Sommario/riassunto

Despite its reputation as one of the greatest and most influential of all horror films, there is surprisingly little literature dedicated to Mario Bava's 'Black Sunday' (1960), and this work is the first single book dedicated to it. This book places the film in the historical context of being one of the first sound Italian horror films and how its success kick-started the Italian horror boom. It considers the particularly Italian perspective on the gothic that the film pioneered and its fresh and pioneering approach to horror tropes such as the vampire and the witch and considers how the casting of British 'Scream Queen' Barbara Steele was crucial to the film's effectiveness and success.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the acoustic radiation force on spherical particles. It explores the force exerted by Gaussian traveling waves and spherically focused ultrasound using the ray



acoustics method. The book also discusses the force generated by plane waves and Gaussian traveling waves, using the acoustic scattering method. Additionally, it examines the effects of Gaussian standing waves and multi-layered spherical particles. Beyond these core topics, the book covers the acoustic radiation force from other sound sources. These include beams produced by hollow focused transducers and annular piston transducers, as well as zero-order quasi-Bessel Gaussian beams and Airy-Gauss beams. It also explains how boundaries impact the acoustic radiation force and the interactions between multiple particles. Finally, the book highlights the medical applications of acoustic radiation force. By covering these diverse aspects, the book inspires more in-depth and comprehensive research into using acoustic radiation force to manipulate particles. The book is suitable for upper undergraduate students and graduate students in acoustics, as well as researchers and professionals engaged in the study of ultrasound and medical imaging.
