Review

“Five Stars……a very thorough and concise review of all cardiac assist devices. The content is exceptional in completeness… “The quality of this book is excellent. It is a complete reference on this interesting and constantly changing topic. The book is highly educational and an outstanding contribution to the field.”Doody’s Review Service”Cardiac Assist Devices fills an important need by covering a fast-growing field in cardiac medicine and surgery.”Texas Heart Institute Journal”Drs. Goldstein and Oz have put their names to a landmark book in the field of mechanical cardiac support. They have drawn 70 authors together, each well known in this field and each recognized for their contribution to this rapidly developing service. These authors represent the historical breadth and world’s experience of this fascinating subject…–All those in the field will want access to it and because of its quality will want to own it.–All those who wish to comment on t (more…)

Metal Impurities in Silicon-Device Fabrication treats the transition-metal impurities generated during silicon sample and device fabrication. The different mechanisms responsible for contamination are discussed, and a survey given of their impact on device performance. The specific properties of main and rare impurities in silicon are examined, as well as the detection methods and requirements in modern technology. Finally, impurity gettering is studied along with modern techniques to determine gettering efficiency. In all of these subjects, reliable and up-to-date data are presented. The monograph provides a thorough review of the results of recent scientific investigations, as well as of the relevant data and properties of the various metal impurities in silicon.

Review

“…I feel that Im performing a public service for readers by recommending The Complete Guide to Semiconductor Devices, Second Edition…covers just about anything youd care to know about semiconductors…. This new edition…is a testament to the endurance of the earlier work.” (Chip Scale, March 2003) “…this book…is an impressive achievement…I would recommend its addition to any university librarys science or engineering reference collection.” (E-Streams, Vol. 6, No. 5, May 2003) “…a useful text and one that should be available in a well-stocked library…” (ChemPhysChem, Vol 4(8), 2003)”…a useful text and one that should be available in a well-stocked library…” — ChemPhysChem, Vol 4(8), 2003″…this book…is an impressive achievement…I would recommend its addition to any university library’s science or engineering reference collection.” — E-Streams, Vol. 6, No. 5, May 2003

“A discussion of important emerging technologies and trends in semiconductor devices…” SciTech Book News

A thorough examination of the present and future of semiconductor device technology Engineers continue to develop new electronic semiconductor devices that are almost exponentially smaller, faster, and more efficient than their immediate predecessors. Theory of Modern Electronic Semiconductor Devices endeavors to provide an up-to-date, extended discussion of the most important emerging devices and trends in semiconductor technology, setting the pace for the next generation of the discipline’s literature. Kevin Brennan and April Brown focus on three increasingly important areas: telecommunications, quantum structures, and challenges and alternatives to CMOS technology. Specifically, the text examines the behavior of heterostructure devices for communications systems, quantum phenomena that appear in miniaturized structures and new nanoelectron (more…)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile HCI 2003, held in Udine, Italy in September 2003. The 21 revised full papers and 29 revised short papers presented together with a keynote paper and an abstrct of a keynote speech were carefully reviewed and selected from 122 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on mobile users in natural context, input techniques for mobile devices, location-aware guides and planners, bringing mobile services to groups in workplaces, mobile gambling, tools and frameworks for mobile interface design and generation, and usability and HCI research methods.
