Network coding, a relatively new area of research, has evolved from the theoretical level to become a tool used to optimize the performance of communication networks – wired, cellular, ad hoc, etc. The idea consists of mixing “packets” of data together when routing them from source to destination. Since network coding increases the network performance, it becomes a tool to enhance the existing pro…
This book addresses artificial materials including photonic crystals (PC) and metamaterials (MM). The first part is devoted to design concepts: negative permeability and permittivity for negative refraction, periodic structures, transformation optics. The second part concerns PC and MM in stop band regime: from cavities, guides to high impedance surfaces. Abnormal refraction, less than one and neg…
В книге разработаны вопросы подобия, модели релаксационных процессов, средства численного воспроизведения повышенной надежности и проведены комплексные исследования стационарных и нестационарных течений с конденсацией и высокотемпературной релаксацией однокомпонентных газов, влажного воздуха и запыленных сред в типичных соплах аэродинамических труб в диапазоне параметров торможения, обеспечивающих…
Cyberdefense has become, over the past five years, a major issue on the international scene. China, by the place it occupies, is the subject of attention: it is observed, criticized, and designated by many states as a major player in the global cyber-insecurity. The United States is building their cyberdefense strategy against what they call the «Chinese threat.» It is therefore important to bette…

This book will include papers on recent research carried out in the field of metal-matrix composites (MMCs). Processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties of MMCs and unreinforced matrix alloys will be covered with a focus on aluminum, titanium, nickel, and copper MMCs. Those involved in the research of MMCs and unreinforced alloys, particularly in aerospace, space, and automotive material…
Книга посвящена одному из наиболее быстро развивающихся и перспективных направлений химического анализа – методам с использованием принципиально новых аналитических приборов на микрофлюидных чипах. Их применение обещает сокращение времени анализа, относительно небольшую его стоимость, компактность приборов, очень малый расход реагентов и др. Эти методы уже находят применение в исследованиях. Эта к…
The second edition of the highly acclaimed Wind Power in Power Systems has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latest challenges associated with increasing wind power penetration levels. Since its first release, practical experiences with high wind power penetration levels have significantly increased. This book presents an overview of the lessons learned in integrating wind power …
Building on the first edition published in 1995 this new edition of Kinematic Geometry of Gearing has been extensively revised and updated with new and original material. This includes the methodology for general tooth forms, radius of torsure’, cylinder of osculation, and cylindroid of torsure; the author has also completely reworked the ‘3 laws of gearing’, the first law re-written to better par…
