This book presents a comprehensive exploration of space debris from four essential perspectives: detection, early warning, protection, and mitigation. It begins with both ground-based and space-based detection technologies and systems, followed by an in-depth discussion on debris environment modeling, prediction principles, and early warning mechanisms. The book then addresses spacecraft shielding structures and protective materials, along with mission-level protection design. Finally, it ...

This book provides a brief introduction to the theory of finite dimensional differential inclusions, and deals in depth with control of three kinds of differential inclusion systems. The authors introduce the algebraic decomposition of convex processes, the stabilization of polytopic systems, and observations of Luré systems. They also introduce the elemental theory of finite dimensional differential inclusions, and the properties and designs of the control systems described by differentia...

This book is uniquely designed for a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the robotic grasping and fixturing (RGF) from the multifingered robot hand grasp, humanoid robot hand and basic fixture design principle, and evaluating and planning of robotic grasping/ fixturing. It also focuses on the modeling and applications of the RGF.Three new chapters are added in this edition to cover the relevant basic theories of grasping feature analysis and the new principles of robotic ...

Indien blir självständigt i augusti 1947. Den natten föds de 1 001 midnattsbarnen. De är länkade vid historien, fångar landets öde.De har också magiska gåvor.Saleem Sinai, född i tolvslagets dovt darrande sekund, kan avläsa alla tankar, från makthavarna till tiggarna i slummen. Med sin stora känsliga näsa har han ett olycksbådande väderkorn för människors nycker och samhällets strömkantringar. Kring denne bisarre hjälte växer en myllrande rik och sagoskimrande skröna fram, ...

This book presents a novel framework design for the next generation Marine Wireless Communication Networks (MWCNs). The authors first provide an overview of MWCNs, followed by a discussion of challenges in the design and development of MWCNs in support of a diversity of marine services such as real-time marine monitoring, offshore oil exploration, drilling, marine tourism and fishing. The authors then propose cross layer networking solutions to achieve a high performance modern MWCN that e...

This SpringerBrief investigates cross layer resource allocation in unlicensed LTE (Long Term Evolution) HetNets. Specifically, the authors study and cover the radio access management of unlicensed LTE to allow efficient spectrum utilization and harmonious coexistence with other unlicensed systems in this brief. Efficient radio access protocols are developed to allow unlicensed LTE users to fair share channel access with unlicensed users in different systems, including Wi-Fi and unlicensed ...

Quanto Stato ci serve, nel terzo millennio? L'autore di questo libro guarda al futuro dello Stato moderno da punti di vista diversi ma complementari: come capo di Stato, come politico, come imprenditore attivo in diversi continenti e come storico che ha studiato l'influenza della tecnologia militare, dei trasporti e dell'economia sul funzionamento dello Stato. "Lo Stato nel terzo millennio" analizza le forze che hanno modellato la storia umana nel passato e ipotizza il ruolo che avranno ne...
