The Photon

$26.83

This "particle" of light energy and its discovery revolutionized our understanding of subatomic physics and led to the theory of quantum physics. Through this new book, readers will learn about these minute packets of electromagnetic radiation and the scientists such as Max Planck and Albert Einstein, who figured out how they work.

Polaritons in Periodic and Quasiperiodic Structures

In recent years there have been exciting developments in techniques for producing multilayered structures of different materials, often with thicknesses as small as only a few atomic layers. These artificial structures, known as superlattices, can either be grown with the layers stacked in an alternating fashion (the periodic case) or according to some other well-defined mathematical rule (the quasiperiodic case). This book describes research on the excitations (or wave-like behavior) of these materials, with emphasis on how the material properties are coupled to photons (the quanta of the light or the electromagnetic radiation) to produce mixed waves called polaritons.

The Tests of Time: Readings in the Development of Physical Theory by Lisa M. Dolling, ISBN 0691090858

The development of physical theory is one of our greatest intellectual achievements. Its products--the currently prevailing theories of physics, astronomy, and cosmology--have proved themselves to possess intrinsic beauty and to have enormous explanatory and predictive power. This anthology of primary readings chronicles the birth and maturation of five such theories (the heliocentric theory, the electromagnetic field theory, special and general relativity, quantum theory, and the big bang theory) in the words of the scientists who brought them to life. It is the first historical account that captures the rich substance of these theories, each of which represents a fascinating story of the interplay of evidence and insight--and of dialogue among great minds.

Readers sit in with Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo as they overturn the geocentric universe; observe the genius of Faraday and Maxwell as they "discover" the electromagnetic field; look over Einstein's shoulder as he works out the...

Radiowave Propagation by Jacques Lavergnat, ISBN 047149027X

Radio Wave Propagation provides an introduction to the study of the free propagation of electromagnetic waves. A good understanding of the propagation mechanisms is essential for the communications engineer and this text offers the necessary background knowledge. It emphasises the methods of establishing propagation models and covers the three basic elements: the nature of effective modelling, electromagnetism effects, and propagation devices.
Features include:
Numerous problems and exercises accompanied by detailed solutions
Discussion of the impact of this theory on communication systems such as mobile radio and satellite links
Details the main aspects of propagation, measurements and applications.
Essential reading for communications engineers, electronic engineers and undergraduate and postgraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering and applied physics. Radiowave Propagation by Jacques Lavergnat, ISBN 047149027X

Higher-Order Numerical Methods for Transient Wave Equations by Gary Cohen, ISBN 354041598X

Solving efficiently the wave equations involved in modeling acoustic, elastic or electromagnetic wave propagation remains a challenge both for research and industry. To attack the problems coming from the propagative character of the solution, the author constructs higher-order numerical methods to reduce the size of the meshes, and consequently the time and space stepping, dramatically improving storage and computing times. This book surveys higher-order finite difference methods and develops various mass-lumped finite (also called spectral) element methods for the transient wave equations, and presents the most efficient methods, respecting both accuracy and stability for each sort of problem. A central role is played by the notion of the dispersion relation for analyzing the methods. The last chapter is devoted to unbounded domains which are modeled using perfectly matched layer (PML) techniques. Numerical examples are given.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (DVD)

Allan Dwan re-teams with Shirley Temple in this adaptation of the children`s classic, which shares nothing with the well-known story except its title. After a nationwide search to find a Little Miss Universe, cereal mogul Cyrus Bartlett (Paul Harvey) hears the voice of an eight-year-old girl, Rebecca Winstead (Shirley Temple), and tells ad executive Tony Kent (Randolph Scott) that she`s the girl he wants. But when the announcer mistakenly tells the girl that her audition is over, Rebecca`s stepfather... cellular phone battery Electromagnetic Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (DVD) The Photon

Lymphocyte Homing To The Skin

Over the last decade, enormous progress in the understanding of T-cell homing has made it possible to identify the multitude of molecules involved, such as cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules, and to unravel their complex interactions resulting in controlled, non-random T-cell recirculation. These insights are now being explored therapeutically, with several compounds close to approval. Highlighting key findings in the field, Lymphocyte Homing to the Skin: Immunology, Immunopathology, and... cell Lymphocyte Homing To The Skin Electromagnetic

Love on the Line

A National Park Service Ranger in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kay Westmore has all the drama she can handle right now. In addition to escalating problems within her own family, she has become the target of a series of harassing letters and phone calls that she suspects are the work of her abusive ex-lover.

To complicate matters, she's about to embark on a dangerous survival mission to Northern Alaska at the worst time of the year with her new boss, Grace Perry. Grace is an ambitious (but very attractive)... best cellular phone
