Summary

Quantum Electronics is that discipline of Physics which dealswith the impact of quantum mechanics on the specific behaviorof electrons in elements or that of any matter. To get an indepth understanding of the quantum electronics as a whole, itis required that atomic physics, which studies and explains theinner workings of atoms in matter, has to be understood verywell. Atomic Physics is widely acclaimed as the most active ofthe testing grounds of the quantum theory and is rightly thefield of extensive research for both its contribution to quantumelectronics and technology in general, as well as for itscontribution to all physics fundamentally. Not only quantumelectronics, but a plethora of other disciplines are heavilyindebted to Atomic Physics in that regard, some of them arequantum chemistry, astrophysics, solid-state physics, laserphysics etc. According to one of the greatest pioneers ofquantum mechanics, Mr. Feynman, if for some reason, all theinformation regarding science that is known to man today hasto go except only one sentence that could be passed on to thenext generation of creatures, then the most important of allinformation to fit into that one sentence would be the idea ofatoms or atomic hypothesis / fact, whichever you want to callit - that describes little particles that are under constantmovement and attracting each other if apart and repelling eachother when squeezed- With a little bit of thinking andimagination applied to that one sentence, one can easily observethe huge information as well as the great evaluation madeabout our world! The primary task of Atomic Physics is todetermine the wave functions as well as the energies emittedout of the quantized electron, leaving everything else related tothe nucleus is left to Nuclear Physics to determine. So, forconcept building we need to put stress on the basics of atomicphysics before moving on the applications of QuantumElectronics.Generation and direct amplification of short laser pulses withhigh output energies requires the use of amplifiers and otherlarge-aperture components, which greatly increases the difficultiesencountered in construction of suitable systems and, in the finalanalysis, their cost. The progress made in the generation ofmaximum pulse intensities shows that the application ofenhancement and compression has raised the intensity ofchirped pulses.In the interaction of ultra-short pulses with solidtargets, the contrast of such pulses should be sufficiently highto ensure that plasma does not form before the main pulsearrives on a target. The contrast may be improved by severalfactors, which manifest themselves in different ways at differenttime intervals. On the microsecond scale, the contrast may bereduced by super-luminescence of laser amplifiers, which can beeliminated effectively by a variety of methods such as spatialfilters, optical switches.

    Sample Insights: 
    1) The human body consists of fifty-nine different elements and seven billion billion billion atoms. These atoms join together to form cells, which then make up our organs. What is most remarkable is that not one organ or cell is in charge. They all communicate to create coordinated action. 
    2) Inside each cell is your DNA, which is like an instruction manual for making you. The paradox of genetics is that all humans share 99.9 percent of our DNA and yet we are all so different. A large portion of our DNA still remains a mystery.

    The NHS - The Story So Far

    A history of Britain’s healthcare system, from the Victorian era to the post-World War II beginnings of the NHS to the Coronavirus pandemic. 
     
    The Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has changed life as we know it and thrust the NHS into the spotlight. A nation in lockdown has adorned windows with rainbows and stepped onto doorsteps every Thursday to celebrate the people who are risking their lives by turning up to work. But as the grim reports of deaths from the disease cumulate, along with stories of insufficient protective equipment for staff, there is hope that the crisis will raise awareness and bring change to the way the NHS and its people are treated. 
     
    At midnight on 5 July 1948, the National Health Service was born with the founding principal to be free at the point of use and based on clinical need rather than on a person’s ability to pay. Over seventy years since its formation, these core principals still hold true, but the world has changed. Persistent underfunding has not kept pace with increased demand for healthcare, leading to longer waiting times, staffing shortages and low morale. 
     
    This book traces the history of our health service, from Victorian healthcare and the early 20th century, through a timeline of change to the current day, comparing the problems and illnesses of 1948 to those we face today. Politics and funding are demystified and the effects of the pandemic are discussed, alongside personal stories from frontline staff and patients who have experienced our changing NHS. 
     
    “Ellen's book takes us on an emotional journey through the history of our beloved NHS. This should be compulsory reading for anyone who thinks the NHS is safe in the hands of anyone but the Labour Party. Absolutely enthralling.” —Books Monthly

    Brilliant Green - The Surprising...

    Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? Or are they passive, incapable of independent action or social behavior? Philosophers and scientists have pondered these questions since ancient Greece, most often concluding that plants are unthinking and inert: they are too silent, too sedentary—just too different from us. Yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged these ideas, shedding new light on the extraordinary capabilities and complex interior lives of plants. 
    In Brilliant Green, Stefano Mancuso, a leading scientist and founder of the field of plant neurobiology, presents a new paradigm in our understanding of the vegetal world. Combining a historical perspective with the latest in plant science, Mancuso argues that, due to cultural prejudices and human arrogance, we continue to underestimate plants. In fact, they process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another—showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. Through a survey of plant capabilities from sight and touch to communication, Mancuso challenges our notion of intelligence, presenting a vision of plant life that is more sophisticated than most imagine.

    Have you thought about a career in data science? It's where the money is right now, and it's only going to become more widespread as the world evolves. Machine learning is a big part of data science, and for those that already have experience in programming, it's the next logical step. 
    Machine learning is a subsection of AI, or Artificial Intelligence, and computer science, using data and algorithms to imitate human thinking and learning. Through constant learning, machine learning gradually improves its accuracy, eventually providing the optimal results for the problem it has been assigned to. 
    It is one of the most important parts of data science and, as big data continues to expand, so too will the need for machine learning and AI. 
    Here's what you will learn in this quick guide to machine learning with Python for beginners:What machine learning isWhy Python is the best computer programming language for machine learningThe different types of machine learningHow linear regression worksThe different types of classificationHow to use SVMs (Support Vector Machines) with Scikit-LearnHow Decision Trees work with ClassificationHow K-Nearest Neighbors worksHow to find patterns in data with unsupervised learning algorithms 
    You will also find plenty of code examples to help you understand how everything works.

    Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the reader on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance.That vessel itself is science fiction. But the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture that current science has to offer.Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over 50 images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.Interstellar Tours takes the reader on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance.That vessel itself is science fiction.
