WITTGENSTEINIAN: Looking at the World from the Viewpoint of Wittgenstein's Philosophy (The Frontiers Collection)
by Shyam Wuppuluri Newton Da Costa“Tell me," Wittgenstein once asked a friend, "why do people always say, it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?" His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?” What would it have looked like if we looked at all sciences from the viewpoint of Wittgenstein’s philosophy? Wittgenstein is undoubtedly one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. His complex body of work has been analysed by numerous scholars, from mathematicians and physicists, to philosophers, linguists, and beyond. This volume brings together some of his central perspectives as applied to the modern sciences and studies the influence they may have on the thought processes underlying science and on the world view it engenders. The contributions stem from leading scholars in philosophy, mathematics, physics, economics, psychology and human sciences; all of them have written in an accessible style that demands little specialist knowledge, whilst clearly portraying and discussing the deep issues at hand.

WOLEDs and Organic Photovoltaics
by Vivian W. YamThe search for renewable energy sources and the efficient utilization of energy have been the most important research areas in modern science and technology. The design and development of materials that can contribute to light-harvesting, solar energy conversion and photovoltaics are important areas of research. Also of great importance is the exploration of WOLEDs for solid state lighting that could lead to a more efficient utilization of energy. This monograph consists of a collection of contributions from prominent leading scientists in the area, initiated by the organization of the SRT Workshop on WOLEDs and Organic Photovoltaics at The University of Hong Kong in January 2009. This represents a unique and irresistibly attractive account and reference for researchers in the field of WOLEDs and organic photovoltaics both from academia and industry.
