Addressing every stage of the laser fabrication process, this thesis demonstrates how key performance characteristics of three discrete types of semiconductor lasers can be customized using clever nanostructure design and epitaxial growth techniques.

This application-driven primer for students and non-specialists has been course-tested at graduate level and explains how to use the spectral method to tackle the issues encountered in modeling fluid flow in closed geometries with heat or mass transfer.

With a pedagogic format ideal for graduate students, this text includes a wealth of examples focusing on solutions in dynamical systems theory that mirror those used in Lyapunov's first method, tackling ordinary differential equations expressed as series form.

This book shows how a combination of techniques such as a time dependent and finite temperature Density Matrix Renormalization Group technique, can be used to obtain the physical properties of low dimensional quantum magnets with unprecedented accuracy.

This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the time-domain finite element methods for Maxwell's equations involving metamaterials, focusing on practical implementation of edge finite element methods for metamaterial Maxwell's equations.

Essential reading for engineers and researchers following developments in this new range of steels, the book explores their properties and applications to the scale of electronic components, and thus has special appeal to physicists and materials scientists.

Cosmic rays consist of elementary particles with enormous energy which originate from outside our solar system and constantly hit the Earth's atmosphere. Digital radio-antenna arrays offer a promising, complementary measurement method for high-energy cosmic rays.

The up-to-date material and logical structure of this volume provides the clarity and orientation needed to gain a solid working knowledge of mathematical risk analysis. It includes a specialized focus on the risk theory deployed in finance and insurance.

Stochastic knowledge is generated from past request information by a new forecasting approach and is used in the pro-active approach to guide vehicles to request-likely areas before real requests arrive there.

This book examines 'energy coupling membranes' of intracellular organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, and the function of mitochondria as generators of reactive oxygen species that mediate the programmed death of cells, a key mechanism of aging.

Economic theory and empirical research confirm that the rising international integration caused an increase in aggregate income at least for the industrialized countries, although trade liberalization is no Pareto improvement.

This book offers an introduction to viscoelasticity; in particular, to the theories of dilute polymer solutions and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. Includes a new chapter on Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD).

The first full study of minimal extracorporeal circulation systems, this volume unifies a dispersed literature, with dedicated chapters for surgeons, anesthetists, and perfusionists, a systematic review of published studies, and a wealth of practical advice.

Embedding the theoretical discussion on the framework of evolutionary regional innovation systems (RIS), this book reveals the informal nature of the emerging RIS in China, within which interactive learning is organized on the basis of social networks.

It is published twice a year and presents ongoing result from the "China Quarterly Macroeconomic Model (CQMM)," a research project at the Center for Macroeconomic Research (CMR) at Xiamen University.

Andre Weil's mathematical work has deeply influenced the mathematics of the twentieth century. Part of a three-volume set, this work collects his papers in chronological order and includes lengthy commentaries on many of the articles written by Weil himself.

Focusing on issues of when and how Archean crust in the craton was formed, this PhD thesis book presents major research outcomes of field based metamorphic, geochemical and geochronological investigations on Meso-Neoarchean basement rocks from Shandong Province in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton.
