Fundamentals and Applications of Nano Silicon in Plasmonics and Fullerines: Current and Future Trends addresses current and future trends in the application and commercialization of nanosilicon. The book presents current, innovative and prospective applications and products based on nanosilicon and their binary system in the fields of energy harvesting and storage, lighting (solar cells and nano-capacitor and fuel cell devices and nanoLEDs), electronics (nanotransistors and nanomemory, quantum computing, photodetectors for space applications; biomedicine (substance detection, plasmonic treatment of disease, skin and hair care, implantable glucose sensor, capsules for drug delivery and underground water and oil exploration), and art (glass and pottery). Moreover, the book includes material on the use of advanced laser and proximal probes for imaging and manipulation of nanoparticles and atoms. In addition, coverage is given to carbon and how it contrasts and integrates with silicon with additional related applications. This is a valuable resource to all those seeking to learn more about the commercialization of nanosilicon, and to researchers wanting to learn more about emerging nanosilicon applications.
This book highlights the conflict between jihadist militants and the West as essentially ideological in character. It has serious implications internalized by Muslim societies, with the boundaries of faith changed by the interplay of socio-political variables. Violence emerged in Muslim societies as a means of emancipation or identity when the state could not resolve the conflict situation. Although the militants were influenced by socio-political factors, they have always looked to religion to justify their acts of violence. This book, exposing the fallacy of the narrative evolved by the militants, offers a counter narrative. It reinterprets the primary sources, unravels the historical and socio-political constructs, unmasks the heroes and enemies, challenges the dichotomies between theory and practice, re-establishes the boundaries between heresy and faith, and attempts to transform the current ideological discourse. ~This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the discourse between religion and security, political Islam, Islamic history, jihad, Middle Eastern studies, and South Asian studies.

Integrated Silicon-Metal Systems at the Nanoscale: Applications in Photonics, Quantum Computing, Networking, and Internet is a comprehensive guide to the interaction, materials and functional integration at the nanoscale of the silicon-metal binary system and a variety of emerging and next-generation advanced device applications, from energy and electronics, to sensing, quantum computing and quantum internet networks. The book guides the readers through advanced techniques and etching processes, combining underlying principles, materials science, design, and operation of metal-Si nanodevices. Each chapter focuses on a specific use of integrated metal-silicon nanostructures, including storage and resistive next-generation nano memory and transistors, photo and molecular sensing, harvest and storage device electrodes, phosphor light converters, and hydrogen fuel cells, as well as future application areas, such as spin transistors, quantum computing, hybrid quantum devices, and quantum engineering, networking, and internet.
In this update of the 1998 Jusoor Books edition, Moughrabi (international relations, political psychology, and Middle East politics, U. of Tennessee, Chattanooga) presents 11 undated essays on Palestinian claims to the city of Jerusalem by scholars from Palestine, North America, and a Holocaust survivor who taught at Hebrew U. in Jerusalem. His int
The future is being stolen out from under the millennial generation. Baby boomers have much to answer for: a legacy of economic instability, poor job growth, and an environmental disregard. They have shattered the American Dream. A confession of an old Man is a statement of collective guilt that places the responsibility on the author's generation for dealing a bad card to their children.This is a call to action for the MI generation (defined as those born after 1980)-a generation with the most to lose if the United States continues with its current domestic and foreign policies. Millennials are paying the bills for their parents' neglect and they must have a say in their own future. A confession of an Old Man is also a call to those parents and grandparents who want to leave a better America for their children and grandchildren. The elections of 2018 and 2020 will be the most significant elections of this generation. The US House of Representative is filled with aging representatives (many of whom have held office for at least 20 years have become part of the permanent political class) who are out of touch with the priorities of the coming generation.Moon offers one of the best opportunities for making a change. At least 51 incumbent congresspersons are not seeking reelection in 2018-a record and the best opportunity for turnover in congress. We can effectuate change. Now is the time. Confessions of an Old Man challenge the MI Generation to take charge of their destiny or have the future decided by rich old white men in which case they will: * serve as an automated teller machine (ATM) for Congress to steal $8,000+ per year from each millennial for the rest of their lives versus saving that money for their retirement; * be sent to foreign lands to fight undeclared wars and potentially get killed or injured; * send their kids to schools while being unsure if they will come home safely; * not have the best health care they can afford; * have a society where not all human beings are equal; * not have a college degree because they can't afford the tuition; * not be able to buy a home because they cannot qualify for a mortgage; * possibly not be able to retire because they are too broke; * watch the deaths of 155,000 fellow Americans every year because of pollution; and * watch law-abiding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) kids torn away from their families. But there is another choice. Members of the MI generation can take charge of their destiny by participating in the political process. The simple fact is that nobody will look out for the MI generation's interests if its members don't do so themselves.
