Pumping Ions
Does your mind wander when you think through a problem at home or at work? Do you have trouble remembering vital names, dates, facts? Instead of making creative leaps, are you all too often confronted with mental blocks? It may be that your mind is suffering from lack of exercise. In "Pumping Ions author Tom Wujec shows you how to strengthen, flex, tone, and coordinate you "mental muscles," conditioning the brain just as you do the body. Perfect for the student, business person, or anyone who feels their mind has grown "flabby," this fully-illustrated guide provides dozens of easy exercises designed to: -increase attention span -improve memory -enhance creativity -Stretch imagination -build up powers of deduction and analysis -hone decision-making skills It also exlains many invaluable techniques for relaxation, visualization, verbalization, and learning. Packed with intriguing puzzles, provocative ideas, and suggestions, this fascinating book can help you develop your very own mental fitness program--and gain the ultimate competitive edge in business, school, or recreation.
Physics with Multiply Charged Ions

Release Date: 2013-06-29
Multiply charged ions have always been in the focus of atomic physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, and theoretical physics. Within the last few years, strong progress has been achieved in the development of ion sources, ion storage rings, ion traps, and methods to cool ions. As a consequence, nowadays, experiments with ensembles of multiply charged ions of brilliant quality are performed in many laboratories. The broad spectrum of the experiments demonstrates that these ions are an extremely versatile tool for investigations in pure and applied physics. It was the aim of this ASI to bring together scientists working in different fields of research with multiply charged ions in order to get an overview of the state of the art, to sound out possibilities for fruitful cooperations, and to discuss perspectives for the future. Accordingly, the programme of the ASI reached from established areas like QED calculations, weak interactions, x-ray astronomy, x-ray lasers, multi photon excitation, heavy-ion induced fusion, and ion-surface interactions up to the very recently opened areas like bound-beta decay, laser and x-ray spectroscopy, and spectrometry of ions in rings and traps, and the interaction of highly charged ions with biological cells. Impressive progress in nearly all of the fields could be reported during the meeting which is documented by the contributions to this volume. The theoretical understand ing of QED and correlation effects in few-electron heavy ions is rapidly developing.
Water and Ions as the Conditions Necessary for the Presence of Life

Release Date: 2022-11-01
This book, drawing on the author’s extensive scientific research in different parts of the world and reports from other scientists, explores the intricate interdependence between water and ions. Water is well-known as the best diluent for supporting life, which allows the flow of molecules, which are made up of ions, from one particular point to another, but in many cases, despite the presence of water, life and biological entities are not found. This book allows the reader to pursue an answer to this mystery through scientific knowledge, as has never been presented before, showing how metal ions complement water for sustaining life. It considers the effects of cosmic dust and solar energy on the progression of biological systems, and the presence of metal ions such as sulfur as part of our proteins, calcium in animal and human skeletons, iron in our blood, fluoride in our teeth, sodium and potassium in our physiological activity, along with magnesium and zinc in plants. Furthermore, it explains the presence of the carbon element, which is ubiquitous in all biomolecules on earth. This book also provides techniques such as biomarkers, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence to identify undetectable biological entities.
