    The Virtual Liturgy and Ritual Artifacts in Medieval and Early Modern Studies

    Examining the history of altar decorations, this study of the visual liturgy grapples with many of the previous theoretical frameworks to reveal the evolution and function of these ritual objects.

    Facts of Matter and Light

    Ten Physics Experiments that Shaped Our Understanding of Nature

    Christian Maes is a professor of mathematical  physics and natural philosophy at the KU Leuven, and his research interests lie in the area of nonequilibrium phenomena, stochastic geometry and dynamical systems, and in deriving emergent features of multicomponent models. As a leading expert, Maes has made significant contributions to the study of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, particularly in the areas of fluctuation theorems, large deviations, response theory and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. His work has helped to deepen our understanding of the behavior of systems that are far from thermal equilibrium, such as those found in living cells, in driven plasma and chemical reactions, and in active matter.  He developed a strong interest in the analysis of experiments and their results as a teaching tool and as a catalyst for advancing our understanding.   Christian Maes is on the editorial board of the Springer book seriesFundamental Theories of Physics, and serves as associate editor of the Journal of Statistical Physics, and section editor for Statistical Physics of the Annales Henri Poincaré.

  5. Non-Dissipative Effects in Nonequilibrium Systems

    Non-Dissipative Effects in Nonequilibrium Systems

    This book introduces and discusses both the fundamental aspects and the measurability of applications of time-symmetric kinetic quantities, outlining the features that constitute the non-dissipative branch of non-equilibrium physics.These specific features of non-equilibrium dynamics have largely been ignored in standard statistical mechanics texts. This introductory-level book offers novel material that does not take the traditional line of extending standard thermodynamics to the irreversible domain.It shows that although stationary dissipation is essentially equivalent with steady non-equilibrium and ubiquitous in complex phenomena, non-equilibrium is not determined solely by the time-antisymmetric sector of energy-entropy considerations. While this should not be very surprising, this book provides timely, simple reminders of the role of time-symmetric and kinetic aspects in the construction of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.
