THINKING MATTERS

Study Guide

Module I Critical Thinking as Creative Problem Solving by Gary Mar (Stony Brook University, USA) The ancient Roman orator Horace (65 B.C. – 8 B.C.) wrote, “Control your mind or it will control you.” In today’s society we are faced with more information, and more complex information, than ever. Faced with making decisions, we can feel overwhelmed and helpless. One way to become less helpless — to gain control over our lives — is to gain control over our own thinking. We can feel helpless when faced with this barrage of information, opinions, data, and conflicting arguments if we lack the skills to quickly grasp and critically evaluate them. This book is designed to impart these kinds of skills. More details on Page 15

by Gautier Depambour (Université de Paris, France)

BOOKS

This is a textbook on the basic sciences of sound. It contains sufficient latest information on the subject and is divided into four parts that fit into the semester structure.

From the accelerator control room to the huge Computing Centre, via the auditorium where the discovery of the Higgs boson was announced in July 2012, I invite you to experience for one day an immersion in the world of research in particle physics! Discovering emblematic installations at CERN, walking through the places where people spend every working day, meeting with researchers in various fields, descending into the ATLAS cavern ... Our visit, whose path will mimic that of the particles during their journey, will be full of anecdotes and surprises.

The first part deals with basic Newton’s second law of motion, simple harmonic oscillation, and wave properties. The second part focuses on the psychoacoustics of our perception of three attributes of sound: loudness, pitch and timbre. The third part discusses the basic physics of some musical instruments and human voice. The fourth part includes electricity and magnetism, room acoustics, digital technology in acoustics, effects of noise on human hearing, and noise regulations for hearing protection that are relevant to sound wave production, transmission, storage, and human ear protection. Our ears are extremely sensitive. Without proper protection, loud noise including loud music can damage our ears. Government regulation and education serve as a first line of protection in working environments.

There is a Supplement on mathematical understanding. The approach invites one to advert to one’s own experience in mathematics and, that way, identify elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching. Prerequisites are competence in single-variable calculus. Some familiarity with partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule would be helpful. But for the convenience of the reader we review essentials of single- and multi-variable calculus needed for the three main theorems of vector calculus.

BOUNDED SYMMETRIC DOMAINS IN BANACH SPACES

Textbook GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS OF DESIGN

by Cho-Ho Chu (Queen Mary University of London, UK)

Old and New

This timely book exposes succinctly recent advances in the geometric and analytic theory of bounded symmetric domains. A unique feature is the unified treatment to both finite and infinite dimensional symmetric domains, using Jordan theory in tandem with Lie theory. The highlights include a generalized Riemann mapping theorem, which realizes a bounded symmetric domain as the open unit ball of a complex Banach space with a Jordan structure. Farreaching applications of this realization in complex geometry and function theory are discussed. This monograph is intended to be a convenient reference for researchers and graduate students in geometric analysis, infinite dimensional holomorphy as well as functional analysis and operator theory.

BOOKS

The present book aims to provide systematic and reliable techniques, called the global solution, for Sudoku puzzles. Any proper Sudoku puzzle, which has one and only one solution of Sudoku, can be solved by anyone following the techniques provided in this book. Specific symbols are introduced to express the 6 basic rules of the Sudoku global solution, as the results, those Sudoku solving techniques are presented similar to the annotations in chess. Finnish mathematician Arto Inkala proposed “the most difficult Sudoku puzzle” in 2007. Then, he designed another difficult Sudoku puzzle in 2012, named “the thing Everest”. In the present book the solving process of those two difficult Sudoku puzzles are illustrated reliably by the specific symbols of the global solution step by step.

MATHEMATICAL NUGGETS FROM AUSTRIA

MATHEMATICS ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE MILLIONS by Alfred S Posamentier (City University of New York, USA)

Selected Problems from the Styrian Mid-Secondary School Mathematics Competitions

This book demonstrates to the general audience that mathematics can be entertaining and fun, rather than the sad reputation it has gained over decades from uninspired school instruction that is often devoid of enrichment or motivational considerations.

BOOKS

by Robert Geretschläger (BRG Keplerstraβ e, Austria) & Gottfried Perz (BG/BRG Pestalozzistraβ e, Austria) This book is composed of the most interesting problems from a quarter century of regional mathematics competitions for students aged 11 – 14 in the province of Styria, Austria. The problems presented here range from pure puzzles to a more traditional mathematical type of question, but all are somehow special, posed with the intent of giving the reader something interesting to think about, with the promise of an entertaining moment of elucidation and enlightenment at the end.

The book is designed in such a way that a reader will need almost no special preparation in mathematics, but to recall some of the most basic concepts that were taught at the lower-secondary-grade level. Yet, by the same token, the book will hopefully open up doors for those less motivated in mathematics — to interest readers to investigate some of the topics presented and thereby enhance their knowledge of mathematics — something most general readers will not initially find possible, but we hope will be an end product of this book.

Contents: Number Digits; A Little Bit of Algebra; Building with Bricks; Sports; Circles; Logic; Fractions; Percentages; Our 3D World; Money; Its About Time; Letter Puzzles and Digit Puzzles; How Frau, How Fast, How Long; Triangles; Quadrilaterals and Polygons; Divisibility; Cutting and Rearranging; Sequences; Counting Things.

Anthropology and History

by Kecheng Xu (Jinan University, China)

BOOKS

by Hiroyuki Yamada (Aichi Gakuin University, Japan) & Eisaku Kanazawa (Nihon Univ., Japan)

COVID-19 pneumonia is ravaging the world. Faced with the lack of specialized treatment, a novel form of hydrogen-oxygen inhalation therapy has been successfully developed. Molecular hydrogen, a very safe “physiological gas”, has proven to be able to reduce lung damage caused by viruses including COVID-19, improve dyspnea, and promote disease recovery due to its healing biological properties.

This book introduces the achievements of dental anthropology research in Japan to the people in the world. It starts with the tooth morphology of the people in the Paleolithic Period about 20, 000 years ago. Then it goes through Jomon Age and Yayoi Age when the admixture of the people happened. Here the difference of the tooth shape between those two human groups is emphasized. After these ages, Japanese teeth were not the same from age to age influenced by the environment. In the current age of Japan, topics such as third molar agenesis, change of eruption time of the first permanent teeth, mandibular torus, and high canine are discussed. These abnormal conditions in Japan also reflect the characteristic features of Japanese history and culture.

This book details an innovative form of treatment from theory to practice, and comprehensively discusses the rationality of this new treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia. It is ideal not only for doctors, but also for the general public, as it provides new knowledge and effective treatment and rehabilitation methods to combat this highly infectious disease.

Featured Contents: Japanese Dentition: Paleolithic Age; Jomon Period; Yayoi Period; Roots of Japanese Dentition: Mongoloid Dental Complex; Roots of Jomon People’s Teeth; Tooth Size in Inhabitants of Japanese Islands: Seven Regions in Japanese Islands; Secular Change in Total Tooth Size; Third Molar Tooth: Origin of Third Molar; Secular Change in Third Molar Agenesis; Congenitally Missing Teeth: Frequency of Congenitally Missing Teeth; Characteristics Dental Traits: History of Dental Caries; and others.

Contents: Hydrogen Gas and Its Biological Effects; Effects of Hydrogen on Experimental Lung Damage; Pathogenesis of Viral Infectious Lung Disease; Oxidative Stress and ROS During Viral Respiratory Infections; Study on Lung Diseases with Hydrogen-Oxygen Treatment; Rationality of Application of HydrogenOxygen Inhalation for COVID-19 Pneumonia; Clinical Use of Hydrogen-Oxygen Inhalation for Treatment of COVID-19 Pneumonia.

Readership: Those interested in dental science, anthropology, archaeology and Japanese history.

This book contains an in-depth quantitative analysis of the development of the COVID-19 epidemic in China from its very beginning in December 2019 to early April 2020 when it was brought under control. It begins with adjustments of the official cumulative data on newly confirmed cases and deaths, removing any inconsistencies and smoothing the surges not attributable directly to the COVID-19 virus itself. It discusses the measures undertaken by the Chinese Government to control the epidemic. It examines the extent of the infection, the case mortality, and the costs to the Chinese economy in both Hubei, the province in which the first confirmed case was discovered, and the rest of the Mainland outside of Hubei. There is also an international comparison of the Chinese experience with those of other countries.

Can there be reliable information that is also relevant to decision making? Information for Efficient Decision Making: Big Data, Blockchain and Relevance focuses on the consolidation of information to facilitate making decisions in firms, in order to make their operations efficient to reduce their costs and consequently, increase their profitability. The advent of blockchain has generated great interest as an alternative to centralized organizations, where the data is gathered through a centralized ledger keeping of activities of the firm. The decentralized ledger keeping is one of the main features of blockchain that has given rise to many issues of technology, development, implementation, privacy, acceptance, evaluation and so on. Blockchain concept is a follow-up to big data environment facilitated by enormous progress in computer hardware, storage capacities and technological prowess. This has resulted in the rapid acquiring of data not considered possible earlier. With shrewd modeling analytics and algorithms, the applications have grown to significant levels. This handbook discusses the progress in data collection, pros and cons of collecting information on decentralized publicly available ledgers and several applications.

Being an island nation, the ocean is never too far from Sri Lanka. Situated right at the center of the world’s busiest sea lanes of communication, the geography connects the country with the Indian Ocean, and its destiny is linked to this strategic body of water. For centuries, the Indian Ocean has been part of Sri Lanka’s strategic, security, and political narratives. However, over the years, the country’s involvement in the affairs of the Indian Ocean has retracted due to domestic and regional circumstances. Its consciousness of its ocean identity declined when it took an inward orientation which gave greater visibility to its South Asian identity, and its own imagination began to pivot towards the Indian hinterland. However, with the rising importance of the Indian Ocean in geopolitics, and with the end of the civil war, Sri Lanka’s consciousness of its ocean identity has grown. Successive governments have formulated policies that would have paved its way to become the hub of the Indian Ocean, making the ocean the center of its economic development, maritime security, and defense relations. Amidst this backdrop, this book explores historical and contemporary perspectives on Sri Lanka’s relations with the Indian Ocean.

BOOKS

China has attracted a huge amount of investment in R&D internationalization of multinational corporations (MNCs), investment that is playing an important role in its economy. Constrained by natural resources, China has to attach more importance to technological progress and indigenous innovation in order to go beyond the old economic growth model. Technology seems inaccessible to the outsiders, which prevents others from research in a comprehensive and systematic manner. In this book, technology is regarded as a factor of production that is allocated by MNCs across the world to maximize profit. Such a rational economic behavior serves as our entry point to enrich existing theoretical achievements on R&D internationalization by illustrating on the trade of technology.
