Drone Art: The Everywhere War as Medium
by Thomas StubblefieldWhat happens when a drone enters a gallery or appears on screen? What thresholds are crossed as this weapon of war occupies everyday visual culture? These questions have appeared with increasing regularity since the advent of the War on Terror, when drones began migrating into civilian platforms of film, photography, installation, sculpture, performance art, and theater. In this groundbreaking study, Thomas Stubblefield attempts not only to define the emerging genre of "drone art" but to outline its primary features, identify its historical lineages, and assess its political aspirations. Richly detailed and politically salient, this book is the first comprehensive analysis of the intersections between drones, art, technology, and power.

Drones as Cyber-Physical Systems: Concepts And Applications For The 4th Industrial Revolution
by Jung-Sup UmThis book introduces the concept of using drones as a teaching tool to explore the fundamental principles, technology and applications of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A short introduction sets CPS in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, and describes various CPS technologies including self-driving cars, commercial intelligent drones and mobile robots, in which artificial intelligence routinely supports smarter decision-making. The core of the book then focuses on commercially available drones, the only available system offering the advantage of cyber-physical bridging through 3D autonomous dynamic flying in classroom conditions. Chapters describe drone technology, including location sensors and imaging systems. CPS theory is explained through typical drone flying procedures and do-it-yourself (DIY) aerial photography in which communication between sensors, actuators and controllers occurs through cyber-physical bi-directional bridging. This book opens new possibilities in fostering 4th industrial revolution literacy, introducing relevant examples from readily available equipment, making core elements of cyber-physical bridging accessible. It is aimed primarily at those students who have an interest in CPS, drones and those from disciplines that are concerned with spatial information.
Drones in IoT-enabled Spaces
by Fadi Al-TurjmanThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of inter-connected devices, objects, and organisms. Among these devices, drones are gaining lots of interest. Drones are expected to communicate with cellular networks in the next generation networks (5G and beyond) which opens the door for another exciting research area. This book considers very important research areas in drone and cellular networks. It addresses major issues and challenges in drone-based solutions proposed for IoT-enabled cellular/computer networks, routing/communication protocols, surveillances applications, secured data management, and positioning approaches. It focuses mainly on smart and context-aware implementations.
Drones to Go: A Crash Course for Scientists and Makers

Drop Heating and Evaporation: Analytical Solutions in Curvilinear Coordinate Systems (Mathematical Engineering)
by Simona Tonini Gianpietro Elvio CossaliThis book describes analytical methods for modelling drop evaporation, providing the mathematical tools needed in order to generalise transport and constitutive equations and to find analytical solutions in curvilinear coordinate systems. Transport phenomena in gas mixtures are treated in considerable detail, and the basics of differential geometry are introduced in order to describe interface-related transport phenomena. One chapter is solely devoted to the description of sixteen different orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, reporting explicitly on the forms of their differential operators (gradient, divergent, curl, Laplacian) and transformation matrices. The book is intended to guide the reader from mathematics, to physical descriptions, and ultimately to engineering applications, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of applied mathematics when properly adapted to the real world. Though the book primarily addresses the needs of engineering researchers, it will also benefit graduate students.
Drop shipping sencillo: La guía definitiva para hacer dinero con Shopify y con eCommerce
by Adidas WilsonDrop shipping es un método de comercio minorista donde las tiendas no almacenan sus productos. Cuando alguien compra un producto, el vendedor lo compra en otro lugar y luego lo envía directamente al cliente. El comerciante ni maneja, ni ve el producto. En eso, Drop shipping es diferente del modelo minorista convencional, ya que el vendedor no posee un inventario. El vendedor compra el pedido a un tercero. Este modelo, como todo lo demás, tiene ventajas y desventajas. Necesita menos capital: esta es posiblemente la mayor de las ventajas. No se necesitan miles de dólares para iniciar una tienda de comercio electrónico (e-Commerce). Los minoristas convencionales necesitan tener una gran cantidad de capital para formar su inventario. En drop shipping, solo compra un producto después de que un cliente ha realizado un pedido y efectuado el pago. No es necesaria una inversión de inventario inicial. Su inicio es sencillo: un negocio de e-Commerce se vuelve mucho más simple de realizar cuando no maneja productos físicos. Usted no se preocupará de un almacén, del empaque y envío, de dar seguimiento a un inventario, de manejar las devoluciones y de mucho más. Los gastos generales son bajos: dado que no tendrá que contar con un almacén o comprar inventario, podrá esperar gastos generales bajos. Muchas personas manejan negocios de drop shipping desde su oficina en casa con su computadora portátil y tan solo invierten $100 aproximadamente por mes. Los gastos pueden aumentar a medida que el negocio crezca, pero seguirán siendo bajos. Ubicación flexible: si usted cuenta con una conexión a Internet, puede administrar su negocio de drop shipping desde cualquier lugar.
