Overview: Results of recent satellite missions applying novel technology, new methodology in satellite gravimetry.Monitoring and analysis of Earth system processes from space with unprecedented resolution and aOur planet is currently experiencing substantial changes due to natural phen- ena and direct or indirect human interactions. Observations from space are the only means to monitor and quantify these changes on a global and long-term p- spective. Continuous time series of a large set of Earth system parameters are needed in order to better understand the processes causing these changes, as

Overview: Grundlagen und AnwendungenUm Tribosysteme zeit- und kostengünstig auslegen zu können, wird die Simulation künftig einen immer höheren Stellenwert einnehmen. ..Dirk Bartel erläutert wichtige theoretische Grundlagen zur Simulation von geschmierten und trockenlaufenden Tribosystemen. Es werden Themen wie Hydrodynamik und Elastohydrodynamik, einschließlich Kavitation, der Einfluss rauer Oberflächen auf den Festkörperkontakt, die Werkstoffbeanspruchung und die Mikrohydrodynamik, die Berechnung von Festkörper-, Misch- und Flüssigkeitsreibung und der Temperaturen im Fluid und in den Reibkör

Overview: Shallow Gas determination, prior to drilling, is carried out using ‘Engineering Seismic‘ survey methods. Seismic acquisition data quality is fundamental in achieving this objective as both the data processing methods and interpretation accuracy are subject to the quality of the data obtained. The recent application of workstation based data analysis and interpretation has clearly demonstrated the importance of acquisition data quality on the ability to determine the risks of gas with a high level of confidence. The following pages summarise the 5 primary issues that influence acquisi

Overview: Addresses substrate noise coupling in RF and mixed signal ICs when used in a system on chip(SoC) containing digital ICs as well.Great reference for courses in RFIC and mixed signal ICs, and for designSubstrate noise coupling in integrated circuits (ICs) is the process by which int- ference signals in the form of voltage and current glitches cause parasitic currents to ?ow in the silicon substrate to various parts of the IC. The source of such glitches and parasitic currents could be from the switching noise of high speed digital clocks on the same chip. In RF and mixed signal ICs the

Overview: In the second edition, two new subsections devoted to the Kalman filter under wrong initial conditions, and a new chapter on asymptotically optimal filtering under diffusion approximation have been adAt the end of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, when the Russian version of this book was written, the ‘general theory of random processes‘ did not operate widely with such notions as semimartingale, stochastic integral with respect to semimartingale, the ItO formula for semimartingales, etc. At that time in stochastic calculus (theory of martingales), the main object was the square inte

Overview: Features include:.A review of silicon and junction properties.High-voltage devices, DE CMOS, LDMOS.Passive components: precisions resistors, capacitors, varactors, inductors.Component mismatch and noi.This book covers modern analog components, their characteristics, and interactions with process parameters. It serves as a comprehensive guide, addressing both the theoretical and practical aspects of modern silicon devices and the relationship between their electrical properties and processing conditions. Based on the authors’ extensive experience in the development of analog devices,

Overview: The pervasive influence of law on medical practice and clinical bioethics is often noted with a combination of exasperation and lamentation. Physicians and non-physician bioethicists, generally speaking, consider the willingness of courts, legislatures, and regulatory agencies to insinuate themselves into clinical practice and medical research to be a distinctly negative aspect of contemporary American society. They are quick to point out that their colleagues in other Western developed nations are not similarly afflicted, and that the situation which obtains elsewhere is highly pref

Overview: .As well as conveying a message in words and sounds, the speech signal carries information about the speaker‘s own anatomy, physiology, linguistic experience and mental state. These speaker characteristics are found in speech at all levels of description: from the spectral information in the sounds to the choice of words and utterances themselves...This two volume set, LNAI 4343 and LNAI 4441, constitutes a state-of-the-art survey for the field of speaker classification. It approaches the following questions: What characteristics of the speaker become manifest in his or her voice and
