The book starts by covering the basics of thermodynamics and its applications in atmospheric science. The later chapters describe major applications, specific to more specialized areas of atmospheric physics, including vertical structure and stability, cloud formation, and radiative processes. The book concludes with a discussion of non-equilibrium thermodynamics as applied to the atmosphere.

This volume features 16 essays on the philosophy of technology that discuss its identity, its position in philosophy in general, and the role of empirical studies in philosophical analyses of engineering ethics and engineering practices.

This volume is published about fifteen years after Peter Kroes and Anthonie Meijers published a collection of papers under the title The empirical turn in the philosophy of technology, in which they called for a reorientation toward the practice of engineering, and sketched the likely benefits for philosophy of technology of pursuing its major...

Malerische Kleinstadt - oder Schauplatz eines ungeheuren Verbrechens?
Ein Vermisstenfall in Zeeland, das gehört eigentlich nicht in den Zuständigkeitsbereich von Liv de Vries, Hoofdinspecteur der Landespolizei. Trotzdem folgt sie der Bitte ihres Vorgesetzten, der sie mit der Ermittlung in Veere nach einem missglückten Einsatz aus der Schusslinie nehmen will. Doch das Verschwinden des Kochs Rob van Loon ist weit mehr als ein Vermisstenfall. Er führt Liv zurück in die Vergangenheit - zu Esmée, einem Mädchen mit surinamischen Wurzeln, das vor vielen Jahren ebenfalls...

This book presents the cross-layer design and optimization of wake-up receivers for wireless body area networks (WBAN), with an emphasis on low-power circuit design. This includes the analysis of medium access control (MAC) protocols, mixer-first receiver design, and implications of receiver impairments on wideband frequency-shift-keying (FSK) receivers. Readers will learn how the overall power consumption is reduced by exploiting the characteristics of body area networks. Theoretical models presented are validated with two different receiver implementations, in 90nm and 40nm CMOS...
