Measuring nothing, repeatedly
There have been many recent discussions of the replication crisis in psychology and other social sciences. This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that researchers hesitate to submit null results and journals fail to publish such results. In this book, Allan Franklin and Ronald Laymon anal...

Understanding sonoluminescence
Sonoluminescence is the transformation of sound into light. To most who know how to do sonoluminescence, it’s just a little glowing bubble levitating in a flask of water. But it holds some surprises that have been overlooked. This book looks to reform our scientific understanding of sonoluminesce...

Disorder in domain theory
Domain theory is a subject that emerged as a response to natural concerns in the semantics of computation, and it involves the study of ordered sets that possess an unusual amount of mathematical structure. Disorder in Domain Theory explores the connection between domain theory and quantum inform...

The most interesting galaxies in the universe
Prior to the 1920s it was generally thought, with a few exceptions, that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was the entire universe. Based on the work of Henrietta Leavitt with Cepheid variables, astronomer Edwin Hubble was able to determine that others had to lie outside our own. This books looks at 60 ...

Basic surfaces and their analysis
“God made solids, but surfaces were the work of the devil.” This statement by Nobel prize winner Wolfgang Paul emphasizes the diabolic nature of surfaces. Since surface properties deviate significantly from the bulk solid state, surface studies can be puzzling, misleading, and quite exciting! Thi...
