A review of nanoplasmonics is given. This includes fundamentals, nanolocalization of optical energy and hot spots, ultrafast nanoplasmonics and control of the spatiotemporal nanolocalization of optical fields, and quantum nanoplasmonics (spaser and gain plasmonics). This chapter reviews both fundamental theoretical ideas in nanoplasmonics and selected experimental developments. It is designed b...

The paper addresses a broad readership in information technology, computer science and related areas, and gives an introduction to fine grain and coarse grain morphware, reconfigurable computing, and its impact on classical computer science and business models. It points out trends driven by microelectronics technology, EDA, and the mind set of datastream-based computing. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All...

Abstract The past decade has seen the appearance of a number Chinese publications relevant to readership Indo-Iranian Journal . This article briefly introduces some those publications, dealing mostly with Buddhist sources, primarily in Sanskrit, Khotanese and Middle Indic.

The challenges for scientific journals at the beginning of 21st century are exciting but beginning of 21st century are exciting but formidable. In addition to reporting faith-formidable. In addition to reporting faithfully new knowledge and new ideas, each fully new knowledge and new ideas, each journal, or at least all those aiming for a journal, or at least all those aiming for a general read...

Airspace sectorisation provides a partition of a given airspace into sectors, subject to geometric constraints and workload constraints, so that some cost metric is minimised. We survey the algorithmic aspects of methods for automatic airspace sectorisation, for an intended readership of experts on air traffic management.

The authors present a technique paper on the utilization of both ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance for injections about the hip joint. This review draws from specialists including physiatry, family medicine and orthopaedic surgery. We hope the editors and reviewers find this document beneficial to the readership, especially those practicing musculoskeletal medicine and may use this informatio...

The introduction is equally very clear. It provides a strong clinical rationale for the study, citing relevant literature to highlight the clinical 'problem' to be addressed, and the existing evidence base in this area. The intervention development approach (i.e. MRC guidance, and BCW) is also introduced in sufficient, concise detail for the readership of Implementation Science, who are likely ...

“With his book, Hasler contributes to a deserving, critical confrontation with neuroscience. He shows his readership quite plainly where the limits of the neuro-hype lie, points out overblown promises and, using this as an example, demonstrates how astute science policy can be carried out with a new field of research.” Reinhard Kreissl, Kriminologisches Journal (Journal of Criminology), 46/1 (2...

A review of quantum and gain nanoplasmonics is given. This includes spaser and plasmonic gain, amplification, and loss compensation. This Chapter reviews both fundamental theoretical ideas in quantum and gain nanoplasmonics and selected experimental developments. It is designed both for specialists in the field and general physics readership.
