1. Warum müssen wir für die drahtloseTelegraphie elektromagnetische Wellen verwenden? Für die drahtlose Telegraphie müssen wir uns elektrischer und magnetischer Felder bedienen, die von Ladungen oder Strömen ausgehen, die wir...

Nicht die eigentlichen Rahmen und Rahmengebilde sind Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchungen, sondern die "rahmenartigen Trag. werke". Im Grunde genommen handelt es sich lediglich um den elastisch eingespannten Balken bzw...

All too frequently, the largest effective barrier to interdisciplinary communication is jargon. The symposium whose proceedings appear in the following pages sought, of course, to eliminate unnecessary and obscurantist jargon;...

In recent years, ion implantation has developed into the major doping technique for integrated circuits. Several series of conferences have dealt with the application of ion implantation to semiconductors and other materials...

Implantable jOint prostheses which have been under development for more than 25 years, are today being used with success in the rehabilitation of many cases, including patients with extremely severe joint pathology. However,...

After more than a decade of successful application of cardiac pace­ makers in the therapy of cardiac rhythm disorders, technological and clinical experience has reached a level, at which a technical survey of this field should...

If the early stages of a disease begin with the involvement of a small area of cells or tissue, the early diagnosis of pathologic changes by means of radio­ graphy should concentrate first on the detection of such minute...

The direct current transmission scheme linking the island of Gotland to the main­ land of Sweden by means of a submarine cable under the Baltic Sea is the first commercial realisation of a modern technique for the transmission...

The electric probe has long been used as a fundamental diagnostic tool for measuring the local properties of a plasma. Since Langmuir first developed the electric-probe technique in 1924, probes have been used to measure...

The first IUTAM Symposium on Creep in Structures was held in Stanford, Cal. 1960 (Proceedings, ed. N. J. HOFF, Springer-Verlag 1962). That meeting reflected an intense research activity in the field of structural creep, and...

Until recently there was no uniform stability theory. Different approaches to stability problems had been developed in the different branches of mechanics. In the field of elasticity, it was mainly the so­ called static method...

The utilization of nuclear energy makes great demands on the knowledge of the engineers engaged in design work and calculations relating to construction in nuclear industry. Apart, of course, from nuclear reactors themselves, a...
