The potential of chaos engineering is recognized worldwide, with research groups actively pursuing the advantages of chaotic phenomena in cryptography, spread spectrum communication, electromagnetic interference reduction, and many other applications. This volume presents the exploitation of chaos in digital communication applications. Each chapter offers a formal exposition of the theoretical tools, followed by discussion of the algorithms and circuits needed to apply the theory to real-world communications systems. Information is organized according to level of abstraction, from coding...

The proceedings of the international conference held in honor of Lodewijk Woltjer, focus on the physics, origin and space distribution of AGNs and quasars and their relationship to the environment, a very wide subject which has attracted much of Lodewijk Wolter's research interest. A number of lectures were also dedicated to reviewing the recent observational advances and those that may be attained by the introduction of new and powerful astronomical instrumentation both from the ground and from space, in recognition of the central role played by L. Woltjer in the promotion of the ESO VLT and...
