Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

As in previous volumes, thesis titles are arranged by discipline and by university within each discipline. Any accredited university or college with a grad

This software package seeks to improve waveguide filter and diplexer design and decrease performance variations without creating overly stringent manufacturing tolerances. The accompanying manual helps the reader to cut design time and improve accuracy by quickly and easily predicting performance parameters before building costly prototypes. Using the mode-matching method as a foundation, the software supplies a full-wave solution for filter discontinuities, aiding you in the design of E-plane waveguide filters specifically intended for microwave and millimeter-wave applications. This means you can substantially reduce development and production costs, reduce time-to-market, and effectively increase circuit performance.
