There has recently been considerable interest in the possibility, both theoretical and practical, of invisibility (or “cloaking”) from observation by electromagnetic (EM) waves. Here, we prove invisibility with respect to solutions of the Helmholtz and Maxwell’s equations, for several constructions of cloaking devices. The basic idea, as in the papers [GLU2, GLU3, Le, PSS1], is to use a singula...

This paper reports on a small pilot project undertaken during May 2000 at the Department of Information Science, Loughborough University. The study considers student and staff evaluation of two electronic reader products which are available for purchase in the United Kingdom – NuvoMedia’s Rocket eBook (hardware and software) and Glassbook Inc’s Glassbook (software). As the paper concludes, alth...

Robot simulation and off-line programming seem likely to have an increasingly important role in the evolution of C IM facilities. This article considers the capabilities and shortcomings of the current generation of off-line programming and graphical simulation systems. Methods of overcoming problems associated with calibration, lack of ‘user friendliness’ and integration within manufacturing s...

Numerical simulations of the shallow water equations are used to study the e ect of topographic barriers on the tidal range in estuaries. The results show that the nonlinear advection terms in the momentum equations play very little role, and that the interaction between the tide and the topographic barriers is mostly due to the bottom friction, which is represented by the usual quadratic Chezy...
