Bram Stoker's Dracula: Sucking Through the Century, 1897-1997
In 1897, Archibald Constable & corporation released a singular by means of the unheralded Bram Stoker. That novel, Dracula, has long gone directly to develop into maybe the main influential novel of all time. To commemorate the centennial of that groovy novel, Carol Margaret Davison has introduced jointly this number of essays by means of a few of the world's top students. The essays learn Stoker's unique novel and have a good time its legacy in pop culture. the continued presence of Dracula and vampire fiction and flicks presents facts that, as Davison writes, Dracula is "alive and sucking. "
"Dracula is a Gothic mandala, an unlimited layout within which a number of reflections of the weather of the style are configured in stylish units of symmetries. it's also a kind of lens, bringing concentration and compression to varied Gothic motifs, together with not just vampirism yet insanity, the evening, spoiled innocence, sickness in nature, sacrilege, cannibalism, necrophilia, psychic projection, the succubus, the incubus, the smash, and the tomb. amassing up and unifying all that got here earlier than it, and casting its nice shadow over all that got here and keeps to return after, its impression on twentieth-century Gothic fiction and picture is exclusive and impossible to resist.

Example text
Generally, films deposited using a quartz microbalance to gauge film thickness will not be controlled to such precision. However, using the two-step deposition and annealing process, these films are of atomically uniform thickness, which makes absolute thickness measurement by photoemission possible. This is illustrated by the sequence of deposition and measurement represented in Fig. 3 (Paggel, Miller et al. 1998). Data from three sequential depositions are shown, going up in the figure. The bottom and top curves are from atomically-uniform films 38 and 39 ML thick, respectively.
To accommodate this, the system can have 12 ML islands separated by some amount of the very stable wetting layer. At higher temperatures, the film becomes disordered, and at 280K it has reached a state of local thermodynamic equilibrium with many thicknesses present.
It is clear since this line lies below all of the points for intermediate thicknesses that the system will prefer to phase-separate into the wetting layer plus 6 ML high islands for all intermediate amounts deposited. So the physics of the flat film in this case predicts the behavior of a slightly more complicated system of a wetting layer plus preferred-height island growth. This study does not give information about the lateral size distribution, but apparently this is not essential to the understanding of the basics of growth.
