Mathematical Processing of Spectral Data in Analytical Chemistry
For practitioners, researchers, and students, this book covers advanced calibration and the estimation of peak parameters in overlapping spectra. It provides easily reproducible computer calculations, making it a practical guide to analytical spectrometry and chemometrics.
This book offers profound analyses of the main theoretical and practical aspects of the concept of sustainable development. The focus on the international aspects of the implementation of ideas of this notion makes the insights provided here fresh and unique.
This book examines the political role of architecture through a study of Tehran’s bazaar. Going beyond conventional discourse, it considers architecture as an event, using concepts from Foucault to analyze how it transforms individuals through the act of exchange.
Philosophical Semantics
This book offers an innovative systematic approach to meaning and reference, unifying insights from philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege while exposing errors of formalists from Quine to Kripke. It shows how the cartography of philosophy of language can be redrawn.
In dynamic ad-hoc networks, link failures lead to unreliable and inefficient data transmission. This work proposes LR-EE-AOMDV, a novel extension of the AOMDV routing protocol, to find multiple link-reliable, energy-efficient paths for robust data transmission.
This book explores landscape management and ecology, investigating issues from urban park design and green urbanism to protected areas and urban transformation. The volume will appeal to researchers, local authorities, academics, and students.
The Transformation of Addis Ababa
Written by Ethiopian and Finnish experts in urban planning, architecture, geography, and ethnology, this publication documents for the first time Addis Ababa’s process of radical transformation, and asks how the city’s poorest residents are affected by urban renewal.
A must-read for professionals and advocates of historic preservation, this volume is a compendium of powerful essays by thought-leaders in the field first presented in 2016 as part of the fiftieth anniversary observation of the US National Historic Preservation Act.
Controllability of Dynamic Systems
This book explores the Green’s function method for controllability analysis in dynamic systems. Valid for both linear and nonlinear dynamics, the approach is shown with examples of sophisticated issues and extensive numerical analysis, revealing its advantages and drawbacks.
This book promotes formal methods for problem-solving in architecture and urbanism. It presents theoretically driven techniques, from millennial geometry to current shape grammars, to produce better solutions with less testing time in direct confrontation with reality.
Large Dams in India
This book reviews large dams in India, analysing the proposed Tipaimukh dam project to reveal the strong connections between risk, technology, politics and environmentalism.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
First Generation Mainframes
This volume describes the IBM computer systems that influenced architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. These modular systems featured a common architecture for peripherals, the first operating systems, and groundbreaking software like the FORTRAN programming language.
Attitude Stabilization for CubeSat
This book explores CubeSat technology, focusing on the mathematical modeling of spacecraft attitude. It covers passive and active stabilization methods and the design of controllers like PID, LQR, and FLC to control CubeSat three-axis stabilization using magnetic coils.
Patents and Artificial Intelligence
Dochniak showcases the immense utility of AI, providing an easy-to-read summary of many of the approximately 150 patents with the phrase “artificial intelligence” in their titles which were granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office from 1987 to 2017.
Wallace examines the social, technical and educational implications of a society where hyper-reality, artificial intelligence and robotics may be at the centre of the new online spaces that will surely further shape us into an unknown future.
This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on magnetic and electric dipolar resonance. In addition to known results, it presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles, which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.
This book covers the composition, production, testing methods, and application of modern cellulose fibre cement boards (FCB). It explores fabrication, testing procedures, and practical applications illustrated with examples. Valuable for researchers, architects, and engineers.
This book offers a statistical study and a dynamical approach to stellar systems. It explains and solves the closure problem for any velocity distribution, and applies these methods to describe the mixture of stellar populations in the Milky Way.
Integral Ecology
Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis’ ecological encyclical “Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home”, this conference proceedings engages both secular and religious perspectives on crucial issues that threaten the ecology of our planet.
