantenmesstechnik. Was Einstein 1935 als spukhafter Effekt vorkam, ist längst Grundlage umwälzender Quantenkommunikation in Glasfasernetzen und Satellitentechnik, die ein zukünftiges Quanteninternet ankündigt. Quantencomputer als Mehrzweckrechner sind nur die Spitze des Eisbergs mit einer Technologie, die sich schrittweise als Netzwerk unserer Zivilisation ausbreitet. Umso dringender ist es, die Grundlagen der Quantenwelt als Hintergrund dieser Technologie zu verstehen. Grundlagen und Zusammenhänge begreifen, von den mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen bis zu den technischen Anwendungen, ist ein zentrales Ziel des Buchs. Ein weiteres Anliegen dieses Buchs ist das Zusammenwachsen mit der Künstlichen Intelligenz. In meinem Buch „Künstliche Intelligenz. Wann übernehmen die Maschinen?“ (Springer 2. Aufl. 2019) wird Machine learning herausgestellt, das Automatisierung in Robotik, Industrie- und Arbeitswelt verwirklicht. Mit Quantentechnologie, Quantencomputer und künstlicher Intelligenz zeichnet sich aber nicht nur eine Potenzierung neuer Möglichkeiten ab, sondern auch von Gefährdungen. Daher erhebt sich die Forderung nach frühzeitiger Technikgestaltung, damit Quantentechnologie und Künstliche Intelligenz sich als Dienstleistung in der Gesellschaft bewähren.

Quantenelektrodynamik: Eine Einführung für Lehramtsstudierende (BestMasters)

by Katharina Sandner

Schon früh im Physikstudium und auch bereits in der Schule machen wir Bekanntschaft mit der klassischen Elektrostatik, Magnetostatik, aber auch der Elektrodynamik. Dabei sind die Maxwell-Gleichungen ein nicht mehr wegzudenkender, wichtiger Teil zur Beschreibung des Zusammenhangs zwischen elektrischen und magnetischen Feldern. Doch was ist, wenn wir weiter gehen, wenn wir den klassischen Pfad verlassen und uns der quantenmechanischen Theorie zuwenden? Finden wir dort unsere Wechselwirkung zwischen Licht und Materie wieder? Gibt es, ähnlich wie die Maxwell-Gleichungen, auch solch prägende Gleichungen?Diese Fragen beschäftigen uns in der vorliegenden Arbeit, wobei dazu zunächst die Korrespondenz der relativistischen Mechanik und relativistischen Quantenmechanik untersucht wird. Weiterführend folgt die Quantisierung von Feldern und diese geht in die Quantenelektrodynamik über. Hier werden, aufgrund des einführenden Charakters, nur Prozesse niedrigster Ordnung betrachtet und ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Compton-Streuung.

Quantenfeldtheorie und das Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik: Eine Einführung

by Owe Philipsen

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet Studierenden der Physik eine Einführung in die Quantenfeldtheorie und die Grundlagen des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik. Ausgehend von den Inhalten, die in den Grundvorlesungen zur Theoretischen Physik im Bachelorstudiengang vermittelt werden, schlägt das Buch eine Brücke von der relativistischen Quantenmechanik über die klassische Feldtheorie zur Quantenfeldtheorie und deren Anwendung auf die im Standardmodell vereinigten fundamentalen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Elementarteilchen. Sukzessive werden die elektromagnetische, die starke und die schwache Wechselwirkung phänomenologisch eingeführt, als Quantenfeldtheorie formuliert und ihre experimentelle Überprüfung diskutiert.Mithilfe von Zusammenfassungen und Übungsaufgaben am Ende jedes Kapitels können Leser den Inhalt Revue passieren lassen und das erlernte Wissen anwenden. Schritt für Schritt wird so das Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik entwickelt. Dieses stellt, spätestens mit der Entdeckung des Higgsteilchens im Jahre 2012 am CERN in Genf, eine vollständige, in sich geschlossene Theorie der bis 2018 experimentell überprüften Teilchenphysik dar. Das Buch ermöglicht schon Studierenden am Ende des Bachelors die Theorie und deren faszinierende Präzision nachzuvollziehen.

Quantenkommunikationsnetze

by Riccardo Bassoli Holger Boche Christian Deppe Roberto Ferrara Frank H. Fitzek Gisbert Janssen Sajad Saeedinaeeni

Dieses Buch bietet ein Tutorial über Quantenkommunikationsnetze.
