Zeta and $L$-functions play a central role in number theory. They provide important information of arithmetic nature. This book, which grew out of the author's teaching over several years, explores the interaction between number theory and combinatorics using zeta and $L$-functions as a central theme. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account of these functions in a combinatorial setting and establishes, among other things, the combinatorial counterparts of celebrated results in number theory, such as the prime number theorem and the Chebotarev density theorem. The spectral theory...

Advances in Women's Intimate Apparel Technology discusses the design and manufacture of intimate apparel and how the industry is increasingly embracing novel materials, new technologies, and innovations in sizing and fit.

The book reviews the ways in which new materials and methods are improving the range, function, and quality of intimate apparel, with particular focus on brassiere design. Part One introduces the advanced materials used for intimate apparel, including novel fabrics and dyes and finishes, along with materials for wiring and embellishments. Part Two...

Polarization management is crucial to the design, implementation, and operation of optical devices. This thesis explores the use of stress engineering for manipulating birefringence in silicon-on-insulator based waveguide systems. Two schemes are proposed: one is to implement polarization insensitive waveguides using a stressed cladding overlayer, the other adapts the polarization diversity approach by introducing novel stress-based polarization splitters. Both theoretical study and experimental demonstrations of stress-based waveguide devices are presented.

The small, conservative town of Alton, Pennsylvania, is an unlikely choice of location for a beautiful woman with Lou Metcalf's background. She has moved here from New Jersey. It's known that her three children were born out-of-wedlock, fathers unidentified. Otherwise, her life is a mystery.

A troubled youth in ninth grade, her son, Derek, came under the wise counsel of Cal, the school janitor. Now a senior, Derek is student representative on the prestigious Alton Advisory Board. When Freddie, a new student and known trouble-maker is blamed for the school break-in, Derek comes to...

Lou birthed all three of her children out of wedlock. They live in a small, conservative town in the hills of western Pennsylvania, where townspeople hold to traditional values. The oldest child, Derek, is a high school student there, and his mother's shameful past has socially hindered him. Now, she's having an affair with one of the more upright citizens of Alton. The scandal brings out the worst-for a few, the best-in the citizens of Alton and further alienates mother and son.

Calvin, the elderly school janitor, has failed in his own education. A man of exceptional character, he...

Derek is in his second year of college. A conservative, young man from the small town of Alton, Pennsylvania, Derek commutes and has little interaction with the college crowd. His meeting with Salvatore Ridenti will change that.

Also in his second year of college, Salvatore is a foreign exchange student from Brazil. Sal has had a less conventional, worldlier background in his homeland. The trials and experiences these two face are met according to the personality of each. In spite of Derek's natural reserve and Sal's outgoing savvy, they find that they do, in fact, share similar...

How do you feel when you bite into a pear... wear a feather boa... stand in a noisy auditorium... or look for a friend in a crowd? Living Sensationally explains how people's individual sensory patterns affect the way we react to everything that happens to us throughout the day. Some people will adore the grainy texture of a pear, while others will shudder at the idea of this texture in their mouths. Touching a feather boa will be fun and luxurious to some, and others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. Noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and...

Many were called, but this story is about one woman. Winnie Rueff writes the true story of her life. In 1943, World War II was the topic in every part of society. We needed nurses, both for the War effort and for the citizens here at home in the U.S. One of the steps taken to mitigate the nursing shortage was the creation of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps. A congressional bill was introduced by Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton, a Republican from Ohio. The Bolton Act started in 1943 and continued until 1948. This Act was modified to make the Cadet Corps a non-discriminatory program. There were...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Deutsch - Padagogik, Didaktik, Sprachwissenschaft, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit untersucht Sprache an der Vorlage der Magazine "Women's Health" und "Men's Health." Hierbei wird vor allem darauf eingegangen wie die Sprachstile in Manner- und Frauenzeitschriften des selben Verlags absichtlich unterschiedlich gelenkt werden. Wie zu erwarten ist die Redaktion der "Women's Health" ausschlielich mit Frauen besetzt, die Ausnahme bildet nur ein freier Redakteur im Bereich Requisite. Bei der Men's Health ist naturlich auch der Groteil der...

The drive to succeed is a strong force in Western culture, and women are powerfully influenced by it. It is tempting to pursue triumphs that will impress the world, rather than achievements that will advance God's kingdom. In these studies, you'll meet fascinating historical women of the Bible who enjoyed worthy successes--women whose willingness to act upon God's leading made them achievers for him. Some well-known, some lesser known; some rich, some poor, these women came from all walks of life. Studying their stories will encourage you to become an influencer for God in your world.
