Theoretical foundations of nanoscale quantum devices

נושאים

Quantum theory

תיאור/תקציר

"In this book, we build a toolset useful for designing, controlling, and understanding the operation of such devices. Understanding of nature is based on simplified models with varying degrees of complexity that can be easily manipulated and observed. Our motivation behind this book is to show that such models of nanoscale quantum devices can be used to understand their operation and to optimize their performance. We achieve this goal by adopting quantum mechanics for the description of nanoscale devices. This book is an attempt to bring widely spread diverse theoretical tools under a single volume that should prove useful for both graduate students and scientists or engineers interested in using nanoscale quantum devices for various applications. Many books cover distinct areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology separately. This book is not intended to replace them but to complement them. The book content is the toolset that authors use in their day-to-day research work as active researchers in the field of nanophtonics"-- Provided by publisher.

Edmund de Waal : library of exile

 London : British Museum Press, 2020

תיאור/תקציר

Created as a 'space to sit and read and be', 'library of exile' is an installation by British artist and writer, Edmund de Waal, housing more than 2,000 books in translation, written by exiled authors. Unveiled to great acclaim during the Venice Biennale 2019, this porcelain-covered pavilion is intended as a place of contemplation and dialogue. 'It is about exile,' says de Waal, 'what it means to have to move to another country, to speak another language. From Ovid and Dante to Marina Tsvetaeva and Judith Kerr, the library forms a record of repression while celebrating the response of the displaced. Almost all of the books are in translation, reflecting the idea of language as a form of migration. Each book has an 'ex libris' label so visitors can write their name inside ones that matter to them. Alongside the books hangs a quartet of de Waal's own vitrines, 'psalm, I-IV' (2019), holding pieces of porcelain, marble and steel. Their arrangements echo the composition of Daniel Bomberg's 16th-century edition of the Talmud, a central text of Judaism, printed in Venice and notable for holding the Hebrew text, Aramaic translation and commentary on a single page. Following its display at the British Museum, the books featured in the library of exile will be donated by the artist to the University of Mosul Library, with the kind participation of Book Aid International. Exhibition: British Museum, London, UK (dates TBD).

Big color : maximize the potential of your design through use of color

תיאור/תקציר

Big Color is a collection of some of the most exciting recent graphic-design work chosen specifically to highlight the ways in which the designers have exploited color to strengthen the effect of their designs. The book is split into two sections: Lo-Beam and Hi-Beam. The first section takes work that uses a softer range of colors for its effect, while the second section shows how vivid colors, and bold contrast, enhance the impact of the featured pieces. Big Color includes work printed in one-, two-, three- and full-color processes and illustrates that it is not necessarily the number of colors available, but the way in which they are used that makes for a successful design. With clear and informative text, design details, and a useful glossary of terms, Big Color helps ensure that your designs will never be left in the shade.

תיאור/תקציר

An ancient art form dating back to cave paintings in the Palaeolithic age, silhouettes were extremely popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when they served as an inexpensive form of portraiture, capturing the essence of the subject with a minimum of detail. Now today's crafters, designers, artists, and illustrators can take advantage of the silhouette's eye-catching power with this splendid sourcebook, meticulously compiled by Carol Belanger Grafton. Included are over 1,700 charming, royalty-free silhouettes — culled from a number of rare sources — ideal for use in a broad range of graphic projects. Posters, signage, magazine and book illustration, advertisements, brochures, and flyers are just a few of the potential uses for the illustrations in this convenient archive. Choose from a wide array of subjects: animals portrayed in assorted poses, children playing and reading, couples embracing, views of the human profile, people working, painting, biking, and playing musical instruments; and many more. All appear in striking forms that emphasize the silhouette's power to make a simple but bold graphic statement.

Hopper, Edward, 1882-1967

Painters -- United States -- 20th century

תיאור/תקציר

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered the first significant American painter in 20th-century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the loneliness of big-city people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of colour, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character. -- goodreads

תיאור/תקציר

Vermeer's record of the tasks and duties of women The 35 paintings that have come down to us from the hand of Jan Vermeer (1632-1675) place him beside Rembrandt and Frans Hals as one of the great masters of the golden age of Dutch art. Most of his pictures (all of which are reproduced in this book) show women about their daily business. Vermeer records the tasks and duties of women, the imperatives of virtue under which their lives were lived, and the dreams that provided the substance of their contrasting counter-world. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions.
