The book aims to give an overview of the previous Sitges
Conferences, which have been held during the last 25 years, with
special emphasis on topics related to non-equilibrium phenomena. It
includes review articles and articles dealing with new trends in
the subject, written by scientists who have played an important
role in the development of this area. The book is intended as a
commemorative edition of the Sitges Conferences. Graduate students
of physics and researchers will find this a stimulating account of
the development of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in the
last years, covering a wide scope of topics: kinetic theory,
hydrodynamics, fluctuation phenomena and stochastic processes,
relaxation phenomena, kinetics of phase transitions, growth
kinetics, and so on.
Initially a subfield of solid state physics, the study of
mesoscopic systems has evolved over the years into a vast field of
research in its own right. Keeping track its rapid progress, this
book provides a broad survey of the latest developments in the
field. The focus is on statistics and dynamics of mesoscopic
systems with special emphasis on topics like quantum chaos,
localization, noise and fluctuations, mesoscopic optics and quantum
transport in nanostructures. Written with nonspecialists in mind,
this book will also be useful to graduate students wishing to
familiarize themselves with this field of research.
A rich variety of real-life physical problems which are still
poorly understood are of a nonlinear nature. Examples include
turbulence, granular flows, detonations and flame propagation,
fracture dynamics, and a wealth of new biological and chemical
phenomena which are being discovered. Particularly interesting
among the manifestations of nonlinearity are coherent structures.
This book contains reviews and contributions reporting on the state
of the art regarding the role of coherent structures and patterns
in nonlinear science.
This book demonstrates the usefulness of tools from statistical
mechanics for biology. It includes the new tendencies in topics
like membranes, vesicles, microtubules, molecular motors, DNA,
protein folding, phase transitions in biological systems,
evolution, population dynamics, neural systems and biological
oscillators, with special emphasis on the importance of statistical
mechanics in their development. The book addresses researchers and
graduate students.
