Cyclostationarity: Theory and MethodsIn the last decade the research in signal analysis was dominated by models that encompass nonsta-tionarity as an important feature. This book pres-ents the results of a workshop held in Grodek- Po-land in February 2013 which was dedicated to the investigation of cyclostationary signals. Its main objective is to highlight the strong interactions be-tween theory and applications of cyclostationary signals with the use of modern statistical tools. An important application of cyclostationary signals is the analysis of mechanical signals generated by a vibrating mechanism. Cyclostationary models are very important to perform basic operations on signals in both time and frequency domains. One of the fundamental problems in diagnosis of rotating machine is the identification of significant modulating frequencies that contribute to the cyclostationary nature of the signals.

Approaching Human PerformanceThe Functionality‑Driven Awiwi Robot Hand

Humanoid robotics have made remarkable progress since the dawn of robotics. So why don’t we have humanoid robot assistants in day-to-day life yet? This book analyzes the keys to building a successful humanoid robot for field robotics, where collisions become an unavoidable part of the game. The author argues that the design goal should be real anthropomorphism, as opposed to mere human-like appearance.

Features 7 Addresses a wide range of topics in robotics through a new approach to an anthropomor-phic robot, which can be extended to system design 7 Presents functional analyses of both human and robotic hands, which forms the basis of the robot hand design and helps to distill a set of comprehensive guidelines for robot hand designers 7 Proves that the kinematics designed using this approach achieve a new paradigm in grasp performance by matching full sets of well know grasp taxonomies

Mechanics of Localized Slippage in Tactile SensingAnd Application to Soft Sensing Systems

Localized slippage occurs during any relative sliding of soft contacts, ranging from human fingertips to robotic fingertips. Although this phe-nomenon is dominant for a very short time prior to gross slippage, localized slippage is a crucial fac-tor for any to-be-developed soft sensing system to respond to slippage before it occurs. The content of this book addresses all aspects of localized slip-page, including modeling and simulating it, as well as applying it to the construction of novel sensors with slip tactile perception.

Features 7 Presents Mechanics of Localized Slippage in Tactile Sensing 7 Offers for the first time a full description of a slippage of a soft fingertip by the proposed beam bundle model 7 Written by lead-ing experts in the field

Resource Management for Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-A SystemsThis SpringerBrief provides an in-depth look at the key issues that affect the performance of heterogeneous networks and presents schemes that can effectively tackle these issues. In par-ticular, this book discusses unbalanced traffic load among the macro and micro Base Stations (BSs) caused by the transmit power disparity, and a load-balancing based mobile association scheme to balance the traffic load among the macro and micro BSs. This book also introduces a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) scheme with proper power control to help reduce interference at the UEs which are most vulnerable to such intra-cell interference. The last section investigates radio resource allocation issues for heterogeneous networks with cooperative relays, and proposes a resource allocation framework that could achieve proportional fairness among the UEs. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effective-ness of the proposed solutions in tackling the problem and improving network performance.

Flow and Heat and Mass Transfer in Laminar and Turbulent Mist Gas-Droplets Stream over a Flat PlateIn this book the author presents selected challeng-es of thermal-hydraulics modeling of two-phase flows in minichannels with change of phase. These encompass the common modeling of flow boiling and flow condensation using the same expres-sion. Approaches to model these two respective cases show, however, that experimental data show different results to those obtained by methods of calculation of heat transfer coefficient for respec-tive cases. Partially that can be devoted to the fact that there are non-adiabatic effects present in both types of phase change phenomena which modify the pressure drop due to friction, responsible for appropriate modelling. The modification of inter-face shear stresses between flow boiling and flow condensation in case of annular flow structure may be considered through incorporation of the so called blowing parameter, which differentiates between these two modes of heat transfer. On the other hand, in case of bubbly flows, the generation of bubbles also modifies the friction pressure drop by the influence of heat flux.

International Operations NetworksAlthough the area of International Manufactur-ing Network (IMN) and International Opera-tions Network (ION) has received considerable attention in the literature, most of studies appear multifaceted and interdisciplinary, and thereby re-quire thorough investigation from both academic and practical perspectives, in order to deepen our related understanding. The book seeks advanced contributions that will combine theoretical insights and empirical experience by offering a detailed examination of IMN and, further, ION from various perspectives. This book can be used as a reference material for scholar-practitioners, business executives, and university researchers who need to deepen their understanding on the importance and influence of IMN and ION as well as their development. The book is important because there are few reference/resource materials available related to IMN and ION.

Smart Anomaly Detection for Sensor SystemsComputational Intelligence Techniques for Sensor Networks and Applications

Like in the ecosystems of Nature, raw sensing is of little use unless we are also able to form higher-level interpretations of the collected data. How can we assess whether the sensed data is accurate? How can we tell whether a peculiar set of data arises from genuine conditions or is due to a faulty set of sensors? What is the normal operating condition of a digital sensor system? When is a deviation from normality to be interpreted as anomaly? This book explores the emerging area of sensor systems and applications from the particu-lar perspective of anomaly detection.

Those mean-ings are deeply related to the emotions perceived by the users. This book investigates the findings deriving from the neurosciences that are relevant to design. Drawing upon up-to-date neurosci-entific knowledge, the authors define what an emotion is, examine the relationship between perceptions and emotions, and discuss the role of metaphoric communication. Particular atten-tion is paid to those elements of perception and metaphoric interpretation that cause the emotions to rise. Consequences for the design process are then considered, and a design process is proposed that takes into account emotional impacts as one of the goals.

Features 7 Explains the importance of the neurosciences for designers, based on findings regarding emo-tions and perception 7 Proposes a design pro-cess model in which emotional impacts are among the goals 7 Includes a rich collection of examples of successful design artifacts and illustrations

Contents Emotions and design methodologies.- Design as evolutionary discipline.- Emotions and design.- Perception and emotions.- Metaphors and design.- Consequences on the design process.- Case studies.

Mechanical Properties of CeramicsThis book discusses the mechanical properties of ceramics and aims to provide both a solid background for undergraduate students, as well as serving as a text to bring practicing engineers up to date with the latest developments in this topic so they can use and apply these to their actual engineering work. Generally, ceramics are made by moistening a mixture of clays, casting it into desired shapes and then firing it to a high temperature, a process known as ‘vitrification’. The relatively late development of metallurgy was contingent on the availability of ceramics and the know-how to mold them into the appropriate forms.

Features 7 Presents a general review of the mechanical properties of ceramics and aims to provide an overall understanding of the subject 7 Surveys the various behaviors characteristic of ceramics in response to applied forces 7 Includes many examples

Guided Self-Organization: InceptionIs it possible to guide the process of self-or-ganisation towards specific patterns and out-comes? Wouldn’t this be self-contradictory? After all, a self-organising process assumes a transition into a more organised form, or towards a more structured functionality, in the absence of central-ised control. Then how can we place the guiding elements so that they do not override rich choices potentially discoverable by an uncontrolled pro-cess? This book presents different approaches to resolving this paradox. In doing so, the presented studies address a broad range of phenomena, ranging from autopoietic systems to morphologi-cal computation, and from small-world networks to information cascades in swarms. A large variety of methods is employed, from spontaneous symmetry breaking to information dynamics to evolutionary algorithms, creating a rich spectrum reflecting this emerging field.

Features 7 Captures the most representative approaches of the emerging field of guided self-organization, and covers its development over the last few years 7 Includes in-depth reviews and descrip-tions of future research in the most important guided self-organization areas 7 Offers a com-prehensive perspective on guided self-organization at the early years of this emerging field 7 Edited and written by leading experts in the field

Feature Profile Evolution in Plasma Processing Using On-wafer Monitoring SystemThis book provides for the first time a good under-standing of the etching profile technologies that do not disturb the plasma. Three types of sensors are introduced: on-wafer UV sensors, on-wafer charge-up sensors and on-wafer sheath-shape sensors in the plasma processing and prediction system of real etching profiles based on monitor-ing data. Readers are made familiar with these sensors, which can measure real plasma process surface conditions such as defect generations due to UV-irradiation, ion flight direction due to charge-up voltage in high-aspect ratio structures and ion sheath conditions at the plasma/surface interface. The plasma etching profile realistically predicted by a computer simulation based on output data from these sensors is described.

Nonlinear Mechanics of Thin-Walled StructuresAsymptotics, Direct Approach and Numerical Analysis

This book presents a hybrid approach to the mechanics of thin bodies. Classical theories of rods, plates and shells with constrained shear are based on asymptotic splitting of the equations and boundary conditions of three-dimensional elastic-ity. The asymptotic solutions become accurate as the thickness decreases, and the three-dimensional fields of stresses and displacements can be deter-mined. The analysis includes practically important effects of electromechanical coupling and material inhomogeneity. The extension to the geometrically nonlinear range uses the direct approach based on the principle of virtual work.

Features 7 Hybrid approach is for the first time applied to thin-walled rods of open profile 7 Simulations in Wolfram Mathematica environment on the basis of high level theoretical investigations will make the book attractive 7 A combination of modern analytical methods leads to trustworthy and transparent results even for electromechanically coupled problems
