Book DescriptionSuccessful remote sensing methods and applications are rooted in the science, art, and technology of earth observation, part of the larger emerging world of geographical information science Sensors are increasingly sensitive to the phenomena we wish to observe and image analysis systems are increasingly able to transform озщпв the data and deliver the required information At the same time, advances in forest science and management continue to develop momentum A renewed commitment to understanding forests at different scales and with a process-based perspective has helped generate demand for information about forests that is feasibly acquired only by remote sensing Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is an edited volume intended to provide readers with a state-of-the-art synopsis of the current methods and applied applications employed in remote sensing the world's forests The contributing authors have sought to illustrate and deepen our understanding of remote sensing of forests, providing new insights and indicating opportunities that are created when forests and forest practices are considered in concert with the evolving paradigm of remote sensing science Following background and methods sections, this book introduces a series of case studies that exemplify the ways in which remotely sensed data are operationally used, as an element of the decision-making process, and in the scientific study of forests Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is designed to meet the needs of a professional audience composed of both practitioners and researchers This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in Forestry, Environmental Science, Geography, Engineering, and Computer Science.  2003 г 552 стр ISBN 1402074050.

"Of course I want a home," writes Mary Elizabeth Williams, "I'm American " Gimme Shelter is the first book to reveal how this primal desire, "encoded into our cultural DNA," drove our nation to extremes, from the heights of an unprecedented housing boom to the depths of an unparalleled crash As a writer and parent озщпн in New York City, Williams is careful to ground her real-estate dreams in the reality of her middle-class bank account Yet as a person who knows no other way to fall in love than at first sight, her relationship with the nation's most daunting housing market is a passionate one Williams's house-hunting fantasy quickly morphs into a test of endurance, as her search for a place to live and a mortgage she can afford stretches into a three-year odyssey that takes her to the farthest reaches of the boroughs and the limits of her own patience "Welcome to the tracks," she declares at the outset of yet another weekend tour of blindingly bad, wildly overpriced properties "Let's go to the wrong side of them, shall we?" As her own quest unfolds, Williams simultaneously reports on the housing markets nationwide Friends and family members grapple with real estate agents and lenders, neighborhood and quality-of-life issues, all the while voicing common concerns, as expressed by this Maryland working parent of three: "The market was so hot, there were no houses We looked for years at places the owners wouldn't even clean, let alone fix up "How frustrating is the process? Williams likens it to hearing "the opening bars of a song you think is 'Super Freak ' And then it turns out to be 'U Can't Touch This '" Told in an engaging blend of factfinding and memoir, Gimme Shelter charts the course of the real estate bubble as it floated ever upward, not with faceless numbers and documents but with the details of countless personal stories -- about the undeniable urge to put down roots and the lengths to which we'll go to find our way home.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 336 стр ISBN 1416557083.

Book DescriptionFourier transforms are used widely, and are of particular value in the analysis of single functions and combinations of functions found in radar and signal processing Still, many problems that could have been tackled by using Fourier transforms may have gone unsolved because they require integration that is difficult and tedious озщпс Now you can solve many of these problems with the integration-free approach to carrying out Fourier transforms (and Fourier series) presented in this book By building upon Woodward's well known "Rules and Pairs" method and related concepts and procedures, this book establishes a unified system that makes implicit the integration required for performing Fourier transforms on a wide variety of functions It details how complex functions can be broken down to their constituent parts for analysis You can now concentrate on functional relationships instead of getting bogged down in the details of integration This approach to implementing Fourier transforms is illustrated with many specific examples from digital signal processing as well as radar and antenna operation.  2003 г 216 стр ISBN 1580531741.

No matter how one looks at the economic and environmental woes plaguing America, in essence they are simply costs of all kinds-costs that keep escalating and accelerating at the same time Housing foreclosures, rising energy and food prices, unaffordable healthcare, accumulating credit card debt, bailouts, devaluation of the U S dollar, budget озщпщ deficits, rising unemployment, products built with planned obsolescence and obsolete technologies, global warming, depletion of natural resources, nuclear wastes, wars-all of these represent costs, either recurring, periodic, catastrophic, or of some other type What can we do about the plague of cost? We should - and can - get rid of it for good But how can we do this when everything has a cost of some kind? By implementing the concept of a zero-cost economy, as presented in this book This blueprint can serve every country in the world, regardless of its specific economic and environmental conditions The ultimate goal of a zero-cost economy is to create a cost-free and a carefree economy-Carefreeism, defined as economic security in a carefree economy Carefreeism serves the general economic interests of all groups of people, from impoverished to the superrich, without being politically tainted by any political party It is environmentally compatible as well as universally applicable concept Therefore, the main goal of a conscious and responsible government, whether state or federal, should be to follow the concept of a zero-cost economy, immediately and rigorously, if the human race ultimately is to enjoy general economic security and prosperity in peace.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 180 стр ISBN 1440121680.

Book DescriptionPower reduction is a central priority in battery-powered medical implantable devices, particularly pacemakers, to either increase battery lifetime or decrease size using a smaller battery Low Power Analog CMOS for Cardiac Pacemakers proposes new techniques for the reduction of power consumption in analog integrated circuits озщпх Our main example is the pacemaker sense channel, which is representative of a broader class of biomedical circuits aimed at qualitatively detecting biological signals The first and second chapters are a tutorial presentation on implantable medical devices and pacemakers from the circuit designer point of view This is illustrated by the requirements and solutions applied in our implementation ofan industrial IC for pacemakers There from, the book discusses the means for reduction of power consumption at three levels: base technology, power-oriented analytical synthesis procedures and circuit architecture At the technology level, we analyze the impact that the application of the fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD SOI) technology has on this kind of analog circuits The basic building block levels as well as the system level (pacemaker sense channel) are considered Concerning the design technique, we apply a methodology, based on the transconductance to current ratio that exploits all regions of inversion of the MOS transistor Various performance aspects of analog building blocks are modeled and a power optimization synthesis of OTAsfor a given total settling time (including the slewing and linear regions) is proposed At the circuit level, we present a new design approach of a class AB output stage suitable for micropower application In our design approach, the usual advantages of the application of a class AB output stage are enhanced by the application of a transconductance multiplication effect These techniques are tested in experimental prototypes of amplifiers and complete pacemaker sense channel implementations in SOI and standard bulk CMOS technologies An ultra low consumption of 110 nA (0 3µ W) is achieved in a FD SOI sense channel implementation Though primarily addressed to the pacemaker system, the techniques proposed are shown to have application in other contexts where power reduction is a main concern.  2004 г 215 стр ISBN 140207719X.

Book DescriptionOur society is faced with an increasing dependence on computing systems, not only in high tech consumer applications but also in areas (e g , air and railway traffic control, nuclear plant control, aircraft and car control) where a failure can be critical for the safety of human beings Unfortunately, it is accepted that large digital озщпь systems cannot be fault-free Some faults may be attributed to inaccuracy during the development, while others can come from external causes such as environmental stress Radiations, electromagnetic interference and power glitches are some of the most common causes of transient faults As a consequence, the past years have seen a growing interest in methods for studying the behaviour of computer-based systems when faults occur, and several approaches have been proposed to evaluate the dependability properties of a computer-based system Fault Injection, i e , the artificial injection of faults into a computer system in order to study its behaviour, emerged as a viable solution, and has been deeply investigated by both academia and industry Different techniques have been proposed and some of them practically experimented Fault Injection Techniques and Tools for Embedded Systems Reliability Evaluation intends to be a comprehensive guide to Fault Injection techniques used to evaluate the dependability of a digital system The description and the critical analysis of different Fault Injection techniques and tools will be authored by key scientists in the field of system dependability and fault tolerance.  2003 г 245 стр ISBN 1402075898.

Book DescriptionEmbedded systems can be defined as information processing systems embedded into enclosing products such as cars, telecommunication or fabrication equipment Such systems come with a large number of common characteristics, including real-time constraints, and dependability as well as efficiency requirements Following озщрг the success of information technology (IT) for office and workflow applications, embedded systems are considered to be the most important application area of IT during the coming years This importance of embedded systems is so far not well reflected in many of the current curricula Embedded System Design is intended as an aid for changing this situation It provides the material for a first course on embedded systems, but can also be used by PhD students and professors A key goal of this book is to provide an overview of embedded system design and to relate the most important topics in embedded system design to each other It should help to motivate students as well as professors to put more emphasis on education in embedded systems In order to facilitate teaching from this book, slides, exercises and other related material can be downloaded via the author's web page.  2005 г 264 стр ISBN 1402076908.

This book will frame Generation Y (children born between 1978-1991) for corporate leaders and managers at time when the corporate world is desperate to recruit and retain worked in this age group It will debunk dozens of myths, including that young employees have no sense of loyalty, won't do grunt work, won't take direction, want to interact only озщси with computers, and are only about money This book will make a unique contribution in four key ways: It will disprove the idea that the key to recruiting, retaining, and managing this generation is to somehow make the workplace more "fun " To the contrary, Tulgan argues that the key to winning the respect of this generation, and getting the best effort out of them, is to carefully manage their expectations by never downplaying any negative aspect of a job He will show managers how this Generation thinks transactionally in all negotiations For them it's about what they will do for you today and what you will do for them today, not tomorrow, not five years from today, but today He will explain why they have no interest in tying their futures to your corporation But he will also make clear that they do have a well thought-out plan for themselves, one that requires that every job they take build up their skill sets, so they become more valuable employees for someone else--if and when you do not fulfill your end of the bargain, or drag your feet in doing so But most of all, it will explain to corporate leaders that for this generation their personal life comes first, so that each job they take must accommodate itself to some need defined by their personal life Tulgan argues that until you know the personal need the job can satisfy for a potential employee, you and the applicant may be talking past each other Those needs are so beyond the imagination of most bosses that Tulgan devotes a third of the book to explaining how they affect the job decisions of this generation.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 192 стр ISBN 0470256265.

Book DescriptionOne of the grand challenges in the nano-scopic computing era is guarantees of robustness Robust computing system design is confronted with quantum physical, probabilistic, and even biological phenomena, and guaranteeing high reliability is much more difficult than ever before Scaling devices down to the level of single electron озщтй operation will bring forth new challenges due to probabilistic effects and uncertainty in guaranteeing 'zero-one' based computing Minuscule devices imply billions of devices on a single chip, which may help mitigate the challenge of uncertainty by replication and redundancy However, such device densities will create a design and validation nightmare with the shear scale The questions that confront computer engineers regarding the current status of nanocomputing material and the reliability of systems built from such miniscule devices, are difficult to articulate and answer We have found a lack of resources in the confines of a single volume that at least partially attempts to answer these questions We believe that this volume contains a large amount of research material as well as new ideas that will be very useful for some one starting research in the arena of nanocomputing, not at the device level, but theproblems one would face at system level design and validation when nanoscopic physicality will be present at the device level.  2004 г 358 стр ISBN 1402080670.
