Microbial production: From genome design to cell surface engineering affords a comprehensive review of novel technology and approaches being implemented for manufacturing microorganisms, written by specialists in both academia and industry. This book is divided into three sections: the first includes technology for improvement of fermentation strains and many supporting technologies and information; the second examines novel technology useful for analysis of cell activities, analyzing gene function, and designing genomes of producer strains; and finally, a discussion of the practical application of the techniques and success case studies in many fields of bio-production, such as microbiological production, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods and cosmetics.
Automatic Speech Translation introduces recent results of Japanese research and development in speech translation and speech recognition. Topics covered include: fundamental concepts of speech recognition; speech pattern representation; phoneme-based HMM phoneme recognition; continuous speech recognition; speaker adaptation; speaker-independent speech recognition; utterance analysis, utterance transfer, utterance generation; contextual processĀing; speech synthesis and an experimental system of speech translation. This book presents the complicated technological aspects of machine translation and speech recognition, and outlines the future directions of this rapidly developing area of technology.
This tract describes in detail the semiconductor components of the high-frequency front end-the electronic tuner-of televisions and VCRs. These high-frequency components substantially determine performance, including clarity of reception, and thus their quality is crucial to the success of electronic tuners. The semiconductor devices involved-voltage-variable capacitance diodes, band-switch diodes, dual-gate FETs, and others-are discussed in this book, as is their performance as mediators of tuning and amplification. Special emphasis is put on the analysis of distortion characteristics of tuning diodes and FETs, which are essential in providing tuners with high endurance against interfering signals. Design and fabrication processes well suited for mass production are also described. The content will be most informative not only to those involved in R&D and production of semiconductor devices, but also to high-frequency systems designers.
A highly technical treatment of specialized transistors. Abe examines high electron mobility transistors, detailing their physical principles, operational characteristics, and analog and digital applications. Yokoyama describes some resonant tunnelling devices: hot electron and bipolar transistors, and barriers using InGaAs-based material. Both authors are from Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. in Atsugi, Japan. A very small book for the price, and on acid paper as well. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
