This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. The third
edition of this indispensable book in radio interferometry provides
extensive updates to the second edition, including results and
technical advances from the past decade; discussion of arrays that
now span the full range of the radio part of the electromagnetic
spectrum observable from the ground, 10 MHz to 1 THz; an analysis
of factors that affect array speed; and an expanded discussion of
digital signal-processing techniques and of scintillation phenomena
and the effects of atmospheric water vapor on image distortion,
among many other topics. With its comprehensiveness and detailed
exposition of all aspects of the theory and practice of radio
interferometry and synthesis imaging, this book has established
itself as a standard reference in the field. It begins with an
overview of the basic principles of radio astronomy, a short
history of the development of radio interferometry, and an
elementary discussion of the operation of an interferometer. From
this foundation, it delves into the underlying relationships of
interferometry, sets forth the coordinate systems and parameters to
describe synthesis imaging, and examines configurations of antennas
for multielement synthesis arrays. Various aspects of the design
and response of receiving systems are discussed, as well as the
special requirements of very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI),
image reconstruction, and recent developments in image enhancement
techniques and astrometric observations. Also discussed are
propagation effects in the media between the source and the
observer, and radio interference, factors that limit performance.
Related techniques are introduced, including intensity
interferometry, optical interferometry, lunar occultations,
tracking of satellites in Earth orbit, interferometry for remote
Earth sensing, and holographic measurements of antenna surfaces.
This book will benefit anyone who is interested in radio
interferometry techniques for astronomy, astrometry, geodesy, or
electrical engineering.
This edited book provides an insight into the new approaches,
challenges and opportunities that characterise open source
intelligence (OSINT) at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
It does so by considering the impacts of OSINT on three important
contemporary security issues: nuclear proliferation, humanitarian
crises and terrorism.

Offering a new perspective on the widely discussed debate on how
the international community would respond to a nuclear-armed Iran,
this critical research challenges the prevailing wisdom that a
nuclear Iran would provoke a nuclear proliferation cascade in the
Middle East.Hobbs and Moran assess the proliferation calculus of
four key countries, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Syria, as well
exploring the possibility that Iran would transfer nuclear
materials to terrorists groups. The authors conclude that a nuclear
domino effect would be highly unlikely, even in the face of an
Iranian bomb, thus undermining one of the major arguments used in
support of pre-emptive military action against Iran's nuclear
facilities.A range of policy measures are outlined, that could be
enacted by the international community to further reduce the risk
of a regional proliferation cascade, making this text a must-read
for policy makers, security and international relations scholars
and all those with an interest in the Middle East.
The financial services revolution has transformed what was once a
backwater into a glamorous and dangerous part of modern economies.
Intense competition and ferocious struggles for advantage in world
markets are the signs of revolutionary change. Michael Moran's book
breaks new ground by examining the politics of that revolution.
Moran compares the struggles between private interests and public
agencies in three great world financial centres - New York, London
and Tokyo.

The use of phones in the classroom is a controversial topic that
receives a variety of reactions and can have political
ramifications. In various school districts across different states,
as well as in some countries, cell phone usage has been banned in
the classroom to combat what administrators say is a distracted
student population. However, research demonstrates that cell phones
can have a positive effect on learning and engagement. Instead of
banning cell phones, some teachers have found ways to incorporate
educational apps, gaming apps, and social media into course
materials. Although much research has emerged involving the
integration of technology and digital literacies in English
language arts (ELA) classrooms, mobile phone use as a discrete
construct has not been explored widely. Affordances and Constraints
of Mobile Phone Use in English Language Arts Classrooms aims to
shine a light on the controversial topic of mobile phones in the
English language arts classroom, focusing on comparing the
opportunities that they afford students, as well as the negative
effects they can have on learning. The chapters within this book
examine learning outcomes, best practices, and practical
applications for using mobile phones in ELA and adds to the body of
literature on mobile phone use in secondary classrooms in general,
standing as a unique resource on mobile phones in the language arts
curriculum. While highlighting topics that include gaming
applications, online learning, student engagement, and classroom
management, this book is ideally designed for inservice and
preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators,
practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students who are interested in learning more about the pluses and
minuses of mobile phone use in ELA.

Before Peter M. Moran was old enough to walk, he took a trip
around the world that few people ever experience. Over the next
thirty-plus years, he embarked on a journey of discovery that,
although unique, many can relate to.
Moran was born in Seoul, South Korea, and was adopted by an
American family at the age of seven months. When he arrived at his
new home in Minneapolis, he was met by an older sister, the
couple's biological child, and he later became brother to three
more adopted children.
"Fish Heads and Folktales" is Moran's autobiographical account
of growing up with dual identities as a Korean boy adopted by a
Caucasian family, and the path that led him not only back to his
motherland to discover his roots, but also to take a closer look at
his life to discover acceptance and inner peace. A thoughtful,
entertaining collection of short stories that summarize Moran's
life journey, it delves into topical issues such as race, culture,
and overcoming stereotypes along with universal issues like the
importance of family and falling in love.
Sure to touch your heart, "Fish Heads and Folktales" is a
must-read for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or struggled
with fitting in.
The land that is now called Wisconsin has a place in weather
history. Its climate has ranged from tropical to polar over
hundreds of millions of years and even today, that s the seeming
difference between July and January here. And Wisconsinites have
played key roles in advancing the science of meterology and
climatology: Increase Lapham helped found the National Weather
Service in the nineteenth century; Eric Miller was the first to
broadcast regular weather reports on the radio in the 1920s; Verner
Suomi pioneered tracking weather by satellite; and Reid Bryson has
been a leader in studying global climate change.Wisconsin's Weather
and Climate is written for weather buffs, teachers, students,
outdoor enthusiasts, and those working in fields, lakes, and
forests for whom the weather is a daily force to be reckoned with.
It examines the physical features of Wisconsin that shape the state
s climate topography, mid-latitude location, and proximity to Lakes
Superior and Michigan and meteorological phenomena that affect
climate, such as atmospheric circulation and air mass frequency.
Authors Joseph M. Moran and Edward J. Hopkins trace the evolution
of methods of weather observation and forecasting that are so
important for agriculture and Great Lakes commerce, and they
explain how Wisconsin scientists use weather balloons, radar, and
satellites to improve forecasting and track climate changes. They
take readers through the seasonal changes in weather in Wisconsin
and give an overview of what past climate changes might tell us
about the future.Appendices provide climatic data for Wisconsin,
including extremes of temperature, snowfall, and precipitation at
selected stations in the state. The authors also list sources for
further information. Vignettes throughout the book provide
fascinating weather lore: o Why there are cacti in Wisconsino The
famous Green Bay Packers Dallas Cowboys "Ice Bowl" game of 1967o
The Army Signal Corps ban on the word tornadoo Advances in
snow-making technologyo The decline of the Great Lakes ice
industry"
Quantum entanglement, also called the quantum non-local connection,
is a property of the quantum mechanical state of a system
containing two or more objects, where the objects that make up the
system are linked in a way that one cannot adequately describe the
quantum state of a constituent of the system without full mention
of its counterparts, even if the individual objects are spatially
separated. Entanglement is one of the properties of quantum
mechanics that caused many physicists, including Albert Einstein,
to dislike this formulation of quantum mechanical theory. This book
presents current research in the study of quantum entanglement,
including entanglement in quantum-classical hybrids and quantum
entanglement using multi dark soliton correlation for multivariable
quantum routers.
Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions is about making
hard choices-where all outcomes are potentially negative. The
authors draw on interviews conducted with soldiers about the
situations they faced and the decisions they made at war. These are
vivid and sometimes distressing stories. They form the data from
which the authors explore the cognitive processes associated with
choice, commitment to action and (sometimes) error, as well as goal
directed thinking, innovation and courage. By referring to real
cases, Conflict invites readers to consider their own responses
under extreme circumstances and ask themselves how they would
choose between difficult options. In doing so this book will go
some way to helping readers understand what it feels like when
choosing between least-worst decisions.
