This book starts with background concerning three-dimensional integration - including their low energy consumption and high speed image processing - and then proceeds to how to construct them and which materials to use in particular situations. The book covers numerous applications, including next generation smart phones, driving assistance systems, capsule endoscopes, homing missiles, and many others. The book concludes with recent progress and developments in three dimensional packaging, as well as future prospects.

The 5th International Conference on Aspartic Proteinases was held on September 19 through 24, 1993, at Naito Museum of Pharmaceutical Science and Industry, Kawashima cho, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, about 15 miles northwest of Nagoya City. About 100 scientists attended the conference, including 52 from 14 countries outside Japan, and 32 papers were presented by invited speakers, and 58 papers as posters. The purpose of this conference was to present and discuss new information on the structure, function, and biology, and related topics, including biomedical implications, of aspartic proteinases, and this book is a collec tion of nearly all the papers presented at the meeting. Aspartic proteinases belong to one of the four major classes of proteinases, the others being serine, cysteine, and metalloproteinases, and are so called since they have two catalytic aspartic acid residues in common in their active sites. Most of them are optimally active at acidic pH, hence the long-used name "acid proteinases," which, indeed, was the major title of the first conference of this series. However, some of them are active at around neutral pH, indicating their physiological roles in a wider range of pH than hitherto considered.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Planet Earth and SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity cracked the top ten list in Honolulu. This third publication crystallizes the essence of these topics, linking them with current events and the future of our society. Have you wondered why we don't have a national energy policy, whether global warming is a hoax, how a nation that mostly believes God creating everything in less than 10,001 days became the greatest ever, and how we can best attain peace in our lifetime? If you do, then this is your must read book for the year.

Book 1 (SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Planet Earth) dealt with energy and the environment. SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity provides ultimate answers for our society and beyond. Ever wonder if there could ever be a way to end crime and war forever, or the prospects for immortality, or a better educational system, or the reality of extraterrestrial intelligence, or the future of religion? If all the above can be satisfactorily resolved, then, just in case there is no afterlife, where is the best place to live on Earth today? Simple solutions, of course, are hardly that. How to end crime? What about three strikes and you're dead Sure this should work, but it's not morally rational. The solution to war is incredibly simple. Just read the book and find out how. Scientists are getting very close to determining a way to disarm our aging gene. When will this happen? Our educational system is flawed. Be prepared to be shocked by the Stanford Marshmallow Study. Then find out that our terrible student scores relative to the developed world might not be worth all the anguish. The USA will prevail because of our superiority in.... Could the solution for world peace or curing cancer be streaming in from space? The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence could someday soon detect what would be the most monumental discovery since the invention of God. How can religion overcome the immorality of purporting to promise an afterlife WITHOUT ANY PROOF? A Golden Evolution is suggested. Are you one of those who has largely wasted your life looking out only for yourself, family and friends? Could there be a higher calling? You, too, can make a positive difference. Rainbow Vision is explained to equip you with the tools to help save Planet Earth and Humanity.

Simple Solutions: For Planet Earth is a scientific book written in a popular style for the average reader. You have read about Peak Oil and Global Climate Warming, and complained about $3.50/gallon gasoline, but how really serious are these headlines and annoyances? The author has worked his entire career on: the science, technology, education, administration and politics of these subjects, and crystallizes this complex field into understandable elements, providing simple solutions for humanity. Does it make sense for the renewable energy budget of the Federal Government to be about $1 billion/year when: o Annual tax incentives and government programs for the oil industry are supposedly in the range between $38 billion and $115 billion, although Lester Brown says $210 billion in 2005. o Farm subsidies alone in 2004 cost taxpayers $16.2 billion. o Our country spends $12 billion a month, or $144 billion/year, on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, ostensibly to protect oil, only to raise prices. The author's long experience with the Greenhouse Effect has led him to believe that methane, not carbon dioxide, could well be the critical gas of concern, for there is potential for global warming to cascade into, what he terms, the Venus Syndrome. The closing chapter speculates on a hypothesis regarding mega-tsunamis (100 meter waves) from landslides. While simple solutions are suggested, the problem is the inability of our civilization to agree on a workable strategy, which is further weakened by the lack of will on part of the general populace. Thus, the reader is urged to help make that crucial difference. Instructions and examples are provided on how to attain Rainbow Vision to carry out this mission for a better Planet Earth. The simplest solution is for everyone to join in on the effort.
