Quantum Theory, together with the principles of special and general relativity, constitute a scientific revolution that has profoundly influenced the way in which we think about the universe and the fundamental forces that govern it. The Historical Development of Quantum Theory is a definitive historical study of that scientific work and the human struggles that accompanied it from the beginning. Drawing upon such materials as the resources of the Archives for the History of Quantum Physics, the Niels Bohr Archives, and the archives and scientific correspondence of the principal quantum physicists, as well as Jagdish Mehra's personal discussions over many years with most of the architects of quantum theory, the authors have written a rigorous scientific history of quantum theory in a deeply human context. This multivolume work presents a rich account of an intellectual triumph: a unique analysis of the creative scientific process. The Historical Development of Quantum Theory is sci...

After two decades of research and development, elliptic curve cryptography now has widespread exposure and acceptance. Industry, banking, and government standards are in place to facilitate extensive deployment of this efficient public-key mechanism. Anchored by a comprehensive treatment of the practical aspects of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), this guide explains the basic mathematics, describes state-of-the-art implementation methods, and presents standardized protocols for public-key encryption, digital signatures, and key establishment. In addition, the book addresses some issues that arise in software and hardware implementation, as well as side-channel attacks and countermeasures. Readers receive the theoretical fundamentals as an underpinning for a wealth of practical and accessible knowledge about efficient application. Features & Benefits: * Breadth of coverage and unified, integrated approach to elliptic curve cryptosystems * Describes important industry and governme...

Advanced Imaging of the Foot and Ankle is a comprehensive guide to current medical imaging technologies used in diagnosing injuries and disorders of the foot and ankle. The book contains a wealth of high-resolution imaging studies for magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT), and ultra sonography (US), as well as the latest in nuclear medicine imaging technology. Chapters are focused on clinical cases involving injures and disorders of each anatomic region of the foot and ankle, including the Achilles tendon, heel, tarsometatarsal joints, metatarsals, metarasophalagial joints, and the toes. Additionally, information is given on safety considerations for imaging studies, including radiation concerns, and an appendix includes useful MR and CT protocols to apply to clinical use.
