Abstract:

The monograph deals with the formation of corrosion- and wear-resistant high-strength protective coatings of metal products by the method of thermal diffusion of metals in an electromagnetic field. Special attention is paid to the physical nature of electromagnetic forces in AC inductors and the quantitative assessment of the effect of these forces on the deformation of the crystal lattice of the protected metal and the rate of diffusion of the applied ingredients into the metal. The results of an experimental study of the processes of thermal diffusion and hardening of metals in an alternatin

Abstract:

In this chapter we address the optical properties of microcavities in the weak-coupling regime and review the emission of light from microcavities in the linear regime. We present a derivation of the Purcell effect and stimulated emission of radiation by microcavities, and consider how this develops towards lasing. Finally, we briefly consider nonlinear properties of weakly coupled semiconductor microcavities. The functionality of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is also described.

Abstract:

To many, the idea that light can be used to hold and manipulate matter is probably quite foreign. The photon is a seemingly evanescent particle; its interactions with matter are weak. But while it has no rest mass, a photon carries momentum. Optical traps have become important tools used to measure forces on nanometer to micrometer length scale. Laser tweezers can be used to drive (or hold) microrheological probes. Optical trapping forces are reviewed and optical trap designs discussed, incluing the use of fixed and moving reference frame optical traps. Proper calibration of optical traps espe

Abstract:

Shirts, Shifts and Sheets of Fine Linen explores how the jobs of the ‘seamstress’ evolved in scope, and status, between 1600-1900. In the 17th and early 18th centuries, seamstressing was a trade for women who worked in linen and cotton, making men’s shirts, women’s chemises, underwear and baby linen; some of these seamstresses were consummate craftswomen, able to sew with stitches almost invisible to the naked eye. Few examples of their work survive, but those that do attest their skill. They took apprentices and generally made a good living by the standards of their time. However, as the read

Abstract:

Abstract The object of this book is to develop an approach to the large-sample analysis of fractional partial-sum processes, featuring long memory increments. Long memory in a time series, equivalently called strong dependence, is deﬁned to mean that the autocovariance sequence is nonsummable. The processes studied have a linear moving average representation with a single parameter, denoted $d$, to measure the degree of long-run persistence. Long memory means that $d \gt 0$, while $d \lt 0$ deﬁnes a special type of short memory known as antipersistence. Antipersistent processes are treated in

The IMF uses crisis-defining economic ideas, and crisis legacy-defining ideas, to construct interpretations of economic crises in ways which prioritize particular policy or institutional responses, and rule out or marginalize others. The post-crash IMF enjoyed scope to shift the boundaries of ‘legitimate’ policy, involving heightened appreciation of ‘non-linear’ threats from losses of confidence, prolonged weak demand, and financial system fragilities and contagion. The policy corollaries of this Fund rethink were that economic stability has to be actively pursued through a wider range of poli

Abstract:

If the core idea of process theories of causation is that causation can be understood in terms of causal processes and interactions, then the approach should be attributed primarily to Wesley Salmon (1925–2001). Salmon takes causal processes and interactions as more fundamental than causal relations between events. To express this Salmon liked to quote John Venn: ‘Substitute for the time honoured “chain of causation”, so often introduced into discussions upon this subject, the phrase a “rope of causation”, and see what a very different aspect the question will wear’.

According to first-generation plate tectonics, sea-floor spreading was nice and simple. Plates were pulled apart at mid-ocean ridges, and weak mantle rocks rose to fill the gap and began to melt. The resulting basaltic magma ascended into the crust, where it ponded to form linear ‘infinite onion’ magma chambers beneath the mid-ocean tennis-ball seam. At frequent intervals, vertical sheets of magma rose from these chambers to the surface, where they erupted to form new ocean floor or solidified to form dykes, in the process acquiring a magnetization corresponding to the geomagnetic field at the

This chapter develops a “semi-Aristotelian” account of a one-dimensional continuum. Unlike Aristotle, it makes significant use of actual infinity, in line with current practice. Like Aristotle, this account does not recognize points, at least not as parts of regions in the space. The formal background is classical mereology together with a weak set theory. The chapter proves an Archimedean property, and establishes an isomorphism with the Dedekind–Cantor structure of the real line. It also compares the present framework to other point-free accounts, establishing consistency relative to classic

In Newtonian theory, the planet trajectories are then Keplerian ellipses. Relativistic effects are weak because the dimensionless ratio characterizing them is everywhere less than GM⊙/c² R⊙≃ 2 × 10–6, and so they can be added linearly to the Newtonian perturbations due to the other planets, the non-spherical shape of celestial bodies, and so on.

Contra the strong statistical correlation between country size and democracy, we challenge the age-old demographic claim that ‘small is beautiful’. Small-sized states have highly personalized politics, and therefore accusations of nepotism and political patronage are ubiquitous.

The archaisms of melodic line, part-writing, harmonisation and orchestration in Mahler’s song are at least partly inspired by the direct historicism of Offenbach’s fake pastoral. Irony also has a crucial role in the rhetoric strategies of both works. Jean Paul’s definition of humour as ‘the inverted sublime’ can just as well be applied to Offenbach’s parody of a myth as
