There is a growing desire to install electronic power and control systems in high temperature harsh environments to improve the accuracy of critical measurements, reduce the amount of cabling and to eliminate cooling systems. Typical target applications include electronics for energy exploration, power generation and control systems. Technical topics presented in this book include:* High temperature electronics market* High temperature devices, materials and assembly processes* Design, manufacture and testing of multi-sensor data acquisition system for aero-engine control* Future applications for high temperature electronicsHigh Temperature Electronics Design for Aero Engine Controls and Health Monitoring contains details of state of the art design and manufacture of electronics targeted towards a high temperature aero-engine application. High Temperature Electronics Design for Aero Engine Controls and Health Monitoring is ideal for design, manufacturing and test personnel in the aerospace and other harsh environment industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in electronics engineering, materials science and aerospace engineering.

The second edition of the "Concise Dictionary of Library and Information Science" is an international, comprehensive introduction to the vocabulary of library and information science. It is a practical day-to-day tool that will help to explain clearly and concisely over 5,000 terms used in the profession. The second edition has been completely revised and approximately 2,000 new terms added, mostly in the fields of computers and telecommunications, reflecting the growth of the Internet and its impact on the profession.

All the terms are arranged in one alphabetical sequence, still incorporating the six themes present in the first edition: Information sources; Information handling; Computers and Telecommunications; Management; Research methodology; Publishing

In addition the dictionary offers full definitions for all synonymous terms and acronyms.
