Seoul is a major global city with a history of over 600 years. Its development trajectory, current status in the world economy, and challenges faced in socio-spatial dynamics present an excellent case...
View ArticleHolographic detection of the orbital angular momentum of light with plasmonic...
Metallic components such as plasmonic gratings and plasmonic lenses are routinely used to convert free-space beams into propagating surface plasmon polaritons and vice versa. This generation of...

The concept of knowledge transfer and transmission has been researched primarily in the context of the management of multinational organisations for the past few decades. However, only in recent years...
View ArticleTwo-dimensional complex source point solutions: application to...
Highly convergent beam modes in two dimensions are considered based on rigorous solutions of the scalar wave (Helmholtz) equation, using the complex source point formalism. The modes are applicable to...
View ArticleMetaphor and the Anthropocene: Presenting Humans as a Geological Force
Intellectually as well as materially, the Anthropocene is a deeply cultural phenomenon. This includes its communicative form, which is a contested trope-rich narrative, even within the sciences. In...

Radical pedagogies are taken here to be experimental forms of learning that are engaged with an on-going and passionate protest against inert ideas. It is education of and for vitality - learning how...
View ArticleBarriers to effective climate change mitigation: the case of senior...
While the case for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is compelling, actions being taken by most senior decision makers (SDMs) in government and business compound the problem. Given the...
View ArticlePolarization-controlled tunable directional coupling of surface plasmon...
Light can be coupled into propagating electromagnetic surface waves at a metal-dielectric interface known as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). This process has traditionally faced challenges in the...
View ArticlePhysical unsharp mask with structured detection
We present a method to implement physically an unsharp mask filter in an imaging system. The idea is based on the use of a spatially periodic variation in the detection efficiency of an area detector....
