This book introduces the use of industrial CMOS processes to produce arrays of nanomechanical cantilever transducers with on-chip driving and signal conditioning circuitry. These cantilevers are familiar from Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and allow the sensitive detection of physical quantities such as forces and mass changes. The book is divided into three parts. First fabrication aspects and the mechanisms of cantilever resonators are introduced. Of the possible driving and sensing mechanisms, electrothermal and magnetic excitation, as well as piezoresistive detection and the use of MOS transistors for the deflection detection are introduced. This is followed by two application examples: The use of resonant cantilevers for the mass-sensitive detection of volatile organic compounds, and force sensor arrays for parallel Scanning Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) of large areas.

This book examines the Arabic conflict resolution method known as "sulha." In this process, notable male elders mediate conflicts between and within Arab communities. A lengthy process of political jockeying culminates in a ceremony that peaks when "enemies" shake hands and publicly forgive the crimes of the other. The reality of actual sulha deviates considerably from the ideal, but both the official framework and the actual events point to a deep seated valorization of peace and reconciliation in Israeli-Palestinian society.

Sharon Lang explores sharaf ('honour') as a social construct of Israeli-Palestinian society and how this key concept is inextricably linked to male emotion, identity and action. Providing ethnographic insight into the real life perspective and gendered politics of Israeli-Palestinian people, the book examines how sharaf is interwoven in acts of violence as well as matters of peacemaking. Family honour killings, murders of women by their fathers and brothers are analyzed in order to understand how male identity connects to female sexuality, and how sharaf may move a man to kill. Ultimately, the book illustrates how Palestinians have held onto and recreated indigenous political practices based on social norms and values of sharaf and reconciliation despite the imposition of Israeli systems of control.

This book is intended for scientists and engineers in the field of micro- and nano electro-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) and introduces the development of cantilever-based sensor systems using CMOS-compatible micromachining from the design concepts and simulations to the prototype. It is also a useful resource for researchers on cantilever sensors and resonant sensors in general The reader will become familiar with the potential of the combination of two technological approaches: IC fabrication technology, notably CMOS technology, and silicon micromachining and the resulting microstructures such as cantilever beams. It was recognized early that these two technologies should be merged in order to make the microstructures smart and devise integrated microsystems with on-chip driving and signal conditioning circuitry - now known as CMOS MEMS or, with the arrival of nanostructures, CMOS NEMS. One way to achieve the merger is the post-processing micro- or nano- machining of finished CMOS wafers, some of which is described in this book. The book introduces this approach based on work carried out at the Physical Electronics Laboratory of ETH Zurich on arrays of cantilever transducers with on-chip driving and signal conditioning circuitry. These cantilevers are familiar from Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and allow the sensitive detection of phys ical quantities such as forces and mass changes. The book is divided into three parts. First, general aspects of cantilever resona tors are introduced, e. g. their resonant behavior and possible driving and sensing mechanisms."

Part of The New Art and Science of Teaching series In The New Art and Science of Teaching Mathematics, authors Nathan D. Lang-Raad and Robert J.

Ein diagnostische Methode wie die Sonographie, die den Patienten so gut wie nicht belastet und keine Risiken in sich birgt, bietet sich zur Untersuchung von Kindern geradezu an. Daher uberrascht es, dass die Padiatrie dieses Verfahren trotz hervorragender Erfahrungen in der Erwachsenenmedizin nur zoegernd aufgriff und zunachst eine Indikation nur nach eingehender radiologischer und nuklearmedizinischer Diagnostik sah. Als Ergebnis intensiver wissenschaftlicher Beschaftigung mit der Methode und sicher- lich auch gefoerdert durch die technische Verfeinerung der Gerate hat sich die Einschatzung gewandelt. Die Sonographie steht mittlerweile am Be- ginn der morphologischen Diagnostik und hat damit die Funktion der Weichenstellung. Sie kann eine weiterfuhrende Diagnostik uberflussig machen oder aber den Weg fur deren gezielten und damit schonenden und rationellen Einsatz weisen. Das heisst, sie erganzt nicht mehr den Roentgen-, sondern den klinischen Befund und beeinflusst damit die Indikation und Durchfuhrung von Roentgenuntersuchungen. Die veranderte Untersuchungsstrategie hat ihrerseits auch Ruckwirkun- gen auf die Klinik gehabt. Das fehlende Untersuchungsrisiko beim Einsatz der Sonographie verpflichtet uns, auch aus unspezifischen Hinweisen auf einen pathologischen Prozess diagnostische Konsequenzen zu ziehen. Nur durch dieses Vorgehen kann letztlich die Fruhdiagnostik vieler Erkrankun- gen (z. B. Harnwegsfehlbildungen, Herzfehler, Hirnblutungen, Invaginatio- nen ete. ) entscheidend verbessert werden. Daraus lasst sich leicht ableiten, dass die Sonographie zu einer neuen Bewertung mancher Symptome gefuhrt hat und dass die verbesserte Fruh- und Verlaufsdiagnostik teilweise auch Einfluss auf das therapeutische Vorgehen genommen hat.
