The monograph aims to explore physical, structural, and technological characteristics of resonant segments of electrodynamic slow-wave structures and metamaterial structures in order to create on their basis multifunctional components, nodes, and modules providing miniaturization and enhanced electrical parameters and properties of microwave frequency selective devices. The designs developed are promising for applying in modern telecommunication facilities.
The book is designed for technical specialists and researchers in electrodynamics, engineering, microwave band devices, and antenna feed, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students of physics and radio engineering.

The book comes up with an idea of fundamental social change derived from the generational shifts in contemporary Russia. A sociological approach towards the generational cohort analysis is developed with an original classification of generations based upon historical conditions faced during the years of emerging adulthood. A special emphasis is made upon the youngest adult generation of millennials coming out of their adolescence in the 2000s. Data were collected from the annual Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) in 1994–2016. Significant and robust differences are revealed between millennials and previous generations with regard to the family planning, use of digital technologies, commitment to the healthy lifestyles, religious affiliation, subjective well-being, and other social indicators. In some cases, like use of digital technologies, millennials contribute to acceleration of existing trends whereas in other cases, like alcohol consumption and smoking they provide a break in these trends.
The book is concluded with two essays on distinctive features of young adults and challenges faced by the universities in the education of millennials.
