Nova Science Publishers Inc New Nonlinear Optical Materials: Theoretical
Book SynopsisOptical materials with large values of non-linear susceptibilities and fast responses are in great demand in industrial applications, such as non-linear optical switching devices for use in photonics and real-time coherent optical signal processors, optical limiters, and so on. In general, many applications of non-linear optics that have been demonstrated under controlled laboratory conditions could become practical for technological uses if such materials were available. It is usually believed that an effective enhanced non-linear optical response can appear in a composite material in which at least one component should possess an inherent non-linear optical response. Thus, the common way to develop new non-linear optical materials is to seek materials in which the components possess an inherently large non-linear optical response. In contrast, the author has theoretically exploited some new non-linear optical materials, e.g., colloidal nanocrystals with strong lattice effects, metallic films with inhomogeneous microstructures adjusted by ion doping or temperature gradient, composites of graded (and/or shape-anisotropic) nanoparticles, etc. The proposed materials are difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional, naturally occurring materials or random composites widely discussed in the literature. This book presents a first-hand review of the latest developments in this field.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Quantization Methods in the Theory of
Book SynopsisThis volume presents a systematic and mathematically rigorous exposition of methods for studying linear partial differential equations. It focuses on quantization of the corresponding objects (states, observables and canonical transformations) in the phase space. The quantization of all three types of classical objects is carried out in a unified way with the use of a special integral transform. This book covers recent as well as established results, treated within the framework of a universal approach. It also includes applications and provides a useful reference text for graduate and research-level readers.Table of ContentsSemiclassical Quantization. Quantization and Microlocalization. Quantization by the Wave Packet Transform. Maslov's Canonical Operator and Hormander's Oscillatory Integrals. Topological Aspects of Quantization Conditions. The Schrodinger Equation. The Maxwell Equations. Equations with Trapping Hamiltonians. Quantization by the Method of Ordered Operators (Noncommutative Analysis). Noncommutative Analysis: Main Ideas, Definitions, and Theorems. Exactly Soluble Commutation Relations. Operator Algebras on Singular Manifolds. The High-Frequency Asymptotics in the Problem of Wave Propagation in Plasma. Appendices.

Whittles Publishing Durability of Materials and Structures in
Book SynopsisThis book discusses the durability of construction materials in the context of structures. Steel, concrete, timber, masonry, aluminium, plastics and composites are all dealt with. The state of the art is presented for each material and the effects of the environment on durability are covered, including the particular problems faced with, for example, underground structures, and structures in marine and tropical environments. Where appropriate, authors assess properties of materials before considering the performance of structures. Each chapter is augmented by numerous examples illustrating the durability of elements in a structure, the performance of materials, and any problems encountered with durability. How these problems are overcome and improvement of durability is discussed as appropriate. The chapters are written by an international team of authors, resulting in a wide spread of information, drawing upon vast cumulative experience and illustrated by many real examples. In addition, a diverse array of climates is considered, making this a comprehensive volume containing much vital information for engineers and materials technologists.Further an introduction is given to organisations involved in creating national and international standards and the important legal aspects of durability and related issues are also presented. The book is very heavily illustrated with line drawings and graphs, photographs of specific examples and also materials under test and after forensic testing. This enables the reader to fully appreciate the topic of durability and how it interleaves with forensic engineering.Table of ContentsThe durability of concrete structures - the state of the art; The durability of concrete structures in the tropics; The design of concrete structures to increase durability; The durability of concrete structures in the marine environment; The durability of steel structures in different environments; The durability of aluminium structures; The durability of masonry construction; The durability of masonry in aggressive environments and techniques for its conservation and protection; The durability of masonry, mortar, stone and ancillary components; The durability of brickwork and blockwork; The durability of timber in construction; The durability of FRP composites for civil infrastructure; Fibre reinforced composites in the building and the construction industry; The durability of underground structural steel structures; Durability and the Standard and Code making bodies; The legal aspects of durability. Index Readership: practitioners, academics and students in civil and structural engineering, construction and materials technology, architecture and surveying and related subjects will benefit from the vast array of material.

Peeters Publishers Chinese Reflexives
Book SynopsisThis book presents the Chinese reflexivisation system, investigating the different types of Chinese reflexive constructions and offering an analysis of these, in an attempt to integrate syntactic, morphological and discourse-related aspects of the phenomena. In Chinese, two distinct types of reflexive have been widely discussed in the literature: simplex reflexive ziji "self", which is a long-distance reflexive, and complex reflexive pronoun + ziji, such as taziji "himself", which must be locally bound. In addition, Chinese has a kind of double reflexive construction, such as ziji-benshen, and reflexive clitics zi "self" and ziwo "self". This book argues that reflexive clitics must be locally bound; and that under certain conditions, both simplex reflexive ziji and complex reflexives can be locally bound, long-distance bound, or even free in an entire sentence. This study proposes that every type of reflexive has two structures: one is an anaphoric structure, while the other is a logophoric structure. When a verb assigns an anaphoric theta role, the reflexive can have the anaphoric structure and the head of the reflexive NP is allowed to adjoin the head of the VP at LF. If a reflexive cannot receive an anaphoric theta role, it can have a logophoric structure. In the logophoric structure, the head of the reflexive DP must be a pro in order to receive the disjoint theta role from the verb.
