Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics

This book describes the microemulsion phenomenon in a systematic manner and not only provides an up-to-date introduction to this topic but aslo serves as the basis for further development in the area. The progress of microemulsion research has taken place in well-defined stages. The introduction period was founded on Schulman‘s original discovery and was as expected focused on the interfacial free energy. Because Schulman obtained his microemulsions from a macroemulsion by the addition of a cosurfactant. The present stage is characterized by an extensively enhanced knowledge about structure and dynamics in these systems. This has led to the realization that the structure of the microemulsions is related both to solutions with critical behaviour and long range order structures the lyotropic liquid crystals. These two aspects have been elucidated independently by the French groups and by the Lund Spectroscopy group. | Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics

The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction

Novelists have long been attracted to theatre. Some have pursued success on the stage but many have sought to combine these worlds entering theatre through their fiction setting stages on their novels’ pages and casting actors directors and playwrights as their protagonists. The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction has convened an international community of scholars to explore the remarkable array of novelists from many eras and parts of the world who have created fiction from the stuff of theatre asking what happens to theatre on the pages of novels and what happens to novels when they collaborate with theatre. From J. W. Goethe to Louisa May Alcott Mikhail Bulgakov Virginia Woolf and Margaret Atwood some of history’s most influential novelists have written theatre-fiction and this Companion discusses many of these figures from new angles. But it also spotlights writers who have received less critical attention such as Dorothy Leighton Agustín de Rojas Villandrando Ronald Firbank Syed Mustafa Siraj Li Yu and Vicente Blasco Ibañez bringing their work into conversation with a vital field. A valuable resource for students scholars and admirers of both theatre and novels The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction offers a wealth of new perspectives on topics of increasing critical concern including intermediality theatricality antitheatricality mimesis diegesis and performativity.

Optics for Engineers

The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for
