The first edition of the RF and Microwave Handbook was published in 2000. The project got off to an inauspicious start when 24 inches of snow fell in Denver the evening before the advisory board planned to hold their kick-off meeting. Two members of the board were trapped for days in the Denver airport since planes were not arriving or...
The book began with an anonymous donation to the author of an 8-inch package of documents in the early
1980s. Nothing less than the membership list and supporting documents for a truly secret society the Yale Skull and
Bones.
The late Johnny Johnson, of Phoenix Arizona was the spark that moved me to write first a...

My introduction to membranes was as a graduate student in 1963. At that time
membrane permeation was a sub-study of materials science. What is now called
membrane technology did not exist, nor did any large industrial applications
of membranes. Since then, sales of membranes and membrane equipment have
increased more than...
A single hype is not enough to change the world. But multiple hypes together can
change it as long as they are part of a bigger trend.
This book discusses more than one hyped technology: cloud computing, NoSQL, and
HTML5. The technologies in this book combine well with other hyped technologies:
functional...
As technology feature size of devices and interconnects shrink at the rate predicted
by Moore’s law, gate density and design complexity on single integrated chip
(IC) keep increasing in recent decades. The close to nanoscale fabrication process
introduces more manufacturing errors. New failure mechanisms that are not covered...
This book is aimed at helping Oracle DBAs understand and use PeopleSoft technology. For the typical DBA, the introduction to PeopleSoft is likely to include some surprises, not all of them agreeable. Many—if not most—DBAs have to deal with many different databases, usually supporting different applications. Often they will want to...
Nanotechnology is almost a household word now-a-days, or at least some word with
‘‘nano’’ in it, such as nanoscale, nanoparticle, nanophase, nanocrystal, or nanomachine.
This field now enjoys worldwide attention and a National Nanotechnology

Writing remains to me an unusual practice that transforms my experience of the world whilst under the spell of writing. This book has had a particularly intensive birth, written as it is in the middle of the academic year and with everyday life swirling around it with all the attendant distractions. It has emerged from a number of related...
Textile chemical processing today, particularly the pre-treatment processes require a highly sophisticated technology and engineering to achieve the well known concepts of "Right first time, Right everytime and Right on time" processing and production. Chemical pre-treatment may be broadly defined as a procedure mainly concerned...
