Electronic and Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Case Studies by Andrew M. Ellis
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (February 14, 2005) | ISBN: 0521817374 | Pages: 300 | PDF | 4 MB
Electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy provides extraordinarily detailed information on the properties of molecules. This book presents the basic principles and experimental techniques employed in electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy. A major feature is the extensive use of case studies to illustrate how spectra are assigned and how information can be extracted. The text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying courses in spectroscopy.
Microwave Molecular Spectra (Techniques of Organic Chemistry) by Walter Gordy
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc; 2nd edition (October 21, 1970) | ISBN: 0471931616 | Pages: 760 | PDF | 11.58 MB
Many exciting new developments in microwave spectroscopy have occurred since the earlier edition of this book was published in 1970. The frequency coverage of coherent microwave spectroscopy is still expanding. Although not comparable to the fourfold expansion that occurred in the 17 years preceding the 1970 edition, the millimeter wave range has been extended from 800 GHz to above 100 GHz since 1970.

Agent Mediated Electronic Commerce by Pablo Noriega
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (June 11, 1999) | ISBN: 3540659552 | Pages: 216 | PDF | 2.27 MB
Electronic Commerce, as a gamut of activities involving electronic transactions performed over a network via software that may be more or less autonomous, is an emerging reality. Strategic studies have shown that electronic commerce is a major growth industry. The book is devoted to the challenges and opportunities that electronic commerce opens for agent technology. For some time, electronic commerce has attracted the avid attention of agent-builders and agent technology researchers, and these have decisively contributed to advancing the state of the art in the field.
Electronic and Optical Properties of d-Band Perovskites by Thomas Wolfram
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (November 6, 2006) | ISBN: 0521850533 | Pages: 328 | PDF | 3.32 MB
The perovskite family of oxides includes a vast array of insulators, metals, and semiconductors. Current intense scientific interest stems from the large number of diverse phenomena exhibited by these materials including pseudo two-dimensional electronic energy bands, high temperature superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, piezoelectricity, magnetism, photochromic, and catalytic activity. This book is the first text devoted to a comprehensive theory of the solid-state properties of these fascinating materials.
Internet Banking and the Law in Europe: Regulation, Financial Integration and Electronic Commerce by Apostolos Ath Gkoutzinis
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (November 20, 2006) | ISBN: 0521860717 | Pages: 404 | PDF | 1.56 MB
The European Union has long sought to create a single financial area across Europe where consumers in one country benefit from financial markets and activities in other countries. With the emergence of the Internet as a platform for the provision of online banking services, the creation of a pan-European market for banking services appeared a realistic proposition. In practice, however, this has not happened.
Writings (Electronic Mediations) by Vilem Flusser
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press (May 2002) | ISBN: 0816635641 | Pages: 256 | PDF | 1.17 MB
Ten years after his death, the reputation of Vilém Flusser as one of Europe's most original modern philosophers continues to grow. Increasingly influential in Europe and Latin America, the Prague-born intellectual's thought has until now remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world due to a lack of translations. His innovative writings theorize-and ultimately embrace-the epochal shift that humanity is undergoing from what he termed "linear thinking" (based on writing) toward a new form of multidimensional, visual thinking embodied by digital culture.
Sustainable Development: Principles, Frameworks, and Case Studies by Okechukwu Ukaga
Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (January 7, 2010) | ISBN: 1439820627 | Pages: 242 | PDF | 1.64 MB
Exploring the human-related aspects of sustainable development, Sustainable Development: Principles, Frameworks, and Case Studies emphasizes the need to move away from an unwanted circumstance by being systemic in our thinking instead of symptomatic. The authors argue that we cannot move away from an unwanted, negative circumstance, unless we can move toward a desired, positive outcome. The text summarizes positive approaches and presents strong theoretical and historical concepts along with salient case examples that illustrate the desired outcome of each model or framework discussed.
Gender Differences in Mathematics: An Integrative Psychological Approach by Ann M. Gallagher
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (December 27, 2004) | ISBN: 0521826055 | Pages: 368 | PDF | 2.38 MB
This book explores gender differences in math performance--and why males outperform females on high stakes standardized tests but not in the classroom. These differences are important because scores on such tests are generally used in decisions that have important consequences for students such as college admissions and job placement. The contributions in this volume present a variety of theories and research that help to explain the differences, and highlight the consequences. Illustratively, if females receive lower scores on the tests, they are likely to be exposed to fewer opportunities thereafter.
Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications by Michael J. O'Connell
Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (May 3, 2006) | ISBN: 0849327482 | Pages: 360 | PDF | 10.25 MB
Since their discovery more than a decade ago, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have held scientists and engineers in captive fascination, seated on the verge of enormous breakthroughs in areas such as medicine, electronics, and materials science, to name but a few. Taking a broad look at CNTs and the tools used to study them, Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Applications comprises the efforts of leading nanotube researchers led by Michael O’Connell, protégé of the late father of nanotechnology, Richard Smalley. Each chapter is a self-contained treatise on various aspects of CNT synthesis, characterization, modification, and applications.

Materials for High-Density Electronic Packaging and Interconnection by Committee on Materials for High-Density Electronic Packaging
Publisher: National Academies Press (January 1, 1990) | ISBN: 030904233X | Pages: 156 | PDF | 6.43 MB
What is packaging? The subject of this report is commonly referred to as electronic packaging, but the term '"packaging" carries connotations that tend to trivialize the highly technical and critically important electronic context. Electronic packaging now goes well beyond physical protection and includes electric power distribution, signal transmission between integrated circuits, and, of growing importance, the removal of heat associated with the very high densities of circuit elements that are being achieved. Modern system performance is as much limited by these functions as by the operation of the integrated circuits.
