The redshifted 21-cm signal is set to transform astrophysical cosmology, bringing a historically data-starved field into the era of Big Data. Corresponding to the spin-flip transition of neutral hydrogen, the 21-cm line is sensitive to the temperature and ionization state of the cosmic gas, as well as to cosmological parameters. Crucially, with the development of new interferometers it will allow us to map out the first billion years of our Universe, enabling us to learn about the properties of the unseen first generations of galaxies. Rapid progress is being made on both the observational and theoretical fronts, and important decisions on techniques and future direction are being made. The Cosmic 21-cm Revolution gathers contributions from current leaders in this fast-moving field, providing both an overview for graduate students and a reference point for current researchers.

The essays in this book aims to map the nature and extent of the societal impacts of Big Science and the mechanisms that generate such effects, as well as highlight the complex realities that can be used as guidelines to fund Big Science facilities, and how we can maximise their impact. As science itself has become a subject of study and debate beyond the scientific community, these collected essays aim to encourage a dialogue with relevant stakeholders (such as scientists, policymakers, research managers and industry) and highlight the complex role that science plays in today's society.Key Features: A single reference volume comprising a multitude of perspectives on the socioeconomic impacts of Big Science.Our author list comprises globally renowned expert authors with a wealth of domain knowledge and direct experience of Big Science facilities.Coverage emphasises transferability of best practice/lessons learned from Big Science organisations. The aim is to inspire research managers as well as communications and outreach officers of other Big Science projects.The text is relevant for policy experts, employees of funding agencies and professional science communicators.

This book covers the state-of-the-art techniques of OCT imaging for the diagnosis of retinal diseases. It is part of a three-volume work that describes the latest imaging techniques in which to bring optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus Imaging and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to accurately facilitate the diagnosis of retinal diseases. Clinical disorders of the retina have been attracting the attention of researchers, aiming at reducing the blindness rate. This includes uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, endophthalmitis, proliferative retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. Treatment is significantly dependent on having early and accurate diagnosis, which can be significantly improved by employing the techniques described in the book.Key Features: The book is a collection of the works of several research groups that are well-known in the field, so the readers can refer to their websites if they need extra details.Provides a comprehensive overview of all pertinent topics related to OCT imaging techniques, applicable to diagnosis of eye disorders.Offers a unique coverage of Neural Networks in distinguishing eye diseases.Machine learning techniques are presented in detail throughout.Many of the chapter contributors are world-class researchers.Extensive references are provided at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.

This book provides an overview of quantum light phenomena and extends the traditional Quantum Optics, to include quantum fluids of light and the complete electromagnetic vacuum. A key aim of the book is to bridge the distinct aspects of research into the quantum states of light.

This book is the result of an exhaustive review of the general algorithms used for noise reduction using two general application criteria: one-input, one-output systems, and two-input, one-output systems. The text describes theoretically and experimentally the processes related to high-order statistical analysis algorithms, as well as its practical combination with the convolutional analysis. On the other hand, the results of applications in real telecommunications signals, sensing of variables and biosignals such as human tremor are also shown. The reader will benefit from both the theoretical foundations described in the book, and the practical examples including generic codes of all the functions described and modifiable for use in different applications.This book is an ideal text for engineers, graduate students and scientists involved with noise reduction and signal processing.Key Features: Emphasis on noise reduction techniquesAccompanying codesInteractive elementsPractical approach
