An up-to-date, practical guide on upgrading from silicon to GaN, and how to use GaN transistors in power conversion systems design This updated, third edition of a popular book on GaN transistors for efficient power conversion has been substantially expanded to keep students and practicing power conversion engineers ahead of the learning curve in GaN technology advancements. Acknowledging that GaN transistors are not one-to-one replacements for the current MOSFET technology, this book serves as a practical guide for understanding basic GaN transistor construction, characteristics, and applications. Included are discussions on the fundamental physics of these power semiconductors, layout, and...

How do you create your own definition of success—and reach your unique potential? Building a fulfilling life and career can be a daunting challenge. It takes courage and hard work. Too often, we charge down a path leading to “success” as defined by those around us—and ultimately, are left feeling dissatisfied. Each of us is unique and brings distinctive skills and qualities to any situation. So why is it that most of us fail to spend sufficient time learning to understand ourselves and creating our own definition of success? The truth is, it can seem so natural and so much easier to just do what everyone else is doing—for now—leaving it for later to develop our best selves and fi...
Graduate students depend on this series and ask for it by name. Why? For over 30 years, it's been the only one-stop source that supplies all of their information needs. The new editions of this six-volume set contain the most comprehensive information available on more than 1,500 colleges offering over 31,000 master's, doctoral, and professional-degree programs in more than 350 disciplines. New for 1997 -- Non-degree-granting research centers, institutes, and training programs that are part of a graduate degree program. Five discipline-specific volumes detail entrance and program requirements, deadlines, costs, contacts, and special options, such as distance learning, for each program, if available. Each Guide features "The Graduate Adviser", which discusses entrance exams, financial aid, accreditation, and more. The only source that covers nearly 4,000 programs in such areas as oncology, conservation biology, pharmacology, and zoology.
Receptor autoradiography is an invaluable technique that is widely used to localize and characterize peptide and neurotransmitter binding sites. Its extensive use reflects the utility of the technique and the important advantages it offers over conventional biochemical procedures. This instructive work makes receptor autoradiography more accessible by giving a detailed account of the methodology and its application in the analysis of receptors in the brain and peripheral organs. These examples are not exhaustive but illustrate the versatility of the technique as well as its potential pitfalls. The book provides an introduction to the receptor concept and gives detailed information on the theory and procedures involved in the autoradiographic localization and quantification of radiolabelled ligand binding sites. This volume will be an essential tool for neuroscientists, pharmacologists, histochemists, neuropathologists, researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, and students of the biological sciences.
