"Miniaturized satellites are paving the way to a completely new era of faster and less expensive access to space by using smaller payloads. Pico- and nanosatellite activity has expanded greatly in the last decade, due in large part to activity within the university satellite community. This book describes the current state of this exciting technology and includes a variety of detailed examples that will help the reader identify appropriate analytical models, simulations, and technologies in the development of miniaturized satellite missions."--Publisher.
This book covers recent advances in image processing and imaging sciences from an optimization viewpoint, especially convex optimization with the goal of designing tractable algorithms. Throughout the handbook, the authors introduce topics on the most key aspects of image acquisition and processing that are based on the formulation and solution of novel optimization problems. The first part includes a review of the mathematical methods and foundations required, and covers topics in image quality optimization and assessment. The second part of the book discusses concepts in image formation and capture from color imaging to radar and multispectral imaging. The third part focuses on sparsity co...
Sean Topham goes back to the future to follow the evolution of space-age design: from its conception in the 1950s to its decline in the 1970s and its retro-revival today. There are illustrations of household objects and "haute couture", advertising and comic books, plastics and interior design.
Yesteryears Western Trek is an adventure/romance novel that portrays the coming of age of a young man, Joey Darbier, in the wilds of the western frontier during the 1860s era. The story begins with Joey's account of wagon train travels on the Bozeman Trail. The book is embedded in historical background: Civil War, gold-rush fever, telegraph displacing Pony express, founding of Montana cities, Red Cloud's war, mid 1860s forts along the Bozeman Trail, Nelson Story's Texas-to-Montana cattle drive, and more. An Indian encounter results in Joey's separation from the wagon train at the Bighorn River. Joey pursues the captors of family members and struggles to reach his uncle's ranch in the Gallatin Valley. Along the way, he meets and joins forces with Little Flower, a Crow Indian maiden, wise beyond her years,who herself is fleeing captivity from a Sioux war chief.
The field of Molecular Diagnostics is rapidly evolving and molecular characterization of neoplasms is becoming an increasingly important part of the pathologic work up and diagnosis of many tumor types. This work provides a high-yield reference book that compiles critical information related to molecular biomarkers for various solid tumor and hematologic malignancy subtypes. It is succinct yet comprehensive enough to be suitable for fellows in training and medical professionals with an interest in molecular pathology and biomarkers. The book covers many aspects of molecular diagnostics, from techniques to applications and comprehensive summaries of the current molecular biomarkers of critica...
Nanotechnology-based therapeutics, operating at scales of billionths of a metre, have great potential for future expansion in altering the scale and methods of drug delivery. The availability of these novel formulations to once-inaccessible areas of the body has greatly expanded the therapeutic window of existing drug molecules. Nanoparticulate drug delivery highlights and examines the transition of nanoparticulate drug delivery systems from the laboratory into a commercially viable sector. The first chapters of the book provide an overview of the use and characterization of nanoparticulate systems as drug carriers, including the assessment of their morphology, sterility and potential toxici...
