Simulation and modeling using numerical methods is one of the key instruments in any scientific work. In the field of photonics, a wide range of numerical methods are used for studying both fundamental optics and applications such as design, development, and optimization of photonic components. Modeling is key for developing improved photonic devices and reducing development time and cost.Choosing the appropriate computational method for a photonics modeling problem requires a clea...

Bodies Inhabiting the World: Scandinavian Creation Theology and the Question of Home offers a multidimensional investigation of how houses, bodies, communities and the whole universe may be conceived and refigured as places where we belong—where we are at home in God’s creation. In this way, revisiting the tradition of Scandinavian creation theology provides profound resources to make theological affirmations of God’s omnipresence in the human condition we all share. The emergence...

In this volume, prominent scholars take the reader on a journey from New Testament and early church views of incarnation to contemporary understandings of Christology.Deeply engaged with the classical tradition and the contemporary world, the book leads readers into critical explorations and debates of the concept of “deep incarnation”—the view that the divine incarnation in Jesus presupposes a radical embodiment that reaches into the roots of material and biological existence, as ...

Many scientists regard mass and energy as the primary currency of nature. In recent years, however, the concept of information has gained importance. Why? In this book, eminent scientists, philosophers and theologians chart various aspects of information, from quantum information to biological and digital information, in order to understand how nature works. Beginning with an historical treatment of the topic, the book also examines physical and biological approaches to information, and it...

This book brings together an impressive group of leading scholars in the sciences of complexity, and a few workers on the interface of science and religion, to explore the wider implications of complexity studies. It includes an introduction to complexity studies and explores the concept of information in physics and biology and various philosophical and religious perspectives. Chapter authors include Paul Davies, Greg Chaitin, Charles Bennett, Werner Loewenstein, Paul Dembski, Ian Stewart...

Gennem hele verdenshistorien har der fundet attentater sted mod ledende skikkelser. Mange attentater har ændret historiens gang. Hans Gregersen fortæller blandt andet om attentatet i Sarajevo i 1914 mod den østrig-ungarske tronfølger, Franz Ferdinand, som var med til at udløse første verdenskrig. Cæsar, Erik Klipping og Abraham Lincoln blev også udsat for attentater, og alle har de haft sin betydning for utallige menneskers fremtid.Hans Gregersen (f. 1946) er en dansk forfatter og ...
