It is well balanced between theory and practice and covers topics from binary numbers and logic gates to K-maps, variable mapping, counter design etc. Each chapter includes several worked out examples to give studentsa thorough grouding in related design concepts

    This volume offers thorough, balanced, and practical coverage of both software and hardware topics. Develops basic concepts using the 8088 and 8086 microprocessors, but the 32-bit version of the 80x86 family is also discussed. Examines how to assemble, run, and debug programs, and how to build, test, and troubleshoot interface circuits. Provides detailed coverage of floating-point processing and the single instruction multiple data (DIMD) processing capability of the advanced Pentium processor. Includes added material on number systems, logic functions and operations, conversion between number systems, and addition/subtraction of binary numbers. Includes new advanced material such as floating Point Architecture and Instructions, Multimedia (MMX) Architecture and Instructions, and the hardware and hardware architecture of the Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 processors. Covers the Intel architecture microprocessor families: 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, and the latest Pentium(R) processors. Illustrates commands of the DEBUG program and how to assemble, disassemble, load, save, execute, and debug programs on the IBM PC. Introduces the contents of the 8088's instruction set. Explores practical implementation techniques, covering the use of latches, transceivers, buffers, and programmable logic devices in the memory and I/O interfaces of the microcomputer system. A valuable handbook for self-study in learning microprocessors, for electrical engineers, electronic technicians, and all computer programmers.

    Here are gathered the best of their chilling, thrilling, upsetting, and unsettling experiments with our sexual psyches. And rest assured, flesh will tingle--but whether from horror or pleasure or a bit of both, we'll leave you to judge.From its opening pages, with King's blackly humorous portrait of a very, very mad housewife to its conclusion, where we find Barker's wholly shocking tale of a deadly quest into the heart of passion, I Shudder at Your Touch brings you a host of kinky, perverse, bizarre and creepy figures. You'll find a cricket-playing vampire, a sleek sea creature likely to give mermaids a bad name, a strangely seductive handyman who's equally adept at knocking down apartment walls and female inhibitions, and a plastic religious statue offering X-rated enlightenment from its perch atop the family TV.I Shudder at Your Touch features 22 daring writers who prefer to go too far, writers whose every tale will have you fighting back a scream...and a cry of delight.Contents:The revelations of 'Becka Paulson / Stephen King --Sea lovers / Valerie Martin --Psychopomp / Haydn Middleton --A glowing future / Ruth Rendell --The tiger returns to the mountain / T.L.

    New features of the third edition include: * 100 new student exercises, worked examples and problem exercises * An expanded chapter on nuclear magnetic resonance * Details of the latest developments in Fourier transform instrumentation.

    When you use it in either your regular ESL class or a study skills class, you can be sure that your students will learn the practical skills they need to succeed in an English speaking, academic setting. Study Skills for Students of English includes sections on how to use a monolingual English dictionary, study for and take examinations, and read for comprehension. The text also covers the art of note-taking and development of writing skills.

    The goal of this book is to bring together quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics, and semiconductor device physics in a clear and understandable way.

    

    It provides the latest available information, while retaining its blend of theory and practice within a straightforward presentation.

    It includes the exercises covering the entire syllabus of Mathematics pertaining to IIT JEE, AIEEE and other state level engineering examination preparation. Although all the topics are covered very well but the topics of Algebra have an edge over others. Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Quadratic equations and Determinants are worth mentioning. It's a one stop book for beginners. It includes illustrative solved examples which help in explaining the concepts better.

    Digital Integrated Circuits maintains a consistent, logical flow of subject matter throughout. KEY TOPICS: Addresses today's most significant and compelling industry topics, including: the impact of interconnect, design for low power, issues in timing and clocking, design methodologies, and the tremendous effect of design automation on the digital design perspective. MARKET: For readers interested in digital circuit design.

    Problems are designed to progressively enhance MATLAB-use proficiency, so students need not be familiar with MATLAB at the start of your course. Program scripts that are answers to exercises in the text are available at no charge in electronic form (see Teaching Resources below). *Supplement and Review Mini-Chapters after each of the text's three parts contain an extensive review list of terms, test-like problem sets with answers, and detailed suggestions on supplemental reading to reinforce students' learning and help them prepare for exams. *Read-Only Chapters, strategically placed to provide a change of pace during the course, provide informative, yet enjoyable reading for students. *Measurement Details and Results samples offer students a realistic perspective on the seldom-perfect nature of device characteristics, contrary to the way they are often represented in introductory texts.

    Intro is based on the principle that low-level learning does not equal low-level thinking. Topics such as clothing and fashion, sports and hobbies, food and diet, and holidays and customs are presented in unique ways using interesting real-life information. Beautiful color photographs and illustrations facilitate the teaching of new vocabulary. As with the other levels of New Interchange, a complete set of ancillaries, including a video program, is available to make classes interesting and productive.

    Ramachandran won the Kerala State Sahitya Akademi (Kerala State Literature)award in 2005 for his first book `Uttarakhandiloode: Kailas-Mansasarassu Yatra',book on a trek to Mount Kailas through the tricky Uttarakhand rangesSri M K Ramachandran dedicatated his life completely to dangerous Himalayan travel, perhaps the only pilgrim who visited all five Kailash ,called "Panch Kailash" .These are Kailash Manasarovar, Adi Kailash, Kinnaur Kailash, Shrikant Mahadev Kailash and Manimahesh Kailash.
