11 Acknowledgments We are deeply indebted to the many people who have made the completion of this book possible. Dr. Nicholas DeClaris read an early version of the manuscript and motivated several improvements. Drs. Ben Jansen, Periklis Ktonas, Haluk Ogmen, and Erkki Oja carefully read portions of the manuscript and provided valuable suggestions. Particular thanks go to Buddy Marshall, who had the patience to read the entire manuscript. His interesting feed-back improved the manuscript in many ways. Demetri Androutsos, Gokalp Bayramoglu, Yezdi Kharas, Akbar H. Marand, Arun Padmanabhan, Pin-I Pai, Panagiotis Pandelis, and Costa S. Partsinevelos helped us by proofreading portions of the manuscript. Vivian Karayiannis, Arun Padmanabhan, Pin-I Pai, and Panagiotis Pandelis helped with the preparation of the final version of the manuscript. We would also like to thank Dr. Stuart Long, chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Houston, for providing the facilities used in the preparation of this book. Finally, special thanks go to Vivian Karayiannis for spending the summer and several weekends at home. Her love, patience and encouragement made this book possible. Nicolaos B. Karayiannis Houston, Texas Anastasios N. Venetsanopoulos Toronto, Canada
