SCALING AND INTEGRATION OF HIGH SPEED ELECTRONICS AND OPTOMECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Edited by Magnus Willander (Linköping University, Sweden) & an e er on (Halmstad University, Sweden)

Pub Date: Jun 2017Binding: HardcoverISBN: 978-981-3225-39-8Price: £60Page Extent: 152ppType: Review VolumeMain Subject: Engineering/AcousticsSub-subjects: Electrical & Electronic Engineering; Circuits & Systems; MicroelectronicsBIC: TJFDBISAC: TEC008080; TEC008070; TEC008090

e ord CMOS: SiGe BiCMOS; Terahertz (THz); Niche TechnologyReadership: Scientists, engineers, research leaders, and even investors interested in microelectronics, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics. It is also recommended to graduate students working in these fieldsImprint: World Scientific Publishing CompanySeries: Selected Topics in Electronics and Systems - Volume 59

Key Features:• This book includes a comprehensive review on latest innovations regarding devices and

integration challenges in the CMOS industry• The book presented the scaling challenges for CMOS from an industrial point of view,

SiGe BiCMOS technologies, circuits for mm-wave and THz applications and processtechnologies for the 14 nm node and beyond

e cr tionCoined as the third revolution in electronics is under way; Manufacturing is going digital, driven by computing revolution, powered by MOS technology, in particular, by the CMOS technology and its development.

In this book, the scaling challenges for CMOS: SiGe BiCMOS, THz and niche technology are covered; the first article looks at scaling challenges for CMOS from an industrial point of view (review of the latest innovations); the second article focuses on SiGe BiCMOS technologies (deals with high-speed up to the THz-region), and the third article reports on circuits associated with source/drain integration in 14 nm and beyond FinFET technology nodes. Followed by the last two articles on niche applications for emerging technologies: one deals with carbon nanotube network and plasmonics for the THz region carbon, while the other reviews the recent developments in integrated on-chip nano-optomechanical systems.

EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL CHINESE MEDICINEVolume 3: Chronic urticaria

e cr tionEvidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine provides a “whole evidence” analysis of the Chinese medicine management of chronic urticaria. The inclusion of classical Chinese medicine literature, comprehensively reviewed using systematic methods, provides the readers with a history of changes in terminology and treatment approaches from pre-Tang dynasty (before 618 AD) to modern times. Rigorous processes have been developed to ensure consistency of the search, extraction and synthesis of data from the classical literature into the body of evidence for urticaria.

This book integrates evidence from the contemporary and classical literatures with the results of clinical studies to make evidence-based statements for easy application at the point of care. In addition, the actions of the Chinese herbs most frequently used in controlled trials are discussed in light of the results of in-vivo and in-vitro studies. This provides the reader with an understanding of how these Chinese herbs exert their effects.

The authors are internationally recognized, well-respected leaders in the field of Chinese medicine and evidence-based medicine with strong track records in research.

THE QUANTUM PUZZLECritique of Quantum Theory and Electrodynamics

By Barry R Clarke (Brunel University, UK)

Pub Date: Jun 2017Binding: HardcoverISBN: 978-981-4696-96-8 Price: £77Page Extent: 400ppType: Reference BookMain Subject: PhysicsSub-subjects: Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information; History of Science; Electromagnetism and Plasma Physics BIC: PHQBISAC: SCI057000; SCI055000; SCI034000Keywords: Quantum Physics; Quantum Mechanics; History of Science; Hydrogen Atom; Electromagnetism; Barry Clarke Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in quantum physicsImprint: World Scientific Publishing Company

e cr tionIn 1861, James Clerk–Maxwell published Part II of his four-part series “On physical lines of force”. In it, he attempted to construct a vortex model of the magnetic field but after much effort neither he, nor other late nineteenth century physicists who followed him, managed to produce a workable theory. What survived from these attempts were Maxwell’s four equations of electrodynamics together with the Lorentz force law, formulae that made no attempt to describe an underlying reality but stood only as a mathematical description of the observed phenomena. When the quantum of action was introduced by Planck in 1900 the difficulties that had faced Maxwell’s generation were still unresolved. Since then theories of increasing mathematical complexity have been constructed to attempt to bring the totality of phenomena into order with little success. This work examines the problems that had been abandoned long before quantum mechanics was formulated in 1925 and argues that these issues need to be revisited before real progress in the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field can be made.
