          Book Description

          This volume contains the basic documents on the international regulation of doping in sport (non-governmental part). Included are the IOC Medical Code, which is a guiding instrument and model for the international sports world, and the doping regulations of the international Olympic sports federations. Relevant provisions in the Statutes and Constitutions and in the competition regulations of the international Olympic sports organisations complete this collection of basic documents on doping. All texts included are reproduced in the version that was valid at the time of the World Conference on Doping in Sport, 2-4 February 1999, Lausanne (Switzerland). Doping Rules of International Sports Organisations provides an invaluable source of reference for sports officials, legal practitioners and the academic world. It is an indispensable tool for any possible international unification, harmonisation or further approximation of the rules on doping in sport.

                            Book Description

                            Kathleen McArthur and Judith Wright shared a passionate interest in wildflowers and conversation. Their letters refer to rare finds on their wildflowering excursions and to inventive projects for saving the environment. Kathleen's exquisite paintings helped fund their conservation campaigns, and her books won design awards.While Judith Wright moved in the public realm, Kathleen worked from her home near the beach and her beloved wallum country. When author Margaret Somerville met her in 1991 she was still painting and writing, and continued to produce a monthly play for the Lunch Hour Theatre well into her eighties.In Wildflowering the conversations between Kathleen and Margaret circle out from Kathleen's life and her home, Midyim, to explore the places that were significant to her. Journeying outward from garden to beach to Cooloola and Pumicestone Passage, Margaret Somerville discovers her own place in these landscapes.

                              Book Description

                              This book was primarily written for an audience that has heard about neural networks or has had some experience with the algorithms, but would like to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental material. For those that already have a solid grasp of how to create a neural network application, this work can provide a wide range of examples of nuances in network design, data set design, testing strategy, and error analysis.

                              Computational, rather than artificial, modifiers are used for neural networks in this book to make a distinction between networks that are implemented in hardware and those that are implemented in software. The term artificial neural network covers any implementation that is inorganic and is the most general term. Computational neural networks are only implemented in software but represent the vast majority of applications.

                              While this book cannot provide a blue print for every conceivable geophysics application, it does outline a basic approach that has been used successfully.

                              Book Description

                              The disciplines of optoelectronics and microwaves have been proliferating for many years yet the crucial issues influencing the design and fabrication of devices, and their applications remain fully to be explored. As the technology develops, there will be a need for more powerful, flexible and efficient analysis/design tools. This series intends to cover the emerging techniques underlying these new tools, specifically the theory of waveguiding and electromagnetic wave propagation.

                              Optical waveguide analysis is becoming both popular and indispensable in the design of various optical devices at a small cost of time and labour. Development of circuit simulators, which are common in electronic and microwave-circuit design in industries, is still required for optical integrated circuits.

                              This book is the first to present the comprehensive treatments of numerical analysis of optical waveguides and circuits, and is the summary of the research investigations made at Hosei University, Japan. It will also provide some powerful numerical techniques for a design tool of optical circuits.

                              5 out of 5 stars Good book for BPM analysis.......2006-11-10

                              This is a really nice book. I think it covers everything you need to know about BPM. I also recommend Kawano's waveguide analysis book.

                              4 out of 5 stars Well worth having.......2003-09-09

                              This slender volume attempts to present, as the preface says, a detailed review of the most important numerical analysis techniques for calculating modes and beam propagation in optical waveguides and fibers. If that's what you're after and you're not already expert in this area, it's well worth buying. The authors are both long-time practioners of these arcane arts in major Japanese firms, and it shows. On the other hand, it was originally written in Japanese and the authors are industrial researchers, not teachers; and to some extent that shows also. But I'm glad to have it, haven't encountered anything better in this area, and have no hesitation in recommending it.

                                This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A126424. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: In this thesis, the ocean was modeled as a wave-guide with an ideal pressure - release surface, and an ideal rigid bottom. The ocean wave-guide was then treated as a linear, time - invariant, space - variant (TISV) filter or communication channel. The filter is time - invariant because no motion was modeled and because the properties of the ocean were assumed to be constant. The filter is space variant because of the presence of the two boundaries, that is, the ocean surface and ocean bottom. This thesis investigates the ocean as a linear TISV filter by evaluating 1) the complex frequency response, 2) the impulse response, and 3) the transfer function of the ocean with respect to depth. It is shown that the TISV impulse response of the ocean contains information that can be used to help localize a target in range and whether the target is above or below the receiver. Computer simulation results were obtained by evaluation the three filter functions for several different test cases.

                                This in-depth, self-contained introduction to optical waveguide analysis, will be of great use to engineers and researchers in all fields using guided-wave optics--from fiber optics communication to integrated optical electronics. Part one examines various analytic approximation methods for three-layer optical dielectric waveguides, uniform core optical fiber, and 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides. Part two details the finite-element method--a numerical technique for cases in which approximation methods are inadequate. Numerous illustrative examples demonstrate the analysis of 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides, axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric optical fibers, and nonlinear optical waveguides.

                                        A comprehensive but practical analysis methodology for treating optical fibre waveguides is presented in this book. It is designed for both college students and practicing scientists and engineers. The book presents a framework which treats the light waveguide as a continuum of polarizing
                                        devices, to which a multitude of analysis techniques are applied. A more rigorous but easy-to-grasp mathematical arrangement is developed in Parts II and III, for analyzing an all di-electric or metallic, 1D or 2D optical stratum. This basic technique is extended in Part IV to cover a general 2D or
                                        3D curved optical fibre waveguide for which both the propagative and radiative far-field distributions, together with a set of characteristic equations and their solutions, are established. Similar to these simplified straight or curvilinear guidance structures, an elliptic waveguide or a fibre with
                                        the D-shaped cladding, may be characterized analytically, but approximately, as demonstrated in Part V. Also included in Part V is the so-called finite element analysis as a distinctive alternative numerical computation method for analysing a more arbitrary fibre waveguide exhibiting an obvious
                                        irregularity or anisotropy.

                                          British Literature 1640-1789: An Anthology covers the period between the British Civil War and the French Revolution. It includes the works of a great many authors and provides an invitingly wide variety of genres, forms, opinions, viewpoints, and styles. Canonical literary works are extensively represented and most texts are reprinted in their entirety including, for example, Aphra Behn's Oronooko and John Milton's Paradise Lost from first editions, or in the earliest recoverable versions. Other major works include: Daniel Defoe's The Shortest Way with Dissenters, Oliver Goldsmith's The Deserted Village, Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad, Jonathan Swift's A Tale of a Tub and A Modest Proposal, Samuel Johnson's The History of Rasselas. Selections from contemporary documents (such as court reports) are used to illuminate important cultural and social issues at particular points of history. A central aim has been to represent the period in a way that would have been more recognizable to people who lived at the time than the more conventional collection of great works of literature might do. By including the literature of private life and public life - letters, political ballads, broadsides, mock-epic poetry - DeMaria helps us to revise our sense of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Review the book here, not the seller!.......2005-10-25

                                          Note that the first reviewer, below, gives a one-star review of his experience buying the book, not the book itself. This seems to me an unfair (if unintentional) trashing of a pretty decent anthology.

                                          Shipment was delayed again and again and was so late that I eventually cancelled this order.
