This timely and valuable book provides a detailed pedagogical introduction and treatment of the brane-localized gravity program of Randall and Sundrum, in which gravitational signals are able to localize around our four-dimensional world in the event that it is a brane embedded in an infinitely-sized, higher dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk space. A completely self-contained development of the material needed for brane-world studies is provided for both students and workers in the field, with a significant amount of the material being previously unpublished. Particular attention is given to issues not ordinarily treated in the brane-world literature, such as the completeness of tensor gravitational fluctuation modes, the causality of brane-world propagators, and the status of the massless graviton fluctuation mode in brane worlds in which it is not normalizable.

The book provides a review of scientific research on the learning outcomes of students with limited or no proficiency in English in U.S. schools. Research on students in kindergarten to grade 12 is reviewed. The primary chapters of the book focus on these students' acquisition of oral language skills in English, their development of literacy (reading & writing) skills in English, instructional issues in teaching literacy, and achievement in academic domains (i.e., mathematics, science, and reading). The reviews and analyses of the research are relatively technical with a focus on research quality, design characteristics, and statistical analyses. The book provides a set of summary tables that give details about each study, including full references, characteristics of the students in the research, assessment tools and procedures, and results. A concluding chapter summarizes the major issues discussed and makes recommendations about particular areas that need further research.

This textbook offers a detailed and uniquely self-contained presentation of quantum and gauge field theories. Writing from a modern perspective, the author begins with a discussion of advanced dynamics and special relativity before guiding students steadily through the fundamental principles of relativistic quantum mechanics and classical field theory. This foundation is then used to develop the full theoretical framework of quantum and gauge field theories. The introductory, opening half of the book allows it to be used for a variety of courses, from advanced undergraduate to graduate level, and students lacking a formal background in more elementary topics will benefit greatly from this approach. Williams provides full derivations wherever possible and adopts a pedagogical tone without sacrificing rigour. Worked examples are included throughout the text and end-of-chapter problems help students to reinforce key concepts. A fully worked solutions manual is available online for instructors.

Looks at the operations of the International Space Station from the perspective of the Houston flight control team, under the leadership of NASA's flight directors, who authored the book. The book provides insight into the vast amount of time and energy that these teams devote to the development, planning and integration of a mission before it is executed. The passion and attention to detail of the flight control team members, who are always ready to step up when things do not go well, is a hallmark of NASA human spaceflight operations. With tremendous support from the ISS program office and engineering community, the flight control team has made the International Space Station and the programs before it a success.

More than 60 authors – supreme and high court judges, law professors, legal specialists in corporate and private practice – from Europe, East Asia, and the United States contribute original essays to this excellent compilation of the current issues regarding the laws and practices in intellectual property in Europe and Japan. The articles cover a broad spectrum of subjects, including the procedural implications of litigation, international jurisdiction, doctrines of exhaustion, utility model systems and practice, and employed inventor’s compensation, as well as the special aspects of pharmaceutical patenting such as obtaining supplementary protection certificates. Many of the articles also include a comparative analysis of the laws and practices in both geographical regions or deal with the same legal issues but in different jurisdictions, for instance: the reform of the Japanese judicial system to establish an IP-based nation; the role of patent firms in the economic development of Japan; disclosure requirements in Japan: a judge's view; I.P. High Court decisions on inventive step; international jurisdiction in Japan, Europe and the United States; patent infringement by multiple parties in Japan; patent exhaustion in Japan; corporate remuneration systems for employees' inventions in Japan and Germany; the present and future of Japan's utility model system; notable differences between Korean and German patent infringement and invalidation practices; fifteen years of the Eurasian Patent System; the future European and EU Patents Court; opposition proceedings at the EPO: tips for success; the interaction between infringement and invalidity decisions in German patent disputes; protection of confidential information in patent litigation in the UK and Germany; interpretation and determination of the scope of patents by the French Courts; provocative thoughts on the patenting of new pharmaceuticals; Obama Care: implications for research pharmaceutical companies; and many others.

This book provides a representative sampling of the latest advances in theoretical physics. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with the Hydrogen atom. In Chapter 1, Blaive and Cadilhac carry out an analysis of hydrogenoid atomic wave functions. In Chapter 2, Boudet, Blaive Geniyes and Vanel carry out a relativistic calculation with retardation of the photoelectric effect of Hydrogen. Chapters 3 and 4 look at atoms in the presence of an external radiation field. Chapter 3 by Dastidar and Dastidar examines above-threshold ionisation of Argon in a laser field. In Chapter 4, Kazakov applies the Jaynes-Cummings model to an atom interacting simultaneously with a quasiresonant classical field and a quantised mode. Quantum dynamical problems are addressed in Chapters 5 and 6. In Chapter 5, Baute, Egusquiza and Muga study the effect of negative and classically-forbidden momenta in one-dimensional quantum scattering. Chapter 6 by Bellini finds analytical solutions to reaction-diffusion equations by mapping on a time-independent Schrödinger equation. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to nuclear and particle physics. In Chapter 7, Kravchenko and Soznik obtain the nucleon-nucleus optical potential in the nuclear matter approximation with the generalised Skyrme interaction. In Chapter 8, Terasaki examines non-factorisable contributions in decays. The final three chapters contain various mathematical studies which are of interest to theoretical physics in general. In Chapter 9, Shiqing analyses the equations of motion for the Newtonian n-body problem. Riazi looks at the geometry and topology of solitons in Chapter 10, and the book concludes with Chapter 11 containing a study by Elipe of the rotations of perturbed triaxial rigid bodies.
