Creating Materials with a Desired Refraction Coefficient (Second Edition)
pdf, epub, mobi | 13.46 MB | English | Isbn:978-0-7503-3391-7 | Author: Alexander G Ramm | Year: 2020

Description:

In Ramm's second edition on refraction coefficient the author shares his recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient and solves
the many-body wave scattering problem for many small impedance bodies.
Technical problems are described which, when solved, make this theory
practically applicable. It also provides physical and mathematical arguments
for the possibility to produce such particles. Inverse scattering with
non-over-determined scattering data is discussed.

Revised and expanded,
this new edition includes three new chapters: the discussion of technological
problems to be solved for immediate applicability for creating materials with a
desired refraction coefficient; symmetry properties of the solutions to the
Helmholtz equation and new results on symmetry properties in harmonic analysis;
and theorems in inverse scattering.

Key Features
[*]Presents a method for
creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient[*]Includes a process for
creating wave-focusing materials[*]Highlights inverse problems of
finding the potential from the non-over-determined scattering data[*]Provides an overview of
symmetry properties in scattering theory

The Moment-Weight Inequality and the Hilbert - Mumford Criterion
pdf, epub | 13.61 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B09PJ9VRWW | Author: Valentina Georgoulas, Joel W. Robbin, Dietmar Arno Salamon | Year: 2021

Description:

This book provides an introduction to geometric invariant theory from a differential geometric viewpoint. It is inspired by certain infinite-dimensional analogues of geometric invariant theory that arise naturally in several different areas of geometry. The central ingredients are the moment-weight inequality relating the Mumford numerical invariants to the norm of the moment map, the negative gradient flow of the moment map squared, and the Kempf--Ness function. The exposition is essentially self-contained, except for an appeal to the Lojasiewicz gradient inequality. A broad variety of examples illustrate the theory, and five appendices cover essential topics that go beyond the basic concepts of differential geometry. The comprehensive bibliography will be a valuable resource for researchers.

The book is addressed to graduate students and researchers interested in geometric invariant theory and related subjects. It will be easily accessible to readers with a basic understanding of differential geometry and does not require any knowledge of algebraic geometry.

A Mathematically Coherent Quantum Gravity
pdf, epub, mobi | 12.05 MB | English | Isbn:978-0-7503-2580-6 | Author: James Moffat | Year: 2020

Description:

The development of a
successful theory of quantum gravity in the context of the early universe is
the key next step in theoretical physics. This book takes that step by
describing a coherent mathematical framework for both the evolution of discrete
space-time and the quantum graviton in the Planck regime. In doing so it
successfully blends developments in both loop quantum gravity and superstring
theory with data from the Large Hadron Collider. The result is a coherent
mathematical framework that encapsulates newer developments on both the
evolution of discrete space-time and the quantum graviton in the early
universe. In doing so it addresses a key issue concerning loop quantum gravity
raised by Ashtekar: describing conditions for the existence of locally translation-invariant quantum states; a quantum form of the diffeomorphisms of general
relativity
Key Features
[*]Addresses one of the key questions in theoretical physics: quantum gravity[*]Accessible to graduate students[*]Presents a coherent mathematical framework[*]Author is winner of the President's Medal of the Operational Research Society, the Napier medal in mathematics and the Einstein Medal of the US Marine Corps

F3D - EF-10 Skyknight Units of the Korean and Vietnam Wars (Combat Aircraft)
epub | 15.19 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 1472846257 | Author: Joe Copalman | Year: 2022

Description:

The Douglas F3D Skyknight was an early but effective attempt at combining new technologies together in a lethal package capable of shipboard operation. Whereas most fighters relied on speed and maneuverability, the portly, straight-winged F3D relied on three radars, four 20mm cannon, and - most importantly - darkness. Having first flown in March 1948, the Skyknight's first taste of war came in September 1952, when Marine Night Fighter Squadron 513 [VMF(N)-513] deployed to Korea. The most important job assigned to VMF(N)-513 was the escorting of USAF B-29 bombers over northern Korea. Whereas Chinese and North Korean MiG-15s relied on ground-controlled intercept radar for steering guidance into firing positions, the F3D, with its own onboard radars, was autonomously lethal - it could detect, track and target MiGs all on its own. Skyknight crews ended the Korean War with six nocturnal kills in exchange for one combat loss.

After the war, 35 Skyknights were converted into electronic warfare (EW) aircraft. As US air operations over North Vietnam intensified in early 1965, the need for a tactical EW jet to provide electronic countermeasures (ECM) protection to accompany strike packages north became apparent. For all of its early effectiveness over North Vietnam, the proliferation of radar-guided guns and missiles began to erode the advantage created by EF-10 escort support, which flew its last combat mission in October 1969.

This highly illustrated volume explores the F3D Skynights and their deployment during the Korean and Vietnam wars, using first-hand accounts from aircrew, original photographs and 30 profile artworks to explore their key roles as an escort aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.

Discover the rich and complex history of the peoples of Africa, and the struggles and triumphs of Black cultures and communities around the world.

With profiles of key people, movements, and events, The Black History Book brings together accounts of the most significant ideas and milestones in Black history and culture. This vital and thought-provoking book presents a bold and accessible overview of the history of the African continent and its peoples - from the earliest human migrations to modern Black communities and the African diaspora.

Powerful images and innovative infographics bring to life the stories of the early kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, Nubia, and Carthage; the powerful empires of the Medieval and Early Modern eras; and the struggle against European colonizers. Black history and culture beyond the African continent is also explored in detail - including the Atlantic Slave Trade; the quilombos (slave resistance camps) of Brazil; the Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age; the "Windrush" migration; Civil Rights and Black feminist movements; and Black Lives Matter.

Using the "Big Ideas" series' trademark combination of authoritative, accessible text and bold graphics, The Black History Book examines the achievements and struggles of Black communities across the world up to the modern day, as well as the influence of Black cultures on art, literature, and music the world over.

Intelligent Systems and Applications - Proceedings of the 2021 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys) Volume 3
pdf, epub | 262.01 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B08GLH4HNF | Author: Kohei Arai | Year: 2022

Description:

The book Intelligent Systems and Applications - Proceedings of the 2020 Intelligent Systems Conference is a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wider range of topics in areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence and their applications to the real world. The Conference attracted a total of 545 submissions from many academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, students from all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer review process. Of those 545 submissions, 177 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings.
As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have enabled a larger number of problems to be tackled more effectively.This branching out of computational intelligence in several directions and use of intelligent systems in everyday applications have created the need for such an international conference which serves as a venue to report on up-to-the-minute innovations and developments.
This book collects both theory and application based chapters on all aspects of artificial intelligence, from classical to intelligent scope.
We hope that readers find the volume interesting and valuable; it provides the state of the art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real world problems along with a vision of the future research.
