By Olivier Vanbesien(auth.)

This booklet addresses synthetic fabrics together with photonic crystals (PC) and metamaterials (MM).

The first half is dedicated to layout ideas: unfavorable permeability and permittivity for damaging refraction, periodic buildings, transformation optics.

The moment half matters notebook and MM in cease band regime: from cavities, publications to excessive impedance surfaces. irregular refraction, under one and adverse, in workstation and MM are studied in a 3rd half, addressing super-focusing and cloaking.

Applications for telecommunications, lasers and imaging platforms also are explored.

Virtual Freedom: Net Neutrality and Free Speech in the Internet Age

Communications giants like Google, Comcast, and AT&T take pleasure in more and more unchecked regulate over speech. As services of broadband entry and web se's, they could regulate on-line expression. Their on-line content material restrictions—from obstructing e mail to censoring cablecasts—are thought of criminal as a result of contemporary alterations in loose speech legislation.

Dualism in Qumran

This can be an evaluate of dualistic considering within the Qumran fabric written by way of prime participants within the mild of 2 a long time of Qumran study. the significance of dualistic pondering in the ''Dead Sea Scrolls'' has continuously been emphasized in ''Qumran Studies''. however, within the final twenty years the examine on Qumran dualism turns out to were at the margins of scholarly curiosity.

Beyond Deep Blue: Chess in the Stratosphere

Greater than a decade has handed due to the fact that IBM’s Deep Blue computing device shocked the area by means of defeating Garry Kasparov, the area chess champion at the moment. Following Deep Blue’s retirement, there was a succession of higher and higher chess taking part in desktops, or chess engines, and this present day there's little doubt that the world’s top engines are enhanced on the online game than the world’s most sensible human avid gamers.

Limitations L As we w can see, thee methods enaabling us to reetrieve the efffective param meters of a material are numerouus. Sometimes, according to literature, the same appproach is given diifferent acronyyms. In generral, each acro onym relates to t a hypothessis that is 28 Artificial Materials forgotten later on. In the same way, the notion of effective parameters is only meant to be true when the relevant dimensions of structure are very small compared to the operating wavelength; in other words, when the material is homogenizable.

We will define this plane as a “transverse plane”. With two dimensions, we can decompose all the propagations modes in two classes of independent polarizations: TM (transverse magnetic, also called “s”) and TE (transverse electric, also called “p”). With two dimensions, the equations of the components of the field perpendicular to the defined plan are decoupled. 2 illustrates both modes of propagation and the relevant field components in each case. 2. 3. 1. Dimensionality issues Fabricated three-dimensional geometries, such as woodpile structures or Yablonovite, or natural geometries, such as opals, present interesting potentialities in terms of applications.

So the passage from one mode to another is not caused by a continuous increase in mode energy but by an energy jump, from ε1|E0|2 to ε2|E0|2. From the point of view of frequencies, a mode’s energy at an angular frequency of ω is the product of a number of photons in this mode by the quantum ħω. This energy jump corresponds to a frequency jump: the band gap. We can conclude by saying that in the case of a one-dimensional structure, a gap opens between each band. It is all the more important that the permittivity contrast is great.
