This book is a rigorous introduction to the characterization of composite materials by means of ultrasonic waves. Composites are treated here not simply as uniform media, but as inhomogeneous layered anisotropic media with internal structure characteristic of composite laminates. The objective here is to concentrate on exposing the singular behavior of ultrasonic waves as they interact with layered, anisotropic materials, materials which incorporate those structural elements typical of composite laminates. This book provides a synergistic description of both modeling and experimental methods in addressing wave propagation phenomena and composite property measurements. After a brief review of basic composite mechanics, a thorough treatment of ultrasonics in anisotropic media is presented, along with composite characterization methods. The interaction of ultrasonic waves at interfaces of anisotropic materials is discussed, as are guided waves in composite plates and rods. Waves in layered media are developed from the standpoint of the "Stiffness Matrix", a major advance over the conventional, potentially unstable Transfer Matrix approach. Laminated plates are treated both with the stiffness matrix and using Floquet analysis. The important influence on the received electronic signals in ultrasonic materials characterization from transducer geometry and placement are carefully exposed in a dedicated chapter. Ultrasonic wave interactions are especially susceptible to such influences because ultrasonic transducers are seldom more than a dozen or so wavelengths in diameter. The book ends with a chapter devoted to the emerging field of air-coupled ultrasonics. This new technology has come of age with the development of purpose-built transducers and electronics and is finding ever wider applications, particularly in the characterization of composite laminates.

Contributions by José Alaniz, Michelle Bumatay, Sika Dagbovie-Mullins, Michael Kobre, Samantha Langsdale, Sheng-mei Ma, John Edward Martin, Peter Nagy, Anna F. Peppard, and Alison Wellford Origin Stories: Fans, Scholars, and the Superhero Comics That Shaped Their Identities brings together a diverse group of scholars, writers, and comics fans to explore how superhero comics intersect with questions of identity, belonging, and difference. Blending personal narrative with critical analysis, these essays reveal how readers—especially those marginalized by race, gender, sexuality, or class—have found themselves reflected in the transformative, shape-shifting world of comics. From Spider-Man and the Hulk to the sexually fluid cast of Strangers in Paradise, the contributors examine how comic book characters and stories have helped them navigate family dynamics, societal expectations, and personal desires. Bold, accessible, and deeply researched, the essays highlight how superhero comics offer a space where even the most rigid cultural norms can be disrupted and reimagined. Featuring both established voices and emerging writers, including one essay in comics form, Origin Stories will resonate with scholars, fans, and readers of creative nonfiction alike. Drawing on the work of such leading theorists as Frederick Luis Aldama, Ramzi Fawaz, Darieck Scott, and Scott McCloud, this collection charts a new path in comics studies—one grounded in lived experience, critical insight, and the transformative power of the superhero form.

Following the considerable success of the first edition of Plant Virology Protocols, this exciting new edition covers the many new techniques that are now applied to the examination and understanding of plant viruses. Each section of Plant Virology Protocols, Second Edition presents the most novel methods and protocols to allow researchers more effective approaches to study plant viruses. The many subjects covered in this important new edition range from techniques for investigating viral nucleic acid sequence, protein analysis and investigation of protein function, techniques for microscopy/GFP visualization and analysis/protein tagging/generation of infectious clones and other such tools, as well as areas of genomics and interactions with host factors and plant-based studies. Plant Virology Protocols, Second Edition: From viral sequence to protein function is indispensable to laboratory investigators studying plant viruses.

In this book the theory of binary systems is considered as a part of group theory and, in particular, within the framework of Lie groups. The novelty is the consequent treatment of topological and differentiable loops as topological and differentiable sections in Lie groups. The interplay of methods and tools from group theory, differential geometry and topology, symmetric spaces, topological geometry, and the theory of foliations is what gives a special flavour to the results presented in this book. It is the first monograph devoted to the study of global loops. So far books on differentiable loops deal with local loops only. This theory can only be used partially for the theory of global loops since non-associative local structures have, in general, no global forms.The text is addressed to researchers in non-associative algebra and foundations of geometry. It should prove enlightening to a broad range of readers, including mathematicians working in group theory, the theory of Lie groups, in differential and topological geometry, and in algebraic groups.The authors have produced a text that is suitable not only for a graduate course, but also for selfstudy in the subjectby interested graduate students. Moreover, the material presented can be used for lectures and seminars in algebra, topological algebra and geometry.
