Philip Blosser and Thomas Nenon The essays in the volume were assembled in honor of Lester Embree, who celebrated his 70th birthday on January 9, 2008. A preview of this volume was presented to Professor Embree at a reception sponsored by the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology that was held in his honor at the 2008 meeting of the Husserl Circle at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The title Advancing Phenomenology is purposely ambiguous. On the one hand, these essays document the progress that phenomenology as an ongoing and vibrant movement has made in the period of over a century since its inception. They ill- trate the advance of phenomenology both in terms of the r...

This completely updated and expanded second edition stands as a comprehensive knowledgebase on both the fundamentals and applications of this important materials processing method. The diverse, international team of contributing authors of this reference clarify in extensive detail properties and applications of sol-gel science and technology as it pertains to the production of substances, active and non-active, including optical, electronic, chemical, sensor, bio- and structural materials. Essential to a wide range of manufacturing industries, the compilation divides into the three complementary sections: Sol-Gel Processing, devoted to general aspects of processing and recently developed ma...
This 35th volume of the 'Studies' is devoted to the technologically important BSCCO system. It focuses on a host of topics such as the synthesis and fabrication of conductors, superconducting BSCCO magnets, and the basic technological properties of the material in relation to the microstructure. The authors are distinguished in the field, working in different parts of the world, maintaining the international character of the series.

Fully updated to include recent developments in the law of armed conflict, this volume interprets the rules governing the use of weapons, discusses the factors influencing developments in the law, and contextualizes the debate over the direction of weapons law.
Reflecting the growing volume of published work in this field, researchers will find this book an invaluable source of information on current methods and applications.
This book reviews techniques used to characterize non-linear optical constants of chalcogenide glasses in bulk or thin films, and presents the properties of many chalcogenide systems. A range of applications of these glasses are surveyed, including ultra-fast switching, optical limiting, second harmonic generation and electro-optic effects. Also addressed are suitability of chalcogenide films in all-optical integrated circuits, fabrication of rib as well as ridge waveguides and of fiber gratings.
Handbook of Thin Film Deposition, Fifth Edition, is a comprehensive reference focusing on thin film technologies and applications used in the semiconductor industry. When pursuing patents, there is a phase called 'reduction to practice' where the idea for a technology transitions from a concept to actual use. The section 'Thin Film Reduction to Practice' includes chapters that review the most relevant methods to fabricate thin films towards practical applications. Then, the latest applications of thin film deposition technologies are discussed. Handbook of Thin Film Deposition, 5th Edition is suitable for materials scientists and engineers in academia and working in semiconductor R&D. - Offers a practical survey of thin film technologies including design, fabrication, and reliability - Covers core processes and applications in the semiconductor industry and discusses latest advances in new thin film development - Features new chapters that review methods on front-end and back-end thin films
