English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-0750326841 | 187 pages | True PDF EPUB | 38.74 MB Applications of ultrashort pulses at different pumping wavelengths in various field of science and technology needs simple stat- of-the-art setups for the generation of high quality short temporal duration pulses. This book provides information on the existing optical pulse compression techniques, drawbacks occurred in each technique through the respecting nonlinear phenomenon responsible for the pulse propagation. Generating high energy few-cycle pulses in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum has become great interest for numerous applications. Hence, it requires pulse compression techniques to get few-cycle pulses at any desired wavelength with greater simplicity. There is no book currently available in market to understand compression techniques and their physical mechanism through optical fiber. This book provides information on various pulse compression techniques in the aspect of theoretical modelling as well as experiment which helps the reader to acquire a knowledge on the basic concepts of pulse compression.

As the importance of fascia is increasingly recognized it became obvious that there was a need for a book that clearly and concisely presents the facts. This is that book. It has a strong storyline, with each chapter logically connecting to the next, rather like fascia itself! It is informative and satisfying to read. Fascia - What It Is and Why It Matters serves as an essential primer for professionals, such as movement educators, physical therapists, osteopaths, massage therapists, fitness professionals, and doctors enabling them to attain a solid grasp of what fascia is and what it does in the body. It provides an understanding of fascia as a tissue, of its role in the various systems of the body and of its clinical significance. The book is complete in itself, but also it may also serve as a springboard to deeper explorations should the reader wish to go further.

From the first model in 1923 to their final model year in 1973 , International Harvester revolutionized the tractor world by conceiving the Farmall brand, revolutionary all-purpose tractors designed for small- to medium-sized farms . English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-1685076627 | 186 pages | True PDF | 17.21 MB The presented work summarizes and systematizes an extensive experimental material of the results of studying polymers using spectroscopy in the low-frequency infrared region. Today, spectroscopic studies in the far infrared region are becoming an important tool for characterizing the physical properties of polymers, determined by molecular dynamics and the level of molecular interactions. Low-frequency spectroscopy of intermolecular interactions is the original and most informative source and criterion for establishing the presence of a hydrogen bond in biological substances, multiplets and clusters in ionomers, a criterion for crystallinity, etc. Far IR spectroscopy has proven to be productive in deciphering the molecular nature of solid-state (δ, β, and γ) relaxation transitions in polymers. This was the result of (1) evaluating the potential barriers and sizes of molecular motion units from the spectra, (2) finding empirical correlations between the spectral parameters and molecular characteristics of polymers, and (3) comparing the results with activation barriers for relaxation transitions.

Markets have boomed and bust and boomed again with residential property increasingly a focus of wealth accumulation practices. While analyses have largely focussed on global flows of capital and large institutions, families have served as critical actors. Housing properties are family goods that shape how members interact, organise themselves, and deal with the vicissitudes of everyday economic life. Families have, moreover, increasingly mobilized around their homes as assets, aligning household transitions and practices towards the accumulation of property wealth. The capacities of different families to realise this, however, are highly uneven with housing conditions becoming increasingly central to growing inequalities and processes of social stratification. This book addresses changing relationships between families and their homes over the latest period of neo-liberalization. The book confronts how transformations in households, life-course transitions, kinship and intergenerational relations shape, and are being shaped by, the shifting role of property markets in social and economic processes. The chapters explore this in terms of different aspects of home, family life and socioeconomic change across varied national contexts.
