Physical Properties (Continued)

By: Elisabeth Koch-Bienemann,Liselotte Berg,Gerhard Czack

The present volume continues the edition of a number of supplement volumes dealing with the elements tungsten and molybdenum. Technology and metallurgy of molybdenum and tungsten have been described in the respective volumes A 1. Tungsten Supplement Volume A 2 has been published and comprises the nuclear and atomic properties, sections on the clusters and the vapor, the electronic structure, the lattice dynamics, and the basic crystallographic properties. The present volume A/3 deals with the relationships between lattice defects and mechanical properties. Each of the subsequent chapters, concerning the thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties, has a somewhat larger scope than the corresponding chapter in the Molybdenum Supplement Volumes. Within these chapters, some noteworthy facts are the following: the melting point of tungsten is the highest of all metals, i.e., 3695 K, the behavior of the current carriers has been studied in great detail by numerous methods, and the emissivity characteristics have received much attention above all because of the high melting point. Another special feature is the very intense study of all surface properties and the phenomena, which will be described in a forthcoming volume.

Investment Strategies: Implementation and Performance

By: Gerhard W”rtche

This book analyzes several investment strategies that are applied to an international equity portfolio. The evaluated strategies are: the Simple Crossover Moving Average, the Equally Weighted Portfolio, the Minimum Variance Portfolio, the Certainty Equivalent Tangency Portfolio, the James Stein Estimator and the Black Litterman Model. Besides the applied methodology part which demonstrates how to implement the considered strategies, the empirical section shows from the viewpoint of a European investor whether the final performance parameters are mainly due to returns of foreign markets or through exchange rate developments. The investigation is carried out from an ex ante as well as from an ex post perspective. In order to examine the time window of a strategy, the in- and the out of the sample periods are varied. The empirical investigation indicates that - the relative young more sophisticated approaches are superior to the traditional strategies, the impact of exchange rate developments cannot be ignored in an equity portfolio, nearly no conclusion can be drawn in the context of a superior in- and out of the sample period.

Computational Electronics

Semiclassical and Quantum Device Modeling and Simulation

By: Dragica Vasileska,Stephen M. Goodnick,Gerhard Klimeck

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with the description of complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for quantum transport analysis of state-of-the-art devices, Computational Electronics: Semiclassical and Quantum Device Modeling and Simulation provides a comprehensive overview of the essential techniques and methods for effectively analyzing transport in semiconductor devices. With the transistor reaching its limits and new device designs and paradigms of operation being explored, this timely resource delivers the simulation methods needed to properly model state-of-the-art nanoscale devices. The first part examines semiclassical transport methods, including drift-diffusion, hydrodynamic, and Monte Carlo methods for solving the Boltzmann transport equation. Details regarding numerical implementation and sample codes are provided as templates for sophisticated simulation software. The second part introduces the density gradient method, quantum hydrodynamics, and the concept of effective potentials used to account for quantum-mechanical space quantization effects in particle-based simulators. Highlighting the need for quantum transport approaches, it describes various quantum effects that appear in current and future devices being mass-produced or fabricated as a proof of concept. In this context, it introduces the concept of effective potential used to approximately include quantum-mechanical space-quantization effects within the semiclassical particle-based device simulation scheme. Addressing the practical aspects of computational electronics, this authoritative resource concludes by addressing some of the open questions related to quantum transport not covered in most books. Complete with self-study problems and numerous examples throughout, this book supplies readers with the practical understanding required to create their own simulators.

Endosonography in Obstetrics and Gynecology

By: Gerhard Bernaschek,Josef Deutinger,Alfred Kratochwil

More than 25 years ago, when ultrasound diagnostic methods were first intro duced into gynecology and obstetrics, few of the pioneers of these techniques sus pected what importance sonographic diagnosis was destined to assume. It was soon recognized that the organs of the lesser pelvis could be visualized to much greater advantage by inserting probes into the natural bodily orifices than by abdominal sonography. Full exploitation of the physical properties of ultra sound had to wait, as so often in the history of sonography, for technological ad vances. Endosonography in the form available to us today combines the advantages of endoscopy and sonography. The next light-reflecting surface, once the limit of en doscopy, represents no barrier to ultrasound. A whole range of both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be sonographically guided. Blood flow in vessels lying deep in the lesser pelvis can now be measured by means of vaginal duplex sonography.

Hitler's Foreign Policy 1933-1939

The Road to World War II

By: Gerhard L. Weinberg

Hitler’s path to war consisted of two different stages that paralleled the internal development of Germany. From 1933 to the end of 1936, he created a diplomatic revolution in Europe. From a barely accepted equal, Germany became the dominant power on the continent. With the remilitarization of the Rhineland, the stalemate in the Spanish Civil War, the forming of the Axis, and the signing of the Anti-Comintern Pact, the first phase was completed. In the second phase, the diplomatic initiative in the world belonged to Germany and its partners. Germany’s march toward war therefore became the central issue in world diplomacy.
