As a functional oxide material, zinc oxide (ZnO) has substantial research importance for its superior optical and electrical properties, which may lead a race for the innovation in the next decade. The fabrication, characterization, and applications of ZnO based nanostructures are the central issues of this book....

Honglei and Lily (Honglei Li, Xiying Yang) are two contemporary artists of our generation who represent the future direction of multimedia and mixed-realities arts for our time....

A background of desulfitative cross coupling of thioorganic compounds and boronic acids is well introduced in chapter 1. Desulfitative cross coupling reactions are successfully applied to synthesize organo nitrile, alkyne, heterocycle, amidine....

Fluid-structure interaction problems arise in many application fields such as flows around elastic structures or blood flow problems in arteries. One method for solving such a problem is based on a reduction to an equation at the interface, involving the so-called Steklov-Poincare operators....

During the design of products and systems, a core challenge for design teams is to make choices between design concepts that reflect a group\"s opinion and allows decisions to be traced back over time. Underlying such decision-making is the notion of preferences in which a design team assigns priorities to a set of design choices....

1. MBE growth a.) Cu-Ga codoped ZnO epilayers are grown on sappire (Al2O3) substrates by Plasma-Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxial. b.) The carrier concentration is displayed p-type. c.) Homemade MBE is possible to optimize the growth conditions. 2. Microwave growth a.) We have successfully synthesized ZnO NP by microwave-assisted process. b....

Scientists use carefully designed experiments to acquire basic understanding of the physical world. A large number of physics experiments are done by scattering various particles to study their behavior thus to gain insight into how they interact....

The world-wide availability of the huge amount of license-free spectral space in the 60 GHz band provides wide room for Gb/s wireless applications. A commercial (read: low-cost) 60-GHz transceiver will, however, provide limited system performance due to the stringent link budget and the substantial RF imperfections....

Regularization is a dominant theme in machine learning and statistics due to its prominent ability in providing an intuitive and principled tool for learning from high-dimensional data. As large-scale learning applications become popular, developing efficient algorithms and parsimonious models become promising and necessary for these applications....

An information system for logistics application is always expected to answer four questions: Who, What, When and Where (4Ws). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) aim to provide remote monitoring, which is regarded as \'When\' and \'What\'; Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) focuses on retrieving object identity, which is the answer of \'Who\'....

This book intends to provide the readers a good understanding on how to achieve Fault Tolerant Control goal of Hybrid Systems. The book can be used as a reference for the academic research on Fault Tolerant Control and Hybrid Systems or used in Ph.D. study of control theory and engineering....

This book provides the most recent methodological advances in applying advanced modeling techniques to road pricing....

Designed by Manuel Raeder in close collaboration with the artist, this fully illustrated catalogue focuses on Haegue Yang\'s concurrent 2011 exhibitions at Modern Art Oxford and the Aspen Art Museum....

Invented 2500-4000 years ago, the game of Go has enthralled hundreds of millions of people in Asia, where it is an integral part of the culture. In the West, hundreds of thousands have learned of its pleasures, especially after the game appeared in a number of hit movies, TV series, and books, and was included on major Internet game sites....
