TLDR
Taylor and Wheeler as mentioned in this paper have completely reorganised this popular and well known book to make it accessible to an even wider audience, with new topics, imaginative problems, and exceptionally clever illustrations, combined with a compelling narrative and intellectual authority.Abstract:
Edwin Taylor and John A. Wheeler-one of this century's most distinguished physicists - have completely reorganised this popular and well known book to make it accessible to an even wider audience. New topics, imaginative problems, and exceptionally clever illustrations, combined with a compelling narrative and intellectual authority make this a classic text. It is an ideal text for undergraduate courses in special relativity and modern physics.read more

Relativistic fluid dynamics: physics for many different scales
Nils Andersson,G. L. Comer +1 more
TL;DR: The mathematical and theoretical physics underpinnings of the relativistic (multiple) fluid model are discussed, including the variational principle approach championed by Brandon Carter and his collaborators, in which a crucial element is to distinguish the momenta that are conjugate to particle number density currents.

The ontology of spacetime
TL;DR: The sixteen papers collected in this volume are expanded and revised versions of talks delivered at the Second International Conference on the Ontology of Spacetime (John Earman, President) at Concordia University (Montreal) from 9 to 11 June 2006 as discussed by the authors.
Effect of Method and Rate of Fertilizer Application under Drip Irrigation on Yield and Nutrient Uptake by Tomato
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of method and rate of fertilizer application under a drip irrigation system were evaluated on growth, yield and nutrient uptake by tomato grown on sandy soil, and the results showed that fertigation of P at any rate resulted in more available P compared to soil applied treatment.

Vacuum fluctuation force on a rigid Casimir cavity in a gravitational field
TL;DR: In this article, the equivalence principle for zero point energy of quantum electrodynamics was verified by evaluating the force produced by vacuum fluctuations, acting on a rigid Casimir cavity in a weak gravitational field.

Self-Adaptation to Device Distribution in the Internet of Things
TL;DR: A new property of distributed algorithms, eventual consistency, is identified, which guarantees that computation converges to a final state that approximates a predictable limit, based on the continuous environment, as the density and speed of devices increases.
