Neutrinos have shaped cosmic history in important ways. In early epochs, they left their mark on the expansion of the universe and the genesis of primordial nuclei. In more recent eras, their signature has been repeatedly etched into the explosive dynamics of massive stars and t…
During the past decade, the commercial outlook for GaN-based devices has grown considerably to meet the future need for wireless communications. Although record high output power densities at microwave frequencies have been achieved, factors limiting output power and reliability…
The unabated demand for more capacity due to the ever-increasing internet traffic dictates that the boundaries of the state of the art maybe pushed to send more data through the network. Traditionally, this need has been satisfied by multiple wavelengths (wavelength division mul…
Significant prediction of asset prices is of a great importance in financial economics. When studying economic and financial phenomena, it is essential to correctly specify the model. If the true dynamics are nonlinear, using linear methods will probably be irrelevant in doing e…
Understanding the behavior and modes of failure of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) under different conditions is a crucial element to enhance their reliability and sensitivity, which may also lead to widen their use to more applications. One of the major causes of failur…
This second edition provides much-needed updates to the original volume. Like the first edition, it emphasizes the ideas behind the algorithms as well as their theoretical foundations and properties, rather than focusing strictly on computational details; at the same time, this …
Oceanic waves registered by satellite observations often have curvilinear fronts and propagate over various currents. In this thesis, we study long linear and weakly-nonlinear ring waves in a stratified fluid in the presence of a depth-dependent horizontal shear flow. It is show…
A theoretical study of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic wires was conducted. These nanoscale optical waveguides can have transverse dimensions substantially smaller than the wavelength of the infrared light they carry. This extreme confinement provides very strong dispersion,…
