Download or read book Fundamentals and Frontiers of the Josephson Effect written by Francesco Tafuri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the Josephson effect, a topic of never-ending interest in both fundamental and applied physics. In this volume, world-renowned experts present the unique aspects of the physics of the Josephson effect, resulting from the use of new materials, of hybrid architectures and from the possibility of realizing nanoscale junctions. These new experimental capabilities lead to systems where novel coherent phenomena and transport processes emerge. All this is of great relevance and impact, especially when combined with the didactic approach of the book. The reader will benefit from a general and modern view of coherent phenomena in weakly-coupled superconductors on a macroscopic scale. Topics that have been only recently discussed in specialized papers and in short reviews are described here for the first time and organized in a general framework. An important section of the book is also devoted to applications, with focus on long-term, future applications. In addition to a significant number of illustrations, the book includes numerous tables for comparative studies on technical aspects.

Download or read book Digital Reading of Net Generation in China written by Han Zhang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the methodology of eye-tracking experiments, in-depth interviews, and large-scale questionnaires across cities, this book provides a panoramic vision of digital reading and social interaction among the new generations in China. Growing up under the background of social transformation, cultural integration, and technological progress, digital reading of the Chinese net generation presents complex characteristics. People born in the 1980s and 90s are better educated, have democratic consciousness, and have strong motivations for self-expression. Meanwhile, reading behaviours affect their content production, virtual identities, and socialization in the real world. The immense need for digital content fuels the digital reading industries. Internet literature, social media articles, reading apps, and e-reader devices have also benefited from media content and interface innovation in the market. This book provides a solid scientific foundation for reading promotion and guiding strategies in the context of digital media and offers empirical evidence for policy formulation of reading promotion and spiritual civilization in the digital age. The authors expand the perspective of communication studies on digital reading and analyze how the youth reads on digital devices and creates content for interest or profit. The book will be a great read for students and scholars of mass communication, media studies, and digital publishing.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment written by Rocio Fernandez-Ballesteros and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002-12-20 with total page 1209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ′once you let a clinical psychologist lay hands on this book, it is quite difficult to get it back again′ - Martin Guha, Librarian, Institute of Psychiatry, London The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment is a landmark reference work and constitutes a definitive resource for academics, practitioners and students working in any field of applied psychological science. Psychological assessment is a key component of psychological work. Devices of scientific assessment are necessary for adequate describing, diagnosis, predicting, explaining or changing the behaviour of all subjects under examination. This double-volume collection offers complete coverage to facilitate action in each of these areas and will consequently be invaluable to psychologists in any applied setting. The two volumes of the Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment contain a series of 235 entries, organized alphabetically, and covering a variety of fields. Each entry includes a general conceptual and methodological overview, a section on relevant assessment devices, followed by links to related concepts in the Encyclopedia and a list of references. The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment provides: - A comprehensive network for psychological assessment as a conceptual and methodological discipline, and as a professional activity - An overview of the complexity of assessment, which involves not only testing, but also a process of decision-making for answering relevant questions that arise in the different applied fields - A presentation of relevant issues from basic theory (theoretical perspectives, ethics) and methodology (validity, reliability, item response theory) to technology and modes of assessment (tests, instruments and equipment for measuring behavioral operations) - An attempt to unify this diverse field by offering full coverage of all areas from the most traditional, such as clinical, educational and work and organizational psychology, to the most recent applications linked to health, gerontology, neuropsychology, psychophysiology and environmental assessment. The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment offers a truly international perspective, both in terms of the selected authors and chosen entries. It aims to provide an integrated view of assessment, bringing together knowledge dispersed throughout several methodological and applied fields, but united in terms of its relevance for assessment. It is an essential purchase for any library with an existing collection or concern with the field of psychological science in general.

Download or read book Multiculturalism and Learning Style written by Rita Dunn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-08-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text synthesizes the research on the learning style characteristics of five culturally diverse groups: Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and European Americans. Although each of these groups has distinguishing features and differs from other groups on some of the 22 elements that constitute learning style, there are broad within-group variations that preclude generalizations. Dunn and Griggs identify a multidimensional model of learning style, describe a comprehensive assessment instrument for identifying an individual's learning style, and provide a variety of educational interventions that accommodate diverse learning style preferences.
