Interconnections are a most important design issue nowadays. Trends in the microelectronic industry are leading to unwanted interconnect effects, especially noise, becoming more important. This increasing importance is mainly due to three reasons: increasing integration, increasing signal frequency spectrum components, and increasing complexity....
When computer software succeeds—when it meets the needs of the people who use
it, when it performs flawlessly over a long period of time, when it is easy to modify
and even easier to use—it can and does change things for the better. But when software
fails—when its users are dissatisfied, when it is error prone, when...
When we embarked on this endeavor, we knew that the tools that made up Microsoft’s Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution were large and complex. Writing a book on the topic was going to require a significant amount of work and focus. We are grateful to have been selected to add this book to the McGraw-Hill Complete Reference series....
This expanded new edition develops the theory of nuclear reactors from the fundamentals of fission to the operating characteristics of modern reactors. The first half of the book emphasizes reactor criticality analysis and all of the fundamentals that go into modern calculations. Simplified one group diffusion theory models are...
From cell phones to Web portals, advances in information and communications technology have thrust society into an information age that is far-reaching, fast-moving, increasingly complex, and yet essential to modern life. Now, renowned scholar and author David Luenberger has produced Information Science, a text that distills and explains...

Indulging in a wide spectrum of ideas, beliefs, and perspectives is a critical cornerstone of democracy. After all, it is often debates over differences of opinion, such as whether to legalize abortion, how to treat prisoners, or when to enact the death penalty, that shape our society and drive it forward. Such diversity of thought is...
Sculpting software has changed the face of the 3D industry. Whether you are creating a
character for the next Avatar movie or adding details to a post apocalyptic city in The Last
of Us, 3D sculpting has become an essential tool for creating a level of realism in digital art
that was much harder to achieve in the past. A couple of...
Dietary cancer prophylaxis is based on the detailed knowledge of carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties of food constituents. Although much data has been collected on these elements, an understanding of the causal mechanisms that link diet and cancer is still evolving. Carcinogenic and Anticarcinogenic Food Components explains the broad...
The purpose of this volume is to analyze the microfoundations of knowledge spillovers. The microeconomic analysis of spillovers leads to the insight that the spillover and flow of knowledge is not at all automatic. Instead, this volume suggests that a filter exists between knowledge and its economic application. The focus of this volume is on...
The interaction between mathematics and mechanics is a never ending source of new developments. This present textbook includes a wide –ranging spectrum of topics from the three body problem and gyroscope theory to bifurcation theory, optimization, control and continuum mechanics of elastic bodies and fluids. For each of the covered topics the...
Cystic fibrosis used to be thought of as a respiratory and digestive disease, with a uniformly and rapidly fatal outcome. The spectrum of the disease has broadened into the mild atypical case, presenting in middle age, with the potential for complications in virtually every system of the body.
