This book describes modern focused ion beam microscopes and
techniques and how they can be used to aid materials metrology and
as tools for the fabrication of devices that in turn are used in
many other aspects of fundamental metrology. Beginning with a
description of the currently available instruments including the
new addition to the field of plasma-based sources, it then gives an
overview of ion solid interactions and how the different types of
instrument can be applied. Chapters then describe how these
machines can be applied to the field of materials science and
device fabrication giving examples of recent and current activity
in both these areas.
This book examines medical care in Ireland from 1750-1950, through
the prisms of state provision, professionalisation and the
experiences of health and illness. It includes analyses and
discussions of quacks and cures, contraception, the history of
suicide, the role of the coroners' courts, and the treatment of
criminal lunatics.
This timely book is a comprehensive treatment of managing mobility
in wireless networks. Significant new insight is also provided into
solutions to file allocation problems, specifically data
replication, faced in distributed database systems by Computer
Scientists. Some of the solutions are applications from the general
facility location problems in Operations Research.
The authors thoroughly investigate replication for hierarchical
mobility management where the underlying network forms a tree-like
structure. Various problem formulations are considered that provide
new insight into more comprehensive solutions. The off-line
replication problem is reduced to problems in discrete location
theory for which efficient dynamic programming solutions exist for
tree networks. To solve the on-line replication problem, a unified
framework is established that provides unique visual representation
of the overall solution structure. This framework not only
demonstrates the correspondence between two previously proposed
on-line algorithms but also provides the basis for new algorithms
and expands the applicability of the original problem formulation.
All algorithms derived in this book have been implemented and
simulated using realistic traffic models. Their performance is
compared with previously proposed algorithms.
Mobility Management In Wireless Networks: Data Replication
Strategies and Applications is an excellent reference for
engineers, computer scientists, operations researchers and others
working in mobility management as well as in related fields
including distributed database systems, data management and
facility location.
This volume examines the relationship between migration, health and
illness in a global context from c.1820 to the present day.
Bringing together leading scholars from the history of medicine and
social policy, it assesses the changing health status of migrant
groups in a period encompassing Imperial expansion, decolonisation
and new waves of economic and political migration in the twentieth
century. Focusing chiefly on the Anglophone world, the volume takes
a wide range of case studies to explore the themes of epidemic
disease and its containment, chronic illness and mental breakdown
in Britain, the US, Israel and the Caribbean. The concerns of the
volume echo and enable reflection upon the health challenges
experienced by migrants and countries of destinations in recent
years.
This book is an introductory system-level guide to 5G, a market
niche that existing books on 5G do not appear to address. By
reading the book, readers will understand the architecture of 5G,
the techniques used for radio transmission and reception, and the
overall operation of the system. They will then be able to tackle
the specifications and more advanced books with confidence.
This series presents research utilizing laboratory experimental
methods in economics. A distinction between this book series and
traditional journals is that the book series format allows for
papers and features that might not be appropriate for journals.
Some examples which have been included in this series are: papers
with complete presentation of experimental instructions and data,
papers which report replication and robustness results,
methodological papers, and theoretical papers motivated
specifically by experimentation. The series currently consists of
two different types of volumes. Some volumes are open-submission
covering all topics. The papers in these volumes are reviewed
externally. The other volumes, recently undertaken and with Prof.
Charles Holt as a co-editor, are focused on a single, broad
research topic with papers solicited and reviewed by the
co-editors.
