Rechargeable batteries with high energy density are in demand as energy sources for various purposes, such as handies, zero emission electric vehicles, or load levelling in electric power. Lithium batteries are the most promising to fulfill such needs because of their intrinsic discharge voltage with relatively light weight. This volume is an overview of the challenges facing the further development of lithium-ion batteries from the standpoint of both materials science and technology.
The second volume, Foundations of Carrier Transport, presents a catalogue of the physics of carrier transport in semiconductors with a view to energy device models. We systematically explain the diffusion-drift model that is central to solar cell operation, the different responses of band bending and electrical field distribution that occur when a voltage is applied to a device with contacts and the central issue of injection and mechanisms of contacts. We describe the carrier transport in disor...
Distributionally Robust Learning (Foundations and Trends (R) in Optimization)
by Ruidi Chen and Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis
Many of the modern techniques to solve supervised learning problems suffer from a lack of interpretability and analyzability that do not give rise to rigorous mathematical results. This monograph develops a comprehensive statistical learning framework that uses Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO) under the Wasserstein metric to ensure robustness to perturbationsin the data. The authors introduce the reader to the fundamental properties of the Wasserstein metric and the DRO formulation, be...

Building on Smart Cities Skills and Competences (Internet of Things)
This book provides insights on skills required to achieve success in smart cities from a variety of industry and human factors perspectives. It emphasizes the balance between learning skills, technical skills, and domain-specific skills in these industries, with special emphasis given to innovative software development models. The authors note that digital transformation requires complementary measures that are not overtly aimed to support infrastructure investment but are instead directed at pr...

Fundamentals of Acoustic Field Theory and Space-Time Signal Processing
by Lawrence J. Ziomek
Providing a wealth of information on fundamental topics in the areas of linear air and underwater acoustics, as well as space-time signal processing, this book provides real-world design and analysis equations. As a consequence of the interdisciplinary nature of air and underwater acoustics, the book is divided into two parts: Acoustic Field Theory and Space-Time Signal Processing. It covers the fundamentals of acoustic wave propagation as well as the fundamentals of aperture theory, array theor...
The purpose of this symposium was to provide a tribune for information exchange on conversion of military or double purpose scientific research with applications towards peaceful ends. Topics discussed include radiowave propagation problems and advanced technologies.
Quantum Sensing and Nanophotonic Devices III (Proceedings of SPIE)
Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.
The fields of mechatronics and robotics are closely related. Mechatronics now applied in systems such as CD players, cameras, and advanced automotive engines is a design methodology characterized by the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. Robotics, the design and construction of reprogrammable, multi-functional machines is also multidisciplinary, involving mechanical, electrical, and computing elements."Mechatronics and Robotics: Desig...
Beitrage Zur Kenntnis Des Schleichens Der Drehstrom-Asynchronmotoren
by Erich Wandeberg
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
