This is the first of a two-volume work covering the electrical principles syllabuses of all of the major examining bodies including the City & Guilds of London Institute's electrical craft courses. It is also suitable for a wide range of other courses, including the first three years of the BTEC electrical series.

This book serves to up-date an earlier publication by one of the authors, and offers guidance and best practice in electrical measurements applicable to any required accuracy level.

Concentrating on presenting a thorough analysis of DFB lasers from a level suitable for research students, Distributed Feedback Semiconductor Lasers emphasises and gives extensive coverage of computer aided modelling techniques.

The book is in five parts: Part 1: Introduction to polymers and electrical breakdown. Part 2: Treeing degradation in polymers. Part 3: Deterministic mechanisms of breakdowns. Part 4: The stochastic nature of breakdown. Part 5: Engineering considerations for breakdown testing and degradation assessment.

For the first time, this book presents a comprehensive analysis, based on electrons controlling the ion channel gates. The theory and gating model are extensively linked to published experimental observations. The intrinsic simplicity of electron gating elucidates mechanisms important to the functions of nerve cells.

This book presents the basic theory of the current comparator, methods of construction leading to high ratio accuracies and the operating principles of the various applications.

This book brings together the leading researchers, in high frequency analogue filters to highlight recent advances and identify promising directions for future development.
