| 520 | 3 | |a Digital Informatics and Isotopic Biology discusses self-organization and the emergence of order at the atomic scale with a particular emphasis on the digital information that can be carried by proper ordering of stable isotopes. This ushers in the concept of isotopic biology as a complimentary level to the "common" biology. The book discusses the area of isotopic randomness (isotopicity) and numerous implications of it for physics, biology, biomedicine, informatics, and other areas of science. It offers a unique and original view and may be the first milestone of this novel emerging area. The character of the book is highly interdisciplinary with numerous philosophical and historical discourses and comments. | |

| 545 | |a Alexander (Alex and/or Sasha) Berezin was born 26 April 1944 in Russia (USSR), during the last year of the Second World War. Until 1978 he lived in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) and in 1970 obtained a PhD in theoretical physics (quantum solid state physics) from Leningrad State University. Apart from physics he received an education in the History of Arts from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad where his mother worked as a senior expert in arts and a curator of the French painting collection. From 1969 to 1974 he worked as a researcher (theoretical physicist) at the Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad, and from 1974 to 1977 he was a Docent (Associate Professor) at the Department of Physics, Makarov Higher Naval Engineering Academy, Leningrad. In 1978 he emigrated with his family (wife and two children) to Canada. Between 1978 and 1980 he was a research associate at the Department of Physics, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. His last work (1980-2010) was as Professor, Department of Engineering Physics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, and he retired in 2010. His present status is Professor Emeritus and he lives in Toronto. His areas of interest include: quantum physics, nanotechnology, physics of information (energy and information), electromagnetism, electrical and thermal properties of materials, physics of isotopes, extended ideas on isotopic diversity (isotopicity) in digital informatics, biology, biophysics and biomedicine and emerging technologies, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and physics of chaos, randomness and self-organization, randomness and creativity, complexity theory, phase transitions and catastrophe theory, quantum computing, non-local quantum effects and quantum entanglement, singular (delta) potentials in quantum mechanics, environment and health physics, sustainability, electrostatics and self-organization in Coulombic systems, pollution control systems (electrostatic precipitation), quantum physics of consciousness, physics of homeopathy (memory effect in solutions) and 'healing crystals', philosophy and foundations of mathematics (Platonism and Pythagorism, Cantor's 'alephs', number theory, prime numbers, tower exponents), fractals and Mandelbrot sets, cosmology, 'parallel universes' and inflationary cosmological models, virtual and simulated realities, transhumanism, singularity, infinity and universal informatics, Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges, the arts (in particular, visionary arts and surrealism), architecture and design. He has published 160 peer-reviewed papers in major physical and engineering journals, 65 articles in conference proceedings and 260 other publications (abstracts of talks and seminars, magazine and newspaper articles, reports, etc). | ||
