Japan’s encounter with deflation and near‐zero‐interest short‐term interest rates in the 1990s led to a surge in research on the implications of the zero lower bound (ZLB) on nominal interest rates for monetary policy around the end of that decade. Based on model simulations, the literature

Abstract — First observed in gaseous plasmas in the early 1960’s, helicon discharges lay like a sleeping giant until they emerged in the 1980’s, when their usefulness as efficient plasma sources for processing microelectronic circuits for the burgeoning semiconductor industry became recognized. Research on helicons spread to many countries; new, challenging, unexpected problems arose, and these have spawned solutions and novel insights into the physical mechanisms in magnetized radio-frequency discharges. Among the most baffling puzzles were the reason for the high ionization efficiency of helicon discharges and the dominance of the right-hand polarized mode over the left-hand one. The most recent results indicate that a nonobvious resolution of these problems is at hand. Index Terms—Helicon, plasma discharges, plasma processing, plasma source, plasma waves. I.

of periodical publishing in a competitive society has produced effects of considerable concern to librarians, Not only has the number of titles steadily risen, but the cost of subscriptions has also greatly increased. An examination of available statistics relevant to the economic struc-ture and condition of the periodical industry will throw some light upon these developments and assess their impact upon library budgets. Chapin ’ points out in his useful compilation and analysis of sta-tistics, Mass Communications, that statistical information about the magazine industry in this country is even more limited than informa-tion about the other mass media, since the magazine industry has no one clearinghouse which processes information about the industry as a whole. This means not only that statistics on an exhaustive scale are not available, but also that the data which can be gathered from various sources are not likely to be comparable. Another difficulty is the lack of definition of what constitutes a periodical in such shadowy areas as house organs, special interest newspapers, irregularly pub-lished and monographic serials, and indexing and abstracting services. Communication through periodicals is a modern development. Lacya in Freedom and Communications points out that “In 1800 there were about 40 magazines and 24 daily newspapers in the United States. None had more than a trivial circulation, running in most cases only to a few hundreds.... By 1900, in contrast, there were 5,500 mag-azines and other periodicals and 2,190 newspapers, and their average circulation was incomparably larger. ” This phenomenal growth was made possible by technical advances in printing and paper making and was encouraged by the new mail rates of 1879, the basis of the present postal subsidy whereby the editorial content of magazines can be sent to any part of the country for a low uniform rate.
