Economic success of multimegabit memories has upheld the evolution of technology for creating submicron structures. These structures also constitute neural networks, nanomachines, smart sensors, quantum devices and so on. Patterning of Material Layers in Submicron Region offers, in a single ensemble, state-of-the-art information on various lithographic and delineation techniques along with their applications. It invokes the interests of the reader into the wonderland of nanominiaturization for industrial, biological and fundamental applications. Its contents portray the advent and relevance of submicron structures and proffer a perception of materials, modules and schemes for preparing them. . Patterning of Material Layers in Submicron Region puts forth a coherent and comprehensive treatise of three submicron patterning technologies viz. electron beam, ion beam and X-ray lithography. These technologies are undergoing rapid individual developments and are vying with each other to become the chief writing tool of multitrillion dollar microelectronic industry. This book is endowed with quantitative features of the operational ingredients such as sources, resists, masks, writing/aligning/scanning techniques and commercial/captive systems. It is profusely illustrated with layout diagrams, flowcharts, analyses and SEM pictures of novel results to ensure lucidity. The book also presents various recent developments such as X-ray mask preparation, plasma developing resists and compact synchrotron with statistical details. . Implications, scope and trend of these technologies are demonstrated through significant results followed by brief futuristic projections of the activities and devices. The book aims to meet the requirements of modernizing postgraduate sylabi and enhancing the capabilities of R&D engineers as well as capital equipment manufacturer. It also covers useful material for technology optimiser and device & systems planner.

Based on a major exhibition of masks from the Northwest coast, this book features photographs of over 150 masks from North America and Europe. The masks are manifestations of ancestral spirits as well as works of art. Issues of aesthetics, changes in form and subthemes are explored.

In rural Mexico, folk festivals and the dances that accompany them mark the high point of local life. In preparation for these festivities, Old and New World traditions fuse to forge an awe-inspiring array of masks made by artisans whose talent is legendary. Mask Arts of Mexico provides a comprehensive and celebration of these wonderfully inventive masks and their creators in a rich display of artistry, vitality, beauty, and whimsy.

The Alexander Mosaic: Stories of Victory and Defeat focuses on one of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity. Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship, which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831, Ada Cohen here engages with, but departs from, a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this literature. In this study, she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts, first as a Greek painting of the fourth century B.C., and then as a Roman mosaic of ca. 100 B.C. A variety of interpretive issues regarding history and art history are thus foregrounded, which have broader implications for the study of ancient monuments.

"Combining the latest archaeological discoveries with new scholarly methods, Fullerton presents a history of Greek art and the idea of the classical through a range of media and materials, including Archaic statues from the Aegean islands, the gold and ivory of Macedonia, to the great Hellenistic monuments of the Greek east."--Jacket.
