Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Paving Our Ways A History of the World’s Roads and Pavements

Paving Our Ways A History of the World’s Roads and Pavements

Paving Our Ways covers the international history of road paving in an interesting readable and technically accurate way. It provides an overview of the associated technologies in a historical context. It examines the earliest pavements in Egypt and Mesopotamia and then moves to North Africa Crete Greece and Italy before a review of pavements used by the Romans in their magnificent road system. After its empire collapsed Roman pavements fell into ruin. The slow recovery of pavements in Europe began in France and then in England. The work of Trésaguet Telford and McAdam is examined. Asphalt and concrete slowly improved as paving materials in the second part of the 19th century. Major advances occurred in the 20th century with the availability of powerful machinery pneumatic tyres and bitumen. The advances needed to bring pavements to their current development are explored as are the tools for financing constructing managing and maintaining pavements. The book should appeal to those interested in road paving and in the history of engineering and transport.

Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management 4. Risk Reduction Technologies and Case Studies

Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management 4. Risk Reduction Technologies and Case Studies

The four volumes of the book series Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management deal with environmental management assessment & monitoring tools environmental toxicology and risk reduction technologies. This last volume focuses on engineering solutions usually needed for industrial contaminated sites where nature’s self-remediation is inefficient or too slow. The success of remediation depends on the selection of an increasing number of conventional and innovative methods. This volume classifies the remedial technologies and describes the reactor approach to understand and manage in situ technologies similarly to reactor-based technologies. Technology types include physicochemical biological or ecological solutions where near-natural sustainable remediation has priority. A special chapter is devoted to natural attenuation where natural changes can help achieve clean-up objectives. Natural attenuation and biological and ecological remediation establish a serial range of technologies from monitoring only to fully controlled interventions using ‘ just’ the natural ecosystem or sophisticated artificial living systems. Passive artificial ecosystems and biodegradation-based remediation – in addition to natural attenuation – demonstrate the use of these ‘green’ technologies and how engineering intervention should be kept at a minimum to limit damage to the environment and create a harmonious ecosystem. Remediation of sites contaminated with organic substances is analyzed in detail including biological and physicochemical methods. Comprehensive management of pollution by inorganic contaminants from the mining industry leaching and bioleaching and acid mine drainage is studied in general and specifically in the case of an abandoned mine in Hungary where the innovative technology of combined chemical and phytostabilization has been applied. The series of technologies is completed by electrochemical remediation and nanotechnologies. Monitoring verification and sustainability analysis of remediation provide a comprehensive overview of the management aspect of environmental risk reduction by remediation. This book series focuses on the state of knowledge about the environment and its conscious and structured application in environmental engineering management and decision making. | Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management 4.

Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems Wildland Fire Science Policy and Management

Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems Wildland Fire Science Policy and Management

Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems is brimming with intriguing ecological stories of how life has evolved with and diversified within the varied fire regimes that are experienced on earth. Moreover the book places itself as a communication between students fire scientists and fire fighters and each of these groups will find some familiar ground and some challenging aspects in this text: something which ultimately will help to bring us closer together and enrich our different approaches to understanding and managing our changing planet. Sally Archibald Professor University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg South Africa Most textbooks are as dry as kindling and about as much fun to sink your teeth into. This is not that kind of textbook. Devan Allen McGranahan and Carissa L. Wonkka have taken a complex topic and somehow managed to synthesize it into a comprehensive yet digestible form. This is a book you can read cover to cover – I know I did it. As a result I took an enlightening journey through the history and fundamentals of fire and its role in the natural and human world ending with a thoughtful review of the evolving relationship between humans and wildland fire. Chris Helzer Nebraska Director of Science The Nature Conservancy and author of The Prairie Ecologist blog Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems: Wildland Fire Science Policy and Management is intended for use in upper-level courses in fire ecology and wildland fire management and as a reference for researchers managers and other professionals involved with wildland fire science practice and policy. The book helps guide students and scientists to design and conduct robust wildland fire research projects and critically interpret and apply fire science in any management education or policy situation. It emphasizes variability in wildland fire as an ecological regime and provides tools for students researchers and managers to assess and connect fire environment and fire behaviour to fire effects. Fire has not only shaped social and ecological communities but pushed ecosystems beyond previous boundaries yet understanding the nature and effects of fire as an ecological disturbance has been slow hampered by the complexity of the dynamic interactions between vegetation and climate and the fear of the destruction fire can bring. This book will help those who study manage and use wildland fire to develop new answers and novel solutions based on an understanding of how fire functions in natural and social environments. It reviews literature synthesizes concepts and identifies research gaps and policy needs. The text also explores the interaction of fire and human culture demonstrating how fire policy can be made adaptable to cultural and socio-ecological objectives. | Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems Wildland Fire Science Policy and Management
