This volume, arising from a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Greece in 1997, surveys latest research on computational electromagnetics and its applications. It presents the fundamental methods developed in the last 30 years as well as applications and comparisons of the various methods. Seven parts cover the following topics: integral equation techniques and method of moments solutions, finite element and boundary element techniques, finite difference time domain methods, transmission line methods, inverse scattering problems, semi-analytical and special numerical techniques, and...

The technology surrounding the design and fabrication of optical microresonators has matured to a point where there is a need for commercialization. Consequently, there is a need for device research involving more advanced architectures and more esoteric operating principles. Photonic Microresonator Research and Applications explores advances in the fabrication process that enable nanometer waveguide separations, exceptionally smooth surfaces essential to reach Q factors in the order of 10^6- 10⁸ and high index contrast materials.

Many EU cities are experiencing increasing problems with their water pipeline infrastructure. The cost of replacing these old, worn-out systems, if left to deteriorate beyond repair, is astronomical and clearly beyond the resources of many communities. Replacement, however, is not the only choice as many of these systems can be rehabilitated at 30 to 70 percent of the cost of replacement. Accordingly, resources are now increasingly being allocated to address pipeline rehabilitation management issues. Due to the emphasis on sustainable management, risk-based approaches for the rehabilitation...
