This second volume of 'The Physics of Sound and Music: A complete course text' is a lab manual providing a complete resource to accompany undergraduate courses on the physics of sound and music, and is supplemented by the textbook in volume one of this two-volume set.

In this book, we will look at all these aspects, going from particles, via atoms, cells, starts, galaxies, our place in the universe, to explore what makes us, human beings, really unique in nature: our ability to imagine and shape the future by making use of the scientific method.

This book introduces an exact approach to continuous dislocation dynamics based on the "all-dislocation" density (ADD), for mesoscopic simulation of coarse-grained dislocation microstructures.

A self-contained resource that keeps experimental demonstrations of quantum mechanics, quantum information and the nature of quantum reality centre-stage and weaves the necessary mathematics and underlying theory when and where it is needed.

The book covers various polarization and directional effects - practically important for diagnostics of plasmas - in the radiation of satellites of spectral lines from plasmas, in the intra-Stark spectroscopy of plasmas, in the Stark broadening of spectral lines by a high-energy hydrogen or deuterium beam, or by a relativistic electron beam in magnetic fusion plasmas, in the Stark broadening of spectral lines in strongly-magnetized plasmas, in the radiation of plasma-based x-ray lasers, and in the laser-induced fluorescence from plasmas.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of electronics for AI processing units, from classical to quantum computing. It introduces AI, machine learning, and deep learning, and reviews digital computer electronics. It explains the CPU and von Neumann bottleneck, and describes parallel computing architectures, AI-optimized hardware, and processors

This book is a valuable resource for professionals, researchers, and students who want to expand their knowledge of advanced computer vision techniques using PyTorch.

This book includes the most up-to-date point-of-care cancer detection technologies and processes, which are based on biomedical sensors, microfluidics, and integrated systems engineering. This book is an ideal resource for researchers in the fields of nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, and medical studies.

This book introduces the latest research on friction and wear at bolted joint interfaces. It explores the interface mechanics behaviour and modelling methods of bolted joints, helping readers to deepen their understanding through experimental tests and in-depth theoretical analysis, based on the latest research and developments in the field.

This book describes the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) issues within proton therapy and advises on how to use a variable RBE within treatment planning and in dose prescription to improve the safety of proton and other forms on ion beam therapy. Decision-making advice is also provided for protocol breaches, retreatments, dose rate effects and risk assessment.

This short monograph presents the theory of electromagnetic pulses in a simple and physical way. All pulses discussed are exact localized solutions of the Maxwell equations, and have finite energy, momentum and angular momentum.

The aim of this book is to guide students and junior researchers how to investigate and understand optoelectronic devices via exploring the light-material interactions with graphical concepts and simplified formulas.
