The sky shall open once more.In an obscure realm, the Kingdom of Ozia lies. Few realize a secret that lurks within, and fewer speak about it openly.Eager for an adventure, Kaia Boken stumbles upon Ozia, unwittingly embroils in an ancient curse that will forever haunt her daughter, and all the daughters in every generation that follows.From Lavinia, who cannot deny her passion for a forbidden man, to Isabel, who binds her loyalty to the people, and P...

This volume examines the advances of invasive monitoring by means of biosensors and microdialysis. Physical and physiological parameters are commonly monitored in clinical settings using invasive techniques due to their positive outcome in patients’ diagnosis and treatment. Biochemical parameters, however, still rely on off-line measurements and require large pieces of equipment. Biosensing and sampling devices present excellent capabilities for their use in continuous monitoring of patien...

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical and experimental studies of atomic optical bistability and multistability, and their dynamical properties in systems with two- and three-level inhomogeneously-broadened atoms inside an optical cavity. By making use of the modified linear absorption and dispersion, as well as the greatly enhanced nonlinearity in the three-level electromagnetically induced transparency system, the optical bistablity and efficient all-optical ...
