Optical scanning holography (OSH) is an emerging area of interest with many potential novel applications, such as 3-D pattern recognition, 3-D microscopy, 3-D cryptography, and 3-D optical remote sensing. Optical Scanning Holography with MATLAB® introduces readers to the latest advances of electronic (or digital) holography and succinctly covers the necessary mathematical background and wave optics that pertain to Fourier optics and holography...

The education conditions of Asian American students with disabilities are inadequately represented in the literature, mostly due to misconceptions and underrepresentation in special education. Parental advocacy in the referral-to-placement process is particularly vital in securing appropriate education. There is little literature on immigrant parents'' involvement in this process. This book therefore attempts to narrow the data gap regarding t...

About the Book Digital (or electronic) holography and its application to 3-D display is one of the formidable problems of evolving areas of high technology that has been receiving great attention in recent years. The realization of life-size interactive 3-D displays has been a seemingly unobtainable goal. Technology is not quite at that level yet, but advances in 3-D display now allow us to take important steps toward the achievement of this o...

A new play from the Hong Kong Arts Festival about carefree young Kuan, who falls into a personal crisis after a few missed calls during a night out in Shenzhen, forcing him to redefine his relationships with family, friends and lovers.

Previous studies suggested Monetary Conditions Index (hereafter MCI) serves as an indicator of the monetary policy stance to capture the degree of tightness of the monetary policy. The weights of the MCI in the model reflect long-term effects of the interest rate and the exchange rate on the economic activity. Nevertheless, MCIs may not be used as an operational target as it is not resilient to shock identification. Recognizing the caveats upo...

Trade impacts on the lives of all global citizens, influencing which commodities are consumed and how and where they are produced, and affecting work, the environment and our social existence. It is associated with growth and development, and with deindustrialization and dependency. International Trade: The Basics offers an accessible and engaging introduction to contemporary debates on international trade, inviting readers to explore the conn...

Growth of immobilized cells can be viewed as an alternative to growth of free cells in many instances. In others, immobilization confers a precision of control over the process not possible in free growth. Immobilization of cells can sometimes be considered to be a lower cost alternative to immobilization of enzymes. In this volume, immobilization procedures based on mechanical means and bonding of various types are examined, with detailed app...

Playwright Poon Wai-sum explores the fantasy and fakery of the real estate market, examining what the housing obsession means to densely-packed Hong Kong - all with a sharp eye and a sense of humor. Three real estate agents compete to snare a pair of prospective home buyers. The husband and wife, who sell miniature mansions as memorials for the dead, are skeptical yet tempted after years of searching for the right apartment. Gradually, the age...
