1. Spike Timing

   Mechanisms and Function

   Edited by Patricia M. DiLorenzo, Jonathan D. Victor

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the smallest movement to our grandest thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that support these functions, spike timing is among the most powerful and—until recently—perhaps the least studied. In the last two decades, however, the...

4. Fluctuation Theory of Solutions

   Applications in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Biophysics

   Edited by Paul E. Smith, Enrico Matteoli, John P. O' Connell

   There are essentially two theories of solutions that can be considered exact: the McMillan–Mayer theory and Fluctuation Solution Theory (FST). The first is mostly limited to solutes at low concentrations, while FST has no such issue. It is an exact theory that can be applied to any stable solution...
