By Friedemann Freund, Stephanie Langhoff

The displays at this NASA-hosted Symposium in honor of Mino Freund will comment on the fields, to which his prolific brain has made major contributions. those comprise low temperature physics, cosmology, and nanotechnology with its wide-ranging applicability to fabric technological know-how, neuroscience, Earth sciences and satellite tv for pc expertise. to benefit extra approximately Mino’s profession you could obtain the "Tribute" http://multimedia.seti.org/mino/Tribute.pdf which outlines his trip from (i) low-temperature physics and superconductivity on the ETH Zürich to (ii) development one striking milliKelvin fridge for the US-Japan IRTS venture at UC Berkeley and ISAS in Japan to (iii) a decade in cosmology, to (iv) being at the micro-bolometer group at NASA Goddard for the HAWC device on SOFIA, to (v) constructing at AFRL the nanotechnology portfolio for the full Air strength. This used to be via six years on the NASA Ames examine middle, the place Mino formulated his far-ahead principles approximately swarms of able nanosats circling the Earth, that have given that began to develop into a fact. He engaged in a wide diversity of nanotechnology initiatives, together with novel purposes in neuroscience good sooner than he himself was once struck through the lethal mind tumor.

Handbook of Modern Sensors: Physics, Designs, and Applications

The Handbook's insurance of sensors is large, starting from basic photodiodes to complicated units containing parts together. It bargains hard-to-find reference facts at the homes of various fabrics and sensing components and emphasizes units which are much less famous, whose expertise continues to be being sophisticated, and whose use allows the dimension of variables that have been formerly inaccessible.

Quantum Measurements and Decoherence: Models and Phenomenology

Quantum size (Le. , a dimension that's sufficiently distinctive for quantum results to be crucial) was once continually the most impor­ tant issues in quantum mechanics since it so much obviously published the variation among quantum and classical physics. Now quantum degree­ ment is back less than energetic research, firstly as a result sensible necessity of facing hugely particular and intricate measurements.

We formulate a general mathematical scheme of how decisions are taken, using the point of view of psychological and cognitive sciences, without touching physiological aspects.
