Anderson Localization and Its Ramifications
The phenomenon of localization of the electronic wave function in a random medium can be regarded as the key manifestation of quantum coherence in a condensed matter system. As one of the most remarkable phenomena in condensed matter physics discovered in the 20th century, the localization problem is an indispensable part of the theory of the quantum Hall effects and rivals superconductivity in its significance as a manifestation of quantum coherence at a macroscopic scale. The present volume, written by some of the leading experts in the field, is intended to highlight some of the recent progress in the field of localization, with particular emphasis on the effect of interactions on quantum coherence. The chapters are written in textbook style and should serve as a reliable and thorough introduction for advanced students or researchers already working in the field of mesoscopic physics.
Nicotine Addiction
Despite persistent warnings from the medical profession about the health risks involved in cigarette smoking, millions of people continue to smoke cigarettes. With contributions from renowned experts, this ground-breaking work defines and explains nicotine addiction as a primary problem or disease, instead of as a habit or risk factor for other diseases. A comprehensive, clinical text on tobacco dependence, this book provides clinicians with essential information on how to diagnose and treat nicotine addicted patients. It also offers the medical, epidemiological and behavioral science backgrounds necessary for understanding the process and dynamics of tobacco dependence. Following the tradit...
A New Pronouncing Dictionary of the Russian and English Languages, Volume 2, Russian to English
A Russian-English dictionary of uncertain vintage "containing the whole vocabulary in general use with copious selections of scientific, technical and commercial terms and others lately brought into use with their pronunciation figured."
Topic Continuity in Discourse
The functional notion of “topic” or “topicality” has suffered, traditionally, from two distinct drawbacks. First, it has remained largely ill defined or intuitively defined. And second, quite often its definition boiled down to structure-dependent circularity. This volume represents a major departure from past practices, without rejecting both their intuitive appeal and the many good results yielded by them. First, “topic” and “topicality” are re-analyzed as a scalar property, rather than as an either/or discrete prime. Second, the graded property of “topicality” is firmly connected with sensible cognitive notions culled from gestalt psychology, such as “predictability...
Electromagnetic Metamaterials and Metasurfaces
The subject of this book is the fast-developing area of research known as metamaterials/metasurfaces and some of their engineering applications. This book comprehensively presents the state of the art of metamaterials/metasurfaces from theory to applications. The theoretical side includes electrodynamics of left-handed medium, generalized Snell's law, digital coding metamaterials/metasurfaces, group theory of metamaterials, information metamaterials and metasurfaces, etc. On the application side, a wide range of design examples are discussed, including metamaterial antennas, electromagnetic interference, frequency selective surfaces, wireless power transmission and energy harvesting, cloaking and radar cross section reduction, orbital angular momentum, wireless communication, imaging, etc. The book provides researchers, engineers, and graduate students with a variety of new discoveries, results, information, and knowledge in the field of metamaterials and metasurfaces.
