The MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) market returned to growth in 2010. The total MEMS market is worth about $6.5 billion, up more than 11 percent from last year and nearly as high as its historic peak in 2007. MEMS devices are used across sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial process control, instrumentation and telecommunications – forming the nerve center of products including airbag crash sensors, pressure sensors, biosensors and ink jet printer heads. Part of the MEMS cluster within the Micro & Nano Technologies Series, this book covers the fabrication techniques and applications of thick film piezoelectric micro electromechanical systems (MEMS). It includes examples of applications where the piezoelectric thick films have been used, illustrating how the fabrication process relates to the properties and performance of the resulting device. Other topics include: top-down and bottom-up fabrication of thick film MEMS, integration of thick films with other materials, effect of microstructure on properties, device performance, etc. - Provides detailed guidance on the fabrication techniques and applications of thick film MEMS, for engineers and R&D groups - Written by a single author, this book provides a clear, coherently written guide to this important emerging technology - Covers materials, fabrication and applications in one book
State-of-the-art approaches to cancer management from the world's #1 oncology center The perfect clinical desk manual from the experts at MD Anderson Cancer Center Read the outstanding reviews of the previous edition: "As a detailed guide, [the book] offers practitioners a clear, user-friendly approach to the care of patients with cancer." -- New England Journal of Medicine "The portions of the text that summarize the chemotherapeutic literature are helpful and potentially useful to a busy medical oncologist. The graphic representations and flow charts are of high quality, are well designed and easy to follow, and are clinically useful. A number of good photographs have been provided that illustrate pathologic conditions....the Manual is well written, has extremely useful graphics, and represents a useful entry point for those interested in the management of malignant diseases." -- International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics "...[MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology] fulfills its goals of helping clinicians quickly evaluate therapeutic regimens and possibilities. Surgeons and radiation oncologists will find the text useful as a reference guide to what the medical oncologist can do and how the medical oncologist views their disciplines. The text is also of considerable help for physicians studying for board certification or recertification in medical oncology. Practicing medical oncologists would do well to have it in their personal libraries." -- Journal of the American Medical Association MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology offers clinicians an authoritative, easy-to-follow guide to the medical management of patients with cancer and its complications. Featuring concise but practical text and a large number of decision-making algorithms, the book gives physicians a current, templated approach to each disease and situation -- backed by the clincal expertise and authority of world recognized oncology researchers/practitioners. Key Features REVISED: competely updated coverage of the quickly evolving world of cancer therapeutics NEW: chapters include "Expert Commentary Sidebars" that provide clinical insights from leading subspecialists in radiation therapy, surgical oncology, pathology, and laboratory medicine NEW: brand new chapters on myelodysplasia, myeloproliferative diseases, and appendiceal cancer NEW: a brand new chapter on the important and underpublished topic of psycho-social issues in oncology Consistently formatted for a unified patient management strategy Packed with time-saving features, including The MD Anderson Work-Up Box and The MD Anderson Preferred Treatment Box
