Book SynopsisDiscover innovative tools that pave the way from circuit and physical design to fabrication processing Nano-CMOS Design for Manufacturability examines the challenges that design engineers face in the nano-scaled era, such as exacerbated effects and the proven design for manufacturability (DFM) methodology in the midst of increasing variability and design process interactions. In addition to discussing the difficulties brought on by the continued dimensional scaling in conformance with Moore''s law, the authors also tackle complex issues in the design process to overcome the difficulties, including the use of a functional first silicon to support a predictable product ramp. Moreover, they introduce several emerging concepts, including stress proximity effects, contour-based extraction, and design process interactions.

It is an enabler that ensures clear definition and communication of project scope while performing a critical role as a monitoring and controlling tool. Created by the three experts who led the development of PMI''s Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures, Second Edition, this much-needed text expands on what the standard covers and describes how to go about successfully implementing the WBS within the project life cycle, from initiation and planning through project closeout. Filling the gap in the literature on the WBS, Work Breakdown Structures: The Foundation for Project Management Excellence gives the reader an understanding of: The background and key concepts of the WBS WBS core characteristics, decomposition, representations, and tools ProTrade Review"This book is written for everyone responsible for project management or product development work. The topic of the book is a critically useful and important technique for describing and understanding any new product or project development. I applaud the efforts of the authors in showing not just the relevance of a WBS (Work Breakdown Structures) and WBS dictionary to planning a project but also to its execution. A significant contribution of this book is the prominent highlighting the scope of the project management function itself as one of the deliverables in the WBS."

Book SynopsisThe ever expanding market need for information on how to apply project management principles and the PMBOK contents to day-to-day business situations has been met by our case studies book by Harold Kerzner. That book was a spin-off from and ancillary to his best selling text but has gained a life of its own beyond adopters of that textbook. All indications are that the market is hungry for more cases while our own need to expand the content we control, both in-print and online woudl benefit from such an expansion of project management case content. The authors propose to produce a book of cases that compliment Kerzner''s book. A book that offers cases beyond the general project management areas and into PMI''s growth areas of program management and organizational project management. The book will be structured to follow the PMBOK in coverage so that it can not only be used to supplement project management courses, but also for self sudy and training courses for the PMP Exam.

Book SynopsisPolyolefins is the collective name for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) which are amongst the most widely used plastics today, accounting for more than half of total plastics consumption in the developed world. Available for the first time as a two-volume set, Polyolefin Blends and Polyolefin Composites comprehensively summarize and collect many of the technical research accomplishments conducted on blends and composites of polyolefin. The first books to focus exclusively on this subject, they serve as a one stop reference resource for the important research advances and accomplishments in recent years, with major emphasis given to the new area of polyolefin nano-blends and polyolefin nano-composites.

Book SynopsisAn accessible treatment of the modeling and solution of integer programming problems, featuring modern applications and software In order to fully comprehend the algorithms associated with integer programming, it is important to understand not only how algorithms work, but also why they work. Applied Integer Programming features a unique emphasis on this point, focusing on problem modeling and solution using commercial software. Taking an application-oriented approach, this book addresses the art and science of mathematical modeling related to the mixed integer programming (MIP) framework and discusses the algorithms and associated practices that enable those models to be solved most efficiently. The book begins with coverage of successful applications, systematic modeling procedures, typical model types, transformation of non-MIP models, combinatorial optimization problem models, and automatic preprocessing to obtain a better formulation. SubsequTrade Review"Thoroughly classroom-tested, Applied integer programming is an excellent book for integer programming courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels."

Book SynopsisA Convincing and Controversial Alternative Explanation of Metamaterials with a Negative Index of Refraction In a book that will generate both support and controversy, one of the world''s foremost authorities on periodic structures addresses several of the current fashions in antenna designmost specifically, the popular subject of double negative metamaterials. Professor Munk provides a comprehensive theoretical electromagnetic investigation of the issues and concludes that many of the phenomena claimed by researchers may be impossible. While denying the existence of negative refraction, the author provides convincing alternative explanations for some of the experimental examples in the literature. Although the debate on this subject is just beginning, Professor Munk has received support by various numerical simulations, winning him the encouragement of numerous experts in the field.

Book SynopsisThis book joins and integrates ceramics and ceramic-based materials in various sectors of technology. A major imperative is to extract scientific information on joining and integration response of real, as well as model, material systems currently in a developmental stage. This book envisions integration in its broadest sense as a fundamental enabling technology at multiple length scales that span the macro, millimeter, micrometer and nanometer ranges. Consequently, the book addresses integration issues in such diverse areas as space power and propulsion, thermoelectric power generation, solar energy, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), multi-chip modules, prosthetic devices, and implanted biosensors and stimulators. The engineering challenge of designing and manufacturing complex structural, functional, and smart components and devices for the above applications from smaller, geometrically simpler units requires innovative development of new inTable of ContentsPreface ix Contributors xi PART I INTRODUCTION 1 1 CERAMIC INTEGRATION ACROSS LENGTH SCALES: TECHNICAL ISSUES, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES 3 Mrityunjay Singh, Tatsuki Ohji, Rajiv Asthana, and Sanjay Mathur PART II SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR MACROSCALE INTEGRATION 15 2 CERAMIC COMPONENT INTEGRATION BY ADVANCED BRAZING TECHNOLOGIES 17 Jolanta Janczak-Rusch 3 JOINING AND INTEGRATION ISSUES OF CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES FOR THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY 39 Monica Ferraris, Milena Salvo, and Valentina Casalegno 4 AIR BRAZING: A NEW METHOD OF CERAMIC–CERAMIC AND CERAMIC–METAL JOINING 91 K.

Book SynopsisPublished in 1991, the first edition of Forecasting and Management of Technology was one of the leading handful of books to deal with the topic of forecasting of technology and technology management as this discipline was emerging.The new, revised edition of this book will build on this knowledge in the context of business organizations that now place a greater emphasis on technology to stay on the cutting edge of development.The scope of this edition has broadened to include management of technology content that is relevant to now to executives in organizations while updating and strengthening the technology forecasting and analysis content that the first edition is reputed for. Updated by the original author team, plus new author Scott Cunningham, the book takes into account what the authors see as the innovations to technology management in the last 17 years: the Internet; the greater focus on group decision-making including process management and mechanism Table of ContentsAcknowledgments xv 1 Introduction 1 1.1 About This Book 1 1.2 Technology and Society 2 1.2.1
