Since 1995, when Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation, the field has grown enormously in importance, and today restorers and laser scientists work together to develop new applications. This book presents the more than six dozen research papers prepared for LACONA V (Lasers in Art Conservation), held in Osnabrueck/Germany in September 2003. The fifth congress once again gathered restorers, art historians, museum staff, laser scientists and laser manufacturers. The topics include, among others: laser cleaning of...

Over the last decades, the use of lasers in artwork conservation has became an important tool for many conservators, scientists, architects and other experts, who are involved in the care of monuments and artefacts or applied laser technology. Professor Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists in 1995 to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation. The field of "Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks" has since gained considerably in importance, and nowadays restorers and laser scientists work closely together to develop new applications. Furthermore a large...

The common question from the western point of view is of the sort; why did China lose its early leadership of productive technologies to Europe during the early modern period? Answers to this seemingly clear enquiry vary from general cultural inwardness to the interferences of imperial governance. This collection surveys such theories but alters the issue by raising the notion that Chinese technologies did not so much fail as move along a path different from that of Europe.

Our second collection on the Mindful Hand, also shifts common ground by querying and modifying common views of...

CMOS chips are becoming increasingly important in computer circuitry. They have been widely used during the past decade, and they will continue to grow in popularity in those application areas that demand high performance. Challenging the prevailing opinion that circuit simulation can reveal all problems in CMOS circuits, Masakazu Shoji maintains that simulation cannot completely remove the often costly errors that occur in circuit design. To address the failure modes of these circuits more fully, he presents a new approach to CMOS circuit design based on his systematizing of circuit...

Die Logistik ist ein wichtiger Schlussel zur erfolgreichen unternehmerischen Tatigkeit in allen Bereichen der Wirtschaft. Planung, Steuerung, Durchfuhrung und Optimierung der innerbetrieblichen und der weltumspannenden Material- und Informationsflusse setzen in zunehmendem Mae die enge Verbindung des Wissens von Ingenieuren, Betriebswirten und Volkswirten voraus.

In diesem Verstandnis bringt das Handbuch Logistik seinen Lesern die grundlegenden Methoden und Modelle logistischer Prozesse nahe und zeigt die Verankerung dieses Gebietes in den Ingenieurs- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften....
