Covers the state of the art of the technology and standards for reconfigurable radio systems, from self organizing networks and cognitive radio, through to reconfigurable architectures for networks and terminals This timely book provides a standards-based view of the development, evolution, techniques and potential future scenarios for the deployment of reconfigurable radio systems. After an introduction to radiomobile and radio systems deployed in the access network, the book describes cognitive radio concepts and capabilities, which are the basis for reconfigurable radio systems. The self-organizing network features introduced in 3GPP standards are discussed and before IEEE 802.22, the first standard based on cognitive radio, is described. Then the ETSI reconfigurable radio systems functional architecture and the IEEE 1900.4 standard for reconfigurable radio are examined. Finally, the author presents new scenarios and future visions that reconfigurable radio systems may bring. Key features:– Examines the current standards based on cognitive and reconfigurable radio, and analyses future scenarios Includes a general overview of radiomobile (i.e. GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE) and wireless (i.e. WLAN, WPAN, WiMAX) network architectures Features an accompanying website features links and white papers

Physik des Golfspiels. Mit Newton zum Tee
Ivan Egry ist Physiker und begeisterter Golfer ? er kennt nicht nur Begriffe wie >Handicap<, >Chippen<, >Hook< und >Slice< oder >Putten<, nein, er kann auch genau erklaren, wie alles physikalisch funktioniert. Mit Physik des Golfspiels hat er nun eine Lucke geschlossen und das erste deutschsprachige Sachbuch zum Thema geschrieben. Ob Ballflug oder Treffmoment ? alles erklart Egry verstandlich und mit so wenig Mathematik wie moglich und entmystifiziert, ganz nebenbei, auch noch den >perfekten< Golfschwung. OB FLUGBAHN ODER DAS SPRINGEN DES BALLS: HINTER ALLEM STECKT PHYSIK An dem brachial klingenden Rat >Wenn Du willst, dass der Ball weit fliegt, musst Du halt fest draufhauen< ist etwas dran, wenn man ihn richtig interpretiert. Richtig hei?t in diesem Fall: physikalisch. Denn auch das Golfspiel gehorcht den Gesetzen der Physik wie den Newton?schen Bewegungsgleichungen der klassischen Mechanik. ERST LESEN, DANN TRAINIEREN ? SONST GEHT DER SCHUSS NACH HINTEN LOS Ubrigens: Wer wahrend des Spiels zu viel daruber nachdenkt, wie es um seinen Golfschwung steht, der erlebt Paralyse durch Analyse ? denn Golf, so Egry, >lebt von der Anwendung automatisierter Ablaufe<. Erst lesen, dann viel trainieren und das Gelernte umsetzen. Golfer, die so an die Sache herangehen, werden auch ihre Leistungen steigern. Frisch auf also zum schwerkraftunterstutzten Chippen, optimalen Drive oder den Putts bei seitlichem Gefalle ? viel Freude und Erfolg dabei!
Emulsions, Foams, Suspensions, and Aerosols. Microscience and Applications
This is the first book to provide an integrated introduction to the nature, formation and occurrence, stability, propagation, and uses of the most common types of colloidal dispersion in the process-related industries. The primary focus is on the applications of the principles, paying attention to practical processes and problems. This is done both as part of the treatment of the fundamentals, where appropriate, and also in the separate sections devoted to specifi c kinds of industries. Throughout, the treatment is integrated, with the principles of colloid and interface science common to each dispersion type presented for each major physical property class, followed by separate treatments of features unique to emulsions, foams, or suspensions. The first half of the book introduces the fundamental principles, introducing readers to suspension formation and stability, characterization, and fl ow properties, emphasizing practical aspects throughout. The following chapters discuss a wide range of industrial applications and examples, serving to emphasize the diff erent methodologies that have been successfully applied. The author assumes no prior knowledge of colloid chemistry and, with its glossary of key terms, complete cross-referencing and indexing, this is a must-have for graduate and professional scientists and engineers who may encounter or use emulsions, foams, or suspensions, or combinations thereof, whether in process design, industrial production, or in related R&D fields.
