Saudi Arabia is one of the most controversial and least known of the Arab nations. A land of massive contrasts – between its densely populated cities and its vast expanses of desert; between the recent poverty of its villages and the massive wealth created by oil, which is drawing a labour force...

This comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications provides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results. With an approach that balances the introduction of new models and new coding techniques, readers are guided through Shannon's point-to-point information...

This work seeks to provide a solid foundation to the principles and practices of dynamics and stability assessment of large-scale power systems, focusing on the use of interconnected systems - and aiming to meet the requirements of today's competitive and deregulated environments. It contains easy-to-follow examples of fundamental concepts and algorithmic procedures.

Closed Loop Neuroscience addresses the technical aspects of closed loop neurophysiology, presenting the implementation of these approaches spanning several domains of neuroscience, from cellular and network neurophysiology, through sensory and motor systems, and then clinical therapeutic devices. Although...

Faults are a concern for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) designers, especially if the MAS are built for industrial or military use because there must be some guarantee of dependability. Some fault classification exists for classical systems, and is used to define faults. When dependability is at stake,...

In this book, the authors present in detail several recent methodologies and algorithms that we have developed during the last fifteen years. The deterministic methods account for uncertainties through empirical safety factors, which implies that the actual uncertainties in materials, geometry and...

This book deals with the various aspects of stochastic dynamics, the resolution of large mechanical systems, and inverse problems. It integrates the most recent ideas from research and industry in the field of stochastic dynamics and optimization in structural mechanics over 11 chapters. These chapters...

This book describes the methods used to detect material defects at the nanoscale. The authors present different theories, polarization states and interactions of light with matter, in particular optical techniques using polarized light. Combining experimental techniques of polarized light analysis...

Manufacturing industries strive to improve the quality and reliability of their products, while simultaneously reducing production costs. To do this, modernized work tools must be produced; this will enable a reduction in the duration of the product development cycle, optimization of product development...

This book describes in detail the impact of process variations on Network-on-Chip (NoC) performance. The authors evaluate various NoC topologies under high process variation and explain the design of efficient NoCs, with advanced technologies. The discussion includes variation in logic and interconnect,...

International migration has been subject to many studies, conducted by academics, students, policy makers, and in civil society. As the migration flows continue to increase amongst countries, new dynamics shape international politics, economy, and culture. In this context, the main purpose of this...

Einstein said that we cannot solve todays problems with the same thinking that created them. This book starts a conversation and gives some possible tools to help create innovative solutions. Borrowing from the insights of modern science and common sense, Harmonization hopes to start a conversation to solve complex problems.

Cuori ribelli, fragili, in burrasca, in risacca, personalità complesse e spigolose, narcise, intolleranti, inadeguate, arrendevoli a tratti e, a tratti, ostinatamente determinate animano le pagine di Saudade, romanzo sperimentale di un’autrice non nuova nel panorama editoriale contemporaneo. Una...

Disteso, con le mani tra le ginocchia, fissava con gli occhi persi le mani sporche di terra dei soccorritori. La vita è una successione di attimi infiniti, alcuni sono decisivi, determinanti. Che cosa è e può diventare un singolo attimo? Amore o dolore. Troppo amore che sfocia nel dolore più atroce....
