QED Coherence in Condensed and Living Matter

From Theoretical Frameworks to Epistemological Implications

Schriftenreihe naturwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

This book, based on the Author’s Ph.D. dissertation, is an unprecedented work consisting of an extended and detailed review of those scientific studies which give us a field perspective in describing condensed matter, water and, consequently, living matter.

The physical theoretical framework here presented, based on the inestimable work begun by heroic physicists (like Giuliano Preparata, Giuseppe Vitiello, Emilio, Del Giudice, Mae-Wan Ho, Hiroomi…

An Engineering Contribution to Human Gait Biomechanics

Schriftenreihe naturwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

Walking is something we do every day without thinking much about it. Therefore it is surprising to learn, how little we know about mechanics and control of walking. This becomes obvious when you look at contemporary anthropomorphic walking machines, that are far from moving as dynamic as their human archetypes.

Reduced models are able to explain the general mechanics of human gait and unveil fascinating potential for novel control techniques. Still, they are…

Creating Insights in Large Markets

Electronic Commerce, Marketing & Finance

Today, firms face large and complex markets, in which they must make strategic and tactic decisions. However, their ability to make informed decisions is limited.

It was apparently for this reason that it was widely used in studies of genetics, population genetics, ecology, insect physiology, behaviour and biology in general by several research groups or individual…
