Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter OMA Architecture Script for West Berlin

This book is the first survey of a new field in architecture theory: script writing. Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter explores the intersection of architecture film and text using the example of the working method of scriptwriter Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). This book argues that Koolhaas formulates his approach to architecture on the basis of the “written sketch” or script and questions its transformations into built environment in the oeuvre of OMA. Divided into two parts the first part is a theoretical outline that explores the notion of scriptwriting in film. It provides in-depth insights into the definition and historical evolution of the script - as a blueprint Hollywood script avant-garde script storyboard the relation to auteur theory and the difference between the script and scenario. It surveys the first original script for the Exodus of the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. The second part offers a unique perspective on the urban development of West Berlin in which Koolhaas created a metropolitan script or blueprint that spans the period 1971–1989 from his first visit to Berlin to the fall of the Berlin Wall. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural theory urban history and film studies. | Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter OMA Architecture Script for West Berlin

Molecular Regulation of Arousal States

Arousal states are processes that include waking deep sleep and the dreaming phase of sleep (REM). Molecular Regulation of Arousal States explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which sleep and wakefulness are regulated and seeks explanations for the generation of arousal states. It presents step-by-step research protocols that allow investigators to apply the techniques described to a wide range of physiological and behavioral research problems such as sleep neurobiology and state-dependent disruption of cardiopulmonary control. For the first time a single source integrates cellular and molecular research techniques with studies of arousal opening the door to exciting new research methodologies.

Dynamic RAM Technology Advancements

Because of their widespread use in mainframes PCs and mobile audio and video devices DRAMs are being manufactured in ever increasing volume both in stand-alone and in embedded form as part of a system on chip. Due to the optimum design of their components—access transistor storage capacitor and peripherals—DRAMs are the cheapest and densest semiconductor memory currently available. As a result most of DRAM structure research and development focuses on the technology used for its constituent components and their interconnections. However only a few books are available on semiconductor memories in general and fewer on DRAMs. Dynamic RAM: Technology Advancements provides a holistic view of the DRAM technology with a systematic description of the advancements in the field since the 1970s and an analysis of future challenges. Topics Include: DRAM cells of all types including planar three-dimensional (3-D) trench or stacked COB or CUB vertical and mechanically robust cells using advanced transistors and storage capacitors Advancements in transistor technology for the RCAT SCAT FinFET BT FinFET Saddle and advanced recess type and storage capacitor realizations How sub 100 nm trench DRAM technologies and sub 50 nm stacked DRAM technologies and related topics may lead to new research Various types of leakages and power consumption reduction methods in active and sleep mode Various types of SAs and yield enhancement techniques employing ECC and redundancy A worthwhile addition to semiconductor memory research academicians and researchers interested in the design and optimization of high-density and cost-efficient DRAMs may also find it useful as part of a graduate-level course. | Dynamic RAM Technology Advancements
