A deliberately added impurity is called an additive and in different industries these affect the process of crystal growth. Thus, understanding of interactions between additives and the crystallizing phases is important in different processes found in the lab, nature and in various industries.

A Question of Balance: The President, the Congress and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mann, Thomas E., PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, In recent years, a more active and aggressive Congress has often sharply disagreed with the president over the ends and means of American foreign policy. The normal tensions that arise in the U.S. system of separate institutions sharing power have been exacerbated by the contemporary pattern of split-party control of the two branches. The ensuing conflict in areas ranging from Central America to China has stimulated a spirited debate about the constitutional authority and institutional competence of the president and Congress to make foreign policy. In this volume, noted authors, led by Thomas Mann, examine executive-legislative relations in five major policy areas: war powers, intelligence, arms control, diplomacy, and trade. They offer a fresh analysis of the sources and consequences of conflict between the President and Congress as well as constructive suggestions for strengthening each branch's comparative advantages.

The Theory of the Moire Phenomenon: Volume 2: Aperiodic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Amidror, Isaac, PUBLISHER: Springer London, This book presents for the first time the theory of the moirA(c) phenomenon between aperiodic or random layers. It is a complementary, yet stand-alone companion to the original volume by the same author, which was dedicated to the moirA(c) effects that occur between periodic or repetitive layers. Just like the first volume, this book provides a full general purpose and application-independent exposition of the subject. It leads the reader through the various phenomena which occur in the superposition of correlated aperiodic layers, both in the image and in the spectral domains. Throughout the whole text the book favours a pictorial, intuitive approach which is supported by mathematics, and the discussion is accompanied by a large number of figures and illustrative examples, some of which are visually attractive and even spectacular. The prerequisite mathematical background is limited to an elementary familiarity with calculus and with the Fourier theory.

Government for the Future Cea 238unification Fragmentation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andersson, Ake E. / Harsman, B. / Quigley, J. M., PUBLISHER: Emerald Group Publishing, The aim of this volume is to encourage comparative explorations of the links between economic regionalism and government behaviour. At present, the relation between government and the economy is in a state of flux. In the old "developed" world, supranational organizations such as the EU and the WTO, are exerting more influence over economic life. Simultaneously, regional governments have emerged to provide public services to local populations. In some European countries, economic decision making is no longer in the power of the nation state, but has been transfered to international and local organizations. The papers in this volume have been contributed by a broad range of policy makers, journalists, and academics. Theories of the public sector are reviewed, restructured and extended, in order to cover the new spatial and dynamic situation. The volume provides historical and institutional perspectives on the public sector, and presents empirical case studies of the public sectors in Sweden, USA, Belgium, Malaysia, England and Singapore.
