Communications, Radar and Electronic Warfare
by Adrian GrahamA practical guide to the principles of radio communications for both civilian and military applicationsIn this book, the author covers both the civilian and military uses of technology, focusing particularly on the applications of radio propagation and prediction. Divided into two parts, the author introduces the basic theory of radio prediction before providing a step-by-step explanation of how this theory can be translated into real-life applications. In addition, the book presents up-to-date systems and methods to illustrate how these applications work in practice. This includes systems working in the HF bands and SHF. Furthermore, the author examines the performance of these systems, and also the effects of noise, interference and deliberate jamming, as well as the performance of jamming, detection and intercept systems. Particular attention is paid to the problems caused by Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs).Key Features:A practical handbook on the topic of radio communications and propagationWritten by an expert in both the civilian and military applications of the technologyFocuses on methods such as radio and radar jamming, and radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs)Contains problems and solutions to clarify key topics

Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC): Automation of metros and urban rapid transit systems
by Lars SchniederUrban rail systems are increasingly reaching their limits as traffic demand rises. The safety and performance of these transport systems are significantly determined by the control and safety technology used. Expanding the transport offering requires efficient signaling systems, known as Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) systems. In this book, the author presents the system environment into which CBTC systems are integrated within urban transport companies. It shows how the individual safety functions of CBTC solutions contribute to hazard control and how technical systems progressively take over more functions from humans with increasing grades of automation. Finally, non-functional requirements for CBTC systems such as safety, availability, performance, and cost-effectiveness are discussed, and factors for the successful execution of complex signaling renewal projects are highlighted.
Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC): Komponenten, Funktionen und Betrieb
by Lars SchniederInnerstädtische Schienenverkehrssysteme stoßen bei steigender Verkehrsnachfrage zunehmend an ihre Grenzen. Die Sicherheit und die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Verkehrssysteme werden wesentlich durch die eingesetzte Leit- und Sicherungstechnik bestimmt. Eine Ausweitung des Verkehrsangebots erfordert leistungsfähige signaltechnische Systeme, die als Communications-Based Train Control Systeme (CBTC) bezeichnet werden. In diesem Buch stellt der Autor die Systemumgebung dar, in die sich die CBTC-Systeme in Nahverkehrsunternehmen integrieren. Es wird gezeigt, welchen Beitrag die einzelnen Sicherungsfunktionen von CBTC-Lösungen zur Gefährdungsbeherrschung leisten und wie technische Systeme mit zunehmender Automatisierung sukzessive mehr Funktionen vom Menschen übernehmen. Zum Abschluss werden an CBTC-Systeme gestellte nicht-funktionale Anforderungen wie Sicherheit, Verfügbarkeit, Leistungsfähigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit diskutiert und Faktoren einer erfolgreichen Abwicklung komplexer signaltechnischer Erneuerungsprojekte aufgezeigt.Zusätzliche Fragen per App: Laden Sie die Springer Nature Flashcards-App kostenlos herunter und nutzen Sie exklusives Zusatzmaterial, um Ihr Wissen zu prüfen.

Communicative Biocapitalism: The Voice of the Patient in Digital Health and the Health Humanities
by Olivia BannerThe Precision Medicine Initiative, Apple’s HealthKit, the FitBit—the booming digital health industry asserts that digital networks, tools, and the scientific endeavors they support will usher in a new era of medicine centered around “the voice of the patient.” But whose “voices” do such tools actually solicit? And through what perspective will those voices be heard? Digital health tools are marketed as neutral devices made to help users take responsibility for their health. Yet digital technologies are not neutral; they are developed from an existing set of assumptions about their potential users and contexts for use, and they reflect dominant ideologies of health, dis/ability, gender, and race. Using patient-networking websites, the Quantified Self, and online breast cancer narratives, Communicative Biocapitalism examines the cultural, technological, economic, and rhetorical logics that shape the “voice of the patient” in digital health to identify how cultural understandings and social locations of race, gender, and disability intertwine with whose voices are elicited and how they are interpreted.
Communities and Livelihood Strategies in Developing Countries
by Keshav Lall MaharjanSustainability of rural communities is threatened by a plethora of factors including climate change and disasters which interact in an intricate manner in making rural people vulnerable and poor. This book is the output of empirical research on communities and livelihood strategies in developing countries. It reveals how rural communities are functioning and earning their livelihoods by making the best use of the resources, local/internal or external/new and the combination of the two to counteract the various challenges they face, with the ultimate goal of becoming resilient to local or global shocks and sustaining that resilience. Local governance is identified as crucial in ensuring sustainable livelihoods as it ensures healthy collaboration between communities, on the one hand and civil society and those communities, on the other hand, in promoting self-sustaining development trajectories. Similarly, the role of social capital is not ignored as it brings in community drive and a sense of purpose, direction and solidarity among community members which facilitates problem solving in periods of crises and disasters.
Communities of Practice and Vintage Innovation: A Strategic Reaction to Technological Change (SpringerBriefs in Business)
by Francesco SchiavoneThis book focuses on the notion of "vintage innovation" and its application in various old technology-based communities of practice. Some communities of practice resist and react to technological change by adopting new technological products ("vintage products") that extend the lifetime of their old, favored products and practices. There are a number of potential reasons for such strategic reactions, which are analyzed by the author. The book opens by reviewing the nature of technological change. Old technology-based communities of practice and their typical reactions to technological change are then discussed, and the concept of vintage innovation, introduced and explained. The book presents four case studies of communities of users in which vintage innovation emerged: analog photographers, radio amateurs, arcade videogame players, and disc jockeys.
Community Action for Conservation: Mexican Experiences
by Luciana Porter-Bolland Isabel Ruiz-Mallén Claudia Camacho-Benavides Susannah R. MccandlessThis book provides an in-depth analysis on community conservation in Mexico. The volume explores vivid examples and case studies that illustrate some of the critical issues at stake, including the participation of local communities in national and global conservation, indigenous and local perceptions of conservation initiatives in Southern Mexico, and challenges in ICCA governance and ecotourism. The book also reviews methodological approaches for understanding and strengthening community conservation, touching upon such topics as community-based biodiversity monitoring and tools for understanding children's perceptions of community conservation. Written by international experts in the field, Community Action for Conservation: Mexican Experiences is a lively and deep-running resource that offers invaluable stories and analyses of the Mexican experience with conservation.
