Aimed at systems designers and microwave engineers, this book provides readers with a sound understanding of this evolving field and enables them to apply this technology to a wide range of systems.

Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals provides an account of the use and properties of a type of complex integral representation that arises frequently in the study of special functions typically of interest in classical analysis and mathematical physics. After developing the properties of these integrals, their use in determining the asymptotic behavior of special functions is detailed. Although such integrals have a long history, the book's account includes recent research results in analytic number theory and hyperasymptotics. The book also fills a gap in the literature on asymptotic analysis and special functions by providing a thorough account of the use of Mellin-Barnes integrals that is otherwise not available in standard references on asymptotics.

Dental restorative materials are specially fabricated materials, designed for use as dental restorations, which are used to restore tooth structure loss. This is usually resulting from, but is not limited to, dental caries. There are many challenges for the physical properties of the ideal dental restorative material, the properties of which can be divided into four categories: physical properties, biocompatibility, aesthetics and application. Chapters in this book include current research on today's materials and technologies in dental ceramics, biocompatibility of dental materials, and progress in bone and tissue regeneration. The need for simplified adhesive systems for the repair of small cavities in the primary teeth of children is also discussed in this book.
