Not only computer scientists, but also electrical engineers, and
others interested in electronics are targeted here, and thus the
presentation is directed toward understanding how a computer works,
while still providing a broad and effective one-year introduction
to classical and modern physics. The first half of the book covers
many of the topics found in a standard introductory physics course,
but with the selection tailored for use in the second half. This
second part then covers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics,
multi-electron systems, crystal structure, semiconductor devices,
and logic circuits. All the mathematical complexities treated are
alleviated by intuitive physical arguments, and students are
encouraged to use their own programming to solve problems. The only
prerequisite is some knowledge of calculus, and the second part can
serve by itself as an introduction to the physics of electronics
for students who have had a standard two-semester introductory
physics course. In this second edition, much of the material on
electronic devices has been brought up to date, and there is a new
chapter on integrated circuits and heterostructures.

The purpose of VLBV 2003 was to provide an international forum for
the d- cussion of the state of the art of visual content processing
techniques, standards, and applications covering areas such as:
video/image analysis, representation and coding, communications and
delivery, consumption, synthesis, protection, and adaptation. The
topics of special interest include all the areas relevant to image
communications nowadays, from representation and coding to content
classi?cation, adaptation, and personalization. A meeting covering
such a wide range of topics takes many years to develop. So, please
follow a brief story of the evolution of this relevant and
specialized forum and of its adaptation to the prevailing interests
along time. At the beginning of 1993, the idea of a specialized
workshop to discuss topics in advanced image communications came in
Lausanne, Switzerland, at a m- ting of the steering committee of
the International Picture Coding Symposium. Therefore, the
so-called International Workshop on Coding Techniques for Very Low
Bit-rate Video VLBV was born as low bit-rate research was
considered to be the leading edge. The ?rst workshop was held at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, in 1993; the
second at the University of Essex in Colchester, UK, in April 1994;
the third at NTT in Tokyo, Japan, in November
1995;thefourthattheUniversityofLink] oping, Sweden,
inJuly1997;the?fthin Urbana (again) in October 1998. Until this
last workshop, VLBV life was closely tied with MPEG-4, that is to
low bit-rate research.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Multimedia Applications, Services and Techniques, ECMAST'99, held in Madrid, Spain in May 1999.The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 71 submissions. The book is divided in sections on services and applications, multimedia terminals, content creation, physical broadcast infrastructure, multimedia over the Internet, metadata, 3D imaging, multicast protocols, security and protection, and mobility.
Nanoscale Science and Technology summarizes six years of active
research sponsored by NATO with the participation of the leading
experts.The book provides an interdisciplinary view of several
aspects of physics at the atomic scale. It contains an overview of
the latest findings on the transport of electrons in nanowires and
nanoconstrictions, the role of forces in probe microscopy, the
control of structures and properties in the nanometer range,
aspects of magnetization in nanometric structures, and local probes
for nondestructive measurement as provided by light and metal
clusters near atomic scales.
The perception of the atomic-scale world has greatly changed since
the discovery and development, in the early '80s, of scanning
tunneling microscopy by Binnig and Rohrer. Beyond the observation
of individual atoms, which is now routine, the concept of playing
with atoms has become commonplace. This has led to the fashioning
of tools at the atomic scale, to the deposition, the displacement
and the creation of atomic structures and also to a knowledge of
interactions and contacts between atoms. Nanotips ending with a
single atom are sources of ultra-fine charged beams. They can be
unique tools for high resolution observations, for
microfabrications by micro-machining and deposition at a scale not
previously attainable, with a working distance less stringent than
with STM devices. These nanosources should then be the starting
point for the development of high-performance miniature devices.
For all the subjects mentioned above, new laws have been identified
and circumscribed in the different articles. These proceedings
marked the shift of emphasis from a passive attitude of analysis
towards a more active role of the scientist in the creation and use
of atomic configurations. (ABSTRACT) This volume contains the
proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop which reviewed
the basic principles and highlighted the progress made during the
last few years on the atomic scale sources and the interactions
between microprobes and samples. The motivation is to use the novel
properties attached to the atomic dimensions to develop nanoscale
technologies.
Designed for computer scientists, electrical engineers and others
interested in electronics, this work explains how a computer works
via the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, multi-electron systems,
crystal structure, semiconductor devices and logic circuits. The
only prerequisite is some knowledge of calculus, and the second
half of the book can stand alone as an introduction to the physics
of electronics.
Teaches the fundamentals of physics to computer scientists,
electrical and electronic engineers. The presentation is directed
toward understanding the fundamental physics of how a computer
works, while still providing a broad and effective one-year
introduction to classical and modern physics. In this third
edition, the first part of the book has been revised somewhat to
include more references to the applications of the concepts in the
later parts, and the second part now includes sections on chaos and
complexity and on noise and information theory. The discussion of
devices and fabrication has been revised, and an appendix
introducing students to computer programming has been added. This
edition includes many new homework problems, including some that
involve writing computer programs.
