The IoT Physical Layer
This book documents some of the most recent advances on the physical layer of the Internet of Things (IoT), including sensors, circuits, and systems. The application area selected for illustrating these advances is that of autonomous, wearable systems for real-time medical diagnosis. The book is unique in that it adopts a holistic view of such systems and includes not only the sensor and processing subsystems, but also the power, communication, and security subsystems. Particular attention is paid to the integration of these IoT subsystems as well as the prototyping platforms needed for achieving such integration. Other unique features include the discussion of energy-harvesting subsystems to achieve full energy autonomy and the consideration of hardware security as a requirement for the integrity of the IoT physical layer. One unifying thread of the various designs considered in this book is that they have all been fabricated and tested in an advanced, low-power CMOS process, namely GLOBALFOUNDRIES 65nm CMOS LPe.
Anti-American Terrorism and the Middle East
After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a stunned public asked: How could this happen? Why did the attackers do what they did? What did they hope to accomplish? This wasn't the first battle in a conflict that has included bombings of U.S. embassies and planes, the Iran hostage crisis, and kidnappings or shootings of American citizens. This unique volume sets out to answer these questions using the unfiltered words of the terrorists themselves. Over many decades, radical forces in the Middle East have changed and evolved, yet their basic outlook and anti-Western views have remained remarkably consistent. Barry Rubin and Judith Colp Rubin hav...
In-Memory Computing Hardware Accelerators for Data-Intensive Applications
This book describes the state-of-the-art of technology and research on In-Memory Computing Hardware Accelerators for Data-Intensive Applications. The authors discuss how processing-centric computing has become insufficient to meet target requirements and how Memory-centric computing may be better suited for the needs of current applications. This reveals for readers how current and emerging memory technologies are causing a shift in the computing paradigm. The authors do deep-dive discussions on volatile and non-volatile memory technologies, covering their basic memory cell structures, operations, different computational memory designs and the challenges associated with them. Specific case studies and potential applications are provided along with their current status and commercial availability in the market.
Terrorism, an Unconventional Crime
The terrorist attacks of 9 /11 opened a window on a host of questions and assumptions about terrorism. Terrorism, An Unconventional Crime, uses those questions and assumptions as a starting point to explore the history, ideology, movements, leaders, and modern methodology of what is in fact an ancient phenomenon. Chapter topics include the following: What Are the Historic Roots of Terrorism? September 11 How Could It Happen Here? Who Are the Taliban? Is al Qaeda Taking Root in America? What Are the Tactics of Terrorism? Are Rebels, Guerillas, and Drug Cartels Terrorists? Is Islam a Major Threat to Europe? Can Terrorism Be Eradicated? If Terrorism Is an Unconventional Crime, What Are the Unco...

Half Truth
Half Truth is an endeavor to portray the real picture of todays burning and bleeding Afghanistan. It unveils the hidden faces and ruthless powerful forces behind this exclusive global tragedy. It reveals, how Afghanistan was turned into a battlefield in mid seventies, using highly emotional religious slogan (Jihad) as a deceptive net and a Machiavellian tool, to organize an international anti- communism front to destroy the USSR. Half Truth unveils, how in post USSR era, once again same forces chose Afghanistan as a center stage, to advance their hidden agenda of capturing the vast natural energy resources and precious metals of the Central Asia, Caspian, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Middle Eas...
Palestine and the Great Feud
This volume analyzes the early period of the Arab-Israeli conflict (1897–1948), which encompasses the emergence of the Zionist movement and the end of the First World War. Zionism and Western colonialism continue to play a definitive role in shaping the fate of the Palestinian cause. The author argues that it is possible to understand the existence of such a relationship between Zionism and Western colonialism by looking at the unity of purpose of both approaches and the international circles in which Zionism has been supported from the very beginning. Zionism does not correspond to a natural course of national development, such as the origin, language, and cultural unity of a nation residing in lands where its ancestors lived but is an international idea that transcends territoriality. Similarly, Western colonialism, which aims to design an extra territorial framework, follows the same path as Zionism in this framework.
Public History for a Post-Truth Era
Public History for a Post-Truth Era explores how to combat historical denial when faith in facts is at an all-time low. Moving beyond memorial museums or documentaries, the book shares on-the-ground stories of participatory public memory movements that brought people together to grapple with the deep roots and current truths of human rights abuses. It gives an inside look at "Sites of Conscience" around the world, and the memory activists unearthing their hidden histories, from the Soviet Gulag to the slave trade in Senegal. It then follows hundreds of people joining forces across dozens of US cities to fight denial of Guantánamo, mass incarceration, and climate change. As reparations proposals proliferate in the US, the book is a resource for anyone seeking to confront historical injustices and redress their harms. Written in accessible, non-academic language, it will appeal to students, educators, or supportive citizens interested in public history, museums, or movement organizing.
