Mobile communication systems rely on radiofrequency waves to
operate. Given the popularity and ubiquity of mobile communication
devices as well as network densification, the level of
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) exposure to the public is expected to
rise significantly over the next few years. Although there is no
clear evidence linking short-term exposure to EMF emission from
wireless communication systems with adverse health effects, the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded
that EMF radiation is possibly carcinogenic. To cope with the
concerns of the general public, the European Environmental Agency
has recommended non-technical precautionary approaches to minimize
exposure to EMF emissions. Rather than relying on these
non-technical approaches, EMF, latency, network resilience and
connection density, alongside traditional criteria such as spectral
efficiency and energy efficiency are expected to take centre stage
in the development of 5G systems. This book focuses on innovative
EMF exposure research for future generations of mobile and wireless
communications. This timely publication highlights the novel work
done on reducing EMF emissions in future mobile communication
systems and how to develop smart integrated technical solutions.
In today's modern world, the manufacturing industry is embracing an
energy-efficient initiative and adopting green techniques. One

grinding fluid and waste large quantities. In order to remain
sustainable and efficient, in-depth research is necessary to study
green grinding technologies that can ensure machining precision and
surface quality of workpiece and reduce grinding fluid-induced
environmental pollution. Enhanced Heat Transfer Mechanism of

A software architecture manifests the major early design
decisions, which determine the system's development, deployment and
evolution. Thus, making better architectural decisions is one of
the large challenges in software engineering. Software architecture
knowledge management is about capturing practical experience and
translating it into generalized architectural knowledge, and using
this knowledge in the communication with stakeholders during all
phases of the software lifecycle.
This book presents a concise description of knowledge management
in the software architecture discipline. It explains the importance
of sound knowledge management practices for improving software
architecture processes and products, and makes clear the role of

The Holy Qur,an was the revealation given to Prophet Muhammad
(P.B.U.H.) from Allah (God)by way of the Angel Gabriel (S.R.A.)

Written by the refugees themselves, this highly original anthology
of Palestinians forced to live outside their homeland brings
together stories of what it means to be exiled, reflections on the
events that led to being displaced, and the raw experience of daily
life in a camp. The 11 lives given voice here are unique, each an
expression of the myriad displacements that war and occupation have
forced upon Palestinians since the Nakba of 1948. At the same time,
they form a collective testament of a people driven from their
homes and land by colonial occupation. Each story is singular; and
each tells the story of all Palestinians. As Edward Said argued in
1984, the object of Israel's colonial warfare is not only
material-seeking to minimise Palestinian existence as such-but is
also a narrative project that aims to obliterate Palestinian
history "as possessed of a coherent narrative direction pointed
towards self-determination." In these pages, Palestinian refugees
narrate their own histories. The product of a creative-writing
workshop organized by the Institute for Palestine Studies in
Lebanon, 11 Lives tells of children's adventures in the alleyways
of refugee camps, of teenage martyrs and ghosts next-door, of an
UNRWA teacher's dismay at the shallowness of her colleagues, and of
the love, labour, and land that form the threads of a red keffiyeh.
What unites these 11 stories is "the inadmissible existence of the
Palestinian people" highlighted by Said. Their words persist, as
one contributor writes, "between the Nakba and the Naksa,
throughout defeats and massacres, love affairs and revolutions."
The stories of Palestinians in exile are also open-ended, and will
continue to reverberate across borders until Palestine is free.

countercultural figure due to a provocative and entertaining
nature, and also examines how he was with those closest to him
while at the top of his game.
The widespread use of mobile internet and smart applications has
led to an explosive growth in mobile data traffic, which will
continue due to the emerging need of connecting people, machines,
and applications in an ubiquitous manner through the mobile
infrastructure. The efficient and satisfactory operation of all
these densely deployed networks hinges on a suitable backhaul and
fronthaul provisioning. The research community is working to
provide innovative technologies with extensive performance
evaluation metrics along with the required standardisation
milestones, hardware and components for a fully deployed network by
2020 and beyond. Access, Fronthaul and Backhaul Networks for 5G
& Beyond provides an overview from both academic and industrial
stakeholders of innovative backhaul/fronthaul solutions. Covering a
wide spectrum of underlying themes ranging from the recent thrust
in edge caching for backhaul relaxation to mmWave-based
fronthauling for radio access networks, this book is essential
reading for engineers, researchers, designers, architects,
technicians, students and service providers in the field of
networking, mobile and wireless and computing technologies working
towards the deployment of 5G networks.
The search for the 'furniture of the mind' has acquired added
impetus with the rise of new technologies to study the brain and
identify its main structures and processes. Philosophers and
scientists are increasingly concerned to understand the ways in
which psychological functions relate to brain structures.
Meanwhile, the taxonomic practices of cognitive scientists are
coming under increased scrutiny, as researchers ask which of them
identify the real kinds of cognition and which are mere vestiges of
folk psychology. Muhammad Ali Khalidi present a naturalistic
account of 'real kinds' to validate some central taxonomic
categories in the cognitive domain, including concepts, episodic
memory, innateness, domain specificity, and cognitive bias. He
argues that cognitive kinds are often individuated relationally,
with reference to the environment and etiology of the thinking
subject, whereas neural kinds tend to be individuated
intrinsically, resulting in crosscutting relationships among
cognitive and neural categories.
This comprehensive book focuses on the basic physical features and
purpose of nanofluids and miniature heat sinks. The contents
demonstrate the design modification, fabrication, experimental
investigation, and various applications of miniature heat sinks.
The book provides context for thermal performance of miniature heat
sinks as well as summaries of experimental results correlations
that reflect the current technical innovations are included. This
book is a useful reference for both academia and industry alike.
This book describes the importance of heat transfer in heat
exchangers, and fluids properties play a vital role to increase
heat transfer rate translating the size of the equipment and cuts
in the capital and running cost in the long term. Nanofluids
applications in heat exchangers will help to improve the
thermophysical properties of the fluid and therefore heat transfer.
And, this book explains the enhancing mechanisms of heat transfer
by employing nanofluids in heat exchangers. A critical discussion
will enable to estimate the pros and cons of such fluids in
different types of heat exchangers. Prevailing working conditions
for short- and long-term implementation of various types of
nanofluids will be discussed and introduced to the readers. This
book helps the researchers, scientist and academicians working in
the domain to be able to get a comprehensive knowledge at one place
regarding the preparation, properties, measurements, data
reduction, characteristics and applications of nanofluids in heat
exchangers.
