• Explores the role of optical waveguides in sensing and discusses sensor technologies based on intensity and phase modulation, fluorescence,...

The military, the research community, emergency services, and industrial environments all rely on ad hoc mobile wireless networks because of their simple infrastructure and minimal central administration. Now in its second edition, Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks: Principles, Protocols, and Applications explains the concepts, mechanism, design, and performance of these highly valued systems.

Following an overview of wireless network fundamentals, the book explores MAC layer, routing, multicast, and transport layer protocols for ad hoc mobile wireless...

Although elemental semiconductors such as silicon and germanium are standard for energy dispersive spectroscopy in the laboratory, their use for an increasing range of applications is becoming marginalized by their physical limitations, namely the need for ancillary cooling, their modest stopping powers, and radiation intolerance. Compound semiconductors, on the other hand, encompass such a wide range of physical and electronic properties that they have become viable competitors in a number of applications. Compound Semiconductor Radiation Detectors is a consolidated...

Although governments worldwide have invested significantly in intelligent sensor network research and applications, few books cover intelligent sensor networks from a machine learning and signal processing perspective. Filling this void, Intelligent Sensor Networks: The Integration of Sensor Networks, Signal Processing and Machine Learning focuses on the close integration of sensing, networking, and smart signal processing via machine learning.
Based on the world-class research of award-winning authors, the book provides a firm grounding in the fundamentals of...

This book reports about new advances and different approaches in dealing with impedance spectroscopy including theory, methods and applications. Impedance spectroscopy is a widely used and interesting measurement method applied in many fields of science and technology such as electro chemistry, material science, biology and medicine. In spite of the apparently different scientific and application background in these fields, they share the same measurement method in a system identification approach and profit from the possibility to use complex impedance over a wide frequency range and...

Almost every industry that use liquids and gas in any form has a need to measure flow, temperature and pressure.
