This landmark book deals with nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) and nonlinear mode localization. Offers an analysis which enables the study of various nonlinear phenomena having no counterpart in linear theory. On a more theoretical level, the concept of NNMs will be shown to provide an excellent framework for understanding a variety of distinctively nonlinear phenomena such as mode bifurcations and standing or traveling solitary waves.

Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) plays an important role in today's microelectronics industry. With its ability to achieve global planarization, its universality (material insensitivity), its applicability to multimaterial surfaces, and its relative cost-effectiveness, CMP is the ideal planarizing medium for the interlayered dielectrics and metal films used in silicon integrated circuit fabrication. But although the past decade has seen unprecedented research and development into CMP, there has been no single-source reference to this rapidly emerging technology-until now. Chemical Mechanical Planarization of Microelectronic Materials provides engineers and scientists working in the microelectronics industry with unified coverage of both the fundamental mechanisms and engineering applications of CMP. Authors Steigerwald, Murarka, and Gutmann-all leading CMP pioneers-provide a historical overview of CMP, explain the various chemical and mechanical concepts involved, describe CMP materials and processes, review the latest scientific data on CMP worldwide, and offer examples of its uses in the microelectronics industry. They provide detailed coverage of the CMP of various materials used in the making of microcircuitry: tungsten, aluminum, copper, polysilicon, and various dielectric materials, including polymers. The concluding chapter describes post-CMP cleaning techniques, and most chapters feature problem sets to assist readers in developing a more practical understanding of CMP. The only comprehensive reference to one of the fastest growing integrated circuit manufacturing technologies, Chemical Mechanical Planarization of Microelectronic Materials is an important resource for research scientists and engineers working in the microelectronics industry. An indispensable resource for scientists and engineers working in the microelectronics industry Chemical Mechanical Planarization of Microelectronic Materials is the only comprehensive single-source reference to one of the fastest growing integrated circuit manufacturing technologies. It provides engineers and scientists who work in the microelectronics industry with unified coverage of both the fundamental mechanisms and engineering applications of CMP, including: * The history of CMP * Chemical and mechanical underpinnings of CMP * CMP materials and processes * Applications of CMP in the microelectronics industry * The CMP of tungsten, aluminum, copper, polysilicon, and various dielectrics, including polymers used in integrated circuit fabrication * Post-CMP cleaning techniques * Chapter-end problem sets are also included to assist readers in developing a practical understanding of CMP.

The book concentrates in illustrating the applications of C-13 chemical shifts to structural and stereochemical analysis of a variety of organic, oranometallic and bio-organic compounds including dynamic NMR, the experimental conditions to determine and various multidimensional methods to assign the C-13 chemical shifts. First time a chemist who wants to employ C-NMR for solving a structural problem will find practically all necessary fundamental advice within the same covers. The book is a new volume in the successful series 'Methods in Stereochemical Analysis' and is geared towards scientists and students. It is limited mainly to alicyclic chemistry in order to make the explanations transparent and understandable to readers.

Physicians, scientists, medical technologists interested in diagnostic immunology are concerned with the determination of the body's immune status, measurement of the response to infection and the effects of over-and under-simulation of the response. Until now, there has been no book that covered this expanding and increasingly important field. 'The Principles and Practice of Diagnostic Immunology' details the art and science of diagnostic immunology. Unlike other books, this one is not about theories, but laboratory practice. Detailed coverage of procedures and techniques; comprehensive description of diagnostic immunology; explanation of methods and theories involved; full interpretation of the results; clinical correlations and rational for use of these tests; problem solving, what to do when the testing protocols don't work, are all covered throughly in this exciting new volume. Above all an enlightening section on laboratory management make this book an invaluable reference for all professionals and students interested in diagnostic immunology.

The possible importance of volatile alkyl and hydride derivates in environmental processes has only begun to be explored, and the literature on these compounds (especially the alkyls), while substantial, is widely diffused through many professional journals. This book will provide a critical, concise review on these compounds and will point out future possibilities and needs. It should appeal to environmental scientists, geochemists, toxicologists and persons interested in waste receycling.

HPLC: A Practical User's Guide is essential for chromatographers needing a proven training manual for setting up and running an HPLC system, for optimizing and cleaning columns and separations, and for obtaining separations and maximizing information from their system. Relying upon 15 years of laboratory and field troubleshooting experience, the author explains the basic techniques and shows how to use them to optimize separations. Proven methods are provided for starting up and maintaining HPLC systems, cleaning and troubleshooting column to the system problems, and systematic column treatment and methods development, both manual and automated. Coverage includes preparative HPLC, Diode Array, UV detectors, recent advances in HPLC/mass spectrometry, and a discussion of hardware configurations and interfacing to computers and data acquisition devices. A guide to separations, a glossary of terms, and a programmed self-learning guide are also included.

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) consists of image acquisition devices, storage archiving units, display stations, computer processors, and data base management systems currently being installed worldwide for special clinical applications and large-scale hospital use.  Written by the recognized pioneer in PACS and medical imaging research, the title presents a comprehensive treatment of all radiologic acquisition devices including conventional x-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed radiology (CR), and laser digitization.  "PACS" is organized such that a reader unfamiliar with these systems can skip the more advanced material and still grasp the overall concepts involving PACS technology; while the reader who has had more experience in these areas may delve into the clinical details underlying the applications. Although PACS was introduced by the radiology community, it can be applied to any scientific field that requires the management of information in the form of pictures.

Despite the central role anionic species have been shown to play in both mineralogical and biological processes, until now there have been no comprehensive references dealing exclusively with anionic coordination chemistry. Written by a group comprising pioneering researchers from the United States and Europe, Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions covers all theoretical and practical aspects of anion complexation, from thermodynamics and structure to catalysis and various applications. The authors begin with the 1967 discovery of halide inclusion by bicyclic diammonium receptors and trace the development of anion coordination chemistry through the most recent developments in the field. Topics covered in detail include: * Pre-supramolecular anion chemistry * Natural and artificial molecules that can act as anion receptors * Preorganization and chemical design * Structural, thermodynamic, electrochemical, and photochemical aspects of anion coordination * Computer methods for receptor design and multiple host-guest relations * Anion receptor catalysis and molecular recognition and transformation of nucleotides Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions is a valuable professional resource for organic and inorganic chemists, analytical chemists, biotechnologists, pharmaceutical scientists, and environmental chemists. It also serves as an excellent graduate-level text for students of molecular recognition, catalysis, and biomimetic chemistry.
