Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach

Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena Now thoroughly revised Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively integrates basic concepts of polarization phenomena from the dual viewpoints of the states of polarization of electromagnetic waves and the transformations of these states by the action of material media. Through selected examples it also illustrates actual and potential applications in materials science biology and optics technology. The book begins with the basic concepts related to two- and three-dimensional polarization states. It next describes the nondepolarizing linear transformations of the states of polarization through the Jones and Mueller-Jones approaches. The authors then discuss the forms and properties of the Jones and Mueller matrices associated with different types of nondepolarizing media address the foundations of the Mueller matrix and delve more deeply into the analysis of the physical parameters associated with Mueller matrices. The authors proceed with introducing the arbitrary decomposition and other useful parallel decompositions and compare the powerful serial decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices. They also analyze the general formalism and specific algebraic quantities and notions related to the concept of differential Mueller matrix. Useful approaches that provide a geometric point of view on the polarization effects exhibited by different types of media are also comprehensively described. The book concludes with a new chapter devoted to the main procedures for filtering measured Mueller matrices. Suitable for advanced graduates and more seasoned professionals this book covers the main aspects of polarized radiation and polarization effects of material media.

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions mostly Sanskrit that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women four of them in succession is a case in point. In addition the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari’s earlier Invisible Women Visible Histories: Gender Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad) which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir Kanauj Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized was similarly its underlying essence.

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Over the past decade plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research owing to their remarkable optical properties. These properties arise from a collective oscillation of the conductive electrons at the nanoparticle surface under light irradiation known as localized surface plasmon (LSP). LSP is characterized by (i) a strong absorption and scattering of the light depending on the geometrical parameters of the nanoparticles and (ii) a strong amplification of the local field in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Quite recently it was shown that the activation and the initiation of chemical reactions or physical processes can be facilitated using LSP excitation. Such exploitation presents two main advantages: an enhanced yield and a fine control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale. These topics have become very active and are in line with molecular plasmonics. This book explores this new field and provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields. | Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Law Reforms Around the World Perspectives from National and International Law

Law Reforms Around the World Perspectives from National and International Law

Encapsulating Law Reform requires the creation of a discreet space occupied with normative self-generation self-correction and self-adaptation in the very anatomy of law and the architecture of legal systems. This ‘living dynamic trait’ should be a hallmark of the genetic material in the modern-day institution of law. This edited volume sheds light on Law Reform in its domestic comparative regional and international settings. It examines the process of Law Reform and explains the need for a constant appraisal to keep its wheels optimally operational. The book takes a holistic approach to understanding Law Reform and calls for such an approach in the very process of Law Reform. It begins by looking at Law Reform processes from a theoretical perspective. Thereafter it sheds light on domestic Law Reform processes in civil and common law legal systems. This is followed by a focus on Law Reform at the international level with a critical appraisal of the International Law Commission (ILC) drawing on its performance in international economic and environmental law. Included in this consideration is also the role played in Law Reform by the IMF World Trade Organization/World Intellectual Property Organization Multilateral Development Banks and the African Union Commission on International Law. This volume should appeal to students serious scholars policy makers judges and the community of national and international lawyers interested in bringing effective reform in the national and international arenas. | Law Reforms Around the World Perspectives from National and International Law
