Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking: History and Contemporary Policy
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1108830625 | 284 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
Over the last two decades, fighting modern slavery and human trafficking has become a cause célèbre. Yet large numbers of researchers, non-governmental organizations, trade unions, workers, and others who would seem like natural allies in the fight against modern slavery and trafficking are hugely skeptical of these movements. They object to how the problems are framed, and are skeptical of the "new abolitionist" movement. Why? This book tackles key controversies surrounding the anti-slavery and anti-trafficking movements head on. Champions and skeptics explore the fissures and fault lines that surround efforts to fight modern slavery and human trafficking today. These include: whether efforts to fight modern slavery displace or crowd out support for labor and migrant rights; whether and to what extent efforts to fight modern slavery mask, naturalize, and distract from racial, gendered, and economic inequality; and whether contemporary anti-slavery and anti-trafficking crusaders' use of history are accurate and appropriate.

Wardlow, "Fencing AIDS"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 0520355512 | PDF | pages: 216 | 11.8 mb
In this vitally important book, medical anthropologist Holly Wardlow takes readers through a ten-year history of the AIDS epidemic in Tari, Papua New Guinea, focusing on the political and economic factors that make women vulnerable to HIV and on their experiences with antiretroviral therapy. Alive with the women's stories about being trafficked to gold mines, resisting polygynous marriages, and struggling to be perceived as morally upright, Fencing in AIDS demonstrates that being female shapes every aspect of the AIDS epidemic. Offering crucial insights into the anthropologies of mining, ethics, and gender, this is essential reading for scholars and professionals addressing the global AIDS crisis today.

FUNDAMENTALS OF VLSI DESIGN by S XAVIER STALIN
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09VNK8Z1S | 267 pages | EPUB | 4.49 Mb
Silicon (Si), a semiconductor, forms the basic starting material for most integrated circuits. A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) structure is created by superimposing several layers of conducting and insulating materials to form a sandwich-like structure. These structures are manufactured using a series of chemical processing steps involving oxidation of the silicon, selective introduction of dopants, deposition and etching of metal wires and contacts. Transistors are built on nearly flawless single crystals of silicon, which are available as thin flat circular wafers of 15-30 cm in diameter. CMOS technology provides two types of transistors (also called devices): an n-type transistor (nMOS) and a p-type transistor (pMOS). Transistor operation is controlled by electric fields so the devices are also called Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) or simply FETs. Cross-sections and symbols of these transistors are shown in Figure below. The n+ and p+ regions indicate heavily doped n-type or p-type silicon.
