Lung Mechanics: An Inverse Modeling Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2009

With mathematical and computational models furthering our understanding of lung mechanics, function and disease, this book provides an all-inclusive introduction to the topic from a quantitative standpoint. Focusing on inverse modeling, the reader is guided through the theory in a logical progression, from the simplest models up to state-of-the-art...

The E-Learning Fieldbook: Implementation Lessons and Case Studies from Companies that are Making e-Learning Work

McGraw-Hill, 2004

The first wave of e-learning implementation is over, and companies are now assessing the reality of what works and what doesn’t. Even though e-learning has proven to be credible as a global approach to education for both people and enterprises, a number of issues that must be addressed in order to take e-learning to the next level....

Access to Knowledge in the Age of Intellectual Property

Zone Books, 2010

At the end of the twentieth century, intellectual property rights collided with everyday life. Expansive copyright laws and digital rights management technologies sought to shut down new forms of copying and remixing made possible by the Internet. International laws expanding patent rights threatened the lives of millions of people around the...

Ultra-Fast Fiber Lasers: Principles and Applications with MATLAB® Models (Optics and Photonics)

CRC Press, 2010

Ultrashort pulses in mode-locked lasers are receiving focused attention from researchers looking to apply them in a variety of fields, from optical clock technology to measurements of the fundamental constants of nature and ultrahigh-speed optical communications. Ultrashort pulses are especially important for the next generation of...

Wired for Innovation: How Information Technology is Reshaping the Economy

MIT Press, 2009

A wave of business innovation is driving the productivity resurgence in the U.S. economy. In Wired for Innovation, Erik Brynjolfsson and Adam Saunders describe how information technology directly or indirectly created this productivity explosion, reversing decades of slow growth. They argue that the companies with the highest level of...

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home: Systems Technologies and Deployment Strategies

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Broadband Optical Access and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) will provide the ultimate broadband service capabilities.

Compared with the currently well-deployed broadband access technologies of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and Cable Modems, optical broadband access with Fiber-to-the-User’s home will cater for...

Solid-State Mid-Infrared Laser Sources (Topics in Applied Physics)

Springer, 2003

According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the "middle infrared" region covers the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400 and 4000 wave numbers, which corresponds to the wavelength range 2.5-25 gin. This range is of particular interest for many applications, especially for spectroscopy, since the electromagnetic frequencies...

Relativity: Special, General, and Cosmological

Oxford University Press, 2006

Relativistic cosmology has in recent years become one of the most exciting and active branches of current research. In conference after conference the view is expressed that cosmology today is where particle physics was forty years ago, with major discoveries just waiting to happen. Also gravitational wave detectors, presently under...

MEMS-based Circuits and Systems for Wireless Communication (Integrated Circuits and Systems)

Springer, 2012

Over many years, RF-MEMS have been a hot topic in research at the technology and device level. In particular, various kinds of mechanical Si-MEMS resonators and piezoelectric BAW (bulk acoustic wave) resonators have been developed. The BAW technology has made its way to commercial products for passive RF filters, in particular...

Propellants and Explosives: Thermochemical Aspects of Combustion

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Explosives and propellants contain considerable chemical energy that can be converted into rapid expansion. In contrast to the simple burning of a fuel, explosives and propellants are self-contained and do not need an external supply of oxygen via air. Since their energy content inherently creates the risk of accidental triggering of the...

Guided Waves in Structures for SHM: The Time - domain Spectral Element Method

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Understanding and analysing the complex phenomena related to elastic wave propagation has been the subject of intense research for many years and has enabled application in numerous fields of technology, including structural health monitoring (SHM). In the course of the rapid advancement of diagnostic methods utilising elastic wave...
