This book is devoted to synthesis problems in the design of radiating systems (antennas). Its aim is to determine the current distribution in an antenna to produce a desired radiation pattern, using phase freedom for better approximation. It also discusses scattering problems.
Doctoral Education in Architecture
Doctoral Education in Architecture: Challenges and Opportunities deals with a topic on which there is currently little literature available. Containing data from a pilot study and contributions on European schools, this volume provides insight for future challenges.
Explore the lives and discoveries of marine biologist Edouard Chatton and his Nobel Prize-winning pupil, André Lwoff. This tribute presents, for the first time, Chatton’s beautiful, annotated educational course boards, showcasing their scientific and artistic talents.
Revisiting the Past through Rhetorics of Memory and Amnesia
This volume investigates how our memories of conflict are shaped by rhetoric. From the American Revolution to the war in Iraq, the authors examine how rhetoric acts as a catalyst not only for what we remember, but also for what we are made to forget.
This book presents research on optical filters for communication systems. These devices are designed and optimized to accurately filter channels from multiplexed optical signals through wavelength tenability, produced via thermo-optic, electro-optic, and strain effects.
This book presents a simplified deliberation of fractional calculus for beginners and researchers. It shows why classical Newtonian calculus fails to describe actual systems, and discusses applications of non-integer differentiation in different areas of science and engineering.
Wallace examines the social, technical and educational implications of a society where hyper-reality, artificial intelligence and robotics may be at the centre of the new online spaces that will surely further shape us into an unknown future.
Phase change material technology can enhance protective garments and create energy-efficient buildings. This book reveals key design requirements for the first time, providing guidance, tools, and testing procedures for designers, engineers, and researchers.
Safety Management for the City Gas Industry
City gas provides great convenience but also poses dangers. This book discusses safety issues from a management perspective, sorting out important Chinese laws and summarising practices and experiences to benefit professionals across the globe.
Searching for Sustainable Development and Its Purpose
This book provides a synthesis of sustainable development, detailing the “big picture” of the human story and our influence on the environment. A future-oriented study, it maps the potential opportunities and threats associated with our development.
Broadening Horizons
‘Broadening Horizons’ presents multidisciplinary approaches to landscape research in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Highlighting diverse methods, it provides a significant contribution for specialists and beginning researchers alike.
These essays reflect the recent advances in preparation, properties and applications of polyanilines and functionalised polyanilines. They provide a unique opportunity for readers to explore new and exciting research on these topics.
The Future of Post-Human Organization
This book challenges the obsessive craze for organizational performance, exploring its dark sides. It provides an alternative way to understand organizations—in relation to communication, decision-making, and leadership—to radically change how we think.
This book proposes a new methodology for underwater archaeology using low-budget digital tech. Discover novel collection methods for volunteer divers to create stunning 2D/3D models and a Virtual Reality museum, promoting archaeology in an age where visualization matters.
At the intersection of material science and manufacturing, this book details the incremental forming of aluminum alloy. Based on extensive research, it combines theoretical simulations with experimental findings, leading to unique results with significant impact.
This book highlights friccohesity chemistry: the cohesive and adhesive forces in nanoformulations. It shows how this chemistry overcomes the quantum energy barrier to homogenize, encapsulate, and create kinetically balanced nanoemulsions.
MIMED Forum IV
This book explores the vital debate on flexibility in architectural education. As globalization risks making curricula uniform, a critical question arises: If the discipline’s autonomous nature resists, how will this occur and what will the impact be?
An accessible guide to organic coatings, this book explains the chemical reactions and mechanisms of film formation. Examples and exercises provide technical insights and a deep understanding of the principles, while demonstrating how to use rheology to solve technical problems.
10th Anniversary of Sentinel Asia
This book provides a case study of Sentinel Asia, a collaboration applying satellite remote sensing to assist disaster management. It details its history, framework, and achievements in supporting over 450 disasters, offering a useful example for international disaster response.
Forensic Explosion Seismology
This book discusses active source seismology, focusing on the technologies and applications for underwater, nuclear, and chemical explosions. It presents seismological investigations for discriminating between earthquakes and man-made explosions for defense sciences.
