Abstract

This book is addressed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate students involved in research in atomic, molecular, and optical Physics. It will also be useful to researchers practising in this field. It gives an intuitive, yet sufficiently detailed and rigorous introduction to light-atom interactions with a particular emphasis on the symmetry aspects of the interaction, especially those associated with the angular momentum of atoms and light. The book will enable readers to carry out practical calculations on their own, and is richly illustrated with examples drawn from current research topics, such as resonant nonlinear magneto-optical effects. The book comes with a software package for a variety of atomic-physics calculations and further interactive examples that is freely downloadable from the book's web page, as well as additional materials (such as power-point presentations) available to instructors who adopt the text for their courses.

Abstract

Ce livre prend position sur les enjeux et les visées des œuvres d’art en matière de vérité et de morale : il répond, par un retour sur l’époque des Lumières, aux questions contemporaines sur l’idée d’un perfectionnement moral de l’individu (S. Cavell, M. Nussbaum, S. Laugier). Les Lumières ont mis au cœur de la création artistique les émotions, les affects et les sentiments, mues par la conviction de l’efficacité d’une éducation esthétique de l’homme, d’une éducation sensible par le sensible, en l’occurrence par les œuvres. La vérité a-t-elle un sens en matière artistique ? Notre besoin d’art est-il lié à notre conviction qu’elles nous rendent meilleurs et nous font mieux connaître le monde ? L’autonomie de l’œuvre, la liberté du créateur, la dévaluation de tout canon au nom d’un global turn qui contraint au relativisme rendent aujourd’hui difficile cette affirmation. Et la sincérité de l’auteur ne saurait être un argument, tant elle tombe sous le coup d’un soupçon préjudiciel. La critique, elle, pourrait-elle prétendre au vrai ? Mais il y a plusieurs interprétations possibles d’une œuvre, plusieurs interprétations qui touchent juste, au sens où l’on dit d’une voix qu’elle est juste, d’un vêtement qu’il tombe bien. À partir de quelques études de cas, Danièle Cohn revient sur l’idée d’une fin de l’art (A. Danto) et propose de fonder jugement artistique et jugement esthétique sur la justesse.

Abstract

This volume is a collection of essays written in honour of Martin G. Abegg from a range of contributors with expertise in Second Temple Jewish literature in reflection upon Prof. Abegg s work. These essays are arranged according to four topics that deal with various aspects of text, language and interpretation of the Qumran "War Scroll," and concepts of war and peace in Second Temple Jewish literature. The contents of the volume are divided into the following four main sections: (1) The "War Scroll," (2) War and Peace in the Hebrew Scriptures, (3) War and Peace in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and (4) War and Peace in early Jewish and Christian texts and interpretation."

Abstract

Unique in its genre and content, the War Scroll (1QM) presents a vision of an impending eschatological war. Although originally interpreted as being the product of a single author from the Qumran Sect, the composition's inconsistencies quickly led to the view that it is in fact an eclectic document with an elaborate compositional history. Yet all such theories were formulated prior to the publication of War Scroll-like texts from Caves 4 and 11. A careful re-examination of the War Scroll suggests instead that what began as a primitive and cohesive composition from the Hellenistic period about a two-stage conquest of the world was eventually updated in order to fit the new historical realities faced by the sectarians under Roman rule.

Abstract

In this book, the author embodies her many years of experience as a practitioner and teacher of lighting design. She articulates basic planning rules for the outdoor lighting of buildings, traffic routes, and squares, and presents and elucidates new artificial lighting systems and outdoor lamps with the help of examples. The face of the nocturnal metropolis is marked decisively by light, and the number and variety of the light sources is increasing to the point of "light terror." A well-lit urban space can be very inviting, giving residents and visitors a sense of well-being and security. A successful lighting design can also give the city at night an identity of its own and accentuate architectural qualities. In this book, the author embodies her many years of experience as a practitioner and teacher of lighting design. In preparation, she visited ten European cities - including Paris, Brussels, Berlin, London, Budapest, Vienna, and Amsterdam - with different urban situations. This has enabled her to present different planning and design tasks systematically and to illustrate specific solutions. In addition to articulating basic planning rules for the outdoor lighting of buildings, traffic routes, and squares, she presents and elucidates new artificial lighting systems and outdoor lamps with the help of examples.

Abstract

Plants utilize light not only for photosynthesis but also as environmental signals. They are capable of perceiving wavelength, intensity, direction, duration, and other attributes of light to perform appropriate physiological and developmental changes. This volume presents overviews of and the latest findings in many of the interconnected aspects of plant photomorphogenesis, including photoreceptors (phytochromes, cryptochromes, and phototropins), signal transduction, photoperiodism, and circadian rhythms, in 42 chapters. Also included, is a prologue by Prof. Masaki Furuya that gives an overview of the historical background. With contributions from preeminent researchers in specific subjects from around the world, this book will be a valuable source for a range of scientists from undergraduate to professional levels.

Abstract

This volume presents up-to-date surveys of many aspects of rough surface scattering that are relevant to the scattering of electromagnetic waves from surfaces with nanoscale roughness. Both the direct and inverse scattering problems are considered, perturbative and computational approaches to their solution are described, and experimental methods and results are discussed.
