Richard Stern (1928-2013) wasa novelist, short-story writer, and, at the time of his death, the Helen Regenstein Emeritus Professor of English and of the Humanities at the University of Chicago. He wasthe author oftwenty-one works of fiction and nonfiction. In 1985, he received the Medal of Merit for the Novel
Sambarta Rakshit said Very Comprehensive. Covers a wide variety of sensors with focus on analyte-film interactions for various physical/chemical absorption processes. Particularly interesting is the comparison of transients for reversible and irreversible interactions.. "About the best acoustic wave sensors book available" according to Robert W. Brocato. This work does a pretty good job of spanning both theory and practical concepts. After an introduction it gives an overview of piezoelectric theory that is covered in more (but still insufficient) detail in Colin Campbell's book, "Surface Acoustic Wave Devices". The central part of the book discusses thickness shear mode, SAW, acoustic plate mode, and flexural plate mode sensors. The remainder of the book discusses coatings and other practical issues involving actual fabrication and use of acoustic wave sensors. The book gives lots of references from appropriate literature. It d
Because of the inherent interdisciplinary applications of these devices, this book will be useful for the chemist and biochemist interested in the use and development of these sensors; the electrical engineer involved in their design and improvement; the chemical engineer and the biotechnologist interested in using them for process monitoring and control; and the sensor community at large. . From the Back Cover Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts from both industry and academia, Acoustic Wave Sensors provides an in-depth look at the current state of acoustic wave devices and the scape of their use in chemical, biochemical, and physical measurements, as well as in engineering applications
Because of the inherent interdisciplinary applications of these devices, this book will be useful for the chemist and biochemist interested in the use and development ofthese sensors for specific applications; the electrical engineer involved in the design and improvement of these devices; the chemical engineer and the biotechnologist interested in using these devices for process monitoring and control; and the sensor community at large.Provides in-depth comparison and analyses of different types of acoust
