Challenging religious dogma and common precepts of science, Salvatore Scordato exchanges the mysteries of God for the road of logical conclusions. He imparts that our most wished for dreams and fantasies are nothing more than memories recalled and history repeated. This engaging interpretation of the first five books of the Bible asserts that by coupling modern knowledge to the events of the Old Testament (as seen through the eyes of ancient man), we begin to comprehend the parallels of past occurrences with today's scientific and technological advancements. This brave study dares to pull back the curtain to reveal the man who created the wizard. Inspired by the eternal questions, who is God and what is the meaning of life, The Exegesis establishes an exciting new theory of our creation.

This accessible volume delivers a complete design methodology for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Focusing on the scaling of an autonomous micro-system, it explains the real-world problems and theoretical concepts of several different aspects inherent to the miniaturization of sensors and actuators. It reports on the analysis of dimensional scaling, the modelling, design and experimental characterization of a wide range of specific devices and applications, including: temperature microsensors based on an integrated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) thermocouple; mechanical sensors; inductive microsensors for the detection of magnetic particles; electrostatic, thermal and magnetic actuators. With an original approach, this informative text encompasses the entire range of themes currently at the forefront of MEMS, including an analysis of the importantissue of energy sources in MEMS. In addition, the book explores contemporary research into the design of complete MEMS with a case study on colonies of microbots. Scaling Issues and Design of MEMS aims to improve the reader’s basic knowledge on modelling issues of complex micro devices, and to encourage new thinking about scaling effects. It will provide support for practising engineers working within the defence industry and will also be of welcome interest to graduate students and researchers with a background in electronic engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and materials science.
Twenty-one years have passed since the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor and the deaths of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. But now the New Republic faces new threats to its peace and prosperity: a charismatic firebrand is inciting war between two planets...reports of rogue Jedi Knights practising vigilante law are sowing seeds of mistrust and fear...and beyond the Outer Rim, a mysterious alien race is mounting an invasion. Against chaos from within and an enemy unlike any other without, can the heroes who overthrew the Empire triumph again?
