Recent advances in information and communication technologies have enhanced the standards of metropolitan planning and development. With the increase in mobile communication, this will help to deliver innovative new services and apps in the field of urban e-planning. New Approaches, Methods, and Tools in Urban E-Planning is a key resource for the latest academic research on recent innovations in urban e-planning, citizen e-participation, the use of social media, and new forms of data collection and idea generation for urban planning. Presenting broad coverage among a variety of pertinent views and themes such as ethnography, e-consultation, and civic engagement, this book is ideally designed for planners, policymakers, researchers, and graduate students interested in how recent technological advancements are enhancing the traditional practices in e-planning.

Mechanics - Microstructure - Corrosion Coupling: Concepts, Experiments, Modeling and Cases presents the state-of-the-art on scientific and technological developments relating to the durability of materials and structures subjected to mechanical and environmental stress in industries such as energy, aeronautics, chemistry and oil. Experimental, theoretical and numerical aspects are tackled at different scales, providing readers with the most advanced tools and scientific approaches to apprehend coupling phenomena by understanding associated mechanisms, identifying variables of the first order, and proposing strategies to control and/or extend the lifespan of structures in a multi-process coupling situation. In addition, the book presents the latest advances in research in these areas (hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, fatigue, etc.), especially in the consideration of the multi-scale aspect of the phenomena in the implementation of dedicated experiments.

The word "nano agriculture" refers to the infusion of nanotechnology concepts and principles in agricultural sciences so as to develop processes and products that precisely deliver inputs and promote productivity without associated environmental harm. Nano Agriculture is quite appropriate in India in the context of changing scenarios in agricultural production systems which in the verge of transformation towards precision agriculture.

This book has been written for the under-graduate students of Dairy Technology course being offered by different Dairy Science Colleges and various Agricultural and Deemed Universities across the country.

Wireless and Cellular Communications explains aspects of the wireless industry and presents in-depth treatment of radio propagation modeling, atmospheric and weather impacts, multipath, Doppler effect, fading and shadowing. The book covers important radio technologies such as CDMA and OFDMA, outlines their principles as well as their applications to modern radio standards like LTE 4G, 5G, and their network architectures. About the author: Dr. Thomas Schwengler is a principal architect at CenturyLink; he held positions as director of RF engineering at Qwest Wireless, senior staff engineer at US WEST Advanced Technologies, and research engineer at France Telecom R&D.
