Strain Effect in Semiconductors: Theory and Device Applications presents the fundamentals and applications of strain in semiconductors and semiconductor devices that is relevant for strain-enhanced advanced CMOS technology and strain-based piezoresistive MEMS transducers. Discusses relevant applications of strain while also focusing on the fundamental physics pertaining to bulk, planar, and scaled nano-devices. Hence, this book is relevant for current strained Si logic technology as well as for understanding the physics and scaling for future strained nano-scale devices.

Sometimes peace means silence, and justice means murder. Life for Gus Ambrose in the small community of River Falls, Georgia, is a constant struggle to seek wild adventure, understand the mystery of love and escape the pervasive boredom of high school. On the surface, River Falls is a peaceful and perfect world - a mix of quaint southern charm, happiness and safety. But the scars of the past have a way of working their way to the surface and slamming headlong into the present, shattering innocence and revealing the worst humanity has to offer. Set in the 1980s, segregation in America had been...

Scott Thompson speaks at conferences across the globe. He has trained and equipped tens of thousands of people to operate in the gift of Words of Knowledge. In this simple manual, he brings his training to you. Inside, you'll discover: -What exactly is a Word of Knowledge? -Learn different ways God communicates to you. -Read powerful testimonies of those who've been trained in the gift. -There are 4 different activations that equip you in the gift. Each one builds from the last as you go. By the time you finish all the activations, you will have seen God touch people in powerful ways as He...
