my yearly pilgrimage to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet
Club for The Championships, otherwise known as Wimbledon.
This trip has become an annual opportunity to reflect upon the
latest season of hockey, the sport that usually commands the bulk
of my professional... | | Nanoscale Materials in Chemistry
Nanotechnology is almost a household word now-a-days, or at least some word with
‘‘nano’’ in it, such as nanoscale, nanoparticle, nanophase, nanocrystal, or nanomachine.
This field now enjoys worldwide attention and a National Nanotechnology
Initiative (NNI) is about to be launched.

Wearable Robots: Biomechatronic Exoskeletons
Being a multidisciplinary area involving subjects such as mechanics, electronics and computing, the
evolution and spread of robotics to different application sectors still requires intense interaction with
other fields of science and technology. This applies equally when dealing with wearable robots,
meaning robotic systems that a... | | Engineering Analysis of Smart Material Systems
The field of smart materials has grown considerably in the past ten to fifteen years
as topics have transitioned from basic research to commercial applications. In the
beginning stages of my career it was still rather exotic for a device or structure to
be called “smart.” It was the early 1990s, and while the... | | Compiler Construction Using Java, JavaCC, and Yacc
Broad in scope, involving theory, the application of that theory, and programming technology, compiler construction is a moving target, with constant advances in compiler technology taking place. Today, a renewed focus on do-it-yourself programming makes a quality textbook on compilers, that both students and instructors will enjoy using, of... |
