This book discusses the physicochemical changes (transformations) that metals deposited on urban road surfaces undergo during dry weather periods, in order to provide insights into their potential impacts on stormwater quality. Based on extensive field experiments, and laboratory and data analyses, it examines transformation characteristics of metals with respect to the particle size of road dust, antecedent dry days and land uses.

Dieses essential gibt einen Kurzüberblick über psychosoziale Aspekte von Patienten mit Hirntumoren.

This book deals with the basic theory for design and analysis of Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar systems. The design of one such multi-frequency high resolution LPI radar, PANDORA, is covered. This work represents the first time that the topic of multi-frequency radars is discussed in such detail and it is based on research conducted by the author in The Netherlands. The book provides the design tools needed for development, design, and analysis of high resolution radar systems for commercial as well as military applications. Software written in MATLAB and C++ is provided to guide the reader in calculating radar parameters and in ambiguity function analysis. Some radar simulation software is also included.

The authors have between them more than 60 years of experience in making electrical measurements in National Measurement Laboratories. These laboratories are the source of measurement standards and techniques for science and engineering and are dedicated to maintaining the international system of units (SI) by establishing and disseminating the values of measurement standards with the lowest possible uncertainty. Careful attention to detail is required in designing measurement systems that eliminate electrical interference and are as simple and as close to first principles as possible. This book draws on their experience by offering guidance and best practice for designing sensitive electrical measurement circuits.

Obwohl der prozentuale Kostenanteil beschaffter Güter aufgrund des Outsourcing-Trends stetig zugenommen hat, wurde die Beschaffung lange Zeit in Theorie und Praxis vernachlässigt. Mit der vierten industriellen Revolution (Industrie 4.0) hat sie jedoch die einzigartige Möglichkeit, ihr volles Potential zu nutzen und ihre strategische Relevanz auszubauen, wenn sie die richtigen Kompetenzen entwickelt.
