Recent Development in Wireless Sensor and Ad-hoc Networks
by Srikanta Patnaik Xiaolong Li Yeon-Mo YangWireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of numerous physically distributed autonomous devices used for sensing and monitoring the physical and/or environmental conditions. A WSN uses a gateway that provides wireless connectivity to the wired world as well as distributed networks. There are many open problems related to Ad-Hoc networks and its applications. Looking at the expansion of the cellular infrastructure, Ad-Hoc network may be acting as the basis of the 4th generation wireless technology with the new paradigm of ?anytime, anywhere communications'. To realize this, the real challenge would be the security, authorization and management issues of the large scale WSNs. This book is an edited volume in the broad area of WSNs. The book covers various chapters like Multi-Channel Wireless Sensor Networks, its Coverage, Connectivity as well as Deployment. It covers comparison of various communication protocols and algorithms such as MANNET, ODMRP and ADMR Protocols for Ad hoc Multicasting, Location Based Coordinated Routing Protocol and other Token based group local mutual exclusion Algorithms. The book also covers a chapter on Extended Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (EAODV) routing protocol based on Distributed Minimum Transmission Multicast Routing (DMTMR). One chapter is dedicated to OCDMA and its future application and another chapter covers development of Home Automation System using SWN.
Recent Development of Alternating Current Field Measurement Combine with New Technology
by Wei Li Xiao Li Xin'an Yuan Jianming Zhao Xiaokang Yin Jianchao ZhaoThis open access book can be divided into three parts. In part 1, three articles are employed to introduce the RACFM technology. In part 2, two articles are introduced to explain the Multifrequency ACFM. In part 3, three articles are introduced to explain the visualization research in ACFM. With the development of ACFM detection technology, traditional single excitation frequency and single direction excitation structures cannot meet the requirements of multiple types of defect detection (such as cracks at different angles, and buried defects). New types of excitation structures and methods have been proposed, mainly including rotating electromagnetic field detection, multi-frequency detection, and defects visual algorithm. The changes in the excitation structure and signal mentioned above have expanded the scope of application of ACFM detection and provided opportunities for the cross-integration and innovation of ACFM detection technology with other advanced detection methods. This book mainly focuses on the study of the rotating alternating current field measurement (RACFM), the multifrequency ACFM, and the visualization method in ACFM.

Recent Developments in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Shell Theory
by Alexander Ya. Grigorenko Wolfgang H. Müller Yaroslav M. Grigorenko Georgii G. VlaikovThis brief book presents solutions of stress-strain problems for a wide class of anisotropic inhomogeneous shells obtained by the refined model. Studying these problems results in severe computational difficulties due to partial differential equations with variable coefficients resulting from the constitutive relations of the original model. To solve this problem the book uses spline-collocation and discrete-orthogonalization methods. It analyses the influence of geometrical and mechanical parameters, of various kinds of boundary conditions, and of the loading conditions on the distributions of stress and displacement fields in shallow, spherical, conical, and noncircular cylindrical shells. The dependence of the stress-strain pattern on shell thickness variations is studied. The authors solve the problem also for the case of the thickness varying in two directions. They study how a variation in shell thickness influences the stress-strain state and consider noncircular cylindrical shells with elliptical and corrugated sections are considered. The results obtained during numerous calculations support the efficiency of the discrete-orthogonalization approach proposed in the monograph for solving static problems for anisotropic inhomogeneous shells when using the refined model.

Recent Developments in High Pressure Processing of Foods
by Dietrich Knorr Navin K RastogiFeatures a Foreword by Dr. Dietrich Knorr. Fruit processing and preservation technologies must ensure fresh-like characteristics in foods while providing an acceptable and convenient shelf life, as well as assuring safety and nutritional value. Processing technologies include a wide range of methodologies to inactivate microorganisms, improve quality and stability, and preserve and minimize changes of fresh-like characteristics in fruit. High pressure as a food preservation technique inactivates microorganisms at room temperature or lower; thus, sensory and nutritional characteristics can be maintained. In recent years, a significant increase in the number of scientific papers in literature demonstrating novel and diversified uses of high pressure processing indicates it to be highly emerging technology. The effect of high pressure technology on the quality and safety of foods will be discussed. Selected practical examples in fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat industries using high pressure will be presented and discussed. A brief account of the challenges in adopting this technology for industrial development will also be included.
