 Real-Time Embedded Multithreading Using ThreadX and MIPSEmbedded systems are ubiquitous. These systems are found in most consumer electronics, automotive, government, military, communications, and medical equipment. Most individuals in developed countries have many such systems and use them daily, but relatively few people realize that these systems actually contain embedded computer systems. Although... |  | Principles and Models of Biological TransportTransport processes are ubiquitous in the living organism, underlying nerve conduction and muscle contraction, digestion, kidney function and the nourishment of every cell in the body. The mechanisms by which these processes take place, and the models that describe them, are the subject of Principles and Models of Biological Transport,... | | Fires in Silos: Hazards, Prevention, and Fire FightingStorage of chemicals in silos is ubiquitous in the chemical, pharmaceutical and other producing industries, and some 80 % of all bulk materials are inflammable. It is here that the risk of large fires arises due to self-ignition or the intrusion of different ignition sources. For firefighters, most silo fires are very difficult to handle due to the... |
