Selected Topics on Antenna Synthesis
This volume provides essential tools for developing antennas. It moves beyond classical synthesis to focus on synthesizing desired radiation patterns and optimizing phase patterns to eliminate shadowing effects, while strengthening the reader’s engineering style of thinking.
Semiotics for Art History
Reading art from a semiotic perspective, this book offers a new interpretation of Chinese landscape painting and outlines a new framework for contemporary semiotics and critical theory. Learn how to put theory into practice and acquire a new point of view in appreciating art.
Semirings are used in cryptography as their additive operation lacks an inverse, preventing cryptosystem breakage. This book describes such protocols and the hard math their security is based on, appealing to cryptographers and specialists in applied algebra.
Advance Peridynamics to model thin, shell-like structures. This book unveils extensions for solving shear-locking and introduces enhanced methods for accurately analyzing damage in fibre-reinforced composites.
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
Silicon Dioxide and the Luminescence of Related Materials
This book focuses on the physics of disordered solids, challenging theories based on crystal structures. It compares data for crystals and glasses formed by the same atoms, paying particular attention to under-explored glass-forming crystals for students and researchers.
This book presents over 40 experiments in optics for students and engineers. Covering components like lenses, mirrors, and gratings, each experiment is clearly described with concise, easy-to-understand theory to explain the principles underlying them.
For exhibition designers, managing visitor circulation is often guesswork, and modifying designs is costly. This book discusses a simulation application to guide the process, presenting the challenges of integrating a complex mathematical process into an artistic one.
Simulation and Modeling of Emerging Devices
This book covers the principles, modelling, fabrication, and applications of TFETs and FinFETs. A reference for students, researchers, and device engineers, it details simulation aspects and technological developments, assuming a background in semiconductor device physics.
Simulation-based Medical Training
This volume explores the user-centred development of a Virtual Reality (VR) and web-based medical training system. It shows how a democratic arrangement between users and developers is beneficial, using prototypes to bridge the knowledge gap.
Singing for Themselves
This collection offers new conclusions about how female artists have contributed to pop, rock, blues and punk. From Etta James and Patti Smith to Destiny’s Child, these essays suggest new ways to hear music that is already part of our culture.
Explore the wave and vibration equation, emphasizing singular solutions and physical content. This book covers applications from tsunamis and storm breakers to the ringing of bells and collapsing towers. For students, researchers, and engineers in physics and applied mathematics.
This volume explores cultural landscapes and architectural symbols through the notion of genius loci. Focused on Lithuanian historical contexts, these essays provide insights into the making and destruction of landscapes for architects, historians, and scholars globally.
