Extensive cooperation among unrelated individuals is unique to humans, who often sacrifice
personal benefits for the common good and work together to achieve what they are unable …

The modern formulation of the renormalization group is explained for both critical
phenomena in classical statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The expansion in …

Cell migration is important in many biological processes, including embryonic development,
cancer metastasis and wound healing. In these tissues, a cell's motion is often strongly …

This book was conceived as a slim monograph, but grew to its present size as I attempted to
set down an account of two-dimensional lattice models in statistical mechanics, and how …

The behaviour of magnetic impurities in metals has posed problems to challenge the
condensed matter theorist over the past thirty years. This book deals with the concepts and …

The Kadanoff theory of scaling near the critical point for an Ising ferromagnet is cast in
differential form. The resulting differential equations are an example of the differential …

We propose a description of normalized distributions (measures) lying upon possibly fractal
sets; for example those arising in dynamical systems theory. We focus upon the scaling …

Anelastic Relaxation in Crystalline Solids provides an overview of anelasticity in crystals.
This book discusses the various physical and chemical phenomena in crystalline solids …

Scaling (power-type) laws reveal the fundamental property of the phenomena--self similarity.
Self-similar (scaling) phenomena repeat themselves in time and/or space. The property of …
