This book concentrates on the design and development of integrated optic waveguide sensors using silicon based materials. It gives the readers the full background in the field of sensors, reasons for using silicon oxynitride as a potential waveguide material as well as its fabrication processes and possible uses.

This book offers much-needed insight into the Oxford and Cambridge Unions and the important role they have played in nineteenth-century British political culture.

This book challenges assumptions about the motivations that drive women from relatively poor, developing countries to use intermarriage dating sites to find partners from relatively wealthy, developed countries.

The author posits that regional energy relations have yet to be examined through a comprehensive analytical framework in order to realistically assess the potential role of energy in acting as a catalyst for greater economic and political cooperation in the region.

This book presents state-of-the-art computationalattention models that have been successfully tested in diverse applicationareas and can build the foundation for artificial systems to efficientlyexplore, analyze, and understand natural scenes.

This book traces the role of Budapest building managers or concierges during the Holocaust. Thus, it situates the building managers' activity during the war against the background of the origins and development of the profession as a by-product of the development of residential buildings since the forming of Budapest.

To minimise the scope of these negative impacts, joint efforts combining tourism and environmental management are called for.This book examines the application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method and lifecycle thinking as a tool to generate more accurate and holistic appraisals of the environmental impacts of tourism.

This book provides an accessible and timely analysis of how the British discourse on Europe has evolved over the past forty years. Importantly, the book also pays close attention to the rising prominence of immigration issues within the British discourse on Europe.

This book provides a detailed analysis of absorption refrigeration systems, covering single effect to multi-effect systems and their applications.

Examples and exercises are also provided in this textbook. New programming methodologies are requiring new forms of control flow, and new programming languages are supporting these methodologies with new control structures, such as the concurrency constructs discussed in this textbook.

This book reconsiders the major current topics in the philosophy of perception using olfaction as the paradigm sense.

Simple, yet precise solutions to special flows are also constructed, namely Blasius boundary layer flows, matched asymptotics of the Navier-Stokes equations, global laws of steady and unsteady boundary layer flows and laminar and turbulent pipe flows.

3D creeping flows and rapid granular avalanches are treated in the context of the shallow flow approximation, and it is demonstrated that uniqueness and stability deliver a natural transition to turbulence modeling at the zero, first order closure level.

In this short monograph Newton-likeand other similar numerical methods with applications to solving multivariateequations are developed, which involve Caputotype fractional mixed partial derivatives and multivariate fractional Riemann-Liouvilleintegral operators.

The first part is devoted to the study of channel flows, in particularthe lateral flow of a viscous and viscous-plastic liquid in a ring channelformed by coaxial cylinders.

This book presents research advances in automotive AC systems using an interdisciplinary approach combining both thermal science, and automotive engineering.

This book is designed to help students and researchers understand the latest research and development trends in the domain of geospatial information and communication (GeoICT) technologies.

This book uniquely integrates discourse analysis and corpus linguistics to examine representations of the self and other within lifestyle migration.

This volume addresses the physical foundation of remote sensing. The book aims at plugging the quite large gap between the thorough and quantitative description of electromagnetic waves interacting with the Earth's environment and the user applications of Earth observation.

This book is about the convergence of two problems: the ongoing realities of conflict and forced migration in Africa's Great Lakes region, and the crisis of citizenship and belonging.

This book is ideal for postgraduate researchers and academics in US foreign policy, foreign policy decision-making, transatlantic relations and NATO, as well as a great use to undergraduate students.

This book examines the changes in the governance of human expression as a result of the development of the Internet.

This book is a philosophical introduction to the field of communication and media studies.

This book critically examines the European Union's "Unity in Diversity" mantra with regard to language. The book will be of interest to sociolinguists, political scientists, sociologists, as well as scholars of language and globalization and European studies.
