Magnetostatic Waves in Inhomogeneous Fields

Magnetostatic Waves in Inhomogeneous Fields

Magnetostatic waves (MSWs) in magnetodielectric media are fundamental for the creation of various highly efficient devices for analog information processing in the microwave range. These devices include various filters delay lines phase shifters frequency converters nonreciprocal and nonlinear devices and others. Magnetostatic Waves in Inhomogeneous Fields examines magnetostatic waves and their distribution in non-uniformly magnetized films and structures. The propagation of magnetostatic waves in magnetodielectric environments is accompanied by numerous and very diverse physical effects sharply distinguishing them from ordinary electromagnetic waves in isotropic media. The authors address dispersion properties and noncollinearity of phase and group velocity vectors as well as non-reciprocal propagation. Key Features Offers mathematical tools used in the calculation of properties of magnetostatic waves Includes a current literature review of magnetostatic waves and domain structures in garnet–ferrite films Considers the issue of converting magnetostatic waves into electromagnetic ones

Management of Carbon Sequestration in Soil

Management of Carbon Sequestration in Soil

This book addresses the importance of soil processes in the global carbon cycle. Agricultural activities considered responsible for an increase in CO2 levels in our atmosphere include: deforestation biomass burning tillage and intensive cultivation and drainage of wetlands. However agriculture can also be a solution to the problem in which carbon can be removed from the atmosphere and permanently sequestered into the soil. Management of Carbon Sequestration in Soil highlights the importance of world soils as a sink for atmospheric carbon and discusses the impact of tillage conservation reserve programs (CRP) management of grasslands and woodlands and other soil and crop management and land use practices that lead to carbon sequestration.

Human Factors in Lighting

Human Factors in Lighting

The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over yet as a major user of electricity it has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has focused largely on the environmental consequences with little consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in Lighting Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the perception of people objects and spaces; human comfort and behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all. See What‘s New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the non-image-forming system lighting for pedestrians light pollution and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting solutions at a lower environmental cost.

Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

The studies presented in this book demonstrate that a new concept in the management of carious intestinal disorders should be considered namely that common nutrients may protect or heal the mucosa by virtue of the particular form and mode in which they are delivered to the intestinal lumen and their availability to the mucosal cells. The substitution of intact protein in the formula by hydrolysate appears to me an important factor. | Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

Handbook of Soils and Climate in Agriculture

Handbook of Soils and Climate in Agriculture

The sections in this handbook series reflect the input of different editors and advisory boards and as a consequence there is considerable variation in both the depth and coverage offered within a given area. However an attempt has been made throughout to bring together pertinent information that will serve the needs of nonspecialists provide a quick reference to material that might otherwise be difficult to locate and furnish a starting point for further study. The project was undertaken with the realization that the initial volumes in the series could have some obvious deficiencies that will necessitate subsequent revisions. In the meantime it is felt that the primary objectives of the Sections Editors and their Advisory Boards has been met in this first Edition. | Handbook of Soils and Climate in Agriculture
