Polarized America, second edition
Author: Nolan McCarty
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262528622
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Updated analysis of how the increasing polarization of American politics has been accompanied and accelerated by greater income inequality. The idea of America as politically polarized—that there is an unbridgeable divide between right and left, red and blue states—has become a cliché. What commentators miss, however, is that increasing polarization has been closely accompanied by fundamental social and economic changes—most notably, a parallel rise in income inequality. In this second edition of Polarized America, Nolan McCarty, Keith Poole, and Howard Rosenthal use the latest data to examine the relationships of polarization, wealth disparity, immigration, and other forces. They find that inequality feeds directly into political polarization, and polarization in turn creates policies that further increase inequality. Paul Krugman called the first edition of Polarized America “Important.... Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what's happening to America.” The second edition has been thoroughly brought up to date. All statistical analyses, tables, and figures have been updated with data that run through 2012 or 2014, and the text has been revised to reflect the latest evidence. The chapter on campaign finance has been completely rewritten (with Adam Bonica as coauthor); the analysis shows that with so much “soft” money coming from very wealthy ideological extremists, there is even greater campaign contribution inequality than income inequality.

Optical Fiber Sensor Technology
Author: L.S. Grattan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780412782909
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Progress in optical fiber sensors The field of optical fiber sensor technology is one that continues to expand and develop at a rate that could barely have been predicted a few years ago. The wealth of publications appearing in the technical literature and the burgeoning number of papers presented at the now well-established series of national and international conferences, which are attended by a wide selection of technically qualified optoelectronics professionals, gives a clear indication of both the range and scale of the devices and applications now seen in the subject. Such a rapid expansion makes it very difficult for the scientist and engineer, under pressure to be both informed and effective for an employer, to attend all these meetings, selectively read the appropriate literature and be able quickly to gain the knowledge in those specific areas which will give the best advantage for the work in hand. To that end, this volume has been planned and carefully designed to provide an essential overview, and detailed specific information, on those novel and exciting aspects of optical fiber sensor technology that have recently emerged, with particular focus on the devices and the exciting applications of this part of optoelectronic technology in the vast international measurement and instrumentation area.

Handbook of Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology
Author: Yoshio Nishi
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780824787837
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1186
Book Description
The Handbook of Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology describes the individual processes and manufacturing control, support, and infrastructure technologies of silicon-based integrated-circuit manufacturing, many of which are also applicable for building devices on other semiconductor substrates. Discussing ion implantation, rapid thermal processing, photomask fabrication, chip testing, and plasma etching, the editors explore current and anticipated equipment, devices, materials, and practices of silicon-based manufacturing. The book includes a foreword by Jack S. Kilby, cowinner of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2000 "for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit."

Technical Digest - Symposium on Optical Fiber Measurements, 1998
Author: G. W. Day
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 9780788183744
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Digest of a Symposium sponsored by the Nat. Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in cooperation with the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Soc. and the Optical Soc. of Amer. The Symposium consists of 10 invited and 34 contributed papers. Recent events have brought multimode fiber issues back into the measurement arena. Polarization-mode dispersion continues to be a topic of much interest with 2 full sessions devoted to a variety of subtopics in the field. Fiber geometry has several contributions, as does the broad topic of fiber mapping with length (including such parameters as chromatic dispersion and polarization properties).
