Analog Behavioral Modeling With The Verilog-A Language provides the IC designer with an introduction to the methodologies and uses of analog behavioral modeling with the Verilog-A language. In doing so, an overview of Verilog-A language constructs as well as applications using the language are presented. In addition, the book is accompanied by the Verilog-A Explorer IDE (Integrated Development Environment), a limited capability Verilog-A enhanced SPICE simulator for further learning and experimentation with the Verilog-A language. This book assumes a basic level of understanding of the usage of SPICE-based analog simulation and the Verilog HDL language, although any programming language background and a little determination should suffice. From the Foreword: `Verilog-A is a new hardware design language (HDL) for analog circuit and systems design. Since the mid-eighties, Verilog HDL has been used extensively in the design and verification of digital systems. However, there have been no analogous high-level languages available for analog and mixed-signal circuits and systems. Verilog-A provides a new dimension of design and simulation capability for analog electronic systems. Previously, analog simulation has been based upon the SPICE circuit simulator or some derivative of it. Digital simulation is primarily performed with a hardware description language such as Verilog, which is popular since it is easy to learn and use. Making Verilog more worthwhile is the fact that several tools exist in the industry that complement and extend Verilog's capabilities ... Behavioral Modeling With the Verilog-A Language provides a good introduction and starting place for students and practicing engineers with interest in understanding this new level of simulation technology. This book contains numerous examples that enhance the text material and provide a helpful learning tool for the reader. The text and the simulation program included can be used for individual study or in a classroom environment ...' Dr. Thomas A. DeMassa, Professor of Engineering, Arizona State University
Photosynthesis Catalyst of Life By Marvin Ira Miller When L.E.D. came on the market, author Marvin Ira Miller was involved with indoor operations dealing with producing medical plants. Quickly it became apparent to apply them properly. He had to have an understanding of what light is and what photosynthesis is. After a month of research it seemed nobody seemed to know and as for light, it all depends on who you talk to. Science has branched off so many directions. Their language has gotten to the point that if you ask a physicist, a chemist and a biologist to describe how to boil a cup of water they will all end up with a 20 page formula filled with hundred dollar words. They will pass their paper to the right and they all sit there quietly, pretending like they knew what the other scientist was saying. Then you walk in and grab a cup, fill it with water, throw it in the microwave for a minute and turn to see them glaring at you. It’s no wonder with photosynthesis you have to have an understanding of a number of different fields and how they fit together. Miller’s background is more in engineering. If there was a room filled with equipment where you put this in here that comes out there, he was the one they called when everyone else was scared to go in. As with everything else complicated in life, break it down to its simplest components and it becomes easy when you never use the word ‘can’t.’ This book is meant to pass on what Miller discovered and tell it in a way the guy who put the cup in the microwave could understand. The goals are simple. First is to leave you with a comprehension of light, since there are many other areas its properties can be applied. Second is to give you the knowledge of what photosynthesis is and use words the rest of us people without all the big words understand. Once you have an understanding of these two things, by the end of the book you will start to understand the true value of L.E.D. systems besides power savings. By knowing desired outcomes and chemical makeup you will see the ability to alter the chemical direction for things such as color, taste, smell, or pharmaceutical direction just by adding or subtracting different frequency combinations. And, finally, when a light salesman comes up to you and says for five dollars more you can get this lamp because it has 50 more lux you can look at him laughing and say what does that have to do with growing plants. Marvin Ira Miller hates sales people.

The three essays in this volume present an introduction to history of the emancipation of the slaves during the Civil War. The first essay traces the destruction of slavery by discussing the shift from a war for the Union to a war against slavery. The slaves are shown to have shaped the destiny of the nation through their determination to place their liberty on the wartime agenda. The second essay examines the evolution of freedom in occupied areas of the lower and upper South. The struggle of those freed to obtain economic independence in difficult wartime circumstances indicates conflicting conceptions of freedom among former slaves and slaveholders, Northern soldiers and civilians. The third essay demonstrates how the enlistment and military service of nearly 200,000 slaves hastened the transformation of the war into a struggle for universal liberty, and how this experience shaped the lives of former slaves long after the war had ended.

This book is for experienced consultants who want to improve their connection with CEOs and c-suite executives. One of the most powerful tools for us consultants is stories. The right story at just the right time reveals more about the client's options, our own nature, and a bit of history; it is the way most adults learn. These stories are meant to help the reader in three ways: 1. Trigger memories that lead to their own, unique consultant stories 2. Use these stories, when appropriate, as educational material for their executive clients, and 3. Encourage consultants to listen for stories from others: clients, friends, business associates
