This is the most systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date book on the theoretical analysis of piezoelectric devices. It is a natural continuation of the author s two previous books: An Introduction to the Theory of Piezoelectricity (Springer, 2005) and The Mechanics of Piezoelectric Structures (World Scientific, 2006). Based on the linear,...
A good presentation involves effective communication and essential for business success. From training new employees to building rapport with potential clients, the ability to deliver information is a required skill. This guide addresses the common problems people face - overcoming nerves, handling visual aids, and shaping the presentation...
This book summarizes the keynote and plenary speeches and posters of the “Xth
International Nidovirus Symposium: Toward Control of SARS and Other Nidovirus
Diseases” that was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, June 25–30, 2005. The nine
previous meetings of scientists investigating the molecular biology and...
American medicine remains in the midst of a profound and wrenching transformation. The government, Wall Street, third party payers, and patients have demanded improved medical care at lower cost. Better medicine (orthopaedics) occurs when doctors practice medicine consistently on the basis of the best scientific evidence...
People face making decisions both in their professional and private lives. A manager
in a company, for example, may need to evaluate suppliers and develop partnerships
with the best ones. A household may need to choose an energy supplier for their
family home. Students cannot ignore university rankings. Often candidates for a job...
The SAS Storage Architecture book is intended as a tutorial and to serve as
classroom materials for the training MindShare delivers on this subject. It
should be considered a companion to the SAS standard, helping to clarify and
explain the concepts and provide the motivation for decisions that were made
in the creation of the...
Simulation based on mathematical models plays a major role in computer aided design of integrated circuits (ICs). Decreasing structure sizes, increasing packing densities and driving frequencies require the use of refined mathematical models, and to take into account secondary, parasitic effects. This leads to very high dimensional problems...
A professional musician guides serious hobbyists through Pro Tool
Pro Tools puts professional recording and music production software in the hands of anyone with the appropriate hardware and the knowledge to use it. Musician and recording engineer Jeff Strong guides you through the latest version of this complex program,...
From bargaining for a lower price to asking for vacation time, negotiating is a skill essential for improved business performance and better business relationships. In this new edition, David Oliver looks at the vital principles of good negotiation.
The text explores the aspects of negotiating, including: tactics and...
Fuel cells are one of the most promising clean energy conversion devices that can solve the environmental and energy problems in our society. However, the high platinum loading of fuel cells - and thus their high cost - prevents their commercialization. Non- or low- platinum electrocatalysts are needed to lower the fuel cell...
This book describes computing innovation, using non-volatile memory for a sustainable world. It appeals to both computing engineers and device engineers by describing a new means of lower power computing innovation, without sacrificing performance over conventional low-voltage operation. Readers will be introduced to methods of design and...
Providing an overview of the latest computational approaches to estimate rate constants for thermal reactions, this book addresses the theories behind various first-principle and approximation methods that have emerged in the last twenty years with validation examples. It presents in-depth applications of those theories to a wide range of...
