achievements.
In the 1970s researchers noticed that radioactive particles produced by elements naturally present in packaging material could cause bits to flip in sensitive areas of electronic chips. Research into the effect of cosmic rays on semiconductors, an area of particular interest in the aerospace industry, led to methods of hardening electronic...
The book presents the state of the art and results and also includes articles pointing to future developments. Most of the articles center around the theme of linear partial differential equations. Major aspects are fast solvers in elastoplasticity, symbolic analysis for boundary problems, symbolic treatment of operators, computer algebra,...
The increasing awareness on the varied consequences of hypogonadism in
distinct organs and systems has supported the notion of estrogens as systemic
agents. This observation is congruent with the variety of tissues affected by estrogens
when used in hormone therapy formulations on hypogonadic women.
