The aim of this NATO ASI has been to present an up-to-date overview of current areas of interest in amorphous materials. In order to limit the material to a manageable amount, the meeting was concerned exclusively with insulating and semiconducting materials. The lectures and seminars fill the gap between graduate courses and research seminars. The lecturers and seminar speakers were chosen as experts in their respective areas and the lectures and seminars that were given are presented in this volume. During the first week of the meeting. an emphasis was placed on introductory lectures, mainly associated with questions relating to the glass-formation and the structure of glasses. The second week focused more on research seminars. Each day of the meeting. about four posters were presented during the coffee breaks, and these formed an important focus for discussions. The posters are not reproduced in this volume as the editors wanted to have only larger contributions to make this volume more coherent. This volume is organized into four sections, starting with general considerations of the glass forming ability and techniques for the preparation of different kinds of glasses.

This book from MRS dedicated to III-Nitrides, focuses on developments in AlN, GaN, InN and their alloys that are now finding application in short-wavelength lasers (~400nm, cw at room temperature) and high-power electronics (2.8W/mm at GHz). Experts from fields including crystal growth, condensed matter theory, source chemistry, device processing and device design come together in the volume to address issues of both scientific and technological relevance. And while much of the book reports on advances in material preparation and the understanding of defect issues, similar advances in material and device processing are also reported. Topics include: growth and doping; substrates and substrate effects; characterization; processing and device performance and design.
The history of the UCL Institute of Education is one of persistent renewal. Since its founding in 1902 as the London Day Training College, through its establishment as a university institute and merger with UCL, the IOE has constantly grown into new areas of learning and social research. As a locus for leadership, it has exerted influence upon the nature and direction of education nationally and internationally. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, the connections between internal history and external historical developments are sensitively teased out. The result is an elegantly written history, characterised by substantial scholarship and analysis, and enlivened by illustrations and anecdo...

»Warum war er eigentlich geboren worden – er und seine Geschwister? Wäre es nicht besser für sie alle gewesen, nicht geboren worden zu sein?« Amalie Skram (1846–1905) führt »Die Leute vom Hellemyr« im abschließenden Band von 1898 bis in die »nächste Generation«, bis zu den Urenkeln von Sjur Gabriel und Oline, mit denen alles anfing. Auch hier sind die Standesgrenzen tief in die Lebensläufe eingemeißelt. Der Kampf um wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg und soziale Anerkennung bestimmt den Alltag der Ärmeren, und auch bei den Wohlhabenderen zählen emotionale Enttäuschungen und Lebensunglück zur Tagesordnung. Leise Hoffnung auf Besserung besteht in der jüngsten Generation, die Amalie Skram mit verständnisvoller Zuneigung und enormem Einfühlungsvermögen beschreibt.
