Cell Physiology Source Book

  • 2nd Edition
  • Nicholas Sperelakis
  • English
This authoritative book gathers together a broad range of ideas and topics that define the field. It provides clear, concise, comprehensive coverage of all aspects of cellular physiology from fundamental concepts to more advanced topics.The Second Edition contains over 50% new material. Most chapters have been thoroughly reworked, and new chapters on important developments have been included. Leading experts in their field, the contributors have revised and updated their own individual chapters. The Editor has fashioned the chapters into a cohesive, unified text. These new additions and chapters should make the Second Edition of the Cell Physiology Source Book the most complete and useful source book available.

A Complete Introduction to the Field

  • 1st Edition
  • Toshiro Terano + 2 more
  • English
Fuzzy systems is a mathematical framework for dealing with uncertain, ambiguous, and approximate information. An alternative to traditional binary logic, fuzzy logic has proved to be better suited to solving complex, real world programming problems.**This book provides a concise overview of fuzzy systems theory and its applications. Written by the leading scientists behind the successful Japanese fuzzy systems research effort, the goal of the book is to introduce fuzzy systems as a practical tool. After presenting the basics of fuzzy systems theory, the book presents practical applications of fuzzy systems theory in a wide variety of fields, including artificial intelligence and expert systems, diagnosis, control, robotics, image recognition, databases, and information retrieval.

Group Theory in Chemistry and Spectroscopy

  • 1st Edition
  • Boris S. Tsukerblat
  • English
Group theory inferences are widely applied to analyze the results of practically all spectroscopic methods used in organic and inorganic chemistry. Accordingly, group theory has become the working tool of chemists who not only synthesize new substances but also investigate their electronic structure and properties. This book is a manual for experimentalists, and all the fundamental concepts are introduced by way of simple examples that solve particular chemical and physical problems. In line with the practical bias of the book, the main results are presented as recipes for step-by-step use in practice. Every chapter contains problems which develop practical skills.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) I

  • 1st Edition
  • Volume 50
  • January 2, 1998
  • R. K. Willardson + 3 more
  • English
Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors.The"Willardson and Beer"Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices,Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise indeed that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded.Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in modern industry.

Introduction to Solid State Devices

  • 1st Edition
  • Lemuel Ibbotson
  • English
In this book the author provides a readily accessible, uncomplicated account of how some semiconductor devices work and why they are designed as they are. Assuming only the most rudimentary understanding of electronic circuits, it is truly introductory, illustrating the general principles underlying the whole range of devices and systems. Self assessment tests are liberally distributed throughout to allow the reader to gauge their understanding of the material as they work through, and exercises are given at the end of each chapter with full solutions provided for all. The author's easy-to-read style results in a text that will prove invaluable to all requiring an insight into the theory of semiconductors that will be essential for more advanced studies.
