This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference, SENSORNETS 2017, Porto, Portugal, held in February 2017, and the 7th International Conference, SENSORNETS 2018, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, held in January 2018. The 18 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: sensor networks, including hardware of sensor networks, wireless communication protocols, sensor networks software and architectures, wireless information networks, data manipulation, signal processing, localization and object tracking through sensor networks, obstacles, applications and uses.
This book addresses a range of real-world issues including industrial activity, energy management, education, business and health. Today, technology is a part of virtually every human activity, and is used to support, monitor and manage equipment, facilities, commodities, industry, business, and individuals’ health, among others. As technology evolves, new applications, methods and techniques arise, while at the same time citizens’ expectations from technology continue to grow. In order to meet the nearly insatiable demand for new applications, better performance and higher reliability, trustworthiness, security, and power consumption efficiency, engineers must deliver smart innovations,...
En alvorlig regnefejl har sat en stopper for Theis Brodersens karriere som topembedsmand, men nu har livet givet ham en ny chance. Krigen i Ukraine og verdens armlægning med Rusland er blot en fjern rumlen for Theis, lige indtil den dag en gammel ven – den russiske ambassadør i Danmark – møder op og beder ham om en tjeneste. Tjenesten involverer Vladimir Putins datter og tolv danske fremmedkrigere, der er blevet taget til fange i den ukrainske krigszone. Sammen med sin gamle chauffør, eks-soldaten Laurits, stiger Theis ned i en ormegård af afstumpethed og grådighed. Trådene samles i Sydspanien på et nyopført hotel, der aldrig har gæster, men alligevel kan opvise en bugnende omsætning og en afdeling, hvor fattige mennesker sælger ud af det dyrebareste, de ejer.

Den radikala societetsdamen Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) introducerade den moderna romanen i Sverige. Hon kastade också loss ur den instängda hemaidyllen och vände sig i sina reseskildringar mot den stora världen. Hon blev en internationell pionjär, inte bara inom litteratur och kvinnosak, utan också inom filantropi, fredsarbete och liberal samhällsdebatt. Härigenom blev hon en av den svenska historiens viktigaste och mest uppmärksammade kvinnor. Bremer. En biografi är en inspirerad berättelse om en ovanlig människa och hennes samtid. Skildringen, som utkom första gången 2001, är gedigen, mångsidig och byggd på nytt arkivmaterial. Romanförfattaren och forskaren Carina Burman tecknar här den okonventionella Bremers privata och offentliga liv.
Polymer Optical Fibres: Fibre Types, Materials, Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications explores polymer optical fibers, specifically their materials, fabrication, characterization, measurement techniques, and applications. Optical effects, including light propagation, degrading effects of attenuation, scattering, and dispersion, are explained. Other important parameters like mechanical strength, operating temperatures, and processability are also described. Polymer optical fibers (POF) have a number of advantages over glass fibers, such as low cost, flexibility, low weight, electromagnetic immunity, good bandwidth, simple installation, and mechanical stability. - Provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of materials, fabrication, properties, measurement techniques, and applications of POF - Focuses on industry needs in communication, illumination and sensors, the automotive industry, and medical and biotechnology - Features input from leading experts in POF technology, with experience spanning optoelectronics, polymer, and textiles - Explains optical effects, including light propagation, degrading effects of attenuation, scattering, and dispersion
Wanneer Matis moeder in een verpleeghuis belandt, ruimt Mati haar huizen leeg: huizen waar de troep zich kamerhoog heeft voortgeplant en waarin ieder voorwerp de pianokruk, het emaillen pannetje haar terugvoert naar haar eigen, onveilige, jeugd en haar voorgeschiedenis. Die wordt door Karlijn Stoffels opgeroepen in een prachtig mozaïek van verhalen. Over de overgrootmoeder, geboren uit een zoete geheime liefde. Over de grootvader die als advocaat in de oorlog Portugese joden redde. En natuurlijk over de moeder, wier gekte man en kinderen radeloos maakt maar die uiteindelijk schittert in een ontroerend portret. En steeds wordt er gezongen: kinderversjes en smartlappen, droevige Jiddisje liedjes die van ver komen en die bijna niemand verstaat.
