This book focuses on details of antenna technology that can have broad applications in radar and communications. Most of the material in this book derives from Alan Fenn's 40 years of experience and research at MIT Lincoln Labs, and contains a large portion of previously unpublished information and real-world results. It covers the design, fabrication, modeling, simulation and testing of 11 antenna types, including dual-polarized wideband v-dipole antennas, dual-polarized four-quad loop/dipole antennas, and monocone/loop antennas. A background in electromagnetic field theory, radar and communication would be helpful, but prior knowledge of antennas is not essential to understand the content of this book. The first chapter introduces EM and antenna theory in great mathematical details and provides examples of important derivations and equations, and the following section elaborates on the fundamentals of phased array antennas and the formulation of the method of moments. This will provide the reader with a solid foundation for understanding the antenna design presented later in the book.

Modeling with Stochastic Programming

nidottu
This is an updated version of what is still the only text to address basic questions about how to model uncertainty in mathematical programming, including how to reformulate a deterministic model so that it can be analyzed in a stochastic setting. This second edition has important extensions regarding how to represent random phenomena in the models (also called scenario generation) as well as a new chapter on multi-stage models. This text would be suitable as a stand-alone or supplement for a second course in OR/MS or in optimization-oriented engineering disciplines where the instructor wants to explain where models come from and what the fundamental modeling issues are. The book is easy-to-read, highly illustrated with lots of examples and discussions. It will be suitable for graduate students and researchers working in operations research, mathematics, engineering and related departments where there is interest in learning how to model uncertainty. Alan King is a Research Staff Member at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York. Stein W. Wallace is a Professor of Operational Research and head of Center for Shipping and Logistics at NHH Norwegian School of Economics, Bergen, Norway.

Drama, Performance, and Polity in Pre-Cromwellian Ireland
Alan J. Fletcher
University of Toronto Press
2000
sidottu
The Irish contribution to world theatre is famous, but today awareness of Irish theatrical activity is chiefly confined to the modern period. This book corrects that imbalance with an unparalleled study of the early history of drama and performance in Ireland, from the seventh century through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and ending on the eve of the arrival of Oliver Cromwell. The work of professional entertainers is discussed, as is that of amateurs, in theatricals sponsored by churches, guilds, civic authorities, and aristocratic patrons. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, many unpublished, Alan Fletcher opens up a vibrant but forgotten Irish landscape in which drama and performance collaborated actively in the mapping and manufacture of social history. Modern Irish drama is acknowledged as having a rich and vibrant tradition. Drama, Performance and Polity in Pre-Cromwellian Ireland helps to show how that vibrant tradition of drama and theatre has a very long history. Dr. Fletcher deals not only with performance traditions outside the Pale in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but for the first time delves into such traditions as can be gleaned about Gaelic Ireland during the preceding millennium. Fletcher surveys the 'native' traditions beyond the Pale; early and sixteenth-century activities within Dublin; Kilkenny drama; provincial centres outside Dublin; and Dublin in the seventeenth century up to the arrival of Oliver Cromwell, when the Irish theatres were closed.
Starting with the nature of information, it goes on to explain all the ideas behind information measurement, signals, digital coding, modulation, optical transmission along fibres, optical detectors, demodulation, system design, networking and non-linear optics. A final chapter, on more advanced topics, brings the reader up-to-date with recent developments. This is an introductory-level book for sales and marketing personnel, business managers in telecommunications, technicians and college or university students interested in the ideas behind the telecommunications medium of the future. No more than GCSE physics is required.
A fascinating book that is much more than a tragic personal story, more than a picture of how brain injuries will strain relationships with family, co-workers, health care professionals and a legal system not adequately empowered to respond to an individual's needs, let alone the thousands who have suffered long after their initial injury. All too often it seems few are able to overcome the adversities of such situations, to move on with their life, or to ultimately find a peace within themselves… but Alan J Cooper has done that with this book, reflecting on his life, so that his words may offer help and guidance to the many brain-injured people and their loved ones.
