This text examines the developments in aviation as it relates to instruments, radio navigation and communication. Beginning with the traditional systems and then examining the latest developments and technologies likely to emerge in the future. The author presents the topics in the order of instruments, radio propagation, communication, radio navigation, inertial navigation, and autopilot control. The book is meant to teach undergraduate students who study aerospace engineering on aviation topics such as radio and inertial navigation, communication, and autopilot control.

Nanomagnetism: Fundamentals and Applications is a complete guide to the theory and practical applications of magnetism at the nanometer scale. It covers a wide range of potential applications including materials science, medicine, and the environment. A tutorial covers the special magnetic properties of nanoscale systems in various environments, from free clusters to nanostructured materials. Subsequent chapters focus on the current state of research in theory and experiment in specific areas, and also include applications of nanoscale systems to synthesizing high-performance materials...

The book presents nanoscience and nanotechnology to a broad audience that does not necessarily have a scientific background. This book starts with the fundamental physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and nanostructures, and discusses how these special properties can be manipulated to produce high-performance materials and devices. In the following chapters, the scope is broadened to cover naturally occurring nanoparticles and artificially-engineered carbon nanoparticles, their mechanical properties, and their importance to the rest of nanotechnology. The book also covers the two design...
