Free Download Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031637046 | 182 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB
This book aims to address a wide range of topics in wireless/satellite communications to tackle the issues related to the integration of terrestrial networks (TN) with non-terrestrial networks (NTN). In Release 17, the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) proposed the standardization of NTN to allow 5G-based TN to support NTN. According to Release 17, the NTN will consist of satellites, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and high-altitude platforms (HAPs) regarded as specific use cases of NTN. Similar to the Global Positioning System (GPS), signals based on NTN are unable to provide indoor coverage, as these signals are attenuated and scattered by roofs, walls, etc. Moreover, power and delay are critical factors that restrict a cellular-enabled mobile handset from achieving reliability, seamless coverage, and low latency while relying on NTN. This book has brought together multidisciplinary contributors in the field of wireless/satellite communications to identify and present technical challenges and recent results related to the design of energy-efficient, delay-tolerant, and enhanced coverage-based integrated TN and NTN. Given that challenges and future aspects are also considered, the book covers a wide variety of subject categories and would therefore benefit a larger readership in the scientific community.

Free Download Handbook of Non-Metallic Inclusions in Steels
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819796377 | 814 Pages | PDF (True) | 102 MB
This handbook reports fundamentals, industrial practices and new aspects for the formation and control solution of non-metallic inclusions in different grades of steels. It summarizes the latest research achievements of thermodynamics and kinetics, such as deoxidation of real steels rather than pure iron, precise calcium treatment, prediction of the amount, size, composition and spatial distribution of inclusions in steel continuous casting semis which were rarely reported in other books in this field. It is a useful reference for researchers in steel industries for the control of non-metallic inclusions in steel, and the production of high-quality steels in industries such as automobiles, household electric appliances, bearings, electric transformers, high-speed trains, oil pipes and cutting wires.

Free Download Non-Fiction Cinema in Postwar Europe: Visual Culture and the Reconstruction of Public Space (Film Culture in Transition) by Lucie Cesalkova, Johannes Praetorius-Rhein, Perrine Val
English | October 21, 2024 | ISBN: 946372558X | 518 pages | PDF | 5.00 Mb
After WWII, cinema was everywhere: in movie theatres, public squares, factories, schools, trial courts, trains, museums, and political meetings. Seen today, documentaries and newsreels, as well as the amateur production, show the kaleidoscopic portrait of a changing Europe. How did these cinematic images contribute to shaping the new societies emerging from the ashes of war, both in the Western and in the Eastern bloc? Why were they so crucial in framing and regulating new places and practices, political systems, economic dynamics, educational frameworks, and memory communities? This edited volume explores the multiple ways nonfiction cinema reconfigured public spaces, collective participation, democratisation, and governmentality between 1944 and 1956. Looking back at it through a transnational perspective and the critical category of spatiality, nonfiction cinema appears in a new light: simultaneously as a specifically situated and as a highly mobile medium, it was a fundamental agent in reshaping Europe’s shared identity and culture in a defining decade.

Free Download Barbara de Salvo, "Silicon Non-Volatile Memories: Paths of Innovation"
English | 2009 | pages: 248 | ISBN: 1848211058 | PDF | 6,8 mb
Semiconductor flash memory is an indispensable component of modern electronic systems which has gained a strategic position in recent decades due to the progressive shift from computing to consumer (and particularly mobile) products as revenue drivers for Integrated Circuits (IC) companies. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the different technological approaches currently being studied to fulfill future memory requirements. Two main research paths are identified and discussed. Different "evolutionary paths" based on the use of new materials (such as silicon nanocrystals for storage nodes and high-k insulators for active dielectrics) and of new transistor structures (such as multi-gate devices) are investigated in order to extend classical floating gate technology to the 32 nm node. "Disruptive paths" based on new storage mechanisms or new technologies (such as phase-change devices, polymer or molecular cross-bar memories) are also covered in order to address 22 nm and smaller IC generations. Finally, the main factors at the origin of these phenomena are identified and analyzed, providing pointers on future research activities and developments in this area.

Free Download Agnes Andeweg, "Transnational Feminism in Non-English Speaking Europe, c.1960-1990 "
English | ISBN: 3031691377 | 2024 | 262 pages | EPUB, PDF | 6 MB + 6 MB
This edited collection aims to look beyond established narratives of feminist history, by focusing on non-English speaking European countries. Recent scholarship on the history of the women’s liberation movement in individual countries has enhanced our understanding of the importance of transnational influences in the history of European feminism, and problematised the periodisation of feminisms. Additionally, the translation of feminist practices and texts have received interest during the past years. Despite this work, the United States, and to a lesser extent the United Kingdom, are still the main points of reference in histories of post-war feminism. This book asks what happens to the picture if we place non-English speaking European countries in the centre. Using Lucy Delap’s concept of ‘mosaic feminism’, its contributors emphasise the variety of patterns that women’s feminist organising showed in different cultural contexts despite similarities in their ideological corner stones.

Free Download Iseult Honohan, Marit Hovdal-Moan, "Domination, migration and non-citizens"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0367739895 | EPUB | pages: 156 | 0.2 mb
Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a status that provides protection from domination, understood as subjection to arbitrary interference, are non-citizens – whether outside or inside the state – necessarily subject to domination by virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics, what are the implications for the treatment of migrants and resident non-citizens?
