From one of the world's most respected authorities on precious metals investment--a thoroughly researched volume on the investment prospects for silver, the other gold.

  After outperforming virtually all other investments for more than a decade, gold is being reincorporated into the financial...

Current Sources and Voltage References provides fixed, well-regulated levels of current or voltage within a circuit. These are two of the most important "building blocks " of analog circuits, and are typically used in creating most analog IC designs.

Part 1 shows the reader how current sources are created, how...

The impact of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells on energy generation will parallel the impact of the integrated circuit on information technology. The underlying processes in PEM fuel cells have strong ties to energy generation at the mitochondrial level in organic life. The potential applications range from the micron scale to large...

Alexander and Sadiku's third edition of Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than the other texts in the market. Students are introduced to the sound,...

Quantum Circuit Simulation covers the fundamentals of linear algebra and introduces basic concepts of quantum physics needed to understand quantum circuits and algorithms. It requires only basic familiarity with algebra, graph algorithms and computer engineering. After introducing necessary background, the authors describe key simulation...

• Discover the essential features of Python programming: statements, variables, expressions, and many of the built-in data types

The scaling of silicon technology has been ongoing for over forty years. We are on our way to commercializing devices having a minimum feature size of one-tenlh of a micron. The push for miniaturization comes from the demand for higher functionality and higher performance at a lower cost. As a result, successively higher levels of...

This book models  an idealized neuron as being driven by basic electrical elements, the goal being to systematically characterize the logical properties of neural pulses.  In order to constitute a system, neurons as pulsating devices may be represented using novel circuit elements as delineated in this book.  A plausible brain...

With emphasis on power system protection from the network operator perspective, this classic textbook explains the fundamentals of relaying and power system phenomena including stability, protection and reliability. The fourth edition brings coverage up-to-date with important advancements in protective relaying due to significant changes in...
