Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity

Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity

Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity provides a history of the boy band from the Beatles to One Direction placing the modern male pop group within the wider context of twentieth- and twenty-first-century popular music and culture. Offering the first extended look at pop masculinity as exhibited by boy bands this volume links the evolving expressions of gender and sexuality in the boy band to wider economic and social changes that have resulted in new ways of representing what it is to be a man. The popularity of boy bands is unquestionable and their contributions to popular music are significant yet they have attracted relatively little study. This book fills that gap with chapters exploring the challenges of defining the boy band phenomenon its origins and history from the 1940s to the present the role of management and marketing the performance of gender and sexuality and the nature of fandom and fan agency. Throughout the author illuminates the ways in which identity politics influence the production and consumption of pop music and shows how the mainstream pop of boy bands can both reinforce and subvert gender and class hierarchies.

Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Status Quo were one of the most successful influential and innovative bands of the 1970s. During the first half of the decade they wrote recorded and performed a stream of inventive and highly complex rock compositions developed 12 bar forms and techniques in new and fascinating ways and affected important musical and cultural trends. But despite global success on stage and in the charts they were maligned by the UK music press who often referred to them as lamebrained three-chord wonders and shunned by the superstar Disk Jockeys of the era who refused to promote their music. As a result Status Quo remain one of the most misunderstood and underrated bands in the history of popular music. Cope redresses that misconception through a detailed study of the band’s music and live performances related musical and cultural subtopics and interviews with key band members. The band is reinstated as a serious artistic and creative phenomenon of the 1970s scene and shown to be vital contributors to the evolution of rock. | Status Quo: Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Antenna Engineering Theory and Problems

Antenna Engineering Theory and Problems

The book deals with theoretical and experimental research of antennas. The presentation is based on the electromagnetic theory. It begins with the theory of thin antennas. Thin antennas represent one of the main types of radiators thus the theory of thin antennas is the basis of the antennas analysis. Special attention is paid to the integral equation of Leontovich-Levin for a current along a straight thin-walled metal cylinder which is equivalent to the equation of Hallen with a precise kernel. Together with the analysis of various types of antennas the book deals with the problems of synthesis including the creation a wide-band radiator by means of determining of the types and the magnitudes of concentrated loads which are connected along a linear radiator and create in a given frequency band high electrical performance. Problems of antenna engineering are discussed in the second half of the book including the results of application of a compensation method for the protection of humans against irradiation and structural features of ship antennas. | Antenna Engineering Theory and Problems

Blockchain and the Commons

Blockchain and the Commons

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in ‘the commons’ based on a simple yet radical idea: great improvements in production and management could be achieved by reducing barriers to knowledge exchange and power-sharing. Ranging from meadows forests and parks to language open-source software (FLOSS and Blockchain) and 3D printers the commons are distributed or common property resources/infrastructures that are self-managed by their user communities. While acknowledging the significant contributions that can be made through commons-based peer production this book provides a critical examination of the commons with the aim of contributing to their long-term sustainability. In particular the book examines the relation of Blockchain to the commons by illustrating the case study of the Commons Stack. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary ideas and methodologies the book argues that there are a number of economic and social barriers that are obstructing the wider reproduction of the commons. Problems with access to capital and training the lack of entrepreneurial and managerial skills and the absence of institutional support from governments larger co-ops and NGOs are some of the external difficulties facing the commons today. Meanwhile localism gated communities vested interests atavism traditionalism ideology conflict neo-conservatism and techno-elitism represent some of the internal contradictions inherent in the commons. Through overcoming these contradictions the ultimate goal is to transform capitalism into the postcapitalism of the commons: the creation of a social economy self-organised around the commons. This book provides vital reading for anyone interested in the commons from economics techno-politics and across the social sciences. | Blockchain and the Commons

Indium Nitride and Related Alloys

Indium Nitride and Related Alloys

Written by recognized leaders in this dynamic and rapidly expanding field Indium Nitride and Related Alloys provides a clear and comprehensive summary of the present state of knowledge in indium nitride (InN) research. It elucidates and clarifies the often confusing and contradictory scientific literature to provide valuable and rigorous insight into the structural optical and electronic properties of this quickly emerging semiconductor material and its related alloys. Drawing from both theoretical and experimental perspectives it provides a thorough review of all data since 2001 when the band gap of InN was identified as 0. 7 eV. The superior transport and optical properties of InN and its alloys offer tremendous potential for a wide range of device applications including high-efficiency solar cells and chemical sensors. Indeed the now established narrow band gap nature of InN means that the InGaN alloys cover the entire solar spectrum and InAlN alloys span from the infrared to the ultraviolet. However with unsolved problems including high free electron density difficulty in characterizing p-type doping and the lack of a lattice-matched substrate indium nitride remains perhaps the least understood III-V semiconductor. Covering the epitaxial growth experimental characterization theoretical understanding and device potential of this semiconductor and its alloys this book is essential reading for both established researchers and those new to the field.

Vibro-Acoustics Fundamentals and Applications

Vibro-Acoustics Fundamentals and Applications

The subject of vibro-acoustics is important for the design of machine elements and structures to minimize sound generated by them. For better machine designing it is necessary for machine designers (mechanical engineers) to have a thorough knowledge of vibro-acoustics. Furthermore since the design cycles of machines have become shorter designers will have to design quiet machines at the drawing-board stage rather than applying band-aid techniques after the machine has been built. Although there is common ground in the treatment of acoustics the subject of vibration is not very fortunate. Those interested in low-frequency vibration are generally concerned with the modal approach of using natural frequencies and mode shapes whereas those interested in vibro-acoustics in medium and high frequencies are generally concerned with the wave approach. Since both modal and wave approaches have their advantages it is a good idea to study both together to get the best out of them. This is useful for a better understanding the physics of vibro-acoustics. Written for students and professionals interested in gaining knowledge this book systematically integrates the relevant aspects of vibro-acoustics from various viewpoints. | Vibro-Acoustics Fundamentals and Applications
