Ais ich dieses Buch im Jahre 1920 zum ersten lYIale herausgab, folgte ich vielfach geapBerten Wiinschen, die von mir fiir die Firma Siemens & Halske geschriebenen Technischen Anweisungen iiber Wechselstrom-Leistungsmessungen weitesten Kreisen in geschlossener Form zuganglich zu machen. Bei dieser Entwicklung konnten naturgemaB nur Siemens-Apparate in dem Buch be schrieben werden. Da diese jedoch nur als Ausfiihrungsbeispiele fiir den im iibrigen allgemein behandelten Stoff dienen und sich die Fabrikate anderer Firmen von den beschriebenen nicht prin zipiell, sondern nur in konstruktiven Einzelheiten unterscheiden, ist die Beschrankung auf ein Fabrikat belanglos. Diese Behand lungsweise bietet vielmehr den Vorteil, daB das ganze Gebiet an einer einheitlich durchgebildeten Reihe von MeBgeraten be sprochen werden kann und daB statt allgemeiner Angaben iiberall festliegende Zahlen gebracht werden konnen. Um den hierdurch gegebenen Gebrauchswert des Buches zu erhalten, sind auch in der zweiten und in der vorliegenden dritten Auflage als Aus fiihrungsbeispiele im allgemeinen nur Siemens-MeBgerate gebracht. Im iibrigen ist jedoch das Buch seit dem ersten Erscheinen voll standig umgearbeitet worden. In der vorliegenden drittw Auflage ist der Stoff nach allgemein giiltigen Gesichtspunkten neu aufgebaut und gegliedert worden. Hierdurch ergab sich die Moglichkeit, das Gemeinsame der ver schiedenen MeBgerate zusammenzufassen und einheitlich zu be handeIn. So wird beispielsweise erst die Bauart der verschiedenen MeBwerke der Leistungsmesser geschlossen behandelt, dann werden die Ausfiihrungsmoglichkeiten der Innenschaltung und endlich die fiir die Messungen erforderliche Berechnung der Kon stanten in allgemein geltender Form gebracht."

Urban Mobility and the Smartphone: Transportation, Travel Behavior and Public Policy provides a global synthesis of the transformation of urban mobility by the smartphone, clarifying the definitions of new concepts and objects in mobility studies, accounting for the changes in transportation and travel behavior triggered by the spread of the smartphone, and discussing the implications of these changes for policy-making and research. Urban mobility is approached here as a system of actors: the perspectives of individual behavior (including lifestyles), the supply of mobility services (including actors, business models), and public policy-making are considered. The book is based on an extensive review of the academic literature as well as systematic observation of the development of smartphone-based mobility services around the world. In addition, case studies provide practical illustrations of the ongoing transformation of mobility services influenced by the dissemination of smartphones. The book not only consolidates existing research, but also picks up on weak signals that help researchers and practitioners anticipate future changes in urban mobility systems. Key Features * Synthesizes existing research into one reference, providing researchers and policy-makers with a clear and complete understanding of the changes triggered by the spread of the smartphone. * Analyzes numerous case studies throughout developed and developing countries providing practical illustrations of the influence of the smartphone on travel behavior, transportation systems, and policy-making. * Provides insights for researchers and practitioners looking to engage with the "smart cities" and "smart mobility" discourse.

The current state-of-art in securing computers and data is tantamount to an arms race between the attackers on one hand and the software developers who have to provide the updates to counteract the attacks on the other. This monograph introduces a novel technique for designing secure protocols with provable security guarantees for wireless ad-hoc networks infiltrated with adversarial nodes. It does this by developing a system-theoretical approach to secure protocol design that provides provable and comprehensive security guarantees, where any features of a protocol that reduce complexity or maximize the network throughput do not come at the expense of security. The desired approach is one of security first and performance second, which is the reverse of the current approach. This novel approach uses a game-theoretic framework that addresses the deficiencies in the defense-in-depth approach to securing complex systems. A Clean Slate Approach to Secure Wireless Networking describes in detail the theory of using this approach in both closed synchronized and unsynchronized networks. It will be of interest to all researchers and designers working on securing wireless networks.

What is at stake socially, culturally, politically, and economically when we routinely use technology to gather information about our bodies and environments? Today anyone can purchase technology that can track, quantify, and measure the body and its environment. Wearable or portable sensors detect heart rates, glucose levels, steps taken, water quality, genomes, and microbiomes, and turn them into electronic data. Is this phenomenon empowering, or a new form of social control? Who volunteers to enumerate bodily experiences, and who is forced to do so? Who interprets the resulting data? How does all this affect the relationship between medical practice and self care, between scientific and lay knowledge? Quantified examines these and other issues that arise when biosensing technologies become part of everyday life. The book offers a range of perspectives, with views from the social sciences, cultural studies, journalism, industry, and the nonprofit world. The contributors consider data, personhood, and the urge to self-quantify; legal, commercial, and medical issues, including privacy, the outsourcing of medical advice, and self-tracking as a "paraclinical" practice; and technical concerns, including interoperability, sociotechnical calibration, alternative views of data, and new space for design.
