Health Care Entities — AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide

By American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)

Systems driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium can create dissipative structures through the spontaneous breaking of symmetries. A particularlyfascinating feature of these pattern-forming systems is their tendency toproduce spatially confined states. These localized wave packets can exist as propagating entities through space and/or time. Various examples of suchsystems will be dealt with in this book, including localized states in fluids, chemical reactions on surfaces, neural networks, optical systems, granular systems, population models, and Bose-Einstein condensates.This book should appeal to all physicists, mathematicians and electrical engineers interested in localization in far-from-equilibrium systems. The authors - all recognized experts in their fields -strive to achieve a balance between theoretical and experimental considerations thereby givingan overview offascinating physical principles, their manifestations in diverse systems, and the noveltechnical applications on the horizon.
