Algorithmic Information Theory - Fundamentals and Applications

Fouad Sabry

Summary

What Is Algorithmic Information Theory
 
The field of theoretical computer science known as algorithmic information theory, or AIT for short, is concerned with the relationship between computation and information of computably generated things (as opposed to stochastically generated objects), such as strings or any other data structure. In other words, algorithmic information theory demonstrates that computational incompressibility "mimics" (with the exception of a constant that solely depends on the universal programming language that was selected) the relations or inequalities that are present in information theory. Gregory Chaitin explains that it is "the result of putting Shannon's information theory and Turing's computability theory into a cocktail shaker and shaking them vigorously."

The Universal Timekeepers -...

David J. Helfand

Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed—give or take a few billion. And there's hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.9999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past. 
 
 
 
David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earth's climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself?

Circumcision - How an Ancient...

Kenneth S. Lipman

Winner of the Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Award Gold Medal for health and medicine 
Winner of the Firebird Book Award for medical nonfiction 
Nominated for the prestigious Montaigne Medal science award 
Finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Award Grand Prize 
Finalist for the First Horizon Award 
Every year, millions of baby boys are circumcised, either for purported health benefits, or for religious reasons. This book provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the risks and rewards of that practice, which has significant effects on sexuality, psychology, and overall health. 
Drawing on 869 research references and firsthand accounts, Dr. Lipman sheds light on the disparity between traditional views and contemporary medical perspectives. 
Whether you're a parent contemplating the procedure for your child or an academic in search of an in-depth analysis, Circumcision provides a balanced and factual perspective on this widely performed yet increasingly debated surgery. 
In this groundbreaking, meticulously rendered book, you will learn: 
• Why circumcision does not improve a baby's health 
• Why circumcision does not reduce the incidence of AIDS or urinary tract infections, as is often claimed 
• The deep financial incentives behind the six billion-dollar circumcision industry 
• That the pain of circumcision is equivalent to torture, and why anesthesia is rarely used 
• Circumcision's significant physical and mental health risks, including death 
• Why both men and women enjoy sex more if the man is uncircumcised 
• That adherents to Judaism or Islam may not be required to ritually circumcise their child, as is often thought 
• The history of circumcision 
• The ethics and legality of circumcision 
• Why America is the only country in the world with a high rate of medical circumcision

Nephrology - Kidney Diseases and...

Ava Westwood

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney-related diseases. The kidneys, two vital organs located in the lower back, play an essential role in maintaining the body's overall health by filtering waste, regulating fluid levels, balancing electrolytes, and controlling blood pressure. In addition to their role in excretion, the kidneys are crucial in regulating the body's internal environment, making nephrology an integral field in medicine. Nephrology encompasses a wide range of diseases and conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), kidney stones, glomerular diseases, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The growing incidence of kidney-related disorders, particularly CKD, has made nephrology a crucial part of healthcare systems worldwide. 
The importance of nephrology in healthcare cannot be overstated, as kidney diseases often develop silently, showing few symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Early detection is vital in preventing the progression of kidney disease and reducing complications, including kidney failure. With millions of individuals affected by CKD and a steadily rising number of patients with end-stage renal disease, nephrologists play an indispensable role in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Kidney diseases require a multidisciplinary approach, with nephrologists working closely with other specialists, such as dietitians, nurses, and social workers, to ensure comprehensive care for patients. 
Historically, nephrology has made significant strides in both research and clinical care. The discovery of the kidney’s essential functions, including its ability to filter waste and maintain homeostasis, paved the way for understanding kidney diseases. The development of dialysis in the mid-20th century allowed patients with kidney failure to survive by mimicking the filtration functions of the kidneys.
