Semiconductor Detector Systems (Semiconductor Science and Technology)
Semiconductor Detector Systems (Semiconductor Science and Technology)
Semiconductor sensors patterned at the micron scale combined with custom-designed integrated circuits have revolutionized semiconductor radiation detector systems. Designs covering many square meters with million of signal channels are now commonplace in high-energy physics and the technology is finding its way into many other fields, ranging from astrophysics to experiments at synchrotron light sources and medical imaging. This book is the first to present a comprehensive discussion of the many facets of highly integrated semiconductor detectors systems, covering sensors, signal processing, transistors, and circuits, low-noise electronics, and radiation effects. The diversity of design approaches is illustrated in a chapter describing systems in high-energy physics, astronomy, and astrophysics. Finally, a chapter “Why Things Don’t Work” discusses common pitfalls. Profusely illustrated, this book includes comprehensive discussions of sensors, signal processing, and electronics. Including fine tutorial material, it provides a unique reference in a key area of modern science.

New School Spotlights Green Building with Solar Design
New School Spotlights Green Building with Solar Design
Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) May 07, 2013
Spotlight Solar has announced the installation of its striking solar design structures at a new school pioneering the latest in green building techniques. The school will go beyond net-zero energy by making more energy than it uses. Sandy Grove Middle School will open this year as the nation’s first net-positive energy, LEED Platinum, leased public school. Four striking solar energy systems made by Spotlight Solar will highlight the environmental leadership of this school and inspire smart energy choices in the community.
Each of the bright blue Spotlight solar structures stands 20 feet tall, and incorporates 12 solar panels. They are the most visible part of the school’s 590 kilowatt photovoltaic solar system, contributing a meaningful 12kW, more than enough to power the three electric vehicle charging stations at the school. In combination with a geothermal system, advanced building techniques, and high-efficiency LED lighting, the school’s solar system will produce 20% more energy than the school requires. Surplus energy will be contributed to the Hoke County energy grid in partnership with Lumbee River EMC. The eye-catching Spotlight Solar structures complement this clean energy leadership and give it visible expression.
“We are thrilled to be part of such an impactful project,” said Craig Merrigan, co-founder of Spotlight Solar. “This school is a beacon of educational excellence and stewardship of resources. Spotlight Solar’s contribution is to make Hoke County’s leadership visible and inspiring. Our products apply ‘solar design’ – they are both clean energy machines and solar art. By making solar energy visible and attractive, we hope to increase its adoption.”
Sandy Grove Middle School is a result of a pioneering approach led by FirstFloor / SfL+a Architects, which created a complete package of design, development, renewable energy, and public-private financing. Metcon, a member of the US Green Building Council is the general contractor. Together, the partners in this project will provide the residents of Hoke County with a flagship school while saving $ 35 million over 40 years.
Robbie Ferris, CEO of SfL+a Architects and FirstFloor commented, “FirstFloor is a development company that provides creative project solutions for clients, from project concept to financing – to build net-positive energy schools that are both environmentally and financially sustainable. Sandy Grove is the first; and Spotlight Solar is helping us make a statement we hope will inspire many other communities.”
PowerSecure Solar provided installation and engineering services for the large rooftop solar system, a whole-building generator, and the Spotlight Solar design structures. Blair Kendall, Director of Business Development for PowerSecure said, “FirstFloor has led with a vision for the future of net-positive schools nationwide. We are privileged to collaborate with Metcon and other partners to provide renewable energy and peak-shaving capabilities to a complex and complete green building solution. The Spotlight Solar trees are an inspiring capstone on the tremendous achievement of this project – they place clean energy right among the students in a beautiful way.”
Sandy Grove Middle School is under construction now and scheduled for completion by July 30. The pioneering green building will be ready to receive new students for the start of the 2013-2014 school year.

Employer Hiring Trends Up on ConstructionCrossing.com
Employer Hiring Trends Up on ConstructionCrossing.com
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2013
The manufacturing sector grew in April for the fifth straight month, according to the ISM report released Wednesday. After a hiring lull, employers are showing renewed confidence in future demand, evidenced by the uptick in recruitment on ConstructionCrossing.com.
The Institute for Supply Management released its monthly numbers this week, reporting growth in the manufacturing sector for the fifth consecutive month. The manufacturing index was 50.7 percent in April, with any number above 50 indicating industry growth. At the same time, the reading marked a .6 percentage point drop from the previous month, suggesting that growth is slowing to a certain extent.
Of the 18 sectors surveyed last month, 14 groups reported growth, listed in the following order: Furniture, Printing; Electrical Equipment; Appliances; Apparel; Leather; Fabricated Metal Products; Paper Products; Machinery; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Primary Metals; Misc. Manufacturing; Petroleum & Coal Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Transportation Equipment; and Computer & Electronic Products. The three sectors reporting contraction included Chemical Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco; and Wood Products. The decline in the food & beverage sector came as a surprise after the food industry reported growth in previous months. The report noted that manufacturing employment continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace; the employment index dropped 4 points in April from the previous month.
The recovery of the manufacturing sector has been closely aligned with the housing recovery and subsequent boom in construction activity. Many of the sectors that reported growth in the previous month, such as Furniture, Electrical Equipment, and Machinery, have close ties with the fates of other sectors. As such, the ISM findings suggest a general uptick in the overall economy.
This can be seen most clearly on ConstructionCrossing.com, a leading job site for construction-related jobs. The recovery of the manufacturing and construction sectors have been closely intertwined, and the employment trends in one industry have been reflected in the other. As of the time that this release was written, ConstructionCrossing listed approximately 7,800 construction jobs on the site. The hiring has been concentrated, by and large, at the supervisorial level, with nearly half of the currently advertised jobs being for construction site managers and superintendents. There has also been demand for construction engineers and technicians, especially for those with strong technical backgrounds and degrees in the sciences.
Of note was the strong need for building estimators, with ConstructionCrossing listing nearly 1,000 openings for construction estimators. Requesting a building estimate is one of the first steps inbeginning any construction project, andpotential customers often use preliminary price quotes to weigh their optionsand compare prices between different companies.Requests for quotes are often used as a gauge of potential customer interest, and more importantly for building companies, as an indicator of future business. The fact that so many employers are now ramping up their hiring for construction estimators shows that the number of quote requests is coming in faster than current staffing levels can handle, and that building companies anticipate high levels of activity in the near future.
