  Quantum Entanglement

  An exploration of quantum entanglement and the ways in which it contradicts our everyday assumptions about the ultimate nature of reality.Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schrödinger's Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can't affect the other. Quantum entanglement called by Einstein spooky action at a distance rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints from which entangled particles break free.Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell's inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it's easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of quantum Bayesianism, holds that there's no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability out there, that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there's no action at a distance, spooky or otherwise.

  Tropical Peatland Eco-management

  In this "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" book, eco-management is new terminology as an abbreviation of "ecology-based management for natural capital enhancement". Key concept on this eco-management is derived from previous book: "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem"(Springer, 2015, eds. by M. Osaki and N. Tsuji). Based on this new concept, this book thoroughly examines tropical peatland eco-management for scientists, political decision makers, governmental officials, land managers, students, and NGO/NPOs who are interested in 1) what the impact of peatland on climate change and ecosystem function, 2) how the management of disturbed peatland, and 3) drawing global scale restoration mechanisms of peatland and wetland. In tropical peatland, a large amount of GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) is emitted due to the unappropriate development and inadequate management of peatland. The peatland ecosystems consist of the carbon-water complex, which is affected easily by the impact of human and climate change. Throughout much research of tropical peatland, the problems that result from development of tropical peatland are found to stem mainly from a lack of understanding of the complexities of this ecosystem and the fragility of the relationship between peat and forest and also between carbon and water.In past, almost all peatland development and management system have been generally designed on "water drainage system". On the contrast of old system, an innovated eco- management is, here, proposed as "water irrigation system", including water cycling and natural capital enhancement. Through this book readers will learn the advanced peatland eco-management, with more practical methods and procedure based on ecosystem knowledge.

  SQL Coding for BeginnersThe truth is: SQL is an abbreviation for Structured Query Language. It is one of the most sought after and simple programming languages of our age.SQL is lost behind a crowd of other, more popular programming languages such as C++, Python, Java etc. There are many people who have used SQL and discarded its legitimacy as a programming language simply because of its user friendly interface and a limited number of functions. However, all true computer wiz’s must know that no matter how developed and advanced third level programming languages such as C++ and Python are, it doesn’t change the fact that SQL is also a programming language - a very resourceful one at that.SQL has a wide range of functionality that includes quering, retrieving, and extracting information from relational databases and so on. Moreover, the ability of SQL to create structure based relational databases such as tables and views has made it extremely popular among major companies such as Microsoft. Because of its compatible nature, and easy to use interface, the demand for SQL is booming rapidly around the world. A person who is adept at working on SQL can also work on other languages such as MySQL etc., because of its compatible nature.SQL is compatible to fill the requirements as needed by several companies which have several database management and development in their list of agendas. It is also extremely useful when it comes to creating reports, business, and data analysis and programming.Here are a few advantages of learning SQL:It is relatively easier to learn, and creates vast career opportunities.SQL is slowly and gradually forming a solid place within various companies that need to organize their database.

  Emotional Intelligence: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Developing Control Over Your Emotions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min

  Discover how to develop control over your emotions, build self confidence, grow great relationships, and find long lasting success! EQ - this is the common abbreviation for "emotional intelligence". EQ is a personal skill, and not to be confused with IQ or your so-called intelligence quotient. EQ is "measured" in a much different way, as we will see in this book. Although a case can be made that both IQ and EQ are subjective, most of us agree that IQ ends up as a number about someone's intelligence, whereas EQ ends up as an overall feeling and connection we have with an individual. As EQ becomes better appreciated, large corporations are looking more frequently and openly for high EQ individuals, whatever their IQ! That is because people with strong EQs perform better - in terms of pure efficiency and effectiveness, and in human interactive terms. So what is this thing we call EQ? To some degree, we all have EQ - some of us naturally have more than others. Any individual can consciously develop more of it. How we see the world, react to it, and behave in it with other people is emotion-based. In a nutshell, "having a high EQ" or "a good EQ" means that you are someone who understands what makes a human being tick, from an emotional and reactive standpoint. You are an individual who understands that we all see the world through eyeglasses clouded by feelings and emotions. You are able and willing, as a high EQ person, to adapt your own feelings and reactions to harmonize with those of others, or to position the situation for a better outcome for everyone involved. Whew! Sounds complicated. But again, rest assured that we all have some degree of EQ - we are born with it! We are all natural observers; we can all position ourselves to create better outcomes in situations that might otherwise go sour. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve White.

  Forever Sunset

  FOREVER SUNSET - JADCD 1116 An anthology of works by Australian composers in a wide range of styles and musical groupings ranging from mandolin & strings, tenor recorder & piano, voice with flute & piano, through mandolin ensemble, solo piano works and works for brass ensemble and duos for trumpet & piano. ROBERT ALLWORTH (b.1943) Track 1. FOREVER SUNSET (2004) for Mandolin-Violin-Viola and 'Cello FOREVER SUNSET takes ideas from the poem of the Lotus Eaters by Lord Alfred Tennyson. The music is full of colouristic effects and is an evocative portrayal of a Sunset. IAN SHANAHAN (b.1962) Track 2 HARMONIA (in PP) (2001) for Tenor Recorder and Piano harmonia [Greek] = 'a fitting together' = compositio[nis] [Latin] = 'a musical composition' (i.e. a harmonious, well-structured assemblage of sounds/silences), and - of course - 'harmony' = a homophony = chorale, recitative, ..., pp [Italian abbreviation for 'very quiet'] = Peter Platt = the Perfect Professor. To 'Prof ... a Persistence of (Pneuma [Greek]) = 'wind' and 'spirit': "Funereal yet serene - a dignified mourning" (of surprising starkness and textural simplicity), for one who Plucks Psalteries in Pleromatic Paradise... Lest We Forget. Harmonia (in PP), written in memory of Professor Peter Platt, employs none of my typically abstract, complex paracompositional schemata: rather, I approached this concise piece much more humbly - in a way that I imagine 'Prof himself might have quietly begun to sketch out one of his own modest works. BETTY BEATH (b.1942) Tracks 3 and 4 MEETING IN THE ROAD and THE SHE WOLF Meeting in the Road and The She-wolf are the 3rd and 4th songs from the cycle for voice, flute and piano titled POINTS IN A JOURNEY. This cycle of five songs was commissioned by North Adams State College, Massachusetts. The First Performance took place during the period of my residency at the College on the 7th October, 1987. Meeting in the Road, the setting of a text by an anonymous Chinese poet of the 1st Century BC touches on a universal theme...the brief meeting which somehow touches us in a way we shall always recall. In writing from a distance of 2,000 years he describes the place where he lived as 'easy enough to find, easy to find and difficult to forget'. In a narrow road where there was not room to pass My carriage met the carriage of a young man. And while his axle was touching my axle in the narrow road, I asked him where he lived. The place where I live is easy enough to find, Easy to find and difficult to forget. The gates of my house are built of yellow gold, The hall of my house is paved with wihte jade, On the hall table flagons of wine are set, I have summoned to serve me dancers from Han-tan. In the midst of the courtyard grows a cassia tree, And candles on it's branches flaring away in the night. The She-wolf, with words by the Queensland poet, Jena Woodhouse, describes her passionate relationship with her mother. My mother gave me tempest strife and storm, Flickerings of wisdom lit from within by fires of ancient lore And left the imprint of her Celtic soul A sense of something dangerous and passionate It was she who snarled defiance at the poverty that menaced her And hurled her gypsy curses in the teeth of bitter need, And held her head still higher before strangers And damned the world for misery and greed, It was she who took in homeless dogs to feed and care for, And sad old men who drank too much and died And she who'd weep her grief at each bereavement, The nightmare visions crowding in her eyes, And chide her children for their trespasses, And toil until she dropped to give them bread, And then in feral rage devour them, And bundle them to bed with growls and muttered benedictions, And watch them grow with pride That flashed like lightning in her tawny gaze, And give them heart to sing And pit their strength against the storm. ERIC GROSS (b.1926) Tracks 5 and 6 KLAVIERSTÜCK 1V op.225 (1998) and PLAYFUL SALLY op.300 (2006) "KLAVIERSTÜCK IV", one of a series of five Klavierstücke, is subtitled "quasi un' improvvisazione" and is meant to convey, within a formal structure, liberal amounts of contrasting tempi, dynamics, phrasing and moods, such as would be found in an improvisation. It is also intended to give the performer the opportunity to contribute creatively to the realization of the music in a free and unrestricted manner. After the opening statements, which alternate emphatic and cantabile phrases, a gentle section gives way to semiquaver phrases which increase in volume and speed and lead to several climaxes. These semiquaver phrases appear in various inversions and guises, eventually leading back into a gentler melodic section, previously heard soon after the beginning. A cadenza builds up to a strong climax after which the work is brought to it's close with a succession of pianistic statements.'Klavierstück IV' was originally written for Katarina Kroslakova as a gesture of thanks for participating in an earlier recording of a composition of mine for mandolin and piano. "PLAYFUL SALLY" is dedicated to it's performer Sally Mays because of her strong and generous support of Australian composers. This composition is a lighthearted tribute to her outstanding musicianship and technical excellence. After commencing mischievously in the style of a two-part invention, the piece playfully employs cross-rhythms and unexpected harmonic aberrations to mislead performers and listeners alike. EG. ANN CARR-BOYD (b.1938) Track 7 FOXTROT (1993) FOXTROT was commissioned by Adrian Hooper, Director of the Sydney Mandolins, to be performed by his ensemble. The music is another dance form piece and is meant as a companion piece to Fandango, one of Ann Carr-Boyd's most popular compositions, which was also written for the Sydney Mandolins. ERIC GROSS Track 8 HABAÑERA-SERENADE op.31/4 (1960-2007) This composition, originally for Violin and Piano, was written as a study in an 'Habañera' style of composition and has also been transcribed for Piano alone. This version for Soprano Saxophone and Piano was arranged in 2007 especially for the two performers on this recording, Berndt Klinke (Soprano Saxophone) and Idil Ugur ( Piano) for a performance in Germany. The music relies on it's obvious melodic appeal based on it's ternary form and it's minor-to-major key- transformation. EG. DEREK STRAHAN (b.1935) Track 9 SEISMIC MURMURS for Solo Piano (1992) - Derek Strahan - piano This is the closing section from Pt. 1 of Atlantis Variations for Solo Piano, one of several works written to develop material for inclusion in a proposed cycle of 4 operas suggested by Plato's account of the rise and fall of Atlantis. A 3-note whole tone figure heard as a bass rumble at the outset and continuing, represents the trident of the Greek sea god Poseidon, by which he controlled the movement of wind and tides. The motif for Poseidon is immediately heard over it followed by a more elegiac theme for his consort as ruler of Atlantis, the native woman Cleito. A monumental theme for their son Atlas follows. Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean are named after him. The responsibility of rule over his expanding empire is figuratively implied in the image of Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders. These and other motifs form the basis for passages signifying the seismic instability of the area in the Atlantic known as Dolphin's Ridge where Atlantis is placed by some writers. Heraldic fanfares depicting the Golden Age of Atlantis conclude this section. D.W.S. Recording, New Music Theatre, 8/7/2002. The complete work "Atlantis Variations" can be heard on the Revolve CD of that title RDS009. DANIEL WILLIAMS (b.1935) Tracks 10 and 11 DEO GRATIAS (2007) and FANFARE FOR HORROCKS (2007) Fanfare for Horrocks and Deo Gratias were written in 2007 by trumpeter and composer, Daniel Williams. Williams took on the position of Head of Bands at the The King's School in 2006, and it was there these compositions emerged. Deo Gratias was commissi
