Portia Doubleday and Marc-André Grondin star in this romantic
comedy directed by Sean Garrity. Kate (Doubleday) dreams of being a
designer for a top fashion house, but her father's reputation for
ripping off the houses she wants to work for makes getting a job
near impossible. When she agrees to work for the family business
she decides to disguise herself as a top male designer in order to
expose the company for the frauds that they really are. The cast
also includes Chris Noth, Lauren Holly and Natalie Krill.
For years scientists turned to the CRC Handbook of Laser Science & Technology for reliable data on optical materials. Out of print for several years, that standard-setting work now has a successor: the Handbook of Optical Materials.
This new handbook is an authoritative compilation of the physical properties of materials used in all types of lasers and optical systems. In it, scientist, author, and editor Dr. Marvin J. Weber provides extensive data tabulations and references for the most important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases. The properties detailed include both linear and nonlinear optical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties together with many additional special properties, such as electro-, magneto-, and elasto-optic properties.
Using a minimum of narration and logically organized by material properties, the handbook's unique presentation simplifies the process of comparing different materials for their suitability in particular applications. Appendices furnish a wealth of other useful information, including lists of the many abbreviations and acronyms that proliferate in this field. The Handbook of Optical Materials is simply the most complete one-stop source available for materials data essential to lasers and optical systems.
This straightforward text examines the scientific principles,
characterization techniques, and fabrication methods used to design
and produce high quality optical fibers. Polymer Fiber Optics:
Materials, Physics, and Applications focuses on the fundamental
concepts that will continue to play a role in future research and
applications. This book documents the underlying physics of polymer
fibers, particularly aspects of light interaction, and details the
practical considerations for a broad range of characterization
techniques used to investigate new phenomena. The book presents
basic fabrication techniques and protocols that will likely remain
useful as new advances address specific processing challenges. The
author presents a fresh approach to standard derivations, using
numerous figures and diagrams to break down complex concepts and
illustrate theoretical calculations. The final chapters draw
attention to the latest directions in research and novel
applications, including photomechanical actuation, electro-optic
fibers, and smart materials.

The richness of nonlinear optics is infinite compared with the tiny
organelle we call classical electromagnetism. If classical
electromagnetism were an elementary particle, nonlinear optics
would spill beyond the multiverse. If you are interested in
learning about this fascinating field, the best teachers are those
that can anticipate your questions and make clear those topics that
are naturally confusing. What better teacher than a collection of
students who have just recently mastered the material and who are
fully aware of the struggles they had to overcome to get there?
This informal textbook on nonlinear optics is a compilation of
materials written by students who attended lectures by the
award-winning teacher and researcher Regents Professor Mark G.
Kuzyk of Washington State University. Material not normally
discussed in standard textbooks covered here includes the
introduction of second quantization and how it can be applied to
Feynman-like diagrams for calculating nonlinear susceptibilities.
This approach provides a pictorial representation of light-matter
interactions that leads to a better and more intuitive
understanding of phenomena such as difference frequency generation
and nonlinear stimulated emission. Also included are unique problem
sets that are not typically assigned in a course on nonlinear
optics. This book may be a bit rough around the edges, and this may
appear a bit quaint, but it gets the point across to novice
students in a language they understand, and at a price that can't
be beat.
This book presents several novel approaches for autonomous mobile
ad hoc network (MANET) nodes to distribute themselves uniformly
over a dynamically changing environment without a centralized
controller or a priori information about the deployment terrain or
the state of other mobile agents. Introduced methods combine
concepts from traditional game theory (GT), evolutionary GT, and
bio-inspired algorithms to effectively and efficiently guide
autonomous MANET nodes in finding the best positions. We show that
myopic actions of each individual node lead the entire network
towards a stable and uniform distribution. We present formal
analysis of our methods, and prove their important properties
including convergence, area coverage, and uniformity
characteristics.

A modern user's guide to the Argus A/A2 camera. Everything you
wanted to know about the Argus A-style camera but were afraid to
ask! That includes the Argus A, AF, A2, A2B, A2F, AA, and FA. This
book includes information on the camera's history, models,
accessories, instructions for use, and repair. The book also has a
section on modifications, conversions (pinhole, etc.) and special
effects with the Argus A.
Le present ouvrage regroupe des articles issus de deux
manifestations qui ont eu lieu en 2014 dans la Region
metropolitaine trinationale du Rhin superieur : le colloque "
Eurographics 2014 - Immersion pour l'apprentissage et l'education "
et l'atelier de recherche franco-allemand " L'apprentissage
mediatise des langues dans la region transfrontaliere du Rhin
superieur : etat des lieux et perspectives ". Les articles y
rendent compte de la diversite des outils technologiques utilises
pour l'apprentissage en general, et plus specifiquement celui des
langues. Les auteurs presentent les potentialites de ces
technologies, par exemple, celles du Tableau Blanc Interactif, des
plateformes d'apprentissage ou encore de la realite virtuelle qui
plonge l'apprenant dans un monde entierement cree par ordinateur.
Les activites d'apprentissage informel en ligne, telles que le
visionnage des series televisees, y sont egalement abordees. Les
contributions recueillies interrogent l'adaptation technique et
surtout les apports de ces outils pour l'apprentissage en general
et pour l'acquisition des langues en particulier.
