2005 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 0387254811 | PDF | 7 MB
Communication Systems is as an introductory textbook, presenting Fourier transform, convolution, and definitions of autocorrelation and power spectral density. It also introduces concepts of probability, random variables, and stochastic processes and their applications to the analysis of linear systems.Innovatively, the text treats the modulation process using stochastic processes as well as covers amplitude modulation, quadrature modulation, angle modulation, mobile cellular systems, propagation channels and more. Quantization and coding of analog signals is also treated, as well as speech coding. Channel modeling, including channel characteristics and propagation, is covered with an emphasis on simple models. Transmission and reception of modulated carriers is included as well as the required transmitting and receiving equipment. Mobile communication is also covered and considers both analog and digital systems.The authors provide five appendices which cover topics such as Fourier series and transforms, Hilbert transform, important formulae, and cellular systems including CDMA and GSM standards. Many examples are provided as well as problems at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to practice his acquired knowledge.

Roberto Refinetti PhD., "Circadian Physiology"
English | 2016 | pages: 738 | ISBN: 1466514973 | PDF | 49,5 mb
Biological processes that repeat themselves every 24 hours within a biological system are called circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are generated by the circadian clock, which affects the operation of practically every function in the body. Now in its third edition, this book presents the latest information on basic research in circadian biology and its applications in business and medicine. The book reviews the history of the field, explains classical and novel research methods, explores behavioral, physiological, and ecological processes, and describes neural and molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythmicity. It also examines applications in the selection of the optimal timing for work and play, prevention of jet lag, avoidance of the shift-work malaise, and treatment of sleep disorders and psychiatric illnesses.

Michelle Williams, "Challenging Inequality in South Africa: Transitional Compasses "
English | ISBN: 0367551616 | 2020 | 138 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In Challenging Inequality in South Africa: Transitional Compasses leading scholars of South Africa explore creative possibilities to challenge structures of economic, social and political power that produce inequality. Through concrete empirical examples of movements, workers' struggles, initiatives, and politics in challenging inequality, the authors illustrate 'transitional compasses' that go beyond protest politics to a 'generative' politics, a politics of building the alternatives in the interstitial spaces of capitalism. The conceptual framing is oriented around the way in which power is produced and reproduced through intricate relationships between hegemonic projects and everyday life. While power underpins all social relations, it is often taken for granted, as it is frequently hidden behind other social relations. Resistance to power emerges through engendering counter-hegemonic projects that are intertwined with alternative everyday practices. The authors highlight sources of alternative forms of power found in resistance to dominant forms of power through concrete experiences to create transformative alternatives. To concretize the conceptual framing, the authors look at the emancipatory possibilities of a universal basic income, the use of law in tackling inequality in health and education, creative initiatives to establish a people-centred food system through food sovereignty, new forms of organizing led by precarious workers, democratic possibilities in local state delivery, and attempts at reconceptualizing the good life by looking at issues of happiness and ecosocialism.

Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols By John Swansbury (auth.), John Swansbury (eds.)
2003 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 1588290808 | PDF | 2 MB
Cytogenetic studies of malignancy have become an essential tool in the clinical management of cancer patients, but they are not uniformly utilized, even in well-developed countries. In Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols, experienced cytogeneticists describe in step-by-step detail the key cytogenetic and FISH techniques used by modern clinical laboratories in the genetic analysis of human malignancies, as well as explain how best to interpret the results. The book's practical advice and methods are suitable for use at every level of expertise, including fully established laboratories, but with a sympathetic bias toward anyone considering setting up a new cytogenetics service. Here the reader will find not only elementary tutorials on the fundamentals of human karyotypes and chromosome analysis, but also detailed discussions on how laboratories may optimally upgrade their repertoire of available capabilities to include such newer complementary techniques as CGH, FISH, and M-FISH. Each protocol contains many novel ideas and time-saving techniques, expert commentary, tricks of the trade, alternative approaches, and suggestions that will help yield the results that clinicians want. Eminently practical for every stage of diagnostic service, Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols offers hospital and other pathology laboratories a user-friendly collection of both standard and advanced techniques, all carefully designed to improve the diagnosis and clinical management of cancer patients today.

2000 | 408 Pages | ISBN: 0896037371 | PDF | 4 MB
With the molecular mechanisms underlying the various forms of muscular dystrophy now rapidly clarifying, precise diagnosis has become a reality, and even a requirement in clinical practice. In Muscular Dystrophy: Methods and Protocols, Katherine Bushby and Louise Anderson have assembled an outstanding collection of key techniques for the analysis of DNA and protein from patients suspected to suffer from muscular dystrophy. Each method is highly detailed to ensure success and is presented by a hands-on expert who uses it on a day-to-day basis. The various DNA techniques focus on both the X-linked muscular dystrophies and the autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies. The protein methods include expression analysis, multiplex western blot analysis, immunocytochemical analysis, and reviews of immunological reagants and of amplification systems. Also discussed are the use of animal models to understand human muscular dystrophy and the available options for gene-based therapy. Comprehensive and highly practical, Muscular Dystrophy: Methods and Protocols offers today‚s diagnostic laboratories, basic and medical researchers, and active clinicians an authoritative collection of tools that will serve as exacting diagnostic tools as well as greatly empowering research on the novel therapeutics now beginning to emerge.

Even in a well-managed multi-project environment, it is not unusual to see half of all projects completed either late, over budget or with cuts to original scope. However, the proven approach presented in Advanced Multi-Project Management has enabled large, medium, and even small organizations to consistently complete their projects faster, within original scope and budget, and increase the number of projects executed with the same resources by as much as 70%. The list of companies that have used this methodology for stunning results includes some of the biggest, well-known names in the world-Boeing, Rio Tinto, ABB, and Chrysler. This guide details the six gears that must work in unison to drive speed and predictability within an organization.

The Battle of Tsushima was the most decisive naval engagement in the century that elapsed since the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Although these two battles are often compared, the Battle of Tsushima, in which the Japanese Imperial Navy defeated the Russian Imperial Navy, was also unprecedented in many ways. It marks the first naval victory of an Asian power over a major European power; the most devastating defeat suffered by the Imperial Russian Navy in its entire history; and the only truly decisive engagement between two battleship fleets in modern times.
