Metamaterials; Appendices; Index.A comprehensive manual on the efficient modeling and analysis of photonic devices through building numerical codes, this book provides graduate students and researchers with the theoretical background and MATLAB programs necessary for them to start their own numerical experiments. Beginning by summarizing topics in optics and electromagnetism, the book discusses optical planar waveguides, linear optical fiber, the propagation of linear pulses, laser diodes, optical amplifiers, optical receivers, finite-difference time-domain method, beam propagation method and some wavelength division devices, solitons, solar cells and metamaterials. Assuming only a basic knowledge of physics and numerical methods, the book is ideal for engineers, physicists and practising scientists. It concentrates on the operating principles of optical devices, as well as the models and numerical methods used to describe them.Optoelectronic devicesMathematical modelsPhotonicsMathematicsOptoelectronic devicesMathematical models.PhotonicsMathematics.621.3815/2Wartak Marek S.1051571UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910452863603321Computational photonics2482174UNINA04296nam 2200685 450 991045998650332120210421220928.00-520-27775-90-520-96031-910.1525/9780520960312(CKB)3710000000316765(EBL)1732135(SSID)ssj0001381142(PQKBManifestationID)11773250(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001381142(PQKBWorkID)11390715(PQKB)11663087(MiAaPQ)EBC1732135(DE-B1597)520949(OCoLC)898421637(DE-B1597)9780520960312(Au-PeEL)EBL1732135(CaPaEBR)ebr11003289(CaONFJC)MIL688029(EXLCZ)99371000000031676520150120h20152015 uy 0engur|nu---|u||utxtccrDriving after class anxious times in an American suburb /Rachel HeimanOakland, California :University of California Press,2015.©20151 online resource (743 p.)California Series in Public Anthropology ;31Description based upon print version of record.1-322-56747-6 0-520-27774-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Preface --Acknowledgments --1.

A Conclusion, or Rather, a Commencement --Notes --References --IndexA paradoxical situation emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century: the dramatic upscaling of the suburban American dream even as the possibilities for achieving and maintaining it diminished. Having fled to the suburbs in search of affordable homes, open space, and better schools, city-raised parents found their modest homes eclipsed by McMansions, local schools and roads overburdened and underfunded, and their ability to keep up with the pressures of extravagant consumerism increasingly tenuous. How do class anxieties play out amid such disconcerting cultural, political, and economic changes? In this incisive ethnography set in a New Jersey suburb outside New York City, Rachel Heiman takes us into people's homes; their community meetings, where they debate security gates and school redistricting; and even their cars, to offer an intimate view of the tensions and uncertainties of being middle class at that time. With a gift for bringing to life the everyday workings of class in the lives of children, youth, and their parents, Heiman offers an illuminating look at the contemporary complexities of class rooted in racialized lives, hyperconsumption, and neoliberal citizenship. She argues convincingly that to understand our current economic situation we need to attend to the subtle but forceful formation of sensibilities, spaces, and habits that durably motivate people and shape their actions and outlooks. "Rugged entitlement" is Heiman's name for the middle class's sense of entitlement to a way of life that is increasingly untenable and that is accompanied by an anxious feeling that they must vigilantly pursue their own interests to maintain and further their class position. Driving after Class is a model of fine-grained ethnography that shows how families try to make sense of who they are and where they are going in a highly competitive and uncertain time.California series in public anthropology ;31.Social classesNew JerseySuburban lifeNew JerseyMiddle classNew JerseyNew JerseySocial conditionsElectronic books.Social classesSuburban lifeMiddle class305.5/509749Heiman Rachel1045378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459986503321Driving after class2471619UNINA01378nam 2200409Ka 450 991069653000332120080507160744.0(CKB)5470000002379554(OCoLC)227186225(EXLCZ)99547000000237955420080507d2004 ua 0engtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDevelop the capacity to make ecological forecasts[electronic resource][Washington, D.C.] :[U.S. Group on Earth Observations],[2004]27 pages digital, PDF fileTechnical Reference Document.Title from title screen (viewed on May 7, 2008)."November 8, 2004."Includes bibliographical references (pages 20-27).Ecological forecastingRemote sensingArtificial satellites in remote sensingEnvironmental monitoringEcological forecasting.Remote sensing.Artificial satellites in remote sensing.Environmental monitoring.United States Group on Earth Observations.GPOGPOBOOK9910696530003321Develop the capacity to make ecological forecasts3169517UNINA
