Using a synthetic approach to organic materials chemistry, this book sets forth tested and proven methods and practices that make it possible to engineer organic molecules offering special properties and functions. Throughout the book,...

This new series is aimed at the same people as the Practical Astronomy Series – in general, active amateur astronomers. However, it is also appropriate to a wider audience of astronomically-informed readers. Because optical astronomy is a science that is rather at the mercy of the weather, all amateur astronomers inevitably have periods...

Increased levels of chip integration combined with physical limitations of heat removal devices, cooling mechanisms and battery capacity, have established energy-efficiency as an important design objective in the implementation flow of modern electronic products. To meet these low energy objectives, new low power techniques, including...

As far back as he can remember, New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards has kept a notebook of ideas and observations he refers to as Life Lessons. Whether they are philosophies gleaned from his closest friends or snippets of knowledge taken from people he’s never met, these carefully-chosen lessons provide Edwards with a consistent and...

Now a major topic in industry and the electrical engineeringresearch community, engineers have started to focus on analysis,diagnosis and...

This book describes recent theoretical findings relevant to bilevel programming in general, and in mixed-integer bilevel programming in particular. It describes recent applications in energy problems, such as the stochastic bilevel optimization approaches used in the natural gas industry. New algorithms for solving linear and mixed-integer...
