This book highlights plasma science and technology-related research
and development work at institutes and universities networked
through Asian African Association for Plasma Training (AAAPT) which
was established in 1988. The AAAPT, with 52 member institutes in 24
countries, promotes the initiation and intensification of plasma
research and development through cooperation and technology
sharing. With 13 chapters on fusion-relevant, laboratory and
industrial plasmas for wide range of applications and basic
research and a chapter on AAAPT network, it demonstrates how, with
collaborations, high-quality, industrially relevant academic and
scientific research on fusion, industrial and laboratory plasmas
and plasma diagnostics can be successfully pursued in small
research labs. These plasma sciences and technologies include
pioneering breakthroughs and applications in (i) fusion relevant
research in the quest for long-term, clean energy source
development using high-temperature, high- density plasmas and (ii)
multibillion-dollar, low-temperature, non-equilibrium and thermal
industrial plasmas used in processing, synthesis and electronics.

All Americans, liberal or conservative, religious or not, can agree
that religious freedom, anchored in conscience rights, is
foundational to the U.S. democratic experiment. But what freedom of
conscience means, what its scope and limits are, according to the
Constitution - these are matters for heated debate. At a moment
when such questions loom ever larger in the nation's contentious
politics and fraught policy-making process, this timely book offers
invaluable historical, empirical, philosophical, and analytical
insight into the American constitutional heritage of religious
liberty. As the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume
attest, understanding religious freedom demands taking multiple
perspectives. The historians guide us through the legacy of
religious freedom, from the nation's founding and the rise of
public education, through the waves of immigration that added
successive layers of diversity to American society. The social
scientists discuss the swift, striking effects of judicial decision
making and the battles over free exercise in a complex,
bureaucratic society. Advocates remind us of the tensions abiding
in schools and other familiar institutions, and of the major role
minorities play in shaping free exercise under our constitutional
regime. And the jurists emphasize that this is a messy area of
constitutional law. Their work brings out the conflicts inherent in
interpreting the First Amendment - tensions between free exercise
and disestablishment, between the legislative and judicial branches
of government, and along the complex and ever-shifting boundaries
of religion, state, and society. What emerges most clearly from
these essays is how central religious liberty is to America's civic
fabric - and how, under increasing pressure from both religious and
secular forces, this First Amendment freedom demands our full
attention and understanding.
