Surfaces and Interfaces of Liquid Crystals
Igor Musevic, Cindy Nieuwkerk and Theo Rasing Since the pioneering work on surface-induced alignment of liquid crystals, performed by Lehmann [1], Grandjean [2], Mauguin [3], Chatelain [4], and others [5], scientist have been looking for the answer to the question: why do certain surfaces align liquid crystals and others not'? The answer to this question has become even more important with the advent of modern liquid crystal display technologies, that are based on re liable and technologically controllable surface alignment of liquid crystals, used in a variety of electrooptic devices, such as liquid crystal displays, light modulators, optical shutters, switches, holographic systems, etc. Du...
Yugoslavia, Nonalignment and Cold War Globalism
This book explores the emergence of Yugoslav globalism and how it was influenced by the early Cold War, the changes once Yugoslavia established itself as a nonaligned leader, and what the decline of Yugoslav globalism reveals about the waning Cold War and the history of internationalist diplomacy. Although Yugoslavia was correctly defined as a regional power, it is not true that Tito’s influence was confined to the Balkans alone. Even before the 1948 split with Stalin, political elites and intellectuals imagined socialist Yugoslavia as a model for international comity and development. Subsequently, due to dramatic changes in the climate of international diplomacy, Yugoslav globalist outrea...
NMR of Ordered Liquids
NMR of Ordered Liquids gives a unique overview of the scope and limitations of the NMR of oriented liquids, based on contributions from acknowledged experts in the field. The book consists of four sections: -detailed general introduction which covers the basic principles and sophisticated experimental techniques; -wide variety of applications ranging from NMR studies of small atoms and molecules in anisotropic liquids to the utilization of residual dipolar couplings for structure determination of biological molecules; -summary of the sophisticated theoretical treatments, computer simulations, and phenomenological models for anisotropic intermolecular interactions that are widely used in the analysis of experimental results; -overview of the dynamical aspects and relaxation processes relevant for orientationally ordered molecules.

The Empire of Culture
A groundbreaking study of America's cultural impact on the world stage during the 20th century. The Empire of Culture delves into the multifaceted phenomenon of global Americanization, examining its historical roots, its pervasive influence, and the complex ways in which different cultures have responded. This insightful work explores the spread of American mass culture, its connection to economic and political power, and the challenges it poses to national identities. Through meticulous research and compelling analysis, this study offers a nuanced understanding of the forces shaping our interconnected world. Discover: The historical origins of global Americanization The impact of American culture on Europe, Asia, and the developing world The debates surrounding cultural imperialism and the preservation of cultural diversity This book is essential reading for scholars of American history, cultural studies, and international relations seeking a deeper understanding of the cultural dynamics of the modern world.
