This book presents selected papers of the Itzhack Y. Bar-Itzhack Memorial Sympo-
sium on Estimation, Navigation, and Spacecraft Control. Itzhack Y. Bar-Itzhack,
professor Emeritus of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion Israel Institute of
Technology, was a prominent and world-renowned member of the applied estimation,
navigation, and spacecraft attitude determination communities. He touched the lives
of many. He had a love for life, an incredible sense of humor, and wisdom that he shared
freely with everyone he met. To honor Professor Bar-Itzhack's memory, as well as...

This book is an updated version of the information theory classic, first published in 1990. About one-third of the book is devoted to Shannon source and channel coding theorems; the remainder addresses sources, channels, and codes and on information and distortion measures and their properties.

New in this edition:

• Expanded treatment of stationary or sliding-block codes and their relations to traditional block codes
• Expanded discussion of results from ergodic theory relevant to information theory
• Expanded treatment of B-processes -- processes formed by...

How can one trust computation taking place at a remote site, particularly if a party at that site might have motivation to subvert this trust? In recent years, industrial efforts have advanced the notion of a "trusted computing platform" as a building block. Through a conspiracy of hardware and software magic, these platforms attempt to solve this remote trust problem, to preserve various critical properties against various types of adversaries.

However, these current efforts are just points on a larger continuum, which ranges from earlier work on secure coprocessor design and...

Although conventional cogeneration systems have been used successfully in the last two decades, most of them have been large units using mainly hydrocarbon fuels that are becoming increasingly expensive. New cogeneration systems based on fuel cells and sorption air conditioning systems promise to be an energy-saving alternative for situations when cooling, heating and power are needed at low and medium capacities.

Cogeneration Fuel Cell-Sorption Air Conditioning Systems examines the thermodynamic principles of fuel cell performance and sorption air conditioning systems, and gives...

The UHV transmission has many advantages for new power networks due to its capacity, long distance potential, high efficiency, and low loss. Development of UHV transmission technology is led by infrastructure development and renewal, as well as smart grid developments, which can use UHV power networks as the transmission backbone for hydropower, coal, nuclear power and large renewable energy bases.

Over the years, State Grid Corporation of China has developed a leading position in UHV core technology R&D, equipment development, plus construction experience, standards development...
