Introductory Remarks: Microelectronics, Radiation, and Superconductivity

Microelectronics, radiation, and superconductivity.

Among the costs of technology are health hazards that face employees and consumers. New advances in the highly competitive field of microelectronics involve exposure to a variety of hazards such as gallium arsenide. Small high-technology industries appear unprepared to invest in health and safety. Although stray electromagnetic fields are not a new development, researchers are beginning to asse...

Introductory remarks.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a difficult disorder to study because there is no convincing evidence for a simple, basal, physiologic lesion associated with it. PMS is characterized by a cyclic recurrence of symptoms of varying severity and is temporally related to menstruation, with exacerbation of symptoms during the luteal phase. Some new models are being developed to aid in studying PMS.

Introductory Remarks

We first review B-splines and splines constructed using B-splines as the basis functions.

Introductory Remarks

Is this a math course or a physics course? General relativity is taught in the mathematics department at the undergraduate level (as well as the physics department at the graduate level) because – • There are faculty members in the math department doing research in areas related to general relativity. • An introductory GR course requires a large dose of special mathematics, not encountered in o...
