Optical Fiber Communications
Optical Fiber Communications, Volume 1: Fiber Fabrication focuses on the science, engineering, and application of information transmission through optical fibers. This book discusses the materials and processes for fiber fabrication, fiber theory, design, and measurement, as well as passive components, cabling, active devices, systems, and applications. Organized into five chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD), the outside vapor deposition (OVD), and the vapor-phase axial deposition (VAD) processes. This text then explores the important development with respect to the drawing of glass fibers, particularly those that serve as optical waveguides in telecommunications applications. Other chapters discuss the progress in fiber strength from short-length research fibers to large quantities that give confidence in the manufacturability of high-strength, long-length fibers. The final chapter discusses the advances in the technologies of optical-fiber manufacture. This book is a valuable resource for process engineers, technicians, scientists, and optical fiber manufacturers.
Imaging with Electromagnetic Spectrum
This book demonstrates how imaging techniques, applying different frequency bands from the electromagnetic spectrum, are used in scientific research. Illustrated with numerous examples this book is structured according to the different radiation bands: From Gamma-rays over UV and IR to radio frequencies. In order to ensure a clear understanding of the processing methodologies, the text is enriched with descriptions of how digital images are formed, acquired, processed and how to extract information from them. A special emphasis is given to the application of imaging techniques in food and agriculture research.
Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer
In observing the development of modern scientific knowledge, many indivi duals have expressed concern over the rapid growth of information in various specialized disciplines. Over 100 years ago the first Secretary of the Smith sonian Institution, and more recently Dr. Vannevar Bush while proposing the modern expansion of the National Institutes of Health, both noted prob lems that prevented the proper utilization of information by individuals in medical and related scientific fields. These observations, tagether with con comitant implications of future difficulty, are particularly pertinent to the field of oncology. The rapid evolution of the latter discipline has largely been aided by the i...
Resilience and Sustainability of Civil Infrastructures under Extreme Loads
There are many regions worldwide which are susceptible to extreme loads such as earthquakes. These can cause loss of life and adverse impacts on civil infrastructures, the environment, and communities. A series of methods and measures have been used to mitigate the effects of these extreme loads. The adopted approaches and methods must enable civil structures to be resilient and sustainable. Therefore, to reduce damage and downtime in addition to protecting life and promoting safety, new resilient structure technologies must be proposed and developed. This special issue book focuses on methods of enhancing the sustainability and resilience of civil infrastructures in the event of extreme loa...
Fundamentals of Fibre Optics in Telecommunication and Sensor Systems
Fibre Optics Is A Very Important Constituent Of Modern Information Technology. One Major Economic Benefit Offered By Fibre Optics Is Very High Information Transmission Rate At Low Cost Per Circuit-Km. The First Fibre Optic Telephone Link Went Public In Late 1970S. Ever Since, The Industrially Advanced Nations Around The World Have Been Striving To Deploy Fibre Optics In Almost Every Sector Of Communication Including Computer Networks And Data Links. Rarely, Since The Discovery Of Transistors, Have We Noticed Such A Fantastic Growth Rate Of A New Technology. As An Important Byproduct Of This Phenomenal Progress, A New Class Of Ultra-Sensitive Optical Sensors And Devices Based On Fibre Optics ...
Aliphatic Carcinogens
Chemical Induction of Cancer: Structural Bases and Biological Mechanisms Volume IIIA deals with the organic and biochemical principles behind cancer. This volume contains the continuation of Volume IIA, which tackles structure-activity relationships of chemical carcinogens, the effect of chemical reactivity, molecular geometry, and metabolism on carcinogenic activity. Under this is non-conjugated organic compounds. The text is recommended for doctors, organic chemists, and biochemists with an advanced knowledge in biochemistry and organic chemistry and would like to know more the biochemical processes of cancer.
Development of Optical Fibers in Japan
Low-loss optical fibers were developed by Corning in 1970. Since then much effort has gone into further loss reduction. Murata (Furukawa Electric Co., Tokyo) covers history, common manufacturing techniques, and the production and use of polarization-maintaining fibers. Acidic paper. Members of GandB's book club pay only $36.00. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Protamines
A century has already passed since FRIEDRICH MIESCHER, working at Strasbourg and Basel, began his study of protamine, one of the basic nuclear proteins of cells. It was first established by KOSSEL that protamine represents the simplest known protein. In the conviction that research into the nature of protamine would shed light on that of other typical proteins, a group of researchers in Germany followed MIESCHER and laid the foundations of protein chemistry. A general view of prot amines was thus built up by KOSSEL, working at Strasbourg, Berlin, Marburg an der Lahn, and Heidelberg, FELIX at Heidelberg, Munich, and Frankfurt am Main, and WALDSCHMIDT-LEITZ at Prague and Munich. Concepts and t...
