Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started to walk down the hallway, and as I got to the front door, Taylor yelled at me, saying she was sorry. She started to walk toward me, but as she was walking, I saw something running toward her from behind, and as I did, I started to rush toward her. Taylor, hurry up and get over here! I yelled. She asked me what was wrong, and I yelled at her, saying, Behind you, someone is coming your way! Hurry up and get over here! Taylor looked behind her and saw what I saw, and she froze in fear. Damn it, Taylor, I said, worried. I ran to her and grabbed her hand, and we both started to run for the exit of the building. As we were running, Taylor stepped on the ground wrong, and her foot bent, making her trip. And as she did, she scratched my hand. I helped her up and then started to run until we got out the building. When we got out, I let go of Taylors hand to let her sit for a while, and I looked back inside to see if I could see whatever we were looking at again. I didnt see anything, but as I was looking, I heard what sounded like someone sniffling as if they were crying. I turned around, and when I did, I saw what I never wanted to see happen. Taylor was crying a little and holding her ankle on her right leg. I knelt down by her and asked her how bad it hurt, and she told me that it hurt really bad. I lifted up her pants leg, and I started to feel her ankle and rubbed it. I sighed and said, You sprained it by twisting it. How bad is it? she asked. Try to stand up. Taylor stood up, and as she did, she lost balance in her leg a little, and as she did, I grabbed her to hold her hand, and as I did, she saw my hand. She looked worried and asked me what happened to my hand. I told her it was nothing and that it was just a scratch, but she was insisted on knowing and said, Alex, What happened to your hand? I told her, When you fell, you scratched me, but its not bad. We need to get you to the car. What? The car? Why are we going to the car? Youre hurt bad. You need to get home and rest. What about you then? Im going to stay and finish up the investigation. No, youre not doing the investigation without me! Taylor, dont start, okay? Youre hurt, you need to rest, and you just need to clear your head. What about you, Alex? What do you need to do? Youve been letting this get to you all day. What is important about this ghost? There is nothing important about the ghost. Its just a ghost. Then why not wait until my leg gets better, and we can finish this investigation?
Download or read book The History of Modern Astronomy in Japan written by Tomokazu Kogure and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the history of modern astronomy and astrophysics in Japan by comparing with the development of astrophysics in western countries. Astrophysics essentially arose in three separate fields: astronomical spectroscopy, stellar structure, and survey of celestial objects. This book introduces readers to the state of astronomy back to the Tokugawa era (18th – 19th centuries), when the chief task of astronomers was limited to the calendar making. With the so-called Meiji revolution (1868), the situation drastically changed. The Meiji Government promoted the modernization of Japan by hiring numbers of foreign instructors in political, social, and cultural affairs, including Construction of Observatory and University. Then the foreign studies of Japanese researchers lasted for many years. After the Second World War, Japan experienced great social and economical growth allowing the constructions of large optical, radio, and space instruments. With this background astrophysics progressed and eventually flourished. The book ends by highlighting Japanese contributions to international collaboration up to the early 21st century. Readers of this book will understand how astrophysics has grown into one of the major sciences in Japan, and how the works of individual astronomers are contributing to the global advancement of knowledge of the universe.

Download or read book Physics Fabrication and Applications of Multilayered Structures written by Claude Weisbuch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-dimensional materials are of fundamental interest in physics and chemistry and have also found a wide variety of technological applica tions in fields ranging from microelectronics to optics. Since 1986, several seminars and summer schools devoted to low-dimensional systems have been supported by NATO. The present one, Physics, Fabrication and Applications of Multilayered structures, brought together specialists from different fields in order to review fabrication techniques, charac terization methods, physics and applications. Artificially layered materials are attractive because alternately layering two (or more) elements, by evaporation or sputtering, is a way to obtain new materials with (hopefully) new physical properties that pure materials or alloys do not allow. These new possibilities can be ob tained in electronic transport, optics, magnetism or the reflectivity of x-rays and slow neutrons. By changing the components and the thickness of the layers one can track continuously how the new properties appear and follow the importance of the multilayer structure of the materials. In addition, with their large number of interfaces the study of inter face properties becomes easier in multilayered structures than in mono layers or bilayers. As a rule, the role of the interface quality, and also the coupling between layers, increases as the thickness of the layer decreases. Several applications at the development stage require layer thicknesses of just a few atomic layers.
Download or read book Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures written by Sadamichi Maekawa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In magnetic systems of nano-meter size, the interplay between spin and charge of electrons provides unique transport phenomena. In magnetic superlattices, magnetic and non-magnetic metallic thin films with thickness of the order of one nano-meter are piled-up alternately. Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in these superlattices in 1988, spin dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures have received much attention from both academic and technological points of view. Ferromagnetic tunnel junctions made of ferromagnetic metal electrodes and a very thin insulating barrier between them are also of current interest as magnetoresistive devices, where the tunneling current depends on the relative orientation of magnetization (TMR). In addition to magnetic superlattices and magnetic tunnel junctions, magnetic granular systems and magnetic dots have been studied extensively as magnetoresistive systems. Edited by two of the world's leading authorities, Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures introduces and explains the basic physics and applications of a variety of spin-dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures with particular emphasis on magnetic multilayers and magnetic tunnel junctions.

Download or read book Sculpting the Buddha Within written by Shuri Kido and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of Shinjo Ito, the founder of one of the main traditions of Buddhism, which has almost 1 million members worldwide. This is the first major biography of Shinjo Ito, the founder of the Shinnyo-en tradition of Buddhism and one of the twentieth century’s most innovative spiritual teachers. Shinjo was schooled in the millennium-old esoteric Buddhism of Japan, and used that as the basis for developing a unique lay practice grounded in the principles and concepts of the Mahayana version of the Nirvana Sutra. Sculpting the Buddha Within is an important book that traces Shinjo Ito’s evolution not only as a spiritual master but also as a human being. Living in a time of unprecedented change, Shinjo Ito’s personal life was often marked by hardships and personal grief, experiences that became the foundation for cultivating universal compassion. Committed to making buddhahood tangible for others and a goal worth aspiring to, Shinjo Ito also excelled as a sculptor of devotional images. His wish was to help his practitioners see their own potential for goodness so that they, too, would want to work diligently to shape and give form to their inner buddha. Rather than encouraging his followers to believe in a fixed system of practice or beliefs, Shinjo Ito taught how to live life in accordance with one’s buddha nature—and the gratitude, creativity, and happiness latent within it.
