4g Mobile and Wireless Communications Technologies (River Publishers Series In Communications Ser.)
by Sofoklis Kyriazakos Ioannis Soldatos George KaretsosMobile and wireless communications are moving towards a new era that will be characterized by the seamless collaboration of heterogeneous systems, the need for high speed communications while on the move and for advanced services with quality guarantees. Recent market research studies show that most of the traffic in the future wireless networks will be produced by mobile multimedia services which are expected to proliferate by the year 2010. On the other hand mobile and wireless communications technology is becoming more and more important in developing countries where people demand fast deployment and low cost for broadband wireless internet services.The objective of this volume is to gather research and development on topics shaping the fourth generation (4G) in mobile and wireless communications and reveal the key trends and enabling technologies for 4G. We envisage 4G wireless communication systems as IP based solution providing integrated services (voice, data, multimedia) regardless of time and end-users? location. 4G technologies will manifest the benefits of the wireless and wired technologies convergence, through enabling a wide range of innovative (both indoor and outdoor) applications. 4G applications will feature premium quality, high security and an affordable cost. The vision, though fantastic, is associated with a host of technical and technological challenges.A great deal of the latter are discussed in the articles of this volume, which aims at providing insights on the research issues and solutions that are directly associated with leading edge 4G technologies and services.Taking into account recent developments in the world of wireless communications we have given emphasis to cover all these technologies and aspects that are considered as cornerstones for achieving the goals set for 4G and that will further boost research and development of next-generation mobile communications.

5 T High Temperature Superconductor 3 Pole Wavelength Shifter Magnet for Accelerator-based Light Sources (Springer Theses)
by Jeonghwan ParkThis thesis reports the development of the world's first 5 T conduction-cooled metal-insulated (MI) wavelength shifter (WLS) magnet using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) technology. Overcoming key challenges such as Lorentz force-induced stress, screening current effects, and the limitations of liquid helium cooling, this study introduces a conduction-cooled MI HTS magnet with innovative electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal design methods. The research establishes core manufacturing technologies, including precision winding, jointing, and cryogenic integration, ensuring stable operation below 20 K. A 3D screening current-induced field analysis model is developed and experimentally validated, offering insights into field distortions and mitigation strategies. Achieving a record 5 T field, this is the first domestically produced HTS WLS magnet. Its application in the Pohang Light Source II storage ring is expected to enhance photon brightness by 1,000 times at 100 keV, advancing next-generation accelerator technologies.
50 Digital Ideas You Really Need to Know
by Tom ChatfieldWe are in the throes of a revolution, yet most of us are so disorientated by the rapid pace of technological and cultural change that we find it difficult to understand what's going on. 50 Digital Ideas you Really Need to Know aims to provide a clear path through the confusion and misinformation surrounding those technologies that, for better or for worse, are transforming the world we live in and even the sort of people we are.Leading technology writer Tom Chatfield is a sure-footed guide to the seminal digital phenomena of our time, from the basic browsers that we use to surf the web and update our status on social networking sites, through to the implications for privacy of our permanently distracted world, to the culture jamming that is making it increasingly difficult for traditional power structures to impose their authority. Whether plumbing the depths of the deep web that represents well over 99 percent of the internet and remains inaccessible to most search engines, to digital distribution which threatens to sweep away entire industries, to the augmented reality that will soon change the very way we interact with the world, this is an indispensable road map for the inevitable journey to a digital future.From malware to mashups; from spam to the semantic web; and from email to avatars, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the profound social and behavioural changes wrought by the emerging digital age.
