Nonlinear Optics: Theory, Numerical Modeling And Applications Review

First, let me start by stating that I would have given the book 4 stars but the first edition has an incredible amount of typesetting mistakes in the equations. If you are working through each equation it is realtively easy to find the mistakes, but it can be a real impediment to learning the material.

This book takes a very detailed look at nonlinear optics from an electrical engineering point of view. The important topics are covered, from a modest review of needed Fourier concepts to X(2) and X(3) nonlinear processes. Emphasis in the chapters is placed on development of the material from what I, born a physicist, consider to be an engineer's point of view. Problems at the end of the chapter ask the reader to develop alternate, heuristic approaches in parallel to the chapter. Contrary to the 'editorial review', the end of the chapters do not contain indept examples, I can only assume they are referring to the problems left to the reader.

All of that being said, this book takes a rigorous approach to the development of the core nonlinear optics topics. This book would be a good acquisition for anyone in the field of nonlinear optics to round out books such as Boyd's Nonlinear Optics or others.

Again, the assertion in the editorial review that this book would be for seniors or first year grad students is, I think, mistaken. This is more for students who have already mastered a core curriculum in optics.

Product Description

This volume will describe the usefulness of nuclear techniques in the in vivo evaluation of organs and systems of patients suffering from tropical diseases.

Nuclear Medicine in Tropical and Infectious Diseases (Developments in Nuclear Medicine) Review

This 252 page text is volume 34 of series entitled "Developments in Nuclear Medicine". The Text consists of 30 chapters, many of which are dedicated to specific tropical and some more common micro-organisms, with an emphasis on how Nuclear Medicine techniques may contribute towards the management of patients with these infections. To those in the developed world the list of organisms might be considered to be of small relevance to our day to day practice of Nuclear Medicine, but we are reminded in the Foreword of the prevalence of diseases such as malaria, leprosy, schisosomiasis and others, with half of the world's population being at risk and the fact that 36% of dealths are due to infectious diseases in the developing world. Some of the last 6 chapters are less specific, dealing with radiopharmaceuticals used in infection and inflammation and the role of Nuclear Medicine in the management of Fever of Unknown Origin. More specific chapters are also incorporated towards the end of the book covering invasive fungal infections, mononuclear cell mediated inflammation and the labelling of antibiotics and micro-organisms.The list of contributors is multinational but predominantly from Brazil and Ghent, with the editor being the sole author or contributing to the majority of chapters. A reasonably large number of figures are included, many of which illustrate features of Nuclear Medicine imaging in tropical and infectious diseases that are rare in more general Nuclear Medicine texts. Some are poorly reproduced, however, and are too small for adequate visualisation of the pathology described.Despite most of us being rarely involved with many of the pathologies described in this book, I suspect that much of the information contained is not easily accessible elsewhere, and as such, this text is of interest and potentially an extremely useful first port of call to look for information on Nuclear Medicine techniques in tropical infectious diseases.

Product Description

Industrial hygienists are being called on to provide expertise in more and more different fields. It is often difficult to keep up with the latest technologies in all these fields. This quick reference includes terms found in journals, books, manufacturers' literature, and other sources used daily by industrial hygienists and others. It is filled with nearly 5,000 terms in industrial hygiene, safety, and occupational medicine, plus relevant terms and abbreviations from acoustics, physics, chemistry, and biology. It contains vital information pertaining to bacteriology, environmental health, epidemiology, illumination, mathematics, medicine, microscopy, mineralogy, and other fields.

Designed in an easy-to-access format, this handy sourcebook also includes terms and abbreviations used by government to enforce regulations in occupational health and safety. All information is presented in simple, non-technical language for easy understanding.

In the health and safety field the disciplines of environmental health, industrial hygiene, occupational health, and safety are managed, supervised, and addressed by single groups instead of separately, as was previously done. As a result the health/safety professionals in industry today must be generalists instead of specialists. This book has been expanded in recognition of the changes in the field of Industrial hygiene.

What's new in the new edition:

Contains 50% more terms, definitions and abbreviations

Increases coverage on each discipline

Includes new entries from other disciplines such as epidemiology, microbiology, indoor air quality environmental health, and sanitation

Product Description

There is discontent with how the textbooks have come to reinterpret Keynes but there is little communication between the most prominent schools of criticism. This book argues that this lack of dialogue is mistaken and damaging. A synthesis is possible as many of the arguments between them can be traced to simple misunderstadings and differences of emphasis.

On Interpreting Keynes: A Study in Reconciliation Review

Littleboy's(L)book would have deserved a higher rating if he had incorporated an analysis of Keynes's formal mathematical model,contained in chapters 10,20,21 and the appendix to chapter 19,into his discussion of the large overlap and common ground that he shows exists between the different,competing subgroups that make up the Keynesian school of economics.Such an analysis would show that none of the Keynesian subgroups have a complete formal understanding of the complete theory that Keynes presented in 1936 in his General Theory(GT).Each subgroup has grasped onto some part of the whole that is correct.None of the subgroups has been able to reconstuct Keynes's original contribution .This is due to their inability to understand the formal mathematical structure of Keynes's model of the GT.Keynes's model is composed of two parts or sub models.The first part is the Y=PO=C+I model,where C=bY(or a+bY).Here Y equals actual or current aggregate demand.P represents the actual price level for the economy as a whole in this part of Keynes's model and O represents real output.The second part of Keynes's model is the D-Z model.Keynes introduced this model in chapter 3 of the GT.Keynes intended this chapter to be no more than a brief guide to what he intended to cover in the course of constructing his theory.It is an introduction that presents no analysis whatever.The rudimentory "equations" are essentially grammer school prealgebra constructs that form the starting point from which Keynes will constuct the formal aspects of his D-Z submodel in chapters 20 and 21 of the GT.Keynes then compares his complete theoretical construct(Y and D-Z) with that of Pigou's 1933 masterpiece,The Theory of Unemployment.Pigou's technical analysis is contained primarily in chapters 8-10 of Part II of his book.It is here that L goes badly astray.L assumes,like all other economists who have written on the GT, that chapter 3 of the GT is the core of the theoretical analysis of the GT.L follows in the footsteps of Dennis Robertson,Ralph Hawtrey,Harry Johnson and F. de Jong,who claimed that the heart of Keynes's GT was contained on pp.24-30(chapter 3)in a series of articles published in the Economic Journal(EJ) in 1954-1956.All of the Keynesian subgroups have accepted this.For instance,chapter 3 "interpretations"are all based on the above mentioned EJ articles .The socalled Post Keynesian models of Paul Davidson,Sydney Weintraub,Paul Wells,Douglas Vickers and J.A.Kregel are all derived directly from the EJ articles listed above plus some "interpretation"of chapter 3.The same conclusion holds for A.Leijonhufvud,whose interpretation is the one of the two that L concentrates on.Keynes's D-Z model is straightforward.D=pO, where p equals the expected price level and D equals the expected level of aggregate demand.O is a function of total employment,N.The analysis is based on the short run assumption that technological change and the capital stock are being held constant.Z =P+wN,where P is expected economic profit,w is a short run constant money wage level and N is total employment.Keynes sets D=Z,where D=f(N) and Z=g(N).A set of D=Z points is created depending on the different number of expected prices that entreprenuers consider probable.The amount of involuntary unemployment present in the economy will be determined by comparing the set of D-Z intersections with Y.Only one of the D-Z points will represent full employment.If Y intersects this point ,then no involuntary unemployment will be present.Any other point of intersection will mean that some amount of involuntary unemployment is present.Any reader of this review or economist ,who knows how to integrate(take the anti derivative),can derive Keynes's formal model simply by integrating Keynes's derivatives on pp.55-56,ft.2,pp.280-286,and pp.304-306.Automatically,the conclusion that will be reached is that the claim made by Robertson,Hawtrey,Johnson,Davidson,Vickers,etc.,that Z=pO,is simply an obvious mathematical error.The more serious question is" why are economists unable to integrate Keynes's derivatives close to 70 years after the publication of the GT?"
