Von den physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften der Kunststoffe, der Beschreibung ihrer Synthese und Compoundierung, ihrem jeweiligen Verhalten bei der Verarbeitung bis hin zu einer Vielzahl konkreter Anwendungen - ergänzt mit Sicherheits-, Umwelt- und Recyclingaspekten: Ein umfassenderes und vollständigeres Nachschlagewerk zum Thema Kunststoffe ist kaum vorstellbar. Ausführliche Tabellen, aussagekräftige Grafiken, ein umfassendes Stichwortverzeichnis und ein Handelsnamen- und Kunststoffregister machen das Buch zu einem unverzichtbaren Begleiter und wertvollen Helfer für alle, die sich in irgendeiner Form mit Kunststoffen beschäftigen.
Die Neuauflage stellt das Thema Product-Engineering mehr in den Vordergrund. Das in die Welt der Kunststoffe einführende Grundlagenkapitel wurde deutlich erweitert, andere Kapitel wurden aktualisiert. Dies betrifft u.a. die Kapitel Polyamide, Polypropylen, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyethylenterephthalat, ungesättigte Polyesterharze, abgewandelte Naturstoffe und elektrisch leitfähige Polymere.

Mesoscopic condensed matter systems have small spatial dimensions ( < I Jim) and anc characterized by the presence of a certain amount of disorder, for instance due to the incorporation of impurities. At very low temperatures ( < 1 K), these systems show a variety of interesting transport phenomena that are related to quantization, and to the fact that the coherence of the quantum states is not destroyed by inelastic and pha.se randomizing processes such as electron-electron, and electron-phonon collisions. One of the main aims of the school has been to bring tagether experiencecl researchers working in different areas of this new and rapidly developing field, and to proviele a broacl survey to those who just startecl or plan to enter.

Modeling and Simulation of Mixed Analog-Digital Systems brings together in one place important contributions and state-of-the-art research results in this rapidly advancing area.
Modeling and Simulation of Mixed Analog-Digital Systems serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most important issues in the field.

Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design, Second Edition covers the analysis and design of nonlinear analog integrated circuits that form the basis of present-day communication systems. Both bipolar and MOS transistor circuits are analyzed and several numerical examples are used to illustrate the analysis and design techniques developed in this book. Especially unique to this work is the tight coupling between the first-order circuit analysis and circuit simulation results. Extensive use has been made of the public domain circuit simulator Spice, to verify the results of first-order analyses, and for detailed simulations with complex device models.

An introductory undergraduate textbook that deals with the analysis and design of continuous-signal electronic hardware. Throughout, the treatment is at the device/component level, with sufficient explanation to enable thee reader to develop both an understanding of the principles involved and a proficiency in basic design. More than 50 worked examples and over 120 further graduated tutorial questions are included (with answers).

Cellular Neural Networks and Analog VLSI brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this fast moving area.
Cellular Neural Networks and Analog VLSI serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging research issues in the field.

This book presents a systematic, comprehensive treatment of analog and discrete signal analysis and synthesis and an introduction to analog communication theory. This evolved from my 40 years of teaching at Oklahoma State University (OSU). It is based on three courses, Signal Analysis (a second semester junior level course), Active Filters (a first semester senior level course), and Digital signal processing (a second semester senior level course). I have taught these courses a number of times using this material along with existing texts. The references for the books and journals (over 160 references) are listed in the bibliography section. At the undergraduate level, most signal analysis courses do not require probability theory. Only, a very small portion of this topic is included here. I emphasized the basics in the book with simple mathematics and the soph- tication is minimal. Theorem-proof type of material is not emphasized. The book uses the following model: 1. Learn basics 2. Check the work using bench marks 3. Use software to see if the results are accurate The book provides detailed examples (over 400) with applications. A thr- number system is used consisting of chapter number – section number – example or problem number, thus allowing the student to quickly identify the related material in the appropriate section of the book. The book includes well over 400 homework problems. Problem numbers are identified using the above three-number system.

Something over a year ago, I was fortunate enough to preview another VNR book, Controlling Conducted Emissions by Design, by John Fluke. My assessment at the time was that Mr. Fluke had written a very good and useful volume, its only flaw being that it focused on just half of the EMI emissions problem. This, of course, was also its strength; although radiated and conducted emissions do not exist in separate worlds, it can be useful, at least as a point of departure, to look at them as distinct phenomena. Expanding the scope of the conducted emissions book therefore would have served mostly to dilute its purpose and compromise its clarity. After some informal discussions with the publisher on that subject, it was de­ cided to correct the sin of omission by recruiting an author for a companion vol­ ume, to be titled Controlling Radiated Emissions by Design.

In response to new developments in the field, practical teaching experience, and readers' suggestions, the authors of the warmly received Reliablity Evaluation of Engineering Systems have updated and extended the work-providing extended coverage of fault trees and a more complete examination of probability distribution, among other things-without disturbing the original's concept, structure, or style.

Semiconductors lie at the heart of some of the most important industries and technologies of the twentieth century. The complexity of silicon integrated circuits is increasing considerably because of the continuous dimensional shrinkage to improve efficiency and functionality. This evolution in design rules poses real challenges for the materials scientists and processing engineers. Materials, defects and processing now have to be understood in their totality. World experts discuss, in this volume, the crucial issues facing lithography, ion implication and plasma processing, metallization and insulating layer quality, and crystal growth. Particular emphasis is placed upon silicon, but compound semiconductors and photonic materials are also highlighted. The fundamental concepts of phase stability, interfaces and defects play a key role in understanding these crucial issues. These concepts are reviewed in a crucial fashion.

When it comes to frameworks, the familiar story of the elephant and the six blind philosophers seems to apply. As each philoso­ pher encountered a separate part of the elephant, each pronounced his considered, but flawed judgement. One blind philosopher felt a leg and thought it a tree.
