This book provides an overview of the current Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, ranging from the research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies in a global context. A successful deployment of IoT technologies requires integration on all layers, be it cognitive and semantic aspects, middleware components, services, edge devices/machines and infrastructures.
This book discusses the concepts, tools and applications of systems engineering. Chapter One presents the implementation of automated measuring system for measuring chromatic dispersion (CD). Chapter Two discusses the results regarding the optimization of phase based EOM (electro optical modulator) as the most important component in CD measurement setup, then investigates the results of CD measurement characterizations based on different lengths of fiber, different wavelengths and different RF frequencies.
This book introduces the main theoretical findings related to copulas and shows how statistical modeling of multivariate continuous distributions using copulas can be carried out in the R statistical environment with the package copula (among others). Copulas are multivariate distribution functions with standard uniform univariate margins. They are increasingly applied to modeling dependence among random variables in fields such as risk management, actuarial science, insurance, finance, engineering, hydrology, climatology, and meteorology, to name a few.In the spirit of the Use R!
This book covers all topics in mechanics from elementary Newtonian mechanics, the principles of canonical mechanics and rigid body mechanics to relativistic mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. It was among the first textbooks to include dynamical systems and deterministic chaos in due detail. As compared to the previous editions the present 6th edition is updated and revised with more explanations, additional examples and problems with solutions, together with new sections on applications in science.
En palabras de Kafka, solo la brevedad es impecable. Y, en efecto, nada hay más difícil, en literatura, que decir más con menos. Por eso los microrrelatos de Ricardo Álamo incluidos en esta edición de Mínimo esfuerzo presentan al lector una feliz idea, muchas felices ideas, con el exacto designio de no hacerle perder el tiempo con palabras de más.
This box set includes all seven titles in The Chronicles of Narnia—The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; and The Last Battle.
«A los veintidós años, sospechando que tenían el tiempo contado, Ichimei y Alma se atragantaron de amor para consumirlo entero, pero mientras más intentaban agotarlo, más imprudente era el deseo, y quien diga que todo fuego se apaga solo tarde o temprano, se equivoca: hay pasiones que son incendios hasta que las ahoga el destino de un zarpazo y aun así quedan brasas calientes listas para arder apenas se les da oxígeno.»
En este fascinante recorrido por los archivos desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta la primera mitad del siglo XX, Ana María Goetschel recupera la historia del aborto en Ecuador para mostrarnos los casos y los debates jurídicos, médicos y de orden político, religioso y moral entonces dominantes. Descubre que, desde inicios de la República, las mujeres que abortaban y quienes practicaban el aborto constaban en los códigos penales, pero pocas fueron enjuiciadas y encarceladas, pues la mayoría de los casos se resolvían en la esfera doméstica.
