В данной статье характеризуется основной вклад школы «Системный анализ в проектировании и управлении» в развитие информатики, теории информационных систем и технологий. Кратко излагаются следующие результаты: уточнение понятия «информация»; применение определения системы, основанного на системно-целевом подходе, для обоснования многоуровневой структуры информационного комплекса; предложенные класс…
Indentation techniques have become widely used in the characterization of brittle solids due to their simplicity, cost effectiveness, rapidness, and maybe most importantly, the indenter itself can be used as a mechanical microprobe in thin films, interfaces, grain boundaries, and nanocomposites. The papers in these proceedings cover measurement techniques, reliability of, and problems associated w…
Computational Optimal Control: Tools and Practice provides a detailed guide to informed use of computational optimal control in advanced engineering practice, addressing the need for a better understanding of the practical application of optimal control using computational techniques. Throughout the text the authors employ an advanced aeronautical case study to provide a practical, real-life setti…
This invaluable resource tells the complete story of failure mechanisms—from basic concepts to the tools necessary to conduct reliability tests and analyze the results. Both a text and a reference work for this important area of semiconductor technology, it assumes no reliability education or experience. It also offers the first reference book with all relevant physics, equations, and step-by-step…
Today, audiovisual archives and libraries have become very popular especially in the field of collecting, preserving and transmitting cultural heritage. However, the data in these archives or libraries – videos, images, soundtracks, etc. – constitute as such only potential cognitive resources for a given public (or “target community”). One of the most crucial issues of digital audiovisual librarie…
Expert coverage of the design and implementation of state estimation algorithms for tracking and navigation Estimation with Applications to Tracking and Navigation treats the estimation of various quantities from inherently inaccurate remote observations. It explains state estimator design using a balanced combination of linear systems, probability, and statistics. The authors provide a review of …
The design of mechanical structures with improved and predictable durability cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue damage and more specifically the relationships between the microstructure of materials and their fatigue properties. Written by leading experts in the field, this book (which is complementary to Fatigue of Materials and Structures: Applicatio…
Buildings consume 40% of our planet’s materials and 30% of its energy. Their construction uses up to three million tonnes of raw materials a year and generates 20% of the soild waste stream. If we want to survive our urban future, there is no option but to build in ways which improve the health of ecosystems. Understanding the concept of ecological sustainability and translating it into practice a…
Bridging the industry divide between the technical expertise of engineers and the aims of market and business planners, Making Telecoms Work provides a basis for more effective interdisciplinary analysis of technology, engineering, market and business investment risk and opportunity. Since fixed and mobile broadband has become a dominant deliverable, multiple areas of transition and transformation…
Авторами исследована задача определения состояния информационной безопасности объектов с использованием информации сигналов наводок электромагнитных излучений отдельных элементов устройств киберфизических систем. Рассмотрены основные побочные каналы, с помощью которых представляется возможным произвести мониторинг состояния системы и анализ программно-аппаратной среды. Подобные «независимые» спосо…
По официальной версии ПЕРВОПРИЧИНОЙ катастрофы явилось «усталостное разрушение шпилек М80 крепления крышки к статору гидротурбины гидроагрегата №2»; дальнейшее развитие аварии — в режиме синхронного генератора. Автор считает официальную версию принципиально ошибочной… и предлагает альтернативную, согласно которой ПЕРВОПРИЧИНОЙ катастрофы явилось ЗАКЛИНИВАНИЕ рабочего колеса гидротурбины гидроагрег…

Macrocyclic molecules contain rings made up of seven or more atoms. They are interesting because they provide building blocks for synthesizing precise two or three dimensional structures – an important goal in nanotechnology. For example, they can be used to develop nanosized reaction vessels, cages, switches and shuttles, and have potential as components in molecular computers. They also have app…
