About The Book:
Non-Traditional Phenomena in Transfer Theory by Apresyan offers an in-depth exploration of non-traditional phenomena in the context of transfer theory, particularly in wave measurements. The book presents cutting-edge advancements in transfer theory while bridging the gap between traditional models and the practical needs of professionals working across various fields of wave physics.

The book begins with a historical overview of transfer theory, before diving into the phenomenological theory of radiative transport. It integrates traditional theories with innovative concepts, deriving the transport equation from first principles. The discussion includes practical examples drawn from various branches of physics, showcasing diffraction content, non-classical radiometry, and the solutions to the transport equation, with a focus on wave physics and coherence function computation.

The author also explores topics not typically covered in traditional radiative transfer theory, such as enhanced backscattering, weak localization phenomena, nonlinear transport problems, and kinetic equations for waves. This monograph connects the classical power balance description of radiative transfer with modern coherence theory, making it an essential resource for researchers and professionals in optics, acoustics, radar theory, astrophysics, radio astronomy, and remote sensing.

This book is ideal for students and researchers looking to understand the latest developments in transfer theory and its applications across a wide range of scientific disciplines.
