Physical limitations on the scattering of electromagnetic vector spherical waves

Understanding the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter is vital in applications ranging from classical optics to antenna theory. This paper derives physical limitations on the scattering of electromagnetic vector spherical waves. The assumptions made are that the heterogeneous scatterer is passive, and has constitutive relations which are on convolution form in the time domain and

Time domain theory of the macroscopic Maxwell equations

A time domain description of linear macroscopic electromagnetic phenomena is considered. We show that it is always possible to model the constitutive relations with a symmetric, positive definite optical response together with a convolution integral. An initial-boundary value problem is formulated for the macroscopic Maxwell equations together with a reflection operator modeling the exterior regio

Usage-Based Reading for Inspections of Requirements

Software inspection has proven to be an effective way to increase the quality of software products. A new reading technique suggested for software inspection, usage-based reading (UBR), has been tested in previous studies, where it showed good defect detection efficiency during inspection of design documents. This study addresses the question whether this is true also for inspections of requiremen

Understanding refugee law in an enlarged European Union

The present article seeks to explore how asylum law is formed, transformed and reformed in Europe, what its effects are on state practice and refugee protection in the Baltic and Central European candidate countries, and what this process reveals about the framework used by scholars to understand the dynamics of international refugee law. Arguably, an exclusive focus on EU institutions and their d

Malaysian Educational Politics: ‘English Language Policy’ Implementation and Its Impact to Plural Society

This paper discuss the issue of ‘Teaching Mathematics and Science in English’ Policy implementation in Malaysia, which requires Mathematics and Science to be taught in an English medium in all primary schools, introduced by the government in May 2002. The needs of increased to overcome the declining standard of English contrasted with Malaysian plural society communal identity and mother tongue la
