Book SynopsisThis 6th edition of “Tools of Radio Astronomy”, the most used introductory text in radio astronomy, has been revised to reflect the current state of this important branch of astronomy. This includes the use of satellites, low radio frequencies, the millimeter/sub-mm universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the increased importance of mm/sub-mm dust emission. Several derivations and presentations of technical aspects of radio astronomy and receivers, such as receiver noise, the Hertz dipole and beam forming have been updated, expanded, re-worked or complemented by alternative derivations. These reflect advances in technology. The wider bandwidths of the Jansky-VLA and long wave arrays such as LOFAR and mm/sub-mm arrays such as ALMA required an expansion of the discussion of interferometers and aperture synthesis. Developments in data reduction algorithms have been included. As a result of the large amount of data collected in the past 20 years, the discussion of solar system radio astronomy, dust emission, and radio supernovae has been revisited. The chapters on spectral line emission have been updated to cover measurements of the neutral hydrogen radiation from the early universe as well as measurements with new facilities. Similarly the discussion of molecules in interstellar space has been expanded to include the molecular and dust emission from protostars and very cold regions. Several worked examples have been added in the areas of fundamental physics, such as pulsars. Both students and practicing astronomers will appreciate this new up-to-date edition of Tools of Radio Astronomy. Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen zur 6.Auflage: “...

Book SynopsisThis textbook provides materials for an introductory course in Engineering Acoustics for students with a basic knowledge of mathematics. The contents are based on extensive teaching experience at the graduate level. Each of the 14 main chapters deals with a well-defined topic and represents the material for a two-hour lecture. The chapters alternate between more theoretical and more application-oriented concepts. The presentation is organized to be suitable for self-study as well.For this third edition, the complete text and many figures have been revised. Several current amendments take account of advancements in the field. Further, a completely new chapter has been added which presents approaches and solutions to all assigned exercise problems. The new chapter offers the opportunity to explore the underlying theoretical background in more detail. However, the study of the problems and their proposed solutions is no prerequisite for comprehending the material presented in the book's lecture part.Trade Review“The book is systematic but concise, covering the acoustic basics required for engineering applications, as well as electroacoustic transducers, room acoustics, noise control, and more aspects of the fundamentals. … it is also beneficial to engineers and technicians engaged in the development of related technologies, so it is hereby recommended.” (ACTA ACUSTICA, Vol. 48 (4), 2023)“As its title suggests, the book takes a structured, engineering approach. … It also serves as a reference book to delve deeper into individual topics or to revisit buried knowledge. … Acoustics for Engineers is convincing in its brevity and structure and is consequently recommended to all readers who, in addition to a well-illustrated presentation of the fundamentals of acoustics and electro-acoustics, are interested in their derivations, correlations, and analogies, as well as in the calculation of typical problems.” (Martin Schneider, vdt Magazin, Issue (2), 2022)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Mechanic and Acoustic Oscillations.- Electromechanic and Electroacoustic Analogies.- Electromechanic and Electroacoustic Transduction.- Magnetic-Field Transducers.- Electric-Field Transducers.- The Wave Equation in Fluids.- Horns and Stepped Ducts.- Spherical Waves, Harmonics, and Line Arrays.- Piston Membranes, Diffraction and Scattering.- Dissipation, Reflection, Refraction, and Absorption.- Geometric Acoustics and Diffuse Sound Fields.- Insulation of Air- and Structure-Borne Sound.- Noise Control – A Survey.- Solutions to the Exercise Problems.- Appendices.

Book SynopsisThis book opens with an explanation of the vibrations of a single degree-of-freedom (dof) system for all beginners. Subsequently, vibration analysis of multi-dof systems is explained by modal analysis. Mode synthesis modeling is then introduced for system reduction, which aids understanding in a simplified manner of how complicated rotors behave. Rotor balancing techniques are offered for rigid and flexible rotors through several examples. Consideration of gyroscopic influences on the rotordynamics is then provided and vibration evaluation of a rotor-bearing system is emphasized in terms of forward and backward whirl rotor motions through eigenvalue (natural frequency and damping ratio) analysis. In addition to these rotordynamics concerning rotating shaft vibration measured in a stationary reference frame, blade vibrations are analyzed with Coriolis forces expressed in a rotating reference frame. Other phenomena that may be assessed in stationary and rotating reference frames include stability characteristics due to rotor internal damping and instabilities due to asymmetric shaft stiffness and thermal unbalance behavior.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Single degree-of-freedom rotor.- Modal analysis for multi degree-of-freedom rotor.- Mode synthesis and related modeling.- Unbalance vibration and balancing.- Gyroscopic effects on rotor vibrations.- Approximate eigenvalue evaluation of a rotor-bearing system.- Vibration evaluation using open-loop characteristics.- Transformation from inertial coordinate to rotating coordinate frames of reference.- Vibration of blade and impeller systems.- Basic topics on rotor stability.

Book SynopsisLight emitting diodes (LEDs) are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications. However, its ultimate goal is to replace traditional illumination through LED lamps since LED lighting significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts down on carbon-dioxide emission. Despite dramatic advances in LED technologies (e.g., growth, doping and processing technologies), however, there remain critical issues for further improvements yet to be achieved for the realization of solid-state lighting. This book aims to provide the readers with some contemporary LED issues, which have not been comprehensively discussed in the published books and, on which the performance of LEDs is seriously dependent. For example, most importantly, there must be a breakthrough in the growth of high-quality nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers with a low density of dislocations, in particular, in the growth of Al-rich and and In-rich GaN-based semiconductors. The materials quality is directly dependent on the substrates used, such as sapphire, Si, etc. In addition, efficiency droop, growth on different orientations and polarization are also important. Chip processing and packaging technologies are key issues. This book presents a comprehensive review of contemporary LED issues. Given the interest and importance of future research in nitride semiconducting materials and solid state lighting applications, the contents are very timely. The book is composed of chapters written by leading researchers in III-nitride semiconducting materials and device technology. This book will be of interest to scientists and engineers working on LEDs for lighting applications. Postgraduate researchers working on LEDs will also benefit from the issues this book provides.Table of Contents1: Introduction Part A.
