This book provides readers with a detailed overview of second- and
third-order nonlinearities in various nanostructures, as well as
their potential applications. Interest in the field of nonlinear
optics has grown exponentially in recent years and, as a result,
there is increasing research on novel nonlinear phenomena and the
development of nonlinear photonic devices. Thus, such a book serves
as a comprehensive guide for researchers in the field and those
seeking to become familiar with it. This text focuses on the
nonlinear properties of nanostructured systems that arise as a
result of optical wave mixing. The authors present a review of
nonlinear optical processes on the nanoscale and provide
theoretical descriptions for second and third-order optical
nonlinearities in nanostructures such as carbon allotropes,
metallic nanostructures, semiconductors, nanocrystals, and complex
geometries. Here, the characterization and potential applications
of these nanomaterials are also discussed. The factors that
determine the nonlinear susceptibility in these systems are
identified as well as the influence of physical mechanisms emerging
from resonance and off-resonance excitations. In addition, the
authors detail the effects driven by important phenomena such as
quantum confinement, localized surface plasmon resonance, Fano
resonances, bound states, and the Purcell effect on specific
nanostructured systems. Readers are provided with a groundwork for
future research as well as new perspectives in this growing field.
In dialogues with eleven key thinkers in the area of critical education, Education, Power, and Personal Biography documents how a tradition of study grew in the United States. Through in-depth interviews, Carlos Alberto Torres asks each of these thinkers to talk about the relationship between their personal experiences and their academic work. The reader will learn, through listening to these intellectual, political and personal biographies, how and why these individual scholars have struggled for more than three decades to expand the borders of critical education studies. Interviews are held with Henry Giroux, Henry Levin, Herbert Gintis, Jeannie Oakes, Martin Carnoy, Maxine Greene, Michael Apple, Samuel Bowles, Paulo Freire, Gloria Lanson-Billings and Geoff Whitty, among others.
Series Information: Critical Social Thought
AWKWARD: The Social Dos and Don'ts of Being a Young Adult breaks
down family, friends, work, and community social situations to help
provide tips on socially acceptable behavior in everyday
situations. Each situation includes examples of dos and don'ts to
target different perspectives and learning styles. The "do" section
is intended to teach specific actions that can be performed to help
a situation go well, and the "don't" section is intended to help
teach people which actions to avoid in order to prevent awkward or
unpleasant interactions.
Autism and depression are very commonly diagnosed together in young
adults. This book is for them. Katie Saint and Carlos Torres,
authors of Awkward: The Social Dos and Don'ts, have created another
user-friendly resource by combining the issues and needs of young
adults with both Autism and Depression into one workbook. Autism
and Depression uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to
target emotional regulation skills, perspective-taking, acceptance,
independent goal setting, and skill-building related to symptoms
associated with depression. This book can be used individually or
with a trusted therapist or friend.
Modeling of Resistivity and Acoustic Borehole Logging Measurements
Using Finite Element Methods provides a comprehensive review of
different resistivity and sonic logging instruments used within the
oil industry, along with precise and solid mathematical
descriptions of the physical equations and corresponding FE
formulations that govern these measurements. Additionally, the book
emphasizes the main modeling considerations that one needs to
incorporate into the simulations in order to obtain reliable and
accurate results. Essentially, the formulations and methods
described here can also be applied to simulate on-surface
geophysical measurements such as seismic or marine
controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) measurements. Simulation
results obtained using FE methods are superior. FE methods employ a
mathematical terminology based on FE spaces that facilitate the
design of sophisticated formulations and implementations according
to the specifics of each problem. This mathematical FE framework
provides a highly accurate, robust, and flexible unified
environment for the solution of multi-physics problems. Thus,
readers will benefit from this resource by learning how to make a
variety of logging simulations using a unified FE framework.
