TBM Excavation in Difficult Ground Conditions: Case Studies from Turkey
by Nuh Bilgin Hanifi Copur Cemal BalciThe book relates experience of TBM drives in difficult geology, making use of case studies from Turkey to demonstrate the influence of the local geotechnical conditions on the selection of a tunnel boring machine and the selection of tools. There is an extensive description how various geological phenomena, such as for example transition zones, dikes, rock discontinuities, blocky ground, squeezing ground, swelling clays and high strength and abrasive rocks, can reduce the advance rate and what countermeasures can be introduced. There is also a discussion of necessary advance probing and safety measures. Since the presented practical experience from Turkey can also be applicable for other tunnel projects in difficult geology, the book represents a valuable source of knowledge for every tunneler.

TECHNOLOGY PATHWAYS: Assessing the Integrated Plan for a Next Generation Air Transportation System
by National Research Council of the National AcademiesIn 2003, Congress directed the Secretary of Transportation to establish the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) Joint Planning and Development Office (JDPO) to plan the development of an air transportation system capable of meeting potential air traffic demand for 2025. All federal agencies involved in aviation participate in the JDPO providing the opportunity overcome many of the major barriers to developing an effective NGATS. To assist this process, the NRC was asked to examine the first NGATS Integrated Plan prepared by JPDO and submitted to Congress in 2004. This report provides a review of the vision and goals, the operational concepts, and the R&D roadmap developed by the plan; an analysis of the JDPO integrated product teams created to carry out the planning; and an assessment of the implementation process.

THz Communications: Paving the Way Towards Wireless Tbps (Springer Series in Optical Sciences #234)
by Tadao Nagatsuma Thomas Kürner Daniel M. MittlemanThis book describes the fundamentals of THz communications, spanning the whole range of applications, propagation and channel models, RF transceiver technology, antennas, baseband techniques, and networking interfaces. The requested data rate in wireless communications will soon reach from 100 Gbit/s up to 1 Tbps necessitating systems with ultra-high bandwidths of several 10s of GHz which are available only above 200 GHz. In the last decade, research at these frequency bands has made significant progress, enabling mature experimental demonstrations of so-called THz communications, which are thus expected to play a vital role in future wireless networks. In addition to chapters by leading experts on the theory, modeling, and implementation of THz communication technology, the book also features the latest experimental results and addresses standardization and regulatory aspects. This book will be of interest to both academic researchers and engineers in the telecommunications industry.
THz and Security Applications
by Carlo Corsi Fedir SizovThese proceedings comprise invited papers from highly experienced researchers in THz technology and security applications. THz detection of explosives represents one of the most appealing technologies to have recently emerged in dealing with terrorist attacks encountered by civil security and military forces throughout the world.

TILLING and Eco-TILLING for Crop Improvement
by Anjanabha Bhattacharya Vilas Parkhi Bharat CharThis edited book is a comprehensive compilation of deliberations in the field of agriculture, food security, climate resilient crops and on the relevance of the popular TILLING technique in the era of precise genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9). This book particularly deliberates on new developments in this field, such as, induced mutagenesis techniques, mutagenesis in somatic tissues, bio-informatics analysis and gene mining. This volume also focuses on next generation mutation detection techniques, exome capture, forward and reverses genetics, trait selection and, finally deliberates on the future of TILLING in plant breeding and product development. TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genome) is a popular molecular biology technique for detecting polymorphism in a mutagenized population. Eco-TILLING refers to natural TILLING. This technique can be applied to a wider range of crops. Products developed through TILLING are not regulated throughout the world, thus having a wider acceptance among various stakeholders. This volume is timely and looks into the updated aspects of mutagenesis, TILLING, Eco-TILLING along with OMIC tools, their amalgamated applications towards crop improvement. This book contains 11 chapters and 250 pages authored by globally reputed scientists on the field of mutagenesis, TILLING and Eco-TILLING. This book is useful for research scholars, students, teachers and scientists in the academia, policy makers, relevant public, plant breeding companies, private companies and cooperatives interested in understanding or applying mutagenesis, TILLING for editing gene of interest and develop new products in agriculture.
