A groundbreaking resource for remote study of interactive electronics applications

The widespread use of the Internet as a communication medium has opened up a broad range of possibilities for extending its use into new areas. One such area is remote education, a rapidly growing part of today’s university curricula. Using the Internet and Web technology, courses can be offered to students anywhere in the world with no more technical requirements than a personal computer and an Internet connection. Until recently however, lab courses have been considered impractical for remote access. But thanks to technical advances of the past decade, even these courses with their often complex interactive techniques have been made accessible to remote students.

Lab on the Web: Running Real Electronics Experiments via the Internet is the first text to present, in detail, experiments that can be run over the Web, specifically in the area of electronics. The authors present detailed descriptions of approximately 100 experiments in solid state electronics that can be used by engineering and science students at all levels, anywhere in the world, as well as by researchers working on semiconductor devices.

Topics covered include:

• Electronics laboratory experiments accessible through the Internet
• MIT Microelectronics WebLab
• Instrumentation on the Web
• Next Generation Laboratory: a solution for remote characterization of analog integrated circuits
• A Remote Lab for electrical experiments
• The Remote Lab as it can be applied to semiconductor devices

The book has achieved widespread collaboration that will enable universities around the world to participate in these remote access experiments. Enhanced by interactive Web sites which will accommodate a growing array of experimental modules from participating institutions, the text opens up a virtual Pandora’s box of possibilities for students to access a wide variety of real experiments, and for institutions, jointly or individually, to establish their own remote laboratory sites.

Collecting and Conserving Net Art explores the qualities and characteristics of net art and its influence on conservation practices. By addressing and answering some of the challenges facing net art and providing an exploration of its intersection with conservation, the book casts a new light on net art, conservation, curating and museum studies. Viewing net art as a process rather than as a fixed object, the book considers how this is influenced by and executed through other systems and users. Arguing that these processes and networks are imbued with ambiguity, the book suggests that this is strategically used to create suspense, obfuscate existing systems and disrupt power structures. The rapid obsolescence of hard and software, the existence of many net artworks within restricted platforms and the fact that artworks often act as assemblages that change or mutate, make net art a challenging case for conservation. Taking the performative and interpretive roles conservators play into account, the book demonstrates how practitioners can make more informed decisions when responding to, critically analysing or working with net art, particularly software-based processes. Collecting and Conserving Net Art is intended for researchers, academics and postgraduate students, especially those engaged in the study of museum studies, conservation and heritage studies, curatorial studies, digital art and art history. The book should also be interesting to professionals who are involved in the conservation and curation of digital arts, performance, media and software.

Chris Stringman gambled, and lost, GBP130,000, destroying his savings, losing his car, and almost his house...but he managed to escape his addiction just before he fell over the precipice. This is not a book about how to win, rather a book about how not to lose. Chris Stringman's personal demon was financial spread-betting - where punters trade on the price movement of a particular market. He explains how it operates, how it sucks gamblers in and keeps them there, and how it nearly cost him everything.He also takes a look at high-street bookies, fruit machines, casinos, poker and bingo, and then goes on to answer some important questions: How do we gamble? Why do we gamble? How can we spot the signs in others? How can we help them? Chris Stringman writes from the heart and tells it like it is in this searingly honest, and highly readable work. It entertains as well as educates - essentially a self-help book for the delusional gambler.

This book explores the digitization of culture as a means of experiencing and understanding cultural heritage in Namibia and from international perspectives. It provides various views and perspectives on the digitization of culture, the goal being to stimulate further research, and to rapidly disseminate related discoveries. Aspects covered here include: virtual and augmented reality, audio and video technology, art, multimedia and digital media integration, cross-media technologies, modeling, visualization and interaction as a means of experiencing and grasping cultural heritage. Over the past few decades, digitization has profoundly changed our cultural experience, not only in terms of digital technology-based access, production and dissemination, but also in terms of participation and creation, and learning and partaking in a knowledge society. Computing researchers have developed a wealth of new digital systems for preserving, sharing and interacting with cultural resources. The book provides important information and tools for policy makers, knowledge experts, cultural and creative industries, communication scientists, professionals, educators, librarians and artists, as well as computing scientists and engineers conducting research on cultural topics.

This textbook characterizes the economics of telecommunication services from an engineering perspective. The authors bring out the fundamental drivers of the industry and characterize networks from a graph theoretic perspective, including random, small world, and scale free networks. The authors relate the topology of a telecommunication network using circuit and packet switched architectures to throughput and other performance parameters. The pricing model proposed in this book is based on the cost of displaced opportunity as opposed to the cost of the elements of the network engaged in delivering a service. The displaced opportunity is characterized by the revenue associated with the service that the network could have alternatively delivered most efficiently using an identical level of resources. The book addresses other topics such as regulation in legacy networks, and net neutrality. Finally, the book introduces the application of game theory in a multi-vendor, multi-services competitive marketplace. The book aims to bridge the gap between the science of economics as practiced by economists and practice of pricing from a telecommunication engineer's perspective. This book is suitable for use by senior undergraduate or graduate students of telecommunication engineering or researchers and practitioners in telecommunication engineering.
