Time Domain Methods in Electrodynamics
This book consists of contributions given in honor of Wolfgang J.R. Hoefer. Space and time discretizing time domain methods for electromagnetic full-wave simulation have emerged as key numerical methods in computational electromagnetics. Time domain methods are versatile and can be applied to the solution of a wide range of electromagnetic field problems. Computing the response of an electromagnetic structure to an impulsive excitation localized in space and time provides a comprehensive characterization of the electromagnetic properties of the structure in a wide frequency range. The most important methods are the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) and the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) methods. The contributions represent the state of the art in dealing with time domain methods in modern engineering electrodynamics for electromagnetic modeling in general, the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method, the application of network concepts to electromagnetic field modeling, circuit and system applications and, finally, with broadband devices, systems and measurement techniques.

How Muftis Think
In How Muftis Think Lena Larsen explores fatwas that respond to questions asked by Muslim women in Western Europe in recent decades. The questions show women to be torn between two opposing notions of morality and norms: one stressing women’s duties and obedience, and one stressing women’s rights and equality before the law. Focusing on muftis who see “the time and place” as important considerations in fatwa-giving, and seek to develop a local European Islamic jurisprudence on these increasingly controversial issues, Larsen examines how they deal with women’s dilemmas. Careful not to suggest easy answers or happy endings, her discussion still holds out hope that European societies and Muslim minorities can recognize shared moral concerns.
The Making of the Arab Intellectual
In the wake of the Ottoman Empire’s nineteenth-century reforms, as guilds waned and new professions emerged, the scholarly ‘estate’ underwent social differentiation. Some found employment in the state’s new institutions as translators, teachers and editors, whilst others resisted civil servant status. Gradually, the scholar morphed into the public writer. Despite his fledgling status, he catered for the public interest all the more so since new professionals such as doctors, engineers and lawyers endorsed this latest social role as an integral part of their own self-image. This dual preoccupation with self-definition and all things public is the central concern of this book. Focusing...
Anguished Hope
Speaking from their respective disciplines in the humanities, theology, and education, thirteen Holocaust scholars -- both Jewish and Christian -- candidly address the challenges, risks, and possibilities embedded in the discouraging, long-lasting Palestinian-Israeli conflict. They also sharply critique the use of Holocaust terminology or imagery by the modern-day combatants -- on either side -- as trivialization of a unique and devastating event. Anguished Hope casts a powerful vision for a more peaceful future in the Middle East.Contributors: Rachel N. Baum David Blumenthal Margaret Brearley Britta Frede-Wenger Myrna Goldenberg Peter J.

Clinical Cases in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases E-Book
The book compiles important clinical cases in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases for students and specialists concerning prevalent types of infections and their management. Contributors involved are well known locally, regionally and internationally. The book is designed to address undergraduate med students (Med I and Med II mainly). It serves as a reference for Med III and MED IV students, since it sheds light on a variety of infectious diseases tackling different types of microorganisms. All books currently available deal merely with medical microbiology in relation to Infectious diseases.
Dictionary of International Biography
A biographical record of contemporary achievement together with a key to the location of the original biographical notes.
Network Security
Many network security threats today are spread over the internet, making it imperative to monitor and prevent unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and other network-accessible resources. Many businesses have been securing themselves over the internet through firewalls and encryption mechanisms; however network security is now undergoing a transformational stage with the advent of cloud computing and rapid penetration of mobile devices. In this report, we have analyzed the technological landscape of this impactful technology from the perspective of Intellectual Property (Patents).
Modernity in Islamic Tradition
What does it mean to be modern? This study regards the concept of ‘society’ as foundational to modern self-understanding. Identifying Arabic conceptualizations of society in the journal al-Manar, the mouthpiece of Islamic reformism, the author shows how modernity was articulated from within an Islamic discursive tradition. The fact that the classical term umma was a principal term used to conceptualize modern society suggests the convergence of discursive traditions in modernity, rather than a mere diffusion of European concepts.
