Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is now recognized as a crucial tool in materials science. This book, authored by a team of expert Chinese and international authors, covers many aspects of modern electron microscopy, from the architecture of novel electron microscopes, advanced theories and techniques in TEM and sample preparation, to a variety of hands-on examples of TEM applications. Volume II illustrates the important role that TEM is playing in the development and characterization of advanced materials, including nanostructures, interfacial structures, defects, and macromolecular complexes.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Model Transformations, ICMT 2013, held in Budapest, Hungary, in June 2013. The 13 full papers and 5 tool and application demonstrations were carefully selected from 58 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections which focus on new programming models, tools and applications, evolution and synchronization, transformation engineering, and testing.
The book, Visser’s Annotated European Patent Convention, is a commentary on the European Patent Convention and a bestseller in European patent law. The 2024 edition of this preeminent work – the only regularly updated authoritative article-by-article commentary in English on the European Patent Convention (EPC), its implementing regulations, and associated case law provides the complete text of the law annotated with commentary and expert guidance on the interpretation of each paragraph. Since its first edition in 1994 it has provided the European patent community with the necessary insights to practice successfully before the European Patent Office. The EPO recommends the Visser’s Ann...
Examines contemporary issues effecting the quality of life on Earth, covering such topics as global climate change, threats to wildlife, and a dramatic increase in world population.
Program generation holds the promise of helping to bridge the gap between application-level problem solutions and efficient implementations at the level of today's source programs as written in C or Java. Thus, program generation can substantially contribute to reducing production cost and time-to-market in future software production, while improving the quality and stability of the product. This book is about domain-specific program generation; it is the outcome of a Dagstuhl seminar on the topic held in March 2003. After an introductory preface by the volume editors, the 18 carefully reviewed revised full papers presented are organized into topical sections on - surveys of domain-specific programming technologies - domain-specific programming languages - tool support for program generation - domain-specific techniques for program optimization
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of 10 internationl workshops and 2 symposia held as satellite events of the 10th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, MoDELS 2007, in Nashville, TN, USA, in September/October 2007 (see LNCS 4735). The 29 revised full papers were carefully selected for inclusion in the book and are presented along with a doctoral and an educators' symposium section. The papers are organized in topical sections representing the various workshops: aspect-oriented modeling (AOM 2007), language engineering (ATEM2007), model driven development of advanced user interfaces (MDDAUI 2007), model size metrics (MSM 2007), model-based design of trustworthy health information systems (MOTHIS 2007), model-driven engineering, verification and validation (MoDeVVa 2007), modelling systems with OCL (Ocl4All 2007), Models@run.time, multi-paradigm modeling: concepts and tools (MPM 2007), quality in modeling, doctoral symposium, and educators' symposium.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA-99, held in Trento, Italy in July 1999 as part of FLoC'99. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 53 submissions. Also included are four system descriptions as well as three invited contributions. Among the topics covered are constraint solving, termination, deduction and higher order rewriting, graphs, complexity, tree automata, context-sensitive rewriting, string rewriting and numeration systems, etc.
Now in its second edition, the Oxford Textbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes is a fully comprehensive, evidence-based, and highly-valued reference work combining basic science with clinical guidance, and providing first rate advice on diagnosis and treatment.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering, GPCE 2005, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in September/October 2005. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 2 tool demonstration papers were carefully selected from 86 initial submissions following a round of reviewing and improvement. The papers, which include three full invited papers, are organized in topical sections on aspect-oriented programming, component engineering and templates, demonstrations, domain-specific languages, generative techniques, generic programming, meta-programming and transformation, and multi-stage programming.
