The most widely used discretization and solution methods, which are also found in most commercial CFD-programs, are described in detail. Some advanced topics, like moving grids, simulation of turbulence, computation of free-surface flows, multigrid methods and parallel computing, are also covered. Since CFD is a very broad field, we provide fundamental methods and ideas, with some illustrative examples, upon which more advanced techniques are built. Numerical accuracy and estimation of errors are important aspects and are discussed in many examples. Computer codes that include many of the methods described in the book can be obtained online. </div><div>This 4th edition includes major revision of all chapters; some new methods are described and references to more recent publications with new approaches are included. Former Chapter 7 on solution of the Navier-Stokes equations has been split into two Chapters to allow for a more detailed description of several variants of the Fractional Step Method and a comparison with SIMPLE-like approaches. In Chapters 7 to 13, most examples have been replaced or recomputed, and hints regarding practical applications are made. Several new sections have been added, to cover, e.g., immersed-boundary methods, overset grids methods, fluid-structure interaction and conjugate heat transfer.</div><div>

Essentials of Aeronautical Disciplines and Technology, with Historical Notes

History of Aviation.- to Atmospheric Flight.- Low-Speed Aerodynamics.- Lift and Drag at Low Speeds.- Aircraft Engines and Propulsion.- Aeroplane Performance.- Stability and Control.- Helicopter Flight Mechanics.- High-Speed Flight.

This book contains a synthesis of the fundamental disciplines and applications involved in the description and analysis of aircraft flight. It covers introductions into the fields of atmospheric properties, applied aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, flight performance, and stability and control. Since it emphasizes the practical side of flight physics, attention is duly paid to the historical development of aviation and specific aeronautical technologies. The present text emphasizes the connection of all relevant aeronautical disciplines by presenting a carefully selected set of interrelated subjects. Most of these are treated by definitions of elementary concepts, descriptions of the various physical phenomena and mathematical derivations. Wherever possible and useful, explanations have been further clarified by including graphical illustrations, numerical examples and photographs. The main body of the text applies to aircraft operating at fairly low speeds, where the compressibility of the atmospheric air is of secondary importance. A separate chapter is devoted to flight speeds approaching and exceeding the speed of sound. The large variety of existing aircraft categories has been narrowed down to (fixed-wing) aeroplanes with conventional take-off and landing performances. Elements of helicopter flight are reviewed in a separate chapter. To encourage further reading, all nine chapters include a comprehensive list of related publications.

Knowledge is not merely everything we have come to know, but also ideas we have pondered long enough to know in which way they are related, and 1 how these ideas can be put to practical use. Modern aviation has been made possible as a result of much scienti c - search. However, the very rst useful results of this research became ava- able a considerable length of time after the aviation pioneers had made their rst ights. Apparently, researchers were not able to nd an adequate exp- nation for the occurrence of lift until the beginning of the 21st century. Also, for the fundamentals of stability and control, there was no theory available that the pioneers could rely on. Only after the rst motorized ights had been successfully made did researchers become more interested in the science of aviation, which from then on began to take shape. In modern day life, many millions of passengers are transported every year by air. People in the western societies take to the skies, on average, several times a year. Especially in areas surrounding busy airports, travel by plane has been on the rise since the end of the Second World War. Despite becoming familiar with the sight of a jumbo jet commencing its ight once or twice a day, many nd it astonishing that such a colossus with a mass of several hundred thousands of kilograms can actually lift off from the ground.

<p>The essential interdependence of subjects from several disciplines has been emphasized;</p><p>study is simplified by a comprehensive index;</p><p>The book emphasises practical insight into of flight physics, though the authors have not sacrificed mathematical rigour in order to simplify;</p><p>Numerous graphical illustrations, diagrams and photographs are included for clarification;</p><p>The book contains a brief history of aviation technology, as well as many notes referring to those who founded the science of flight physics.</p>

This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the theory (physical principles), design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. This latest edition focuses on the sensing technologies driven by the expanding use of sensors in mobile devices. These new miniature sensors will be described, with an emphasis on smart sensors which have embedded processing systems. The chapter on chemical sensors has also been expanded to present the latest developments.<div>
</div><div>Digital systems, however complex and intelligent they may be, must receive information from the outside world that is generally analog and not electrical. Sensors are interface devices between various physical values and the electronic circuits that 'understand' only a language of moving electrical charges. In other words, sensors are the eyes, ears, and noses of silicon chips.</div><div>
</div><div>Unlike other books on sensors, the Handbook of Modern Sensors is organized according to the measured variables (temperature, pressure, position, etc.). This book is a reference text for students, researchers interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor designers, application engineers and technicians whose job it is to understand, select and/or design sensors for practical systems.</div>

Covers nearly all imaginable types of sensorsPrevious editions widely used as a textbook and as a reference work in industryClear and engaging explanations of sensor design and operation

<div>Jacob Fraden holds a Ph.D. in medical electronics and is president of Fraden Corp., a technology company that develops sensors for consumer, medical and industrial applications. He has authored nearly 60 patents in the areas of sensing, medical instrumentation, security, energy management and others.</div>

1. Introduction.- 2. Unique features of AI.- 3. Responsibility for AI.- 4. Robot Rights.- 5. General Systems for Regulation of AI.- 6. Controlling the Creators: Regulation of Humans.- 7. Controlling the Creations: Regulation of AI itself.

<div>This book explains why AI is unique, what legal and ethical problems it could cause, and how we can address them. It argues that AI is unlike any other previous technology, owing to its ability to take decisions independently and unpredictably. This gives rise to three issues: responsibility--who is liable if AI causes harm; rights--the disputed moral and pragmatic grounds for granting AI legal personality; and the ethics surrounding the decision-making of AI. The book suggests that in order to address these questions we need to develop new institutions and regulations on a cross-industry and international level. Incorporating clear explanations of complex topics, Robot Rules will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience, from those with an interest in law, politics and philosophy, to computer programming, engineering and neuroscience. </div> <div>

This book provides a structured treatment of the key principles and techniques for enabling efficient processing of deep neural networks (DNNs). DNNs are currently widely used for many artificial intelligence (AI) applications, including computer vision, speech recognition, and robotics. While DNNs deliver state-of-the-art accuracy on many AI tasks, it comes at the cost of high computational complexity. Therefore, techniques that enable efficient processing of deep neural networks to improve key metrics—such as energy-efficiency, throughput, and latency—without sacrificing accuracy or increasing hardware costs are critical to enabling the wide deployment of DNNs in AI systems.
The book includes background on DNN processing; a description and taxonomy of hardware architectural approaches for designing DNN accelerators; key metrics for evaluating and comparing different designs; features of DNN processing that are amenable to hardware/algorithm co-design to improve energy efficiency and throughput; and opportunities for applying new technologies. Readers will find a structured introduction to the field as well as formalization and organization of key concepts from contemporary work that provide insights that may spark new ideas.

Rocket and spacecraft design: propellants, launch vehicles and spacecraft.- Mission planning and backup including choosing the launch site and supplies.- Navigation in three dimensions.- Communication.- Life in space (how humans cope).- Observing satellites: From naked eye observations to professional observatories.- Where to go (exploring the planets, the Moon, and further out).- What the future holds (different types of propulsion systems).- Glossary.- Index.

'Well, it’s not rocket science, is it?' How many times have you heard people use that expression when they mean something pretty simple? There are other areas of science and technology that are arguably more challenging than rocket science, but no other (perhaps apart from brain surgery) has entered mainstream English vocabulary as a byword for ‘difficult’. But ‘hard to understand’ isn’t the same as ‘impossible to understand’, as Dr Lucy Rogers – who is herself currently working as a rocket scientist – shows in this book. She describes, in everyday terms and entirely without complex math, just what is involved in launching something into space, to explore the universe beyond our small planet. If you want to understand the fundamentals of space flight, from how to leave the Earth – including the design of the rocket and vehicle, mission planning, navigation and communication – to life in space and the effects of weightlessness, begin your journey here.

For over fifty years satellites have circled the Earth and spacecraft have been used to explore our solar system. Every day ordinary people around the world use satellites for satellite television, GPS navigation, weather forecasts and other technologies. Many people are curious about how something gets into space - and stays there - and what the terms used in the media actually mean. Also, with the advent of space tourism, some people are starting to wonder if they too could go into space and what it would be like. Here, the author explains the basics of what is involved, from the initial idea to the completion of the mission. The beauty of this text, written by an engineer who is also an accomplished science writer, is that it covers the subject comprehensively, and yet is almost entirely descriptive and non-mathematical. It deals with all aspects of spaceflight, from how to leave the Earth (including the design of the rocket, mission planning, navigation and communication), to life in space and the effects of weightlessness. The book also includes sections describing how an amateur can track satellites and understand their trajectories, and on the future of spaceflight, touching on what is, and what is not, possible given present and expected future technologies.

Explains the mechanics of space flight without mathematicsReveals all aspects of moving into space, from rocket design to living in spaceMakes you want to become a space tourist

This book highlights the different aspects of the research project “E4C Horizon 2020 European Project” aimed at fighting the coronavirus by combining the best supercomputing resources and artificial intelligence with state-of-the-art experimental facilities up through clinical validation.

Coronavirus disease has become an important public issue across the globe since December 2019. There is an urgent need to develop potent anti-COVID-19 agents for the prevention of the outbreak and stop viral infections.

To this aim, a public–private consortium composed by European and national infrastructures, center of excellence, universities, and a pharmaceutical company started the E4C Horizon 2020 European

Project: Its core idea was to use the EXaSCale smArt pLatform Against paThogEns (EXSCALATE) supercomputing platform for a process known as “drug repurposing”, namely to identify the most promising safe in man drugs for immediate treatment of the already infected population and then novel pan-coronavirus inhibitors to address future emergencies.

This ambitious goal exploited a “chemical library” of 500 billion molecules, thanks to a processing capacity of more than 3 million molecules per second, made available by the computing power of the EXSCALATE platform.

Offers a comprehensive view of one of most important efforts in the research of drugs against the SARS-CoV-2 virusShows the different efforts from a multidisciplinary point of viewProvides an in-depth explanation of one of the most important cases of Urgent Computing

Introduction to the Interaction of Tires, Chassis, Aerodynamics, Differential Locks and Frame

History of motorsport.- Technical regulations.- Racing tyres.- Fundamentals of driving dynamics.- Aerodynamics.- Chassis.- Differential locks.- Concept and structure.- Safety in motorsport.- Examples and solutions.

This textbook clearly conveys the basic principles of vehicle dynamics that are required for the development and optimization of racing vehicles. The focus is on the interaction of tyres, aerodynamics, chassis, differential locks and the vehicle structure. The performance-determining properties of various components, such as the wing profiles, the underbody, the suspension, the steering or braking system, are described in detail. A historical review, an overview of the key data of the technical regulations, an explanation of various structural designs, and a discussion of the safety aspects of motorsport create an understanding of higher-level requirements for the design of racing vehicles. The basic knowledge acquired with this work provides an entry point for engineers and engineering students who are involved in motorsport - as designers, data analysts or race engineers - or who want to deepen their knowledge in the field of vehicle dynamics and chassis development.ThecontentHistory of motorsport.- Technical regulations.- Racing tyres.- Fundamentals of driving dynamics.- Aerodynamics.- Chassis.- Differential locks.- Concept and structure.- Safety in motorsport.- Examples and solutions.The target groups- Engineering students- Formula Student Team Members- Engineers from the automotive and motorsport industry- Motorsport journalists- Motorsport enthusiasts with technical background knowledgeThe author Dr.-Ing. Lars Frömmig has been involved in the driving dynamics and chassis tuning of production passenger cars for more than fifteen years. As a development engineer at Volkswagen AG, he was initially responsible in various roles for the tuning of controlled front axle differential locks and electromechanical steering systems as well as for the driving dynamics of controlled all-wheel drive systems. Today he is responsible for vehicle dynamics andtyre development at the chassis development department of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. As an honorary lecturer, he gives the lecture 'Racing Vehicles' at the Institute of Automotive Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig.


This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

The focus of the book is on the driving dynamics of racing vehicles. The interaction of the tyre, the aerodynamics, of the chassis and the limited slip differential specific to racing vehicles is dealt with. A chapter on the basics of vehicle dynamics makes it possible to get started with this topic even without prior automotive engineering training. A historical review and a consideration of the essential safety aspects create an understanding of higher-level requirements, which are specified, for example, by the technical regulations.

This book is entitled Analog Design Essentials because it contains all topics of importance to the analog designer which are essential to obtain sufficient insights to do a thorough job.The book starts with elementary stages in building up operational amplifiers. The synthesis of opamps is covered in great detail, such that lowest power consumption is always guaranteed. Many examples are included, operating at low supply voltages. Chapters on noise, distortion, filters, ADC/DACs and oscillators follow. These are all based on the extensive amount of teaching that the author has carried out both at universities and companies world-wide. All chapters have been drawn up specifically for self-study. They aim, however, at different levels of understanding. All start with elementary material. Most chapters also contain advanced material, especially from Chapter 9 onwards.A new format is used for this book. This has the advantages that the material used for teaching is also the material used by the student, and that only one additional aspect is explained per slide. The student can thus easily monitor their progress in understanding.It is hoped that this new format provides a better structure in both teaching and studying these essential topics in analog design.

SystemVerilog is a rich set of extensions to the Verilog Hardware Description Language (Verilog HDL). SystemVerilog for Design describes the correct usage of these extensions for modeling digital designs. These important extensions enable the representation of complex digital logic in concise, accurate, and reusable hardware models. All key SystemVerilog design features are presented, such as declaration spaces, two-state data types, enumerated types, user-defined types, structures, unions, interfaces, and RTL coding extensions. Emphasis is placed on the proper usage of these enhancements for simulation and synthesis. Design engineers, engineering managers and engineering students working with all sizes and types of digital designs, whether FPGA, ASIC or full custom, will find this book to be an invaluable learning tool and reference guide. The second edition of this book reflects the official IEEE 1800-2005 SystemVerilog standard. This IEEE SystemVerilog standard adds new capabilities, clarifications, and changes to the Accellera 3.1 SystemVerilog upon which the first edition of this book was based. Significant updates and revisions in the new edition include: A new chapter showing how to use SystemVerilog packages with single-file and multi-file compilers. - New code examples illustrating correct usage of the IEEE version of SystemVerilog. - Updated coding guidelines reflecting the capabilities of current simulator and synthesis Electronic Design Automation tools such as digital simulators and synthesis compilers. 'SystemVerilog makes it easier to produce more efficient and concise descriptions of complex hardware designs. The authors of this book have been involved with the development of the language from the beginning, and who is better to learn from than those involved from day one?' — Greg Spirakis, Vice President of Design Technology Intel Corporation 'Sun has been a driving force in SystemVerilog from its inception. SystemVerilog can significantly improve the productivity of designers in the coming years, and this book is a comprehensive reference text for engineers who want to learn about SystemVerilog for their next generation designs.' — Sunil Joshi, Vice President of Software Technologies & Compute Resources Sun Microsystems, Inc. 'SystemVerilog addresses the need for efficient and powerful modeling essential to support the complexity, size and scale of next generation hardware designs. This book explains how to use SystemVerilog effectively and provides numerous examples to illustrate how each of the language constructs can best be utilized.' — Chris Malachowsky, Co-Founder and Vice President of Hardware NVIDIA Corp.

SystemVerilog is a rich set of extensions to the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog Hardware Description Language (Verilog HDL). These extensions address two major aspects of HDL-based design. First, modeling very large designs with concise, accurate, and intuitive code. Second, writing high-level test programs to efficiently and effectively verify these large designs. The first edition of this book addressed the first aspect of the SystemVerilog extensions to Verilog. Important modeling features were presented, such as two-state data types, enumerated types, user-degined types, structures, unions, and interfaces. Emphasis was placed on the proper usage of these enhancements for simulation and synthesis. SystemVerilog for Design, Second Edition has been extensively revised on a chapter by chapter basis to include the many text and example updates needed to reflect changes that were made between the first edition of this book was written and the finalization of the new standard. It is important that the book reflect these syntax and semantic changes to the SystemVerilog language. In addition, the second edition features a new chapter that explanis the SystemVerilog 'packages', a new appendix that summarizes the synthesis guidelines presented throughout the book, and all of the code examples have been updated to the final syntax and rerun using the latest version of the Synopsys, Mentor, and Cadance tools.

The digitization of factories promises great potential benefits. The implementation of the various technologies for the smart factory is extremely complex, requires new competencies and necessitates significant investments. The question is: How can an industrial company successfully manage this transformation? For this purpose, more than 500 published use cases were screened. These could be categorized into 44 relevant use cases, which we describe in detail in the book. Our research has also shown that strategy and goal orientation must be at the core of the change. Furthermore, the combination of employee knowledge and use of technology is central to success. This led to the creation of our smart factory implementation approach. In various research and consulting projects we were able to apply this process and realize successful implementations in different companies. This 7-step process starts with the selection of promising use cases, followed by a prioritization step, adaptation to the company-specific context and a detailing of the information needs for the different management levels. Stringent project management helps the user achieve positive results that can then be rolled out on a global scale. This process is not only applicable to the 'actual factory' but can also be used to design smart services for the factory of tomorrow.

Basic study of railways after World War II.- Commemorative lecture on the possibility of high-speed railways.- Decision of constructing a Shinkansen line and technological problems.- Technological development to realize Shinkansen.- Breakdowns after the opening.- Shinkansen in 2020.

<div>This book discusses the Shinkansen, the world's first high-speed railway, which was born in Japan in 1964 and how it has developed up to the present day. In the 1950s, some European railways were trying to increase the commercial operating speed up to 160 km/h, and it was considered difficult to raise it to 200 km/h. Japanese engineers with excellent engineering ability post World War ll moved from the military to the railways to overcome the technological challenges realizing the high-speed railways using new approaches. The book discusses the technological barriers in speeding up the railway at that time and how these engineers overcame them in non-computer days. In the five decades since the Shinkansen began operating, there have been significant developments enabling high-speed, safe, and frequent train operation with high punctuality while conserving the environment. The book also describes today’s highly evolved Shinkansen. The Shinkansen, which runs 440,000 km a day, has carried 13.3 billion people without a single fatality in 56 years. The book overviews factors that contributed to the Shinkansen’s high safety record. This book is an excellent guide for those interested in the history of the world’s first high-speed railway.

Preface.- Nature and power.- Economies of scale.- Hierarchy.- Inequality.- Social organization and innovation.- Complexity.- Discipline.- Diversity.- Evolution.- Diminishing returns.- Science and freedom.- Acknowledgements.

The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the ‘trees’ of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic). It then shows how all flow systems are driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom. Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power derived from our “engines” that consume fuel and food, and that our movement dissipates the power completely and changes constantly for greater access, economies of scale, efficiency, innovation and life. Written for wide audiences of all ages, including readers interested in science, patterns in nature, similarity and non-uniformity, history and the future, and those just interested in having fun with ideas, the book shows how many “design change” concepts acquire a solid scientific footing and how they exist with the evolution of nature, society, technology and science.

A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence, Second Edition

Preface to the Second Edition.- Preface to the First Edition.- Introduction to Consistency and Coherence.- Coherence Basics.- Memory Consistency Motivation and Sequential Consistency.- Total Store Order and the \lowercase {X.- Relaxed Memory Consistency.- Coherence Protocols.- Snooping Coherence Protocols.- Directory Coherence Protocols.- Advanced Topics in Coherence.- Consistency and Coherence for Heterogeneous Systems.- Specifying and Validating Memory Consistency Models and Cache Coherence.- Authors' Biographies .

Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules about loads and stores (or memory reads and writes) and how they act upon memory. As part of supporting a memory consistency model, many machines also provide cache coherence protocols that ensure that multiple cached copies of data are kept up-to-date. The goal of this primer is to provide readers with a basic understanding of consistency and coherence. This understanding includes both the issues that must be solved as well as a variety of solutions. We present both high-level concepts as well as specific, concrete examples from real-world systems.
This second edition reflects a decade of advancements since the first edition and includes, among other more modest changes, two new chapters: one on consistency and coherence for non-CPU accelerators (with a focus on GPUs) and one that points to formal work and tools on consistency and coherence.

Introduction.- Technology Know-How: From Silicon to Devices.- Bridges to Technology: Interfaces, Design Rules and Libraries.- Methodologies for Physical Design: Models, Styles, Tasks, and Flows.- Steps in Physical Design: From Netlist to Layout Post Processing.- Special Layout Techniques for Analog IC Design.- Addressing Reliability in Physical Design.

This book covers the fundamental knowledge of layout design from the ground up, addressing both physical design, as generally applied to digital circuits, and analog layout. Such knowledge provides the critical awareness and insights a layout designer must possess to convert a structural description produced during circuit design into the physical layout used for IC/PCB fabrication. The book introduces the technological know-how to transform silicon into functional devices, to understand the technology for which a layout is targeted (Chap. 2). Using this core technology knowledge as the foundation, subsequent chapters delve deeper into specific constraints and aspects of physical design, such as interfaces, design rules and libraries (Chap. 3), design flows and models (Chap. 4), design steps (Chap. 5), analog design specifics (Chap. 6), and finally reliability measures (Chap. 7). Besides serving as a textbook for engineering students, this book is a foundational reference for today’s circuit designers.For Slides and Other Information: https://www.ifte.de/books/pd/index.html




This is a welcome and very important new reference book for both students and practicing microelectronics design engineers. It fills a gap in pedagogy that has been growing over time, by building from foundations while spanning layers of system architecture and integration, as well as both analog and digital layout.

The revised second edition of
this established text offers readers a significantly expanded introduction to
the effects of radiation on metals and alloys. It describes the various
processes that occur when energetic particles strike a solid, inducing changes
to the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Specifically it
covers particle interaction with the metals and alloys used in nuclear reactor
cores and hence subject to intense radiation fields. It describes the basics of
particle-atom interaction for a range of particle types, the amount and spatial
extent of the resulting radiation damage, the physical effects of irradiation
and the changes in mechanical behavior of irradiated metals and alloys.



Updated throughout, some major
enhancements for the new edition include improved treatment of low- and
intermediate-energy elastic collisions and stopping power, expanded sections on
molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo methodologies describing collision
cascade evolution, new treatment of the multi-frequency model of diffusion,
numerous examples of RIS in austenitic and ferritic-martensitic alloys,
expanded treatment of in-cascade defect clustering, cluster evolution, and
cluster mobility, new discussion of void behavior near grain boundaries, a new
section on ion beam assisted deposition, and reorganization of hardening, creep
and fracture of irradiated materials (Chaps 12-14) to provide a smoother and
more integrated transition between the topics. The book also contains two new
chapters. Chapter 15 focuses on the fundamentals of corrosion and stress
corrosion cracking, covering forms of corrosion, corrosion thermodynamics,
corrosion kinetics, polarization theory, passivity, crevice corrosion, and
stress corrosion cracking. Chapter 16 extends this treatment and considers the
effects of irradiation on corrosion and environmentally assisted corrosion,
including the effects of irradiation on water chemistry and the mechanisms of
irradiation-induced stress corrosion cracking.

The book maintains the previous
style, concepts are developed systematically and quantitatively, supported by
worked examples, references for further reading, end-of-chapter problem sets
and an online solutions manual. Aimed primarily and students of materials
sciences and nuclear engineering, the book will also provide a valuable
resource for academic and industrial research professionals.

'…nomenclature, problems and separate bibliography at the end of each chapter allow to the reader to reach a straightforward understanding of the subject, part by part. … this book is very pleasant to read, well documented and can be seen as a very good introduction to the effects of irradiation on matter, or as a good references compilation for experimented readers.' - Pauly Nicolas, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 30 (1), 2008“The text provides enough fundamental material to explain the science and theory behind radiation effects in solids, but is also written at a high enough level to be useful for professional scientists. Its organization suits a graduate level materials or nuclear science course… the text was written by a noted expert and active researcher in the field of radiation effects in metals, the selection and organization of the material is excellent… may well become a necessary reference for graduate students and researchers in radiation materials science.” - L.M. Dougherty, 07/11/2008, JOM, the Member Journal of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.

This book is the first textbook specially on multicopter systems in the world. It provides a comprehensive overview of multicopter systems, rather than focusing on a single method or technique. The fifteen chapters are divided into five parts, covering the topics of multicopter design, modeling, state estimation, control, and decision-making. It differs from other books in the field in three major respects: it is basic and practical, offering self-contained content and presenting hands-on methods; it is comprehensive and systematic; and it is timely. It is also closely related to the autopilot that users often employ today and provides insights into the code employed. As such, it offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in multicopters, including students, teachers, researchers, and engineers.

Preface.- Acknowledgments.- Definitions.- The Popek/Goldberg Theorem.- Virtualization without Architectural Support.- x86-64: CPU Virtualization with VT-x.- x86-64: MMU Virtualization with Extended Page Tables.- x86-64: I/O Virtualization.- Virtualization Support in ARM Processors.- Comparing ARM and x86 Virtualization Performance.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies.- Index .

This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques.Despite the focus on architectural support in current architectures, some historical perspective is necessary to appropriately frame the problem. The first half of the book provides the historical perspective of the theoretical framework developed four decades ago by Popek and Goldberg. It also describes earlier systems that enabled virtualization despite the lack of architectural support in hardware.As is often the case, theory defines a necessary—but not sufficient—set of features, and modern architectures are the result of the combination of the theoretical framework with insights derived frompractical systems. The second half of the book describes state-of-the-art support for virtualization in both x86-64 and ARM processors. This book includes an in-depth description of the CPU, memory, and I/O virtualization of these two processor architectures, as well as case studies on the Linux/KVM, VMware, and Xen hypervisors. It concludes with a performance comparison of virtualization on current-generation x86- and ARM-based systems across multiple hypervisors.

Introduction.- Basic Language.- Basic Data Structures.- Basic Programming.- File Input/Output.- Dealing with Errors.- Power Python Features to Master.- Advanced Language Features.- Using modules.- Object oriented programming.- Debugging from Python.- Using Numpy – Numerical Arrays in Python.- Data Visualization Using Python.- Bokeh for Web-based Visualization.- Getting Started with Pandas.- Some Useful Python-Fu.- Conclusion.

This textbook grew out of notes for the ECE143 Programming for Data Analysis class that the author has been teaching at University of California, San Diego, which is a requirement for both graduate and undergraduate degrees in Machine Learning and Data Science. This book is ideal for readers with some Python programming experience. The book covers key language concepts that must be understood to program effectively, especially for data analysis applications. Certain low-level language features are discussed in detail, especially Python memory management and data structures. Using Python effectively means taking advantage of its vast ecosystem. The book discusses Python package management and how to use third-party modules as well as how to structure your own Python modules. The section on object-oriented programming explains features of the language that facilitate common programming patterns.After developing the key Python language features, the book moves on to third-party modules that are foundational for effective data analysis, starting with Numpy. The book develops key Numpy concepts and discusses internal Numpy array data structures and memory usage. Then, the author moves onto Pandas and details its many features for data processing and alignment. Because strong visualizations are important for communicating data analysis, key modules such as Matplotlib are developed in detail, along with web-based options such as Bokeh, Holoviews, Altair, and Plotly.The text is sprinkled with many tricks-of-the-trade that help avoid common pitfalls. The author explains the internal logic embodied in the Python language so that readers can get into the Python mindset and make better design choices in their codes, which is especially helpful for newcomers to both Python and data analysis. To get the most out of this book, open a Python interpreter and type along with the many code samples.

Sources and characteristics of remote sensing image data.- correcting and registering images.- interpreting images.- radiometric enhancement of images.- geometric processing and enhancement: image domain techniques.- spectral domain image transforms.- spatial domain image transforms.- supervised classification techniques.- clustering and unsupervised classification.- Feature Reduction.- Image Classification in Practice.- Multisource Image Analysis.

Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis provides a comprehensive treatment of the methods used for the processing and interpretation of remotely sensed image data. Over the past decade there have been continuing and significant developments in the algorithms used for the analysis of remote sensing imagery, even though many of the fundamentals have substantially remained the same. As with its predecessors this new edition again presents material that has retained value but also includes newer techniques, covered from the perspective of operational remote sensing.The book is designed as a teaching text for the senior undergraduate and postgraduate student, and as a fundamental treatment for those engaged in research using digital image analysis in remote sensing. The presentation level is for the mathematical non-specialist. Since the very great number of operational users of remote sensing come from the earth sciences communities, the text is pitched at a level commensurate with their background. The chapters progress logically through means for the acquisition of remote sensing images, techniques by which they can be corrected, and methods for their interpretation. The prime focus is on applications of the methods, so that worked examples are included and a set of problems conclude each chapter.<div>

The Science and Engineering of Mechanical Shock.- Common Mechanical Shock Environments.- Single Degree-of-Freedom Systems.- Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems.- Special Topics.- Appendix.

This book fills a unique position in the literature as a dedicated mechanical shock analysis book. Because shock events can be extremely damaging, mechanical shock is an important topic for engineers to understand. This book provides the reader with the tools needed to quantitatively describe shock environments and their damage potential on aerospace, civil, naval and mechanical systems. The authors include the relevant history of how shock testing and analysis came to its current state and a discussion of the different types of shock environments typically experienced by systems. Development of single-degree-of-freedom theory and the theory of the shock response spectra are covered, consistent with treatment of shock spectra theory in the literature.

What is unique is the expansion to other types of spectra including less common types of shock spectra and energy spectra methods using fundamental principles of structural dynamics. In addition, non-spectral methods are discussed with their applications. Non-spectral methods are almost completely absent from the current books on mechanical shock. Multi-degree-of-freedom shock spectra and multi-degree-of-freedom testing are discussed and the theory is developed. Addressing an emerging field for laboratory shock testing, the authors bring together information currently available only in journals and conference publications.


The volume is ideal for engineers, structural designers, and structural materials fabricators needing a foundation to practically analyze shock environments and understand their role in structural design.


Presents mechanical shock from a structural dynamics perspective
Adopts a flexible structure supporting use as a reference for practicing engineers as well as a textbook for students of mechanical shock
Sheds light on less common and less well-understood spectra techniques, energy spectra methods, and non-spectral methods
Maximizes reader understanding of multi-degree-of-freedom shock spectra and multi-degree-of-freedom testing
Facilitates easy implementation computational analysis with algorithms and pseudo-code
Includes the history of mechanical shock analysis and testing up to the present

Chapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Systems Engineering.- 3. The Space Segment.- Chapter 4. The Ground Segment.- Chapter 5. The TT&C Network.- Chapter 6. The Flight Dynamics Facility.- Chapter 7. The Satellite Control Facility.- Chapter 8. The Mission Planning Facility.- Chapter 9. The Operations Preparation Facility.- Chapter 10. The Monitoring & Control Facility.- Chapter 11. The Satellite Simulator.- Chapter 12. Auxiliary Services.- Chapter 13. The Physical Architecture.- Chapter 14. Virtualisation.- Chapter 15. Operations.- Chapter 16. Cyber Security.

The ground segment is the fundamental backbone of every satellite project, yet it is usually not visible to the public or the end user of a satellite service. Also the bulk of existing published space literature tends to focus on the satellite or its subsystems. This book tries to fill this gap and addresses systems engineering concepts applied to the design, development, qualification, and deployment of the ground control segment required to operate a single satellite, a constellation, or even a manned space vehicle.

The domain of ground segment engineering has significantly evolved in recent years, mainly driven by major advances in the IT sector. Hardware virtualisation or the availability of on-demand cloud computing services are typical examples of new technologies that have changed fundamental architectural concepts previously standard in heritage ground segments. Furthermore, the stark increase of cyber attacks - today a major risk to almost all critical IT based infrastructure - has made a cyber threat resilient architecture to become one of the indispensable design requirements for ground segment engineers. The new mega constellations recently put into space deploying up to several hundred of flying objects have put very demanding needs on the ground segment for automated satellite operations. These topics and more are addressed in the book’s chapters, along with a detailed explanation of the most relevant components of a typical ground segment architecture. The basic functional requirements, design features, and the most important ground and space segment interfaces are addressed and explained in detail, supported by a wealth of figures for easier understanding.

This book is kept at an introductory level, allowing newcomers to get familiar with this fairly complex subject matter. It is therefore suitable for graduate students, but can equally serve as a valuable source of information for already experienced space engineers who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the ground segment infrastructure and related systems engineering processes. It can also help project managers to better interact with their systems engineers, satellite developers to define their ground segment interfaces, and satellite operators to improve their flight and ground procedures. It is very well suited for everyone intending to start a career in satellite ground segment systems engineering.

Transhumanism and science: a reality check.- Conclusion. Stealing God’s Thunder.

This book is designed to offer a comprehensive high-level introduction to transhumanism, an international political and cultural movement that aims to produce a “paradigm shift” in our ethical and political understanding of human evolution. Transhumanist thinkers want the human species to take the course of evolution into its own hands, using advanced technologies currently under development – such as robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cognitive neurosciences, and nanotechnology – to overcome our present physical and mental limitations, improve our intelligence beyond the current maximum achievable level, acquire skills that are currently the preserve of other species, abolish involuntary aging and death, and ultimately achieve a post-human level of existence. The book covers transhumanism from a historical, philosophical, and scientific viewpoint, tracing its cultural roots, discussing the main philosophical, epistemological, and ethical issues, and reviewing the stateof the art in scientific research on the topics of most interest to transhumanists. The writing style is clear and accessible for the general reader, but the book will also appeal to graduate and undergraduate students.
