A Perfectly Imperfect Match by Marie Ferrarella Jared Winterset was not in the market for a wife and Elizabeth Stephens, a self–sufficient violinist, preffered playing her music than playing the field. Then a certain someone calls in the Mamas, and Jared and Elizabeth are thrown together, planning a 35th wedding anniversary party. Soon, the sparks are flying! They're about to learn that in a real love match, both players can win... Still The One by Michelle Major Only a distress call could summon Lainey Morgan back to the small hometown she had run from, leaving her family and the man she adored standing at the altar. Yet even fame as a globe–trotting photojournalist couldn't erase the pain of losing the baby Ethan Daniels had been marrying her for.

As for Ethan, Lainey was driving him crazy all over again, and ten years away had only made him want her more. Maybe a second chance at forever could be theirs after all...

In one corner we have Jared Winterset, who's not in the market for a wife. He knows too well how few marriages succeed—and Jared hates failure. So he'll keep it light. In the other corner there's Elizabeth Stephens, a self-sufficient violinist. She's lonely sometimes, but playing her music is more rewarding—and safer—than playing the field. Then a certain someone calls in the Mamas, and—ding!— Jared and Elizabeth are thrown together, planning a thirty-fifth wedding anniversary party. Soon the two are enjoying themselves way too much. It won't last, thinks Elizabeth. It's fun, that's all, thinks Jared. But they're about to learn that in a real love match, both players can win…

Pitcher Dylan Dennings has his future all mapped out: make the minors straight out of high school, work his way up the farm system, and get called up to the majors by the time he’s twenty-three. The Plan has been his sole focus for years, and if making his dreams come true means instituting a strict “ no girls” policy, so be it. Lucy Foster, needlepoint ninja, big sister to an aspiring pitcher, and chicken advocate, likes a little mayhem. So what if she gets lost taking her brother to baseball camp...at her own high school? The pitching coach, some hotshot high school player, obviously thinks she’s a hot mess. Too bad he’s cute, because he’s so not her type. Problem is, they keep running into each other, and every interaction sparks hotter than the last. But with Dylan’s future on the line, he has to decide whether some rules are made to be broken...

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don't fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He's gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match-and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own. What's the harm if we give in for just one night? I should have known that would never be enough. Now I'm on the verge of losing my job and my heart. We were an imperfect match from the start, but I don't know how to let him go.

This is a special issue of ECS Transactions published by ECS in memory of Volker Lehmann and Vitali Parkhutik, two key scientists in the field of porous semiconductors who recently passed away. Topics in this issue aim at a more detailed understanding of growth mechanisms and the physical and chemical properties of all types of porous semiconductors. The papers address research in the various sub-fields of porous semiconductors such as semiconductor electrochemistry, deposition into pores, matrix materials, optical spectroscopy and transdisciplinary approaches to the topic as well as work relevant to the formation of advanced materials such as, for example, porous silicon, matrix composites and nanoclusters and their applications such as chemical and biological sensors.
