NEW PROGRESS ON GRAPHENE RESEARCH

Graphene is a one-atom-thick and two-dimensional repetitive hexagonal lattice sp2-hybri‐ dized carbon layer. The extended honeycomb network of graphene is the basic building block of other important allotropes of carbon. 2D graphene can be wrapped to form 0D full‐ erenes, rolled to form 1D carbon nanotubes, and stacked to form 3D graphite. Depending on its unique structure, graphene yields …

A Practical Guide to Managing Information Security

The principles underlying modern approaches to securing information and systems that process information are well documented and well understood by practitioners. Modern techniques and technologies for implementing these principles are also well documented, and it is hard to find an area of information security that has not been the subject of a book or at least an article. However, most of the…

Q-Squared

I am deeply grateful to Ravi Kanbur, who initiated the Q-Squared initiative, and invited me to join on. The momentum in favour of mixed method analysis of poverty over the past decade has been highly influenced by Ravi’s efforts. In the absence of such, this book would not exist. I am also extremely appreciative of the support provided by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC),…

Risk Analysis in Finance and Insurance

This book deals with the notion of “risk” and is devoted to analysis of risks in finance and insurance. We will study risks associated with financial and insurance contracts, by which we understand risks to be uncertainties that may result in financial loss and affect the ability to make payments associ- ated with the corresponding contracts. Our approach to this analysis is based on the …

Road Lighting

This is my second book on the subject of road lighting. The first, also titled “Road Lighting”, appeared in 1980 in the series “Philips Technical Library” published by Kluwer, with co-author Prof. J.B. de Boer. Since that time, the technology of road lighting has progressed to keep up with the changes in lamp and lighting technology, in traffic and automobile technology, and especially …

Spectral Analysis on Graph-Like Spaces

In this monograph, we analyse thin tubular structures, so-called “graph-like spaces”, and their natural limits, when the radius of a graph-like space tends to zero. The limit space is typically a metric graph, i.e. a graph, where each edge is associated a length, and therefore, the space turns into a one-dimensional manifold with singularities at the vertices. On both, the graph-like spaces…

Rigidity and Symmetry

The thematic program on Discrete Geometry and Applications took place at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences in Toronto between July 1 and December 31, 2011. The papers included in this book are based on some research conducted during the semester and on some of the lectures there, in particular those related to the part of the program under the heading “Rigidity and Sy…

Reconnecting Marketing to Markets

Marketing is an activity and process in a market context. Thus most people will agree that marketing and markets are connected, both in theory and in practice. However, the title of this book, ‘Reconnecting Marketing to Markets’, suggests that not only has there been a disconnection in academic research sometime in the past but also that the editors and authors entertain ideas about a possi…

SECURITY OF MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

Mobile communications offer wireless connectivity that enables mobility and com- puting in diverse communication environments. The large demands from social markets are driving the growing development of mobile communications more rapidly than ever before. Consequently, a large set of new advanced techniques has emerged, brought about by a larger bandwidth, more powerful processing capabil- ity…

SECURITY MANAGEMENT OF NEXT GENERATION TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND SERVIC

This book focuses on the management of information security in next generation networks from the viewpoint of a telecommunications service provider, commercial enterprise or any other type of networked organization as a governance issue that needs to follow the “Plan, Do, Check and Act” approach promulgated by W. Edwards Deming and captured in ISO Standard 27001 as it applies to the manag…

Statistical Physics

This book is essentially based on the lecture course on “Statistical Physics”, which was taught by the author at the physical faculty of the Ural State University in Ekater- inburg since 1992. This course was intended for all physics students, not especially for those specializing in theoretical physics. In this sense the material presented here contains the necessary minimum of knowledge o…

Revealing art

In the Tate Modern there is a version of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss (1901–4) which can be seen on the cover of this book. A couple emerges from the block of marble in a rapturous embrace, the meeting of their lips deliberately concealed from the viewer. The woman leans into the embrace, turning and pulling the man down. Her leg presses over his thigh, gently prising his legs apart, whilst h…

ELECTRIC CIRCUITS AND SIGNALS

This book is intended for one or two courses on basic electric circuits as well as the “Circuits and Signals” course, CE-CSG, described in the Body of Knowledge of the IEEE/ACM. It differs from other textbooks in its coverage, organization, and presentation, which strongly emphasize fundamentals and stresses creative problem solving. By emphasis on funda- mentals I mean: (1) being comprehen…

Law from the Tigris to the Tiber: The Writings of Raymond Westbrook

On July 23, 2009, as the preparations for this collection were nearing completion, Raymond Westbrook, the W. W. Spence Professor of Semitic Languages in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, passed away. We had been contemplating the production of these volumes for some time and began work on them in earnest about one year ago, spurred in part by the progression of…

Managing TRUST in Cyberspace

Traditional security mechanisms restrict access to authorized users only, in order to protect resources from malicious users. However, in many con- texts, we must protect ourselves from those who offer resources, so that the problem is in fact reversed. This improper usage cannot be addressed by traditional security mechanisms, and the issues relate more to trustworthiness than security. Trus…

Ignorance,How It Drives Science.

This strikes me as a particularly apt description of how science proceeds on a day-to-day basis. It is certainly more accurate than the more common metaphor of scientists patiently piecing together a giant puzzle. With a puzzle you see the manufacturer has guaranteed there is a solution. I know that this view of the scientific process—feeling around in dark rooms, bumping into unidentifiable…
