This book goes beyond diplomatic history to place the Marshall Plan in the context of both the political economy of late 20th century Europe and the impact of American models of business

Despite the efforts that have been made to bring about improvements in schools, some children and young people remain marginal by current arrangements. The development of more inclusive schools remains one of

There has been a massive spotlight on the increasing gap in educational achievement between boys and girls, and the debate surrounding boys' underachievement is a worldwide concern. Given the importance the government

Many of us have been fascinated as children by soap bubbles and soap films. Their shapes and colours are beautiful and they are great fun to pay with. With no les intensity,

There has been considerable interest in recent years in finding methods to efficiently generate large volumes of atmospheric pressure air plasmas at modest temperatures below 2000 K with electron number densities of

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world, from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However, we have yet to explore

Science and Applications of Conducting Polymers emphasizes potential industrial applications of conducting polymers. The papers presented discuss the basic physics and chemistry of conducting polymers, followed by an in-depth examination of applications.

A guide to the physics and technicalities of electron cyclotron resonance sources. It provides a primer on electron cyclotron phenomena in ion sources. It covers elements of plasma physics, specific electron cyclotron

Quantum mechanics stands as one of the most remarkable achievements of the 20th century, providing startling insight into the nature of matter and a spectacularly successful predictive theory. However, while the predictive

As the selection of material for particular engineering properties becomes increasingly important in keeping costs down, methods for evaluating material properties also become more relevant. One such method examines the geometry of

This volume of conference proceedings focuses on recent progress in the description and understanding of accelerator optical systems. It consists of invited papers only. The contributions should interest researchers working with high

Provides a unique and invaluable reference work. Author presents a detailed introduction to the concept of optical susceptibilities of crystalline media which will prove essential for all workers in the field. DLC:

An overview of the use of three-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy, this study explores the use of multi-modality computed tomography, treatment-planning software, advanced collimation techniques, proton radiotherapy, megavoltage imaging and stereotactic radiosurgery.

The first ICXOM congress held in Cambridge was the brain-child of Dr. Ellis Cosslett, founder of the Electron Optics Section of the Cavendish Laboratory. Dr. Cosslett pioneered research in x-ray optics and

Volume 2 gives a survey of GaInAsP-GaAs for photonic and electronic device applications. An invaluable introduction and guide for researchers in materials science, applied physics and electrical engineering. DLC: Vapor-plating.

Honouring the memory of physics educator Eric Rogers, this volume contains essays that deal with issues of current concern in science education, particularly the teaching of physics.

The Handbook of Chemical and Biological Sensors focuses on the development of sensors to recognize substances rather than physical quantities. This fully inclusive book examines devices that use a biological sensing element

Modern Magnetooptics and Magnetooptical Materials provides a comprehensive account of the principles and applications of magnetooptics, bridging the gap between textbooks and specialist accounts in the research and review literature. The book

Univ. of Sheffield, UK. Textbook providing introduction to application of physics and engineering in healthcare from ionizing radiation to biomechanics. Examples explain how some diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are performed. Halftone illustrations

X-Ray Lasers 1996 provides not only an overview and progress report on this fast moving field, but also important reference material on which future work can be built. Topics covered include collisional
