This book will employ physical modeling and mathematical derivation to develop an analytical theory for electromagnetic metasurface, which aims to deepen physical mechanisms and lays a solid theoretical foundation for further research on metasurfaces. Firstly, the book presents the general description of metasurface boundary conditions and key calculation methods, Secondly, the book develops the network transmission theory for multi-layer metasurface structures, yielding mathematical model...

Ferns are the most remarkable of plants, and their science is both complex and beautiful. Among our most ancient plants, they have a unique way of reproducing, and their story reveals much about our planet's evolution. Ferns tells a remarkable science story by tracing their origins to over 350 million years ago. It explores how ferns migrated from seat to land, how they sought light and interacted within ecosystems, how they survived mass extinctions, and what their ability to ada...

This sixth volume of the book series applies finite injury priority method to R-calculi and obtain (in)completeness theorem for binary-valued, Post three-valued, B2^2-valued and L4-valued first-order logics, and extend the method to infinite injury priority method and 0"-method for default logic to produce pseudo-extensions of a default theory, corresponding to different R-calculi. Finite injury priority method and tree constructions are discussed in this book. This book offers a ...

Mixed-flow PumpsModeling, Simulation, and MeasurementsLearn to improve and optimize the design and operation of mixed-flow pumpsMixed-flow pumps have a huge range of applications in agriculture, hydroelectric power, and other industries that incorporate fluid transport. They are centrifugal pumps incorporating the characteristics of both axial and radial pumps to increase the flow rate and discharge pressure. Though...
