Product Description

The worldwide semiconductor community faces increasingly difficult challenges in the era of silicon nanotechnology and beyond. The magnitude of these challenges demands special attention from the metrology and analytical measurements community. New paradigms must be found. Adequate research and development for new metrology concepts are urgently needed.

Characterization and metrology are key enablers for developing new semiconductor technology and in improving manufacturing. This book summarizes major issues and gives critical reviews of important measurement techniques that are crucial to continuing the advances in semiconductor technology. It covers major aspects of process technology and most characterization techniques for silicon research, including development, manufacturing, and diagnostics. The book also covers emerging nano-devices and the corresponding metrology challenges that arise.

Product Description
Ever need a fact or quotation on metrology? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "metrology," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in many unexpected examples for metrology, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster's Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org). ... Read more

Product Description
This should be of interest to researchers in universities, research centres and industries who are involved in measurements and need advanced mathematical tools to solve their problems, and to whoever is working in the development of these mathematical tools. Advances in metrology depend on improvement in scientific and technical knowledge and in instrumentation quality as well as a better use of advanced mathematical tools and in the development of new ones. In this book, scientists from both the mathematical and the metrological fields exchange their experiences. Industrial sectors such as instrumentation and software, are likely to benefit from this exchange, since metrology has a high impact on the overall quality of industrial products and applied mathematics is becoming more and more important in industrial processes. ...

Product Description
Despite more than 50 years' experience with outcome measurementin musculoskeletal clinical trials, there is little conformity in themethods used, and no standard text on clinical metrology exists. Thisnew book reviews the methods used to assess the clinical efficacy ofantirheumatic drugs in adult patients with musculoskeletal disease,focusing primarily on clinical rather than laboratory or radiographicmeasures.
There are four parts: overviews of fundamental issues in clinicalmetrology; of outcome measures relevant to antirheumatic drugs; areview of current clinimetric practices in rheumatoid arthritis,osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and fibromyalgia clinicaltrials; and a discussion of different measurement techniques. The textis complemented by many illustrations and three appendices.
The book is a highly informative text which will be of interest to allinvolved in evaluating treatment strategies for musculoskeletalpatients, as well as those involved in the development and regulationof antirheumatic drugs.
