Overview: Ceramic products are fabricated from selected and consolidated raw materials through the application of thermal and mechanical energy. The complex connec­ tions between thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, fabrication processes, phase development, and ceramic properties define the undergraduate curriculum in Ceramic Science and Ceramic Engineering. Phase diagrams are usually introduced into the engineering curriculum during the study of physical chemistry, prior to specialization into ceramic engineering. This creates an artificial separation between consideration of the equilibrium

Overview: Introduces the principles and applications of relaxation estimation methods for the first time.Provides a unified solution based on simple FFT calculations for classical high-resolution parameter estiThe multiple signal demixing and parameter estimation problems that result from the impacts of background noise and interference are issues that are frequently encountered in the fields of radar, sonar, communications, and navigation. Research in the signal processing and control fields has always focused on improving the estimation performance of parameter estimation methods at low SNR

Overview: Das Downloaden und Kopieren von Spielfilmen hat sich innerhalb von wenigen Jahren zu einem weltweiten Massenphänomen entwickelt. Filmpiraterie ist so zu einer zentralen Herausforderung für die Filmindustrie geworden. Trotz seiner hohen Relevanz ist das Phänomen bislang jedoch nur unzureichend erforscht, so fehlen insbesondere Erkenntnisse zu den Gründen für nicht-gewerbliche Filmpiraterie...Nikolai Dördrechter betrachtet das Thema Filmpiraterie umfassend aus inhaltlicher, technologischer und rechtlicher Sicht. Kern seiner Arbeit ist eine empirische Untersuchung der nichtgewerblichen

Overview: Most organisations try to protect their systems from unauthorised access, usually through passwords. Considerable resources are spent designing secure authentication mechanisms, but the number of security breaches and problems is still increasing (DeAlvare, 1990; Gordon, 1995; Hitchings, 1995). Unauthorised access to systems, and resulting theft of information or misuse of the system, is usually due to hackers "cracking" user passwords, or obtaining them through social engineering. System security, unlike other fields of system development, has to date been regarded as an entirely te

Overview: This book explores the political significance of formal experimentation in American poetry written during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. It focuses on the use of procedural forms, which involve the invention of rules or methods designed to structure the production of a poem‘s content.978-1-349-38382-5978-0-230-10610-9Series ISSN 2634-6052 Series E-ISSN 2634-6060

Overview: The study of plant development in recent years has often been concerned with the effects of the environment and the possible involvement of growth substances. The prevalent belief that plant growth substances are crucial to plant development has tended to obscure rather than to clarify the underlying cellular mechanisms of development. The aim in this book is to try to focus on what is currently known, and what needs to be known, in order to explain plant development in terms that allow further experimentation at the cellular and molecular levels. We need to know where and at what le
