Landscapes of My Mind
Ari Sihvola: Landscapes of my mind - images of working life, of life. "Landscapes of my mind" refers to the images Ari Sihvola has had of working life and life in general. The book aims to reach out to people who have lived in the same decades as him and who have worked in organisational and human resource development. Similarly, Ari hopes the book will appeal to people who are examining themselves to find the key to personal growth. A key that Ari has also been trying to find. The book consists of four parts, which have little to do with each other. In fact, there is no coherent plot. The only thing that connects the parts is the author. Of course, the book can be considered a collection of essays. Admittedly, Ari has not realised that he has written essays.
Mostly Uphill, Smiley
Ari Sihvola (born 1951) began his career at the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs as a young civil servant in the 1970s. Over the years, Ari has played a key role in the development of public governance and the development of the skills of civil servants, especially in EU affairs and leadership. In addition to Finland and the European Commission, Ari's expertise has been brought to bear in many demanding international projects in four continents. Known for his anecdotes and colourful true stories, Ari looks at governance with an analytically critical yet gentle, understanding approach. As a teenager, Ari did not think of working, as an adult, for the Foreign Ministry or becoming a manager of international development projects. The desire to grow guided his choices. Ari believes that we have a desire to constantly improve ourselves and our skills. "An impressive tale, nicely written. Sihvola's personality shines through." - Willian Peskett
Electromagnetic Mixing Formulas and Applications
This book covers the homogenization principles and mixing rules for determining the macroscopic dielectric and magnetic properties of different types of media. Sihvola (electromagnetics, Helsinki U. of Technology, Finland) discusses subjects such as the characteristic differences between a mixture and its parts, and ways that mixing results are applied to different materials in geophysics and biology.

Programmable Matter
What Is Programmable Matter Programmable matter is matter which has the ability to change its physical properties in a programmable fashion, based upon user input or autonomous sensing. Programmable matter is thus linked to the concept of a material which inherently has the ability to perform information processing. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Programmable matter Chapter 2: Metamaterial Chapter 3: Electropermanent magnet Chapter 4: Self-reconfiguring modular robot Chapter 5: Claytronics Chapter 6: Cellular automaton Chapter 7: Quantum well Chapter 8: Synthetic biology (II) Answering the public top questions about programmable matter. (III) Real world examples for the usage of programmable matter in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of programmable matter' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of programmable matter.

Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory
Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory Understand the theory and function of wireless antennas with this comprehensive guide As wireless technology continues to develop, understanding of antenna properties and performance will only become more critical. Since antennas can be understood as junctions of waveguides, eigenmode analysis—the foundation of waveguide theory, concerned with the unexcited states of systems and their natural resonant characteristics—promises to be a crucial frontier in the study of antenna theory. Foundations of Antenna Radiation Theory incorporates the modal analysis, generic antenna properties and design methods discovered or developed in the last few decades, n...
Thermal Microwave Radiation
Combines theoretical concepts with experimental results on thermal microwave radiation to increase the understanding of the complex nature of terrestrial media. Emphasising on radiative transfer models, this book covers the terrestrial aspects, from clear to cloudy atmosphere, precipitation, ocean and land surfaces, vegetation, snow and ice.
Theory and Phenomena of Metamaterials
Theory and Phenomena of Metamaterials offers an in-depth look at the theoretical background and basic properties of electromagnetic artificial materials, often called metamaterials. A volume in the Metamaterials Handbook, this book provides a comprehensive guide to working with metamaterials using topics presented in a concise review format along with numerous references. With contributions from leading researchers, this text covers all areas where artificial materials have been developed. Each chapter in the text features a concluding summary as well as various cross references to address a wide range of disciplines in a single volume.
The Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio examines the presence of this divine number in art and architecture throughout history, as well as its ubiquity among plants, animals, and even the cosmos. This gorgeous book—with layflat dimensions that closely approximate the golden ratio—features clear, enlightening, and entertaining commentary alongside stunning full-color illustrations by Venezuelan artist and architect Rafael Araujo. From the pyramids of Giza, to quasicrystals, to the proportions of the human face, the golden ratio has an infinite capacity to generate shapes with exquisite properties. This book invites you to take a new look at this timeless topic, with a compilation of research and information wor...
Introduction to Microfabrication
Microfabrication is the key technology behind integrated circuits,microsensors, photonic crystals, ink jet printers, solar cells andflat panel displays. Microsystems can be complex, but the basicmicrostructures and processes of microfabrication are fairlysimple. Introduction to Microfabrication shows how the commonmicrofabrication concepts can be applied over and over again tocreate devices with a wide variety of structures andfunctions. Featuring: * A comprehensive presentation of basic fabrication processes * An emphasis on materials and microstructures, rather than devicephysics * In-depth discussion on process integration showing how processes,materials and devices interact * A wealth of...
