Sommario/riassunto |
|
With a tutorial approach, this book covers the most impor- tant aspects of the scattering of electromagnetic radiation from structures (isolated or on a substrate) whose size is comparable to the incident wavelength. Special emphasis is placed on the electromagnetic problem of microstructures lo- cated close to an interface by reviewing the most important numerical methods for calculating the scattered field. The polarization propagation and the statistics of scattered in- tensity in microstructured targets are also presented from a didactic point of view. The final part of the book is dedi- cated to the most significant applications in both basic and applied research: surface enhanced Raman scattering, monito- ring and detection of surface contamination by particles, optical communications, particle sizing and others. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Dr Comber's account of General Templer's administration in Malaya as High Commissioner and Director of Operations (1952-54) during the Malayan Emergency departs from the usually accepted orthodox assessment of his time in Malaya by focusing on the political and socioeconomic aspects of his governance rather than the military. In doing so, Dr Comber has relied mainly on primary and other first-hand sources, including the confidential reports sent from Malaya by the Australian Commission to the Australian government in Canberra, and the private papers of some of the leading Malayan politicians of the time with whom Templer had dealings which have been deposited in the ISEAS Library, Singapore, many of which have not been used before. |

<br>The evidence and facts that Dr Comber marshals in this study reflect well the reservations that were often felt about General Templer's authoritarian form of government. While he was a good general and had an impressive military record, his administration in Malaya was marred by a lack of understanding of the background to Malaya's history and the subtleties that are inherent in its culture and way of life which would have enabled him to come to terms more easily with the aspirations of the Malayan people for self-government and independence. |
