"Constant Witness: Reframing Images of the Second World War" delves into the profound impact of visual representations on historical memory and cultural discourse surrounding WWII. This abstract scrutinizes the ways in which contemporary artists and historians meticulously engage with archival photographs and film footage from the war, employing diverse artistic and critical strategies to reinterpret, critique, and memorialize the past. The project explores the ethical complexities inherent in manipulating and restoring these images, raising questions about authenticity and the reliability of visual sources in shaping public perceptions of history. Furthermore, it investigates how marginalized voices and previously overlooked narratives are brought to the forefront through innovative artistic interventions, challenging dominant narratives of heroism and victimhood. Through detailed case studies of specific artworks and exhibitions, "Constant Witness" highlights the transformative potential of visual re-framing in fostering empathy, nuanced understanding, and critical engagement with the multifaceted experiences of wartime. By interrogating the intersection of memory, representation, and technology, this work contributes significantly to broader discussions about the evolving role of visual culture in shaping collective memory and historical consciousness in contemporary society.
Issues relating to the high-K gate dielectric are among the greatest challenges for the evolving International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). More than just an historical overview, this book will assess previous and present approaches related to scaling the gate dielectric and their impact, along with the creative directions and forthcoming challenges that will define the future of gate dielectric scaling technology. Topics include: an extensive review of Moore's Law, the classical regime for SiO2 gate dielectrics; the transition to silicon oxynitride gate dielectrics; the transition to high-K gate dielectrics (including the drive towards equivalent oxide thickness in the single-digit nanometer regime); and future directions and issues for ultimate technology generation scaling. The vision, wisdom, and experience of the team of authors will make this book a timely, relevant, and interesting, resource focusing on fundamentals of the 45 nm Technology Generation and beyond.
Low dielectric constant materials are an important component of microelectronic devices. This comprehensive book covers the latest low-dielectric-constant (low-k) materials technology, thin film materials characterization, integration and reliability for back-end interconnects and packaging applications in microelectronics. Highly informative contributions from leading academic and industrial laboratories provide comprehensive information about materials technologies for
This monograph deals with recent questions of conformal geometry. It provides in detail an approach to studying moduli spaces of conformal structures, using a new canonical metric for conformal structures. This book is accessible to readers with basic knowledge in differential geometry and global analysis. It addresses graduates and researchers.

Locally computable (NC0) functions are "simple" functions for which every bit of the output can be computed by reading a small number of bits of their input. The study of locally computable cryptography attempts to construct cryptographic functions that achieve this strong notion of simplicity and simultaneously provide a high level of security. Such constructions are highly parallelizable and they can be realized by Boolean circuits of constant depth.This book establishes, for the first time, the possibility of local implementations for many basic cryptographic primitives such as one-way functions, pseudorandom generators, encryption schemes and digital signatures. It also extends these results to other stronger notions of locality, and addresses a wide variety of fundamental questions about local cryptography. The author's related thesis was honorably mentioned (runner-up) for the ACM Dissertation Award in 2007, and this book includes some expanded sections and proofs, and notes on recent developments.The book assumes only a minimal background in computational complexity and cryptography and is therefore suitable for graduate students or researchers in related areas who are interested in parallel cryptography. It also introduces general techniques and tools which are likely to interest experts in the area.
This book contains a systematic exposition of the facts relating to partial differential equations with constant coefficients. The study of systems of equations in general form occupies a central place. Together with the classical problems of the existence, the uniqueness, and the regularity of the solutions, we also consider the specific problems that arise in connection with overdetermined and underdetermined systems of equations: the extendabiIity of the solutions into a wider region, the extendability of regularity, M-cohomology and so on. Great attention is paid to the connections and the parallels with the theory of functions of several complex variables. The choice of material was dictated by a number of considerations. Among all the facts relating to general systems of equations, the book contains none that relate to the behavior of differential operators in spaces of slowly growing functions. Missing also are results relating to a single equation in one unknown function: the correctness of the Cauchy problem, certain theorems on p-convexity, and the theory of boundary values, are all set forth in other monographs (Gel'fand and Silov [3], Hormander [10] and Treves [4]). The book consists of two parts. In the first, we set forth the analytic method which forms the basis for the contents of the second part, which itself is dedicated to differential equations. The first part is pre ceded by an introduction in which the content and methods of Part I are described. All the notes and bibliographical references are collected together in a special section.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,0, FOM Hochschule f r Oekonomie & Management gemeinn tzige GmbH, Frankfurt fr her Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Eine Wertsicherungsstrategie soll den Investor vor Wertverlusten seines Portfolios unter einen vorher definierten Mindestportfoliowert ("Floor") bei fallenden M rkten sch tzen (downside protection) und gleichzeitig eine Beteiligung an steigenden M rkten erm glichen (upside participation). Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Vorstellung der Wertsicherungsstrategie "Constant-Proportion-Portfolio-Insurance" (CPPI). Beginnend in Kapitel 2 werden zwei Kategorien von existierenden Wertsicherungsstrategien vorgestellt, gefolgt von Kapitel 3 mit der Erl uterung der CPPI Strategie sowie der praktischen Anwendung an einem Beispiel.
