THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES IN CANCER CARE
Essential Information for Patients, Survivors and Health Professionals
by Barrie R Cassileth (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center)
"Cassileth offers a balanced approach, providing information on certain treatments that appear to be safe and of possible benefit, as well as caveats against the indiscriminate use of others."
New England Journal of Medicine
"This authoritative guidebook will be worthwhile reading for anyone planning to venture outside mainstream medicine."

This book presents the art of advanced MOSFET modeling for integrated circuit simulation and design. It provides the essential mathematical and physical analyses of all the electrical, mechanical and thermal effects in MOS transistors relevant to the operation of integrated circuits. Particular emphasis is placed on how the BSIM model evolved into the first ever industry standard SPICE MOSFET model for circuit simulation and CMOS technology development. The discussion covers the theory and methodology of how a MOSFET model, or semiconductor device models in general, can be implemented to be robust and efficient, turning device physics theory into a production-worthy SPICE simulation model.

William F. Sharpe received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for his work on equilibrium pricing in capital markets. He was one of the originators of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, developed the Sharpe Ratio for investment performance analysis, the binomial method for the valuation of options, the gradient method for asset allocation optimization, and returns-based style analysis for evaluating the style and performance of investment funds. This book consists of a collection of Dr Sharpe’s work in these and other areas.
