"The Higgs boson ... is the key to understanding why mass exists and how atoms are possible. After billions of dollars and decades of effort by more than six thousand researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland--a doorway is opening into the mind-boggling world of dark matter and beyond. Caltech physicist and acclaimed writer Sean Carroll explains both the importance of the Higgs boson and the ultimately human story behind the greatest scientific achievement of our time"--Publisher.

El propósito del libro Calor, ondas y fluidos es ayudarnos a develar las respuestas a los fenómenos antes mencionados, así como a muchos otros. Además, nos introduce en el maravilloso mundo de la física por medio de podcasts, animaciones, de reflexiones éticas y de la resolución de problemas.

Soil is a pivotal component of the environment and the maintenance of soil quality is critical for ensuring the sustainability of the environment and the biosphere. The use of fertilizers has increased at a faster rate than global food production. Modern agriculture is dependent on phosphorus derived from phosphate rock, which is a non-renewable resource. It is needed to improve P acquisition efficiency for both low input and intensive agroecosystems. However, few studies have focused on cereal-legume interactions with regard to soil P. The objective of this work was to study the effects of...

El orden, así como la filosofía de presentación de las materias en este texto merece alguna explicación. Un problema inmediato es el que proviene de la presencia de dos aspectos de la Química física moderna. Un aspecto es macroscópico y fenomenológico por naturaleza; éste es ilustrado mediante temas de Termodinámica, equilibrios de fase y Electroquímica. El segundo aspecto es molecular y teórico, desarrollado mediante Termodinámica estadística y Mecánica ondulatoria.
