Overview: Covers all aspects of the science and technology of siliconSilicon. The evolution and development of humanity are commonly charac- terized by the key words Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age; that is, characterized by materials. Curse or benefit to mankind? The discovery and utilization of semiconductors, particularly of silicon, revolutionized our liv- ing conditions, society, social life, and maxims in a few years, even more than what happened during all the material-specified periods before. Per- haps, one day, our descendants will call the period at whose beginning we live the S

Overview: This volume contains the majority of the papers presented at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Semiotic Society of America, held in Lubbock, Texas, October 16-19, 1980. The varied styles topics, methodologies, and intellectual traditions represented here reflect the current state of flux in semiotics--a healthy chaos, in which new ideas vie for survival and experiment is at a premium. Because of this variety, we have kept our editorial in- terventions to a minimum. In addition, we have refrained from imposing any topical classification. While we could have used the panel titles as a ta

Overview: Geleitwort Die im Sommer 2005 entfachte Kapitalismus- und Heuschreckendebatte stellte den Ausgangspunkt vieler zuletzt erstellten wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen im Bereich der Beteiligungsfinanzierung dar; so auch die vorliegenden Arbeit. Seit der zweiten H?lfte der 90er Jahre konnte ein stetiges Wachstum der Beteiligun- finanzierungsbranche in Deutschland und Europa verzeichnet werden. Das Gesch?ftsmodell dieser Private Equity Unternehmen sieht vor, dass nach einer Haltedauer von 3-7 Jahren ein Portfoliounternehmen wieder ver?u?ert wird. Zu Beginn der ersten Dekade des neuen Jahr

Overview: Machine perception requires the digitization of physically-sensed signals. During the last ten years, digital range images have become available from a variety of sensors. This book is devoted to the problem of range image understanding with computers. Its aims are to develop a theoretical framework, devise appropriate algorithms, and demonstrate a software implementation of those algorithms that will confirm the usefulness of surfaces in range image understanding. It will be of interest to the researcher studying the theoretical concepts of image understanding, as well as the engine
