Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho

Audience Research and Multimodality: What Eye Tracking Reveals about Newspaper Reading

On closer inspection, the so-called iconic turn in recent media history is a multimodal turn.

On the cavity problem for the general linear medium in Electromagnetic Theory

In this paper we study the propagation problem of a time harmonic electro- magnetic field inside a cavity filled with a generic bianisotropic medium. We define the concepts of eigenfrequencies and modes of the cavity and we prove their existence and countability. We extend, in this respect, the theory for the isotropic, homogeneous, lossless cavity.
