 Home Area Networks and IPTV By Jean?Gabriel Remy, Charlotte Letamendia(auth.) 2011 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 184821295X | PDF | 7 MB The field of Home Area Networks (HAN), a dedicated residential subset of LAN technologies for home-based use, is fast becoming the next frontier for the communications industry. This book describes the various technologies involved in the implementation of a HAN: high-speed Internet connections, indoor implementations, services, software, and management packages. It also reviews multimedia applications (which are increasingly the most important and complex aspects of most HANs) with a detailed description of IPTV technology. It highlights the main technologies used for HANs: information transmission by means of copper pairs, coaxial cables, fiber optics, and Wi-Fi radio systems, as well as the software systems necessary for the processing and management of these data communications. These technologies - examples of which include the well-known 802.11 family of standards, and less widespread applications such as the HomePlug powerline standard - are highly relevant to multimedia, remote healthcare, remote working, energy, and device management in the home. The book is written for engineers working in the field, or who are interested in high-speed communication technologies and their actual or potential use in the home or in the small - medium size enterprise (SME) commercial environment.Content: Chapter 1 Services Offered by Home Area Networks (pages 1-18): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 2 Receiving Television via Internet (pages 19-60): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 3 Household Internet Connections (pages 61-154): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 4 Home Area Network Technologies (pages 155-206): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 5 Software Structure used in Home Area Networks (pages 207-236): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 6 Software Structures in Use for Home Area Networks (pages 237-246): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte LetamendiaChapter 7 Service Platforms (pages 247-258): Jean?Gabriel Remy and Charlotte Letamendia  Jane Block, Claude Sorgeloos, "Homage to Adrienne Fontainas: Passionate Pilgrim for the Arts" English | 2013 | pages: 377 | ISBN: 1433120054 | PDF | 156,8 mb The twenty-two essays in this volume are contributed by Belgian, French, and American scholars to honor the memory and work of Adrienne Fontainas (1929-2010). The interdisciplinary scholarship this community of international scholars has produced is of lasting importance in underlining the significant role of Brussels from 1870 to 1914. A leading European scholar and bibliophile, Adrienne Fontainas served as Vice President of the International Association of Bibliophiles and membre d'honneur of the Royal Society of Bibliophiles and Iconophiles of Belgium. Her groundbreaking books on the Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé and his Brussels' editor Edmond Deman (Edmond Deman éditeur : Art et édition au tournant du siècle and Edmond Deman : Publications de la librairie) are model studies of the book publishing trade in France and Belgium.

History of Construction Cultures Volume 1 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1032002026 | 827 Pages | PDF (True) | 52 MB History of Construction Cultures Volume 1 contains papers presented at the 7ICCH - Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines, tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political, social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.

Ian Baxter, "Himmler's Nazi Concentration Camp Guards" English | 2013 | pages: 128 | ISBN: 1848847998 | EPUB | 5,2 mb This book is the most thorough study yet of the whole process of recruitment, indoctrination and performance of those responsible for the guarding of concentration camp inmates. It is not an attractive subject - the conversion of human beings into murderers and individuals routinely carrying out appalling acts of cruelty are bound to be shocking. But it happened under the Third Reich on a massive scale. |
