Our goal in writing this book was to discuss the ‘‘electrical side’’ of alternative energy sources. From the beginning, we felt that this approach would be a challenge that would be very difficult to fulfill. Most of the current technical work explores just one or two types of alternative energy sources, but the integration...
Job search and career management become remarkably more complex and more
competitive with each passing year. One major contributor to the new complexity
is technology itself, which has created entirely new methods and systems for job

algorithms for semi-structured...
Reaction-diffusion and excitable media are amongst most intriguing substrates. Despite apparent simplicity of the physical processes involved the media exhibit a wide range of amazing patterns: from target and spiral waves to travelling localisations and stationary breathing patterns. These media are at the heart of most natural processes,...
