Intermetallic compounds can be simply defined as ordered alloy phases formed between two or more metallic elements. These materials have different crystal structures from those of the constituent metallic components and exhibit as long-range ordered superlattices. Their relatively low density, high melting point, high specific strength and due ductility make them the promising high temperature structural materials for aviation and aerospace ap...

Elliptische Koordinaten und Wellenfunktionen treten zum Beispiel bei der Analyse und beim Design von Antennenanlagen und integrierten Mikrowellenschaltkreisen, bei der elektromagnetischen Interferenz und in der drahtlosen Kommunikation auf. Mit diesem Buch liegt erstmals eine moderne Abhandlung über dieses Gebiet vor, ergänzt durch computergestützte Berechnungen. Die beigefügte Mathematica-Software dient zur Berechnung elliptischer Funktionen.

Next generation wireless and mobile communication systems are rapidly evolving to satisfy the demands of various network users. Due to the great success and enormous impact of IP networks, high-speed transmission is now possible for both indoor and outdoor wireless systems, internet access and web browsing have become the ruling paradigm for next generation system. It is envisioned that new generation wireless networks and hand-held terminals ...

Computer networks need novel communication theory for transmitting data from sources to destinations within a predetermined restrict period of time according to a given quality of service (QoS). This book provides an analysis of min-plus algebra that is applied to network calculus in computer networks. The key contribution of this book is to discuss the analytical expressions of identity in min-plus algebra. Overall, this book can be used as a...

Next generation wireless and mobile communication systems have two important features: heterogeneity and adaptation. Heterogeneous wireless communication platforms require inter-operability among different networks such as wireless cellular networks, wireless local area networks, wireless personal area networks, internet, etc. Adaptation techniques become extremely important in such a heterogeneous environment so that quality management and pr...

This book presents the latest research on the software crowdsourcing approach to develop large and complex software in a cloud-based platform. It develops the fundamental principles, management organization and processes, and a cloud-based infrastructure to support this new software development approach. The book examines a variety of issues in software crowdsourcing processes, including software quality, costs, diversity of solutions, and the...

Multiscale modeling is becoming essential for accurate, rapid simulation in science and engineering. This book presents the results of three decades of research on multiscale modeling in process engineering from principles to application, and its generalization for different fields. This book considers the universality of meso-scale phenomena for the first time, and provides insight into the emerging discipline that unifies them, meso-science,...

From Urban Enclave to Ethnic Suburb focuses on the migration, settlement, and adaptation of Chinese and other Asian immigrants and their impacts on the transformation of metropolitan areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These stories of the interactivity of Asian "people and place" in four nation-states are framed within the larger context of spatial and social patterns, migration, acculturation/assimilation, and rac...

Recently, there have been major innovations and paradigm shifts in product design methodologies and systems. The current R&D, trend is the development of collaborative design and manufacturing methodologies and systems. Using a collaborative product development system, designers can participate in global design chains and collaborate with each other and overseas partners to pursue competitive advantages. It also allows designers to work closel...

This book principally covers the latest development of research on microfungi from both systematic and practical aspects. Microfungi are in our daily life, but we normally do not realize their presence. Without microfungi we would not be able to enjoy our baked food, fermented food, preserved food, alcoholic beverages, and access to some modern medication, such as penicillin and cyclosporine, which are secondary metabolites of microfungi. Rece...

This book offers a systematic investigation of the ecological and environmental issues related to the land cover changes in Nepal by researchers from both China and Nepal. It discusses the eco-environmental issues faced by Nepal, particularly in the hills and mountain regions. It also sheds light on the global concerns regarding the eco-environment issues of mountains, and analyzes the various causes and potential consequences of eco-environme...

This thesis presents the preparation and characterization of spiropyran-functional paper. Such paper was prepared by dip-coating and benzophenone photocrosslinking strategies. The modified paper shows an obvious chromatic response to UV light and metal ions, which can be applied as colorimetric sensors. Meanwhile, the first proof-of-concept application of the modified paper for the control of capillary-driven transportation of water in paper-b...

China's early industrialization (1865-1895) is of great importance to theories of economic development. This book examines why China's industrialization was slow compared to contemporary Japan's. The author argues that China's tardy economic development was due to ineffective government leadership. He further explores why the Chinese government did not lead China's economic development effectively. The Manchu question-Manchu rule of Q...

This book provides cardiologists with access to the wealth of imaging from the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and Lung Institute in London to enable them to improve on their own skills and refine their imaging technique. The authors correlate this echocardiography experience with the pathological and surgical aspects of congenital heart defects. They include a review of the pathologic, physiologic and surgical observations of diffe...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th Asia Information Retrieval Symposium, AIRS 2008, held in Harbin, China, in May 2008. The 39 revised full papers and 43 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 144 submissions. All current issues in information retrieval are addressed: applications, systems, technologies and theoretical aspects of information retrieval in text,...
