Advances in FDTD Computational Electrodynamics: Photonics and Nanotechnology

Advances in FDTD Computational Electrodynamics: Photonics and Nanotechnology

Steven Johnson; Ardavan Oskooi; Allen Taflove

Artech House Publishers
2013
sidottu
Advances in photonics and nanotechnology have the potential to revolutionize humanity's ability to communicate and compute. To pursue these advances, it is mandatory to understand and properly model interactions of light with materials such as silicon and gold at the nanoscale, i.e., the span of a few tens of atoms laid side by side. These interactions are governed by the fundamental Maxwell's equations of classical electrodynamics, supplemented by quantum electrodynamics. This book presents the current state-of-the-art in formulating and implementing computational models of these interactions. Maxwell's equations are solved using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, pioneered by the senior editor, whose prior Artech House books in this area are among the top ten most-cited in the history of engineering. This cutting-edge resource helps readers understand the latest developments in computational modeling of nanoscale optical microscopy and microchip lithography, as well as nanoscale plasmonics and biophotonics.

Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce

Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce

Allen V. Pinkham; Steven R. Evans; Frederick E. Hoxie

Washington State University Press
2022
pokkari
Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce is a generous and careful re-evaluation of Lewis and Clark west of the Bitterroot Mountains. An extraordinary new look at their extended visit--approximately four months of daily interchange with a community the white visitors regarded as especially friendly, hospitable, and helpful to their success--the book represents a breakthrough in Lewis and Clark studies. Many incidents suddenly take on a new light when the historical lens is reversed.In 1984, James Ronda's groundbreaking Lewis and Clark Among the Indians looked broadly at the Lewis and Clark expedition from the Native American perspective. Nearly three decades later, Nez Perce historians Allen V. Pinkham and Steven Ross Evans examined the journals of Lewis and Clark with painstaking care to tease out new insights from what Lewis and Clark wrote about their Nez Perce hosts. Pinkham and Evans evaluate both what Lewis and Clark understood and what they misunderstood in the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) lifeway and political structure. More particularly, they have scoured the journals for clues about how the Nez Perce reacted to the bearded strangers, gathering and putting into print for the first time the stands of a surprisingly rich Nez Perce oral tradition.The first richly detailed exploration of the relationship between Mr. Jefferson's Corps of Discovery and a single tribe, this volume also serves as a template for a Lewis and Clark expedition tribal history series.

The Power Vision Program to Improve Eyesight

The Power Vision Program to Improve Eyesight

Steven M. Beresford; Merrill J. Allen; Francis A. Young; David W. Muris

Humanix Books
2025
pokkari
GOOD VISION IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!During the last few decades, an elite group of eye doctors known as behavioral optometrists have developed simple techniques known as vision therapy eye exercises, which make the eyes healthier and reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses. The Power Vision Program gives you the best of these techniques.The Power Vision Program gives your eyes a good basic workout. In contrast to physical exercises, however, eye exercises are not strenuous. They work by increasing the range and accuracy of the focusing system. Some of the exercises stimulate the flow of nutrients inside the eyes, making them healthier. Other exercises increase natural focusing power and reduce eyestrain from reading or working at a computer. It’s important to understand that the vast majority of people are born with normal eyes. Almost all young children have good vision. Almost all cases of poor vision begin with nothing more serious than a minor focusing problem. Perhaps distant objects become slightly blurred, or you have difficulty reading a menu. Nobody goes to bed with normal vision and wakes up with deformed eyeballs! Nearsightedness (myopia) is caused by watching TV too close, too much reading, or working at a computer. This increases the pressure inside the eyeball and makes it go out of shape. The aging process also causes poor vision (presbyopia) because the eye’s inner lens loses its flexibility and can’t focus properly.Fortunately, all common visual problems can be improved with the techniques you are about to learn. If your vision is not too bad, you can probably avoid or stop wearing glasses. If your vision is bad, you will probably still need them but you will be able to reduce your dependency on them.Follow these instructions and you should see the first signs of improvement within a week or so: STEP ONE: Skim through the entire Power Vision Program on your tablet or computer. Don’t spend more than a few minutes. All you need is a general overview of the material.STEP TWO: Print the entire Power Vision Program and put it in a binder. Read it a couple of times. Don’t be fazed by new words or worried that it’s too complicated. Just follow the instructions step-by-step and it will soon fall into place. STEP THREE: Read the instructions for Rolling, Blinking, and Detailing, and start doing them. These are your New Visual Habits. The goal is to do them during your daily activities. Develop the habit of periodically rolling your eyes, frequently blinking, and looking at small details. STEP FOUR: Print extra copies of the Biofeedback Charts and Reminder Cards. Put them in prominent locations in your home, office, and car.STEP FIVE: Set up a special place to do the exercises. You will need an area of blank wall with good lighting, and a table to put things on. STEP SIX: Do the Power Exercise Module. This will take about 15 minutes. Your goal is to do the Power Exercise Module at least once a day, preferably twice a day.STEP SEVEN: If you wear glasses and have a weaker pair, start wearing them immediately. Develop the habit of taking your glasses off whenever you don’t really need them, provided it’s safe to do so.The Power Vision Program will give you really fast results. Don’t wait or make excuses!

Neuropsychological Aspects of Substance Use Disorders

Neuropsychological Aspects of Substance Use Disorders

Daniel N. Allen; Steven Paul Woods

Oxford University Press Inc
2013
sidottu
In Neuropsychological Aspects of Substance Use Disorders, internationally recognized experts provide clinicians with the most up to date information on the neuropsychology of substance use disorders based on the empirical literature. Substance use disorders continue to be a major health concern in the United States and worldwide, although their causes and effective treatments remain elusive. Research in this area has expanded dramatically over the past two decades and provided insights into psychobiological, behavioral, and genetic factors that contribute to the onset and maintenance of substance use disorders and associated neuropsychological abnormalities. This research has provided a strong empirical foundation that has direct implications for clinical neuropsychological practice and created a need to provide the practitioner with a cogent and up-to-date summary of current developments, which is the goal of this volume. Chapters in this volume are organized into three sections that are designed to provide a translational overview of basic research and treatment findings regarding addictions, neuropsychological and neurological sequalae of the most common substances of abuse, and consideration of special issues that might confound interpretation of neuropsychological test results. Section I provides an overview of addictions, including diagnoses based on the DSM-IV, as well as the most current conceptualizations of addiction from psychobiological, genetic, and behavioral and no economics perspectives, providing the reader with a broad evidence-based conceptual framework. Section II reviews the most common substances of abuse including coverage of structural and functional neuroimaging findings, epidemiological evidence, and neuropsychological sequelae. Substances included in this section represent the most commonly encountered drugs of abuse. Section III includes coverage of the number of special topics, including specific issues related to psychiatric, medical, and neurological comorbidities. Topics included in this section represent areas of common concerns faced by clinical neuropsychologists in the interpretation and application of neuropsychological test results.

Doing Naturalistic Inquiry

Doing Naturalistic Inquiry

David A. Erlandson; Edward L. Harris; Barbara L. Skipper; Steven D. Allen

SAGE Publications Inc
1993
nidottu
While much has been written on alternative paradigm research, there is little concrete advice on how to effectively use the theoretical notions of naturalistic inquiry in practice. Doing Naturalistic Inquiry is the practical guide designed to help beginning researchers apply the constructivist paradigm. Based upon the theoretical work of Lincoln and Guba in developing the naturalistic—or constructivist--paradigm, Erlandson and his colleagues show readers how these ideas shape the practice of conducting alternative paradigm research. The book covers the research process from design through data collection analysis and presentation and examines important issues generally minimized in positivist research texts ethics, trustworthiness, and authenticity. Cases from a wide variety of disciplines demonstrate the efficacy of the methods described. Doing Naturalistic Inquiry is a highly useful teaching tool for anyone using a constructivist lens on research.

Steve McQueen is one of America's legendary movie stars best known for his hugely successful film career in classics such as The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, and The Towering Inferno as well as for his turbulent life off-screen and impeccable style. His unforgettable physical beauty, his soft-spoken manner, his tough but tender roughness, and his aching vulnerability had women swooning and men wanting to be just like him. Today--nearly thirty years after he lost his battle against cancer at the age of fifty--McQueen remains "The King of Cool." Yet, few know the truth of what bubbled beneath his composed exterior and shaped his career, his passions, and his private life. Now, in Steve McQueen, New York Times bestselling author, acclaimed biographer, and film historian, Marc Eliot captures the complexity of this Hollywood screen legend. Chronicling McQueen's tumultuous life both on and off the screen, from his hardscrabble childhood to his rise to Hollywood superstar status, to his struggles with alcohol and drugs and his fervor for racing fast cars and motorcycles, Eliot discloses intimate details of McQueen's three marriages, including his tumultuous relationships with Neile Adams and Ali MacGraw, as well as his numerous affairs. He also paints a full portrait of this incredible yet often perplexing career that ranged from great films to embarrassing misfires. Steve McQueen, adored by millions, was obsessed by Paul Newman, and it is the nature of that obsession that reveals so much about who McQueen really was. Perhaps his greatest talent was to be able to convince audiences that he was who he really wasn't, even as he tried to prove to himself that he wasn't who he really was. With original material, rare photos, and new interviews, Eliot presents a fascinating and complete picture of McQueen's life.
