Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a cutting-edge look at multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing, namely its detection and precoding. It examines its combination with OFDM, UWB, and CDMA, along with the impact of these combinations at the system level. Massive MIMO and network coding at the physical layer are very recent topics which are also addressed. The book presents the work of contributing authors from first-class institutions who are highly cited in the MIMO field. These experts examine ongoing R&D activities in the field of MIMO systems and its associated signal processing that is expected to be employed in 4G and 5G systems.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nanomaterials have the potential to contribute to more sustainable manufacturing through cleaner, less wasteful production processes and can substitute conventional materials, leading to savings in raw materials and energy. This book provides an innovative perspective by establishing connections between the subject areas associated with nanotechnology and by bridging academic and industrial research. It also covers methods for assessing the sustainability of nanotechnology-based products and processes using life-cycle analysis, taking into account material and energy consumption during manufacture, use, and final disposal and/or recycling.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book aids concrete producers in improving the quality of ready mixed concrete. It quantifies the benefits of improved quality in terms of cost savings, increased efficiency and consistency, and sustainability. It shows the relation between concrete quality and concrete strength variability, and discusses the components of variability and how one could methodically relate component changes to variability in concrete strength and other properties. It also recommends specific steps that producers might take to reduce component variability and achieve a more consistent product.

This book presents chapters written by leading researchers, academics, and practitioners in the field, all of which have been reviewed by independent reviewers. The book covers the latest research discoveries and applications. Coverage includes cloud data management architectures, Big Data analytics visualization, data management, analytics for vast amounts of unstructured data, clustering, classification, link analysis of big data, scalable data mining, and machine learning techniques.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the human factors issues in contemporary global society, with a focus on engineering, technology, business, science, and education from a system of systems viewpoint. It examines the human aspects related to contemporary societal developments in science, engineering, and higher education in the context of unprecedented progress in those areas. The book also discusses new paradigms for higher education, including education delivery, and administration in the coming of the Conceptual Age.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the early wave-particle arguments to the mathematical theory of electromagnetism to Einstein's work on the quantization of light, different descriptions of what constitutes light have existed for over 300 years. This book examines the photon phenomenon from several perspectives. It demonstrates the importance of studying the photon as a concept belonging to a global vacuum (matter-free space). The book explains the models and physical and mathematical descriptions of light and examines the behavior of light and its interaction with matter.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Interest in carnitine and its potential health benefits has surged over the last decade. Carnitine serves a number of biological roles, such as stimulating the oxidation of fat and preventing the accumulation of lactic acid. It is also used as a supplement for weight loss and performance enhancement. This book discusses the functions carnitine fulfills in human biology, with specific emphasis on its roles in skeletal muscle metabolism. It covers carnitine homeostasis and transport, the renal handling of carnitine, and applications of carnitine in human nutrition.
