Sensors in Science and Technology: Functionality and Application Areas by Ekbert Hering English | EPUB | 2022 | 835 Pages | ISBN : 3658349190 | 96.4 MB Sensors are used to measure physical, chemical and biological quantities. The book offers a comprehensive overview of physical principles, functions and applications of sensors. It is structured according to the fields of activity of sensors and shows their application by means of typical examples. Self-Adaptive Heuristics for Evolutionary Computation by Oliver Kramer English | PDF | 2008 | 181 Pages | ISBN : 3540692800 | 3.7 MB Evolutionary algorithms are successful biologically inspired meta-heuristics. Their success depends on adequate parameter settings. The question arises: how can evolutionary algorithms learn parameters automatically during the optimization? Evolution strategies gave an answer decades ago: self-adaptation. Their self-adaptive mutation control turned out to be exceptionally successful. But nevertheless self-adaptation has not achieved the attention it deserves. Security for Telecommunications Networks by Patrick Traynor English | PDF | 2008 | 185 Pages | ISBN : 0387724419 | 4.3 MB Telecommunications networks are a critical component of the economic and social infrastructures in which we live. Each day, well over three billion people across the globe rely upon these systems, as their primary means of connecting to the world around them. Security and Resilience of Control Systems: Theory and Applications by Hideaki Ishii English | EPUB | 2022 | 229 Pages | ISBN : 303083235X | 31 MB This book comprises a set of chapters that introduce various topics pertinent to novel approaches towards enhancing cyber-physical measures for increased security and resilience levels in control systems. The unifying theme of these approaches lies in the utilization of knowledge and models of the physical systems, rather than an attempt to reinvigorate conventional IT-based security measures.
Science, Technology, and Higher Education: Governance Approaches on Social Inclusion and Sustainability in Latin America by Luis Antonio Orozco English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 366 Pages | ISBN : 3030807193 | 26.9 MB This volume explores the governance and management of science, technology, and innovation (STI) in relation to social inclusion and sustainability, highlighting its goal, challenges, and opportunities. Divided into two sections, it addresses the goals and institutional arrangements around sustainable development in the context of Latin American countries as well as the challenges of developing absorptive STI capacities for inclusion in the higher education institutions and systems. Science with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array: A New Era for Astrophysics by Rafael Bachiller English | PDF | 2008 | 338 Pages | ISBN : 1402069340 | 15 MB Currently under construction in the Andean Altiplano, Northern Chile, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is the most ambitious astronomy facility under construction. ALMA is a radio interferometer composed of 54 antennas of 12 m diameter, and twelve 7 m antennas with about 6600 square meters of total collecting area. Initially covering the most interesting spectral wavelength ranges from 3 to 0.3 mm, ALMA will be a revolutionary telescope aimed to unveil the details of star and planet formation and to provide astronomy with the first exhaustive view of the dark and youngest objects of the Universe.
Schmerztherapie ohne Medikamente: Leitfaden zur endogenen Schmerzhemmung für Ärzte und Therapeuten by Wolfgang Laube Deutsch | EPUB | 2022 | 439 Pages | ISBN : 3662638452 | 17.4 MB Die regulative Schmerztherapie ist mit ihren physiologisch begründeten aufeinanderfolgenden Interventionen spezifisch auf die Verhinderung der Entwicklung bzw. die Behandlung von chronischen Schmerzen ausgerichtet. In diesem Buch wird je nach notwendiger Indikation die gesamte nicht pharmakologische Therapiekette der möglichen Interventionen vorgestellt. Es werden dabei sowohl passiv provozierte funktionell begründete Maßnahmen zur Aktivierung der Schmerzhemmmechanismen und der Durchblutungsförderung zur Verbesserung der Gewebeverhältnisse als Grundlage nozizeptiver Informationen beschrieben, als auch aktive Methoden, z.B. Scheduling: Control-Based Theory and Polynomial-Time Algorithms by Konstantin Kogan English | PDF | 2000 | 399 Pages | ISBN : 0792364864 | 23.6 MB This book presents a first attempt to systematically collect, classify and solve various continuous-time scheduling problems. The classes of problems distinguish scheduling by the number of machines and products, production constraints and performance measures. Although such classes are usually considered to be a prerogative of only combinatorial scheduling literature, the scheduling methodology suggested in this book is based on two mathematical tools - optimal control and combinatorics.
Scenes, Semiotics and The New Real: Exploring the Value of Originality and Difference by Chris Brown English | PDF | 2016 | 118 Pages | ISBN : 1137591110 | 1 MB This book provides a semiotic analysis of 'scenes', powerful vehicles for introducing new ideas, perspectives and behaviours, as a concept. In particular, it examines the types of scene that exist; explores their effectiveness in spreading new ideas; and considers their vital role in introducing originality and difference in modern society. Scalable Infrastructure for Distributed Sensor Networks by Krishnendu Chakrabarty English | PDF | 2005 | 204 Pages | ISBN : 1852339519 | 2.4 MB Wireless sensor networks is a rapidly developing area. New applications are emerging and breakthroughs are being made in solving the underlying scientific problems. |
