Dedications

Benoit:

First, and most important, I would like to thank my family for their ongoing support during the very long journey of writing this book. Expressed differently: "Lore, Julien, and Jocelyne, please accept my apologies for the multiple evenings and weekends I should have spent with you."

I also would like to thank Luc David and Frank Van Steenwinkel—respectively, my manager and director when I was at the Technical Assistance Center—for giving me the freedom to do what is important.

Finally, I express my gratitude to the numerous people who encouraged me during the first stage of the project and throughout the completion of the book: some by reviewing the text, some by testing in the lab, and some simply for offering kind words. Special thanks for the always-positive attitude of Ralf, my coauthor.

Ralf:

First, I thank my wife Miriam for her love and patience during the course of this book. Without her commitment to me and the kids, I would not have been able to succeed in my professional life, and this book would have remained a nice dream. Instead, it became real! I also want to thank my children, Lydia and Henry, for releasing me during uncountable weekend hours. I'm looking forward to the day when they can read and understand this book.

Next, I want to thank my coauthor, Benoit, for his commitment and for constantly reminding me that quality and consistency cannot be neglected, even for the price of missing a deadline. Taking this journey together is an experience I will never forget.

Finally, and certainly most important of all, I give all thanks to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for all that I am.
