This book is intended for artists who are looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of materials and the wide range of available media. It will teach them about the characteristics of these media and materials and how to use them to get the required effect.

The book covers topics ranging from basic to advanced, focuses on currently acceptable practices and modern techniques, and illuminates key concepts with realistic case histories drawn from decades of working on petroleum reservoirs worldwide.

Authors reconstruct the travel and transmission of knowledge that took place between the Near East, the Mediterranean and Europe. They explore how religious, political and social conceptions of Bronze Age people were informed by long-distance connections and alliances between local elites.

This is an introduction to the spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. The book examines electronic band spectra and polyatomic rotations, which makes accessible the energy levels and selection rules that govern microwave spectroscopy without recourse to detailed rotational eigenstates, and covers triatomic molecules, aromatic hydrocarbons, lasers, multiphoton spectroscopies, and diagrammatic perturbation techniques.

This book introduces readers to the latest advances of electronic (or digital) holography and succinctly covers the necessary mathematical background and wave optics that pertain to Fourier optics and holography. The reader is guided through modeling of the theory and applications utilizing MATLAB®. Optical scanning holography is explained in a manner that enables readers to begin implementing their own setups for novel OSH applications. The book has been written by one of the leading researchers in the field and covers the basic principles of the topic which will make the book relevant for years to come.

This text is an excellent introduction to the wide-ranging uses of modern flow control. This text presents the current state of the art in emerging modern flow control technologies and highlights the application of these technologies to aerospace platforms.

Describes progress in the field of chaos, stability, and instability of semiconductor lasers. This book discusses applications and their prospects in detail. It emphasizes the various dynamics induced in semiconductor lasers by optical and electronic feedback, optical injection, and injection current modulation.

The primary goal of this book is to introduce the reader to the processes and concepts needed to develop shared earth models. This book is suitable for geoscientists and engineers with an interest in shared earth modeling, and professionals working in multidisciplinary asset management teams.

This issue includes new material on the symmetric properties of extended arrays (crystals), projection operators, LCAO molecular orbitals, and electron counting rules.

The book presents a fair and balanced description of dynamics problems and formulations. From the classical methods to the newer techniques used in today's complex and multibody environments, this text shows how those approaches complement each other.

This is a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory. It can also be used as an introduction to the subject. The character of a textbook is balanced with the dynamic nature of the research in the field by including many useful references to develop a deeper understanding among interested readers.

This volume examines Axiomatic Fuzzy Sets (AFS), in which fuzzy sets and probability are treated in a unified and coherent fashion. It presents AFS as a rigorous mathematical theory as well as a flexible methodology for the development of intelligent systems.
