This title covers topics that are of increasing importance in engineering practice: natural hazards, pollution and environmental protection through good practice. The first part of the book deals with natural risk factors, of both natural and human origin, that should be borne in mind.

This book provides a detailed introduction to the production and function of OLED microdisplays, which are microscopic displays of organic materials that contain LED in each pixel. Taking a holistic approach to the analysis, the title reviews basic principles, display design, display fabrication, operation and performances, and applications.

Spatio-temporal Approaches presents a well-built set of concepts, methods and approaches, in order to represent and understand the evolution of social and environmental phenomena within the space.

A vital part of maintaining Internet security, Border Gateway Protocol struggles with its own security hiccups and vulnerability to attack. This book addresses the issues of inter-domain security and analyzes the research developments that work to improve the current BGP system.

Embedded systems become more and more complex and require having some knowledge in various disciplines such as electronics, data processing, telecommunications and networks.

Part 1 is particularly concerned with physical properties, electrical ageing and modeling with topics such as the physics of charged dielectric materials, conduction mechanisms, dielectric relaxation, space charge, electric ageing and life end models and dielectric experimental characterization.

Formal methods are mathematically-based techniques and provide a clean framework in which to express requirements and models of the systems, taking into account discrete, stochastic and continuous (timed or hybrid) parameters with increasingly efficient tools.

This book reviews the state of art in the field of chemical sensors for analyses of ionic or molecular species dissolved in liquid media, mainly in aqueous solutions. The transduction of such devices is based on chemical, biological and physical phenomena.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical and algorithmic methods for the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) of complex mechanical systems such as aircraft or car engines.

This title is dedicated to energy storage, low emission technologies and energy management, with discussions on the future of nuclear energy, combined heat and power, using hydrogen as an energy vector and fuel cells, as well as chapters on energy saving and control of the demand for power.

This volume contains contributions from speakers at the 4th International Symposium on Finite Volumes for Complex Applications, held in Marrakech, Morocco, in July 2005. The subject of these papers ranges from theoretical and numerical results to physical applications.

Micro and nanosystems represent a major scientific and technological challenge, with actual and potential applications in almost all fields of the human activity.

Sonar and Underwater Acoustics brings together all the concepts necessary for designers and users of sonar systems. Unlike other books on this subject, which are often too specialized, this book is accessible to a wider audience. The first part focuses on the acoustic environment, antenna structures, and electric acoustic interface.

* Illustrated by tutorials and laboratory models, it is accessible to users of non-specialists in the fields of design and manufacturing. * Chapters can be viewed independently of each other. * Focuses on technical geometric and dimensional tolerances as well as mechanical testing and quality control.

Scientific and technical knowledge for measurements in modern electromagnetism must be vast as our electromagnetic environment covers all frequencies and wavelengths. These measurements must be applied to fields as varied as nanotechnologies, telecommunications, meteorology, geolocalization, radioastronomy, health, biology, etc.

This book includes two parts. The first part is more theoretical and general, and it covers fundamental principles: geospatial climate data measurement; spatial analysis, mapping and climate; geographical information, remote sensing and climatology; and geographical information for initialisation of forecasting and climate models.

* Gives the reader a complete but comprehensive presentation of the foundations of convex analysis and presents applications to significant situations in engineering. * The presentation of the theory is self-contained and the proof of all the essential results is given.

This book describes the various devices used in radio communication and broadcasting to achieve high selectivity filtering and coupling.

The concept of an inverse problem is a familiar one to most scientists and engineers, particularly in the field of signal and image processing, imaging systems (medical, geophysical, industrial non-destructive testing, etc. ) and computer vision.

* Establishes general equations of electromechanical energyconversion first and then applies them to synchronous,induction, and DC machines. The characteristics are established aswell for steady state behavior as for variable speed. * Shows new applications (wind mills, electric propulsion of bigships,.).

With regard to the problems identified by many researchers relating to the storage and processing of (semi-)structured digital data, accessibility and sharing, intellectual property, digital documents, information retrieval, information literacy, the relevance of information, information profiles of users, etc.

* Part 1: "Systems of systems: concepts and practical illustrations" is a multidisciplinary work on the concept of the "systems-of-systems" * It provides key answers as to what a system of systems is and how its complexity can be mastered.

This series in three volumes considers maps as constructions resulting from a number of successive transformations and stages integrated in a logical reasoning and an order of choices. * Volume 1 introduces the basis of thematic cartography; the map is regarded as a construct due to transformation processes.

The governance of seas and oceans, defined as all forms of social participation in decision-making on the marine environment, is here mainly from a legal perspective view with the Law of the Sea as a determinant. The book presents the main aspects of maritime law and the history of its construction.
