Remember the olden days?
I vaguely remember this odd box called a computer gradually conquering corners of my living room and bedroom. Can you recall those times? We would "use a computer" for some specific tasks, such as writing a letter.
The term computer was quite popular back then. Now, the word is no... | | The Physics of RugbyThis book began three decades ago, on a cold Saturday morning in early September. That was when I pulled on for the first time the scarlet jersey of Icknield, a high school named for a fierce tribe of Britons, the Iceni, who under their warrior queen Boadicea inflicted several heavy defeats upon the Romans.

solely identifying San Francisco and Los Angeles
with earthquakes. No, this is about the city itself. See,
there’s this group of residents whom locals call the “never
lefts.” They are the people who... | | Electromagnetic Wave Scattering from Random Rough Surfaces: Asymptotic Models
Electromagnetic wave scattering from random rough surfaces is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields such as optics, acoustics, geoscience and remote sensing.
Focusing on the case of random rough surfaces, this book presents classical asymptotic models used to describe... | | Air and Spaceborne Radar Systems (Radar, Sonar, Navigation and Avionics)
The history of airborne radar is almost as old as that of radar itself. The improvement in detection range provided by an airborne platform was realised early during the Second World War, and the development of the cavity magnetron at almost the same time allowed higher radar frequencies and, hence, directive antennas to be used. Nowadays,... |
