An Introduction To The Theory Of Spatial Object Modelling For GIS (Research Monographs in GIS)

CRC Press, 1998

In 1983 I left the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and went to Wageningen Agricultural University, where I took the chair of “Land Surveying and Teledetection”. Up to that time I had been active mainly in geodesy and photogrammetry, but at Wageningen it soon became...

Onboard Computers, Onboard Software and Satellite Operations: An Introduction (Springer Aerospace Technology)

Springer, 2011

The development of satellites is always driven by their applications, so the payload and its satellite infrastructure can fulfill all envisioned tasks and sometimes this is under great autonomy. The brain of the satellite is the Onboard Computer with the Onboard Software providing functions, procedures and services in preparation for the...

Manufacturing Processes for Advanced Composites

Elsevier Limited, 2004

This book deals is intended for anyone wishing to learn more about the materials and manufacturing processes used to fabricate and assemble advanced composites. Although advanced composites can mean many different types of fibers in either polymer, metal or ceramic matrices, this book deals with the three main fibers (glass,...

Carbon-Carbon Materials and Composites

William Andrew Publishing, 1994

Carbon-carbon composites, which have been used extensively for missile applications, were a part of NASA's Apollo spacecraft heat shield system. The development of carbon-carbon materials began in 1958 and was nurtured under the U.S. Air Force space plane program, Dyna-Soar, and by numerous thermal protection systems...

A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language

Morgan Kaufmann, 2008

Systems engineering is a multidisciplinary approach for developing solutions to complex problems. The increase in system complexity is demanding more rigorous and formalized systems engineering practices. In response to this demand, along with advancements in computer technology, the practice of systems engineering is...

Ceramic Matrix Composites: Fiber Reinforced Ceramics and their Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a relatively new class of quasiductile ceramic materials. They are characterized by carbon or ceramic fi bers embedded in ceramic matrices (oxide or non - oxide) with comparatively low bonding forces between the fi bers and the matrix. These weak intefaces, in combination with a porous...

Mechatronic Systems: Analysis, Design and Implementation

Springer, 2011

Nowadays most of the systems are computer controlled among them we quote mechatronic systems where the intelligence is implemented in microcontrollers. The discipline that deals with such systems is mechatronics that we define as the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software...

Travel Medicine: Tales Behind the Science (Advances in Tourism Research)

Routledge, 2007

Travel to exotic places is fascinating, and equally so are infections and other dangers of exotic travel. Moreover, one need not be traveling to suffer these maladies; sometimes they travel to you. The enormous global mobility demands a public health response. The result is the concept of ‘travel medicine’ as a separate...

Plasma Processes and Polymers: 16th International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry Taormina, Italy June 22-27, 2003

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

At the 16th International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry (ISPC-16) in Taormina, which took place in June 2003, we launched the idea to edit a new journal, named Plasma Processes and Polymers, and published by Wiley-VCH. The purpose was to collect under the same cover the great majority of articles dealing with plasma processing of...
