Introduction to Rf Equipment and System Design

Title :Introduction to Rf Equipment and System Design
Author : Pekka Eskelinen

An excellent resource for engineers and engineering students alike, this practical design guide offers you a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects and components of radio frequency equipment and systems. The book applies theoretical fundamentals to real-world issues, extensively using examples from recent design projects. You learn how to configure an effective receiver and transmitter architectures from commercial blocks, determine the most efficient ways of circumventing wave propagation problems in a real network, assemble a reliable test environment for an RF project, and make a design survive in the real operating environment.

Moreover, this handy reference shows you how to design a small instrumentation radar system and an airborne telemetry system. Other key discussions include circuits and components for system evaluations and design, RF measurement instrumentation, antennas and associated hardware, and guidelines for purchasing test equipment. The book also serves as a valuable on-the-job training resource for sales engineers and a graduate-level text for courses in this area.

Electrostatic Hazards

Title : Electrostatic Hazards
Author: Günter Luttgens, Norman Wilson
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
ISBN: 0750627824

In the US, UK and Europe there is in excess of one notifiable dust or electrostatic explosion every day of the year. This clearly makes the hazards associated with the handling of materials subject to either cause or react to electrostatic discharge of vital importance to anyone associated with their handling or industrial bulk use. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the dangers of static electricity and how to avoid them. It will prove invaluable to safety managers and professionals, as well as all personnel involved in the activities concerned, in the chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and petrochemical process industries.
The book makes extended use of case studies to illustrate the principles being expounded, thereby making it far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner in industry than the highly theoretical texts which are also available.
The authors have many years' experience in the area behind them, including the professional teaching of the content provided here. Günter Lüttgens is a widely acknowledged consultant who travels Europe providing training to major industrial corporations on this subject, whilst Norman Wilson practices what is written here in his professional capacity with the British Textile Technology Group.
Extended use of case studies to illustrate the principles.This makes the book far more open, accessible and attractive to the practitioner in industry than the highly theoretical texts also available.

Nuclear Energy

Title : Nuclear Energy
Author : Raymond L. Murray
Publisher: Butterworth Heinemann
ISBN : 0 - 7506 - 7136 - X
PDF | 516 pages | English

Nuclear Energy provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of nuclear science and technology to students, nuclear engineers, and anyone with a need for knowledge of nuclear processes.It features extensive references to world wide web sites.

The book has been updated for the new millennium by reporting important trends. Fundamentals of particle physics, nuclear reactions, fission, and fusion are followed by descriptions of the devices of nuclear energy accelerators, isotope separators, detectors, and reactors. Numerous beneficial applications of radiation in medicine, research, and industry are discussed. Other topics treated are the assurance of nuclear reactor safety, the status of radioactive waste disposal, international nuclear developments, effects of deregulation of the electricity industry, the relationship of nuclear reactors to global climate change, and the prevention of weapons proliferation. The concluding chapter examines prospects for nuclear power.

MRI in Clinical Practice

Title : MRI in Clinical Practice
Author : AL BOVIK
Publisher: Springer
ISBN : 1 - 84628 - 161 - X
PDF | 150 pages | English

“MRI in Clinical Practice” provides an easily accessible source of reference material to supplement existing texts, distilling a wide breadth of theoretical and practical information into a pocket-sized manual. The book covers the basic Physics behind MRI, quality assurance, up-to-date safety guidelines and a useful gallery of image artefacts. Part of the book focuses on the specific areas of the body in which MRI is currently exploited, describing how MRI is performed in practice. As well as covering routine clinical techniques, the latest advanced methods (e.g. spectroscopy, fMRI, diffusion, high field MRI) are discussed and placed into the context of clinical application. Written from both a Physics and Radiological point-of-view, the book has a wide multidisciplinary appeal and is specifically targeted at MRI practitioners or trainees, as well as post-graduate students, physicists, radiographers and radiologists.

Biomedical Engineering Handbook

Title : Biomedical Engineering Handbook
Author : Joseph D. Bronzino
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN : 0 - 8493 - 0461 - X
PDF | 3189 pages | English

As we enter the new millennium, the prospects for the field of Biomedical Engineering are bright.
Individuals interested in pursuing careers in this field continue to increase and the fruits of medical innovation continue to yield both monetary rewards and patient well being. These trends are reflected in this second edition of the Biomedical Engineering Handbook.
When compared to the first edition published in 1995, this new two-volume set includes new sections on “Transport Phenomena and Biomimetic Systems” and “Ethical Issues Associated with Medical Technology”. In addition, over 60% of the chapters has been completely revised, incorporating the latest developments in the field. therefore, this second edition is truly an updated version of the “state-of-the-field of biomedical engineering”. As such, it can serve as an excellent reference for individuals interested not only in a review of fundamental physiology, but also in quickly being brought up to speed in certain areas of biomedical engineering research. It can serve as an excellent textbook for students in areas where traditional textbooks have not
yet been developed, and serve as an excellent review of the major areas of activity in each biomedical engineering subdiscipline, such as biomechanics biomaterials, clinical engineering, artificial intelligence, etc., and finally it can serve as the “bible” for practicing biomedical engineering professionals by covering such topics as a “Historical Perspective of Medical Technology, the Role of Professional Societies and the Ethical Issues Associated with Medical Technology”.
Biomedical Engineering is no longer an emerging discipline; it has become an important vital interdisciplinary field. Biomedical engineers are involved in many medical ventures. They are involved in the design, development and utilization of materials, devices (such as pacemakers, lithotripsy, etc.) and techniques (such as signal processing, artificial intelligence, etc.) for clinical research and use; and serve as members of the health care delivery team (clinical engineering, medical informatics, rehabilitation engineering, etc.) seeking new solutions for difficult heath care problems confronting our society. To meet the needs of this diverse body of biomedical engineers, this handbook provides a central core of knowledge in those fields encompassed by the discipline of biomedical engineering as we enter the 21st century. Before presenting this detailed information, however, it is important to provide a sense of the evolution of the modern health care system and identify the diverse activities biomedical engineers perform to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
