Overview: Surface Mount Technology is not a technology of tommorrow but a technology of today. It provides a quantum jump in the packaging tech­ nology to produce state-of-the-art miniaturized electronic products. How­ ever, in order to take advantage of this technology, a complete infrastruc­ ture must be put in place. This requires considerable investment in human and capital resources. Intel corporation has made these investments to keep its customers for components and systems on the leading edge of technology. Based on the experience of putting this infrastructure in place for system prod

Overview: The enormous success and diffusion that online social networks (OSNs) are encountering nowadays is vastly apparent. Users‘ social interactions now occur using online social media as communication channels; personal information and activities are easily exchanged both for recreational and business purposes in order to obtain social or economic advantages. In this scenario, OSNs are considered critical applications with respect to the security of users and their resources, for their characteristics alone: the large amount of personal information they manage, big economic upturn connect

Overview: John E. Mylroie and Ira D. Sasowsky‘ Caves occupy incongruous positions in both our culture and our science. The oldest records of modem human culture are the vivid cave paintings from southern France and northern Spain, which are in some cases more than 30,000 years old (Chauvet, et ai, 1996). Yet, to call someone a "caveman" is to declare them primitive and ignorant. Caves, being cryptic and mysterious, occupied important roles in many cultures. For example, Greece, a country with abundant karst, had the oracle at Delphi and Hades the god of death working from caves. People are bot

Overview: Gives a concise presentation of surface analytical techniques and their applications.Contains also the latest developments of surface analytical techniques.Useful for students and newcomers in the fieThe book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces. The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an introduction of the scientific problem, the theory necessary to understand how the technique works and how to understand the results. Descriptions of real experimental setups, experimental results at different systems a

Overview: The synthetic chemistry of carbohydrates has advanced at a scarcely equalled rate in the last 25 years, due to the great interest of biologically active natural products coritaining sugar moieties. It suffices to note that in the review by J. D. Dutcher appearing in "Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry" vol. 18, 1963, only the structures of less than ten aminodeoxy sugars were reported. This book deals exclusively with a single class of carbohydrates, namely the aminodeoxy sugars of antibiotics, the most popular of which is probably daunosamine, a compound for which more than 20 diffe

Overview: Combines and integrates two different research streams: the product-service system innovation and the transition studies.Helps to clarify how socio-technical experiments should be designed in order toThis book investigates the potential contribution that a strategic design approach can make to stimulating and supporting the societal embedding of sustainable PSSs (product-service systems). A new strategic design role thus emerges; a role in which the ideation and development of sustainable PSS concepts is coupled with the designing of appropriate transition paths (sequence of socio-te

Overview: In this study of solitude in high modernist writing, Edward Engelberg explores the ways in which solitude functions thematically to shape meaning in literary works, as well as what solitude as a condition has contributed to the making of a trope. Selected novels are analyzed for the ambiguities that solitude injects into their meanings. The freedom of solitude also becomes a burden from which the protagonists seek liberation. Although such ambiguities about solitude exist from the Bible and the Ancients through the centuries following, they change within the context of time. The stor

Overview: Over the past ten years, there has been growing interest in theprocess of strategic decision-making among both managers andresearchers. Strategic decisions are important for five main reasons:They are large-scale, risky and hard to reverse; they are a bridgebetween deliberate and emerging strategies; they can be a major sourceof organizational learning; they play an important part in thedevelopment of individual managers and they cut accross functions andacademic disciplines. .Strategic Decisions. summarizes the currentstate of the art in research on strategic decision-making, withch

Overview: The past meetings held under the auspices of the Austrian Ministry of Education and the successes and benefits derived from these lectures in former years have encouraged us to continue this year with a survey of high energy physics. The experimental side of this field has undergone such a great advancement that the evaluation of huge masses of data called for the theoretical physicist to develop new theories and to explain facts and connections which we have not been able to clarify up to the present. In spite of the precarious situation especially in the field of Elementary Particl
