Synchrotron Light Sources and Free-Electron Lasers Accelerator Physics, Instrumentation and Science Applications


Free Download Eberhard J. Jaeschke, Shaukat Khan, Jochen R. Schneider, "Synchrotron Light Sources and Free-Electron Lasers: Accelerator Physics, Instrumentation and Science Applications"
English | 2020 | pages: 2492 | ISBN: 303023200X | PDF | 80,4 mb
This handbook presents the development of synchrotron light sources and free-electron lasers as well as new scientific applications. Hardly any other discovery of the nineteenth century had such an impact on science and technology as Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s seminal discovery of X-rays in the year 1895. X-ray tubes soon became established as excellent instruments for numerous applications in medicine, biology, materials science and testing, chemistry and even public security. Developing new radiation sources with higher and higher brilliance and much extended spectral range for an ever widening field of research resulted in stunning developments like the electron storage ring and the free-electron laser.

Sources in Irish Art 2: A Reader is an anthology of literary and critical sources for the study of visual art and Ireland. It is a completely new version of the 2000 publication, Sources in Irish Art with an additional editor, brand new texts with the historical range stretching from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries. Divided into four sections, Art historiography, Nationalism and identity, the Wider world, and Art and text, the sources included are taken from letters, travel diaries, antiquarian writings, art dictionaries, accounts of collections, memoirs, essays, exhibition catalogues and reviews, and government enquiries.

Epistemology in Classical India The Knowledge Sources of the Nyaya School


Free Download Stephen H Phillips, "Epistemology in Classical India: The Knowledge Sources of the Nyaya School"
English | 2011 | pages: 204 | ISBN: 0415895545, 1138008818 | EPUB | 2,5 mb
In this book, Phillips gives an overview of the contribution of Nyaya-the classical Indian school that defends an externalist position about knowledge as well as an internalist position about justification. Nyaya literature extends almost two thousand years and comprises hundreds of texts, and in this book, Phillips presents a useful overview of the under-studied system of thought. For the philosopher rather than the scholar of Sanskrit, the book makes a whole range of Nyaya positions and arguments accessible to students of epistemology who are unfamiliar with classical Indian systems.

CO2 and CO as Feedstock Sustainable Carbon Sources for the Circular Economy


Free Download CO2 and CO as Feedstock: Sustainable Carbon Sources for the Circular Economy
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031278100 | 420 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 52 MB
Climate protection and raw material change require new, sustainable carbon sources for the chemical and fuel industries. In fact, processes that recycle carbon-containing emission and gas streams industrially are reaching industrial practice. They will make an important contribution to reducing carbon emissions and moving towards a true carbon circular economy.

Electromagnetic Sources and Electromagnetic Fields

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819994489 | 556 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 60 MB
This book presents a modified spherical harmonic expansion method in which the electromagnetic fields and their sources are expanded with the same set of spherical vector basis functions in a similar procedure. Explicit expressions for the electromagnetic fields, potentials, energies, and the related Green’s functions are derived for the spherical modes in both frequency domain and time domain. Based on the formulation, the relationships between the electromagnetic sources, the electromagnetic far fields, and the electromagnetic near fields are clearly revealed. In particular, a nonuniform transmission line model is developed for intuitively characterizing the total radiation process. The introduction of the cutoff radius and the cutoff mode degree provides a simple reference for determining the numbers of degrees of freedom of the fields associated with sources in a bounded region. Based on the theory, an efficient hybrid method for synthesizing antenna arrays with complex footprints is proposed and demonstrated with several numerical examples. Effective algorithms are also developed for reconstructing the radiating part of the current sources.

2012 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0312576129 | PDF | 21 MB
Sources of The Making of the West provides written and visual documents closely aligned with each chapter of The Making of the West. This two-volume collection reinforces the major political, economic, social, and cultural developments in the textbook by allowing students to engage directly with the voices of those who experienced them. Over thirty new documents and visual sources highlight the diversity of historical voices – including both notable figures and ordinary individuals – that shaped each period. To aid students in approaching and interpreting documents, each chapter contains an introduction, document headnotes, and questions for discussion.
