Fiber-Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing: Principles and Applications addresses the fundamentals of fiber optic distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and their most important application fields. It is divided into three parts, the first of which covers the theoretical aspects of the working principle of DAS technology, including the description of the main optical components used for DAS monitoring, concepts of Rayleigh scattering, and approaches for resolving the spatial information based on optical time-domain and optical frequency-domain reflectometry. The second part focuses on the different interrogation techniques existing today, including dedicated signal processing and other advanced methods for enhancing sensing performance. The third part of the book is devoted to the main industrial applications of DAS technology, such as structural health monitoring, security, geophysical studies and seismic monitoring, including also relevant aspects related to the industrial standardization of the technology. For a reader with a basic background in photonics, the book provides the basis for knowing and understanding distributed acoustic sensing technology and its applications, in a single volume. It is relevant for a broad range of scientists and researchers working in the fields of photonics, sensing, environmental and structural health monitoring, optical communications, and optical fiber systems.

To meet the immensely higher data rate, reliability, adaptability and traffic demands in the 5G-Advanced/6G era, novel communication frameworks are rapidly emerging to fully utilize electromagnetic waves. One area is Electromagnetic Signal and Information Theory (ESIT), an interdisciplinary framework to evaluate the fundamental limits of wireless communications by integrating deterministic electromagnetic wave (EM) theory, signal processing and statistical information theory. Electromagnetic Signal and Information Theory: From Synergizing Two Realms to Evolution of Next Generation Communications provides a comprehensive coverage of topics ranging from theoretical foundations to advanced technologies to emerging trends, as well as information on standardization, offering valuable insights and guidance to university researchers and industry professionals. With contributions from leading experts in the field and a focus on cutting-edge research areas such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and holographic MIMO, the book addresses the audience's need for in-depth understanding, practical applications, and future directions in wireless communications.

Winner of the 2024 National Book Critics Circle Award in Nonfiction • Winner of the 2024 Kirkus Nonfiction Prize • Shortlisted for the 2025 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • A New York Times Notable Book of 2024 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Stunning…A heart-pounding thriller…Challenger is a remarkable book.” —The Atlantic • “Devastating…A universal story that transcends time.” —The New York Times • “Dramatic…a moving narrative.” —The Wall Street Journal From the New York Times bestselling author of Midnight in Chernobyl comes the definitive, “compelling, and exhaustively researched” (The Washington Post) minute-by-minute account of the Challenger disaster, based on fascinating and new archival research—a riveting history that reads like a thriller. On January 28, 1986, just seventy-three seconds into flight, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions of Americans witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Like the assassination of JFK, the Challenger disaster is a defining moment in 20th-century history—one that forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future. Yet the full story of what happened, and why, has never been told. Based on extensive archival research and metic­ulous, original reporting, Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space follows a handful of central protagonists—including each of the seven members of the doomed crew—through the years leading up to the accident, and offers a detailed account of the tragedy itself and the inves­tigation afterward. It’s a compelling tale of ambition and ingenuity undermined by political cynicism and cost-cutting in the interests of burnishing national prestige; of hubris and heroism; and of an investigation driven by leakers and whistleblowers determined to bring the truth to light. Throughout, there are the ominous warning signs of a tragedy to come, recognized but then ignored, and later hidden from the public. Higginbotham reveals the history of the shuttle program and the lives of men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, as well as the designers, engineers, and test pilots who struggled against the odds to get the first shuttle into space. A masterful blend of riveting human drama and fascinating and absorbing science, Challenger identifies a turning point in history—and brings to life an even more complex and astonishing story than we remember.

This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory (Second Edition) and presents the theory of the evolution of density perturbations and relic gravity waves, the theory of cosmological inflation, and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly in a pedagogical way. These parts may serve as a detailed introduction to current research.Particle physics and cosmology enjoyed rapid development between the first and the second editions of this book. In the second edition, the numerical values of particle physics and cosmological parameters have been updated in accordance to contemporary data.

The rising number of cases of cybersecurity attacks has underlined the fundamental importance of addressing security in wireless communications. Blockchain has evolved as a promising solution for various security threats. Meanwhile, AI has become a driving force to run modern technological systems specifically those involving 5G and beyond 5G communications. Blockchain functions such as authentication and consensus can be effectively implemented using AI. Interestingly, block chain can also play a key role in making AI solutions sufficiently robust to defend against security attacks. AI and Blockchain for Wireless Communications: Creating Resilient and Secure Systems describes the merger of AI and blockchain for smooth functioning of secure wireless communications. It covers both sides of blockchain and AI integration - blockchain for assisting AI, such as solutions involving distributed learning and trustworthy AI, and AI solutions designed to support blockchain, such as solutions embedded in smart contracts for automation and authentication. The methods and techniques presented in the book are also supported by use cases that show the practical implementation of AI and blockchain based wireless communication systems. AI and Blockchain for Wireless Communications: Creating Resilient and Secure Systems is suitable for students, researchers and industry engineers in AI, blockchain, and wireless communications. It will help AI developers to grasp the concepts and see the benefits of blockchain integrated with AI, particularly in wireless communications, setting the groundwork for their future development.

"The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above"--
