Chemical Processing of Ceramics

Chemical Processing of Ceramics

Many believe that the silicon/information age is heading to the Age of Biology and that the next frontier in ceramics will most likely require molecular level or nanoscale control. What then is the role of ceramics in the age of biology? As we change from an energy-rich society to an energy-declining society how can ceramic materials appease the problem? This new edition of Chemical Processing of Ceramics offers a scientific and technological framework for achieving creative solutions to these questions. Edited by experts and containing chapters by leading researchers in the field the book uses an interdisciplinary approach to cover topics ranging from starting materials to device applications. The book begins with a discussion of starting material highlighting how to prepare and modify them in the nanoscale range. The chapter authors discuss the synthesis characterization and behavior of ceramic powders the processing of ceramic films via sol-gel technique and the fabrication of nonoxide ceramics. They also present coverage of several specific thin films membranes ferroelectrics bioceramics dieletrics batteries and superconductors. Although the book is edited it is organized to reflect the chemical sequence of ceramic processing and the coherent theme of chemical processing for advanced ceramic materials. The coverage of molecular/nanoprocessing techniques that result in new materials will enable researchers and engineers to meet the challenge of producing inorganic materials for use in the applications of the future.

High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms

High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms

As one of the pioneers of Piezoelectric Actuators I have contributed to the commercialization of various products for over 45 years including million-selling devices micro-ultrasonic motors for smart-phone camera modules by Samsung Electromechanics piezoelectric transformers for backlight inverters by Apple laptops multilayer PZT actuators for diesel injection valves by Denso Corporation and piezoelectric energy harvesting modules for Programable Air-Burst Munition by the US Army. During the development period for piezoelectric actuators and transformers I found that the bottleneck for device miniaturization was heat generation under a high-power drive condition. Thus in parallel to the piezo-actuator developments I have been developing various high-power density piezo-ceramic materials with the loss mechanism clarification. Hence I considered that it was time to organize a textbook based on the previous studies including my materials development philosophy to stimulate younger generations to reach to the energy density of up to 100 W/cm3 in the future. Increasing efficiency and saving energy and space (compactness) are one of the important approaches in this 21st-century sustainable society. High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisims introduces the theoretical background of piezoelectrics electromechanical phenomenology loss mechanisms practical materials device designs drive and characterization techniques and typical applications and looks forward to the future perspectives in this field. This book is NOT an overall review of this area but it focuses on important and basic ideas under my development philosophy to understand how to design and develop high-power piezoelectric materials and devices. This textbook is designed for self-learning by the reader aided by the availability of: • Chapter Essentials – Summary for quick memory recovery • Check Points – Answers are provided in the Appendix • Example Problems – To enhance the reader’s understanding with full detailed solutions • Chapter Problems – For the final exam or further consideration | High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms

The Sharpe Ratio Statistics and Applications

The Sharpe Ratio Statistics and Applications

The Sharpe ratio is the most widely used metric for comparing theperformance of financial assets. The Markowitz portfolio is the portfolio withthe highest Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe Ratio: Statistics and Applications examines the statistical propertiesof the Sharpe ratio and Markowitz portfolio both under the simplifying assumption of Gaussian returns and asymptotically. Connections are drawn between the financial measures and classical statistics includingStudent's t Hotelling's T^2 and the Hotelling-Lawley trace. The robustness of these statistics to heteroskedasticity autocorrelation fat tails and skew of returns are considered. The construction of portfolios to maximizethe Sharpe is expanded from the usual static unconditional model to include subspace constraints heding out assets and the use of conditioning information on both expected returns and risk. {book title} is the most comprehensivetreatment of the statistical properties of the Sharpe ratio and Markowitzportfolio ever published. Features: * Material on single asset problems market timing unconditional and conditional portfolio problems hedged portfolios. * Inference via both Frequentist and Bayesian paradigms. *A comprehensive treatment of overoptimism and overfitting of trading strategies. *Advice on backtesting strategies. *Dozens of examples and hundreds of exercises for self study. This book is an essential reference for the practicing quant strategist and the researcher alike and an invaluable textbook for the student. Steven E. Pav holds a PhD in mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University and degrees in mathematics and ceramic engineering sciencefrom Indiana University Bloomington and Alfred University. He was formerly a quantitative strategist at Convexus Advisors and CerebellumCapital and a quantitative analyst at Bank of America. He is the author of a dozen R packages including those for analyzing the significance of the Sharpe ratio and Markowitz portfolio.
