Fiber-Optic Communications
This book describes in a comprehensive manner the components and systems of fiber-optic communications and networks. Coverage is divided into three parts: Part 1 explains the propagation theory over single-mode and multimode fibers, as well as technological features (manufacturing, cabling, connecting). Part 2 describes the various components (passive and active optical components, integrated opt...
Image Processing
Computer-aided automatic processing of images requires the control of a series of operations, which this book analyzes.
Knowing the statistical properties of images, sampling them to reduce the observable world to a series of discrete values, restoring images in order to correct degradations – all these operations are explained here, together with the mathematical tools they require.
Topics cove...
Spatial Management of Risks
Spatial analysis is an increasingly important tool for detecting numerous risk phenomena. This book concentrates on examples of prevention but also gives crisis control advice and practical case studies.
Some chapters address urban applications in which vulnerabilities are concentrated in area; others address more rural areas with more scattered phenomena....
Time–Frequency Analysis
Concepts and Methods
Time-frequency analysis brings together some rather diverse concepts and tools with the aim of reconciling the temporal analysis and spectral analysis of signals in a single joint representation. This is an appropriate framework for the analysis and processing of various types of non-stationary signals, such as those of physiological origin, radar and sonar signals, acoustic signals, astrophysical...
Multiscale Modeling of Heterogenous Materials
From microstructure to macro-scale properties
This book provides an overview of recent advances in computational methods for linking phenomena in systems that span large ranges of time and spatial scales. Particular attention is given to predicting macroscopic properties based on subscale behaviors.

Structural Components
Mechanical Tests and Behavioral Laws
The mechanical tests presented in this book are essential for determining the basic properties of the materials used. Areas covered include elasticity, tensile and compression tests, hardness, endurance tests and dynamic tests....
The Finite Element Method for Electromagnetic Modeling
Written by specialists in the modeling of electromagnetism, this book provides a comprehensive review of the finite element method for low frequency applications. Fundamentals of the method as well as new advances in the field are described in detail.
Static, magnetodynamic and fixed formulations are first covered, before the discussion moves on to different macroscopic behavior laws of materia...
Heat Transfer in Materials Forming Processes
With Exercises and Solutions
Heat Transfer in Materials Forming Processes deals with the solution of thermal problems in various processes, such as molding, cutting, welding or grinding, involved in working with or manufacturing materials.
Two approaches are presented for each type of application. The first is analytical, leading to general solutions that are well-suited to the needs of the engineer at the time when the proc...
Physical Chemistry of Solid-Gas interfaces
Concepts and Methodology for Gas Sensors Development
This book begins by presenting the fundamental and elementary basis and theoretical tools for the interpretation and development of solid-gas interaction models. Chemical, physical and electrochemical aspects are presented from a phenomenological, thermodynamic and kinetic point of view. The theoretical aspects of electrical properties at the surface of a solid are also covered, to provide greater...
Simulation For Supply Chain Management
This book provides a detailed insight into the simulation approaches employed in the study of supply chain management and control. It begins by examining the types of simulation models (continuous simulation, discrete-event systems and simulation games) before moving on to the distribution levels of systems and models. It concludes with a thorough discussion of simulation products. Simulation meth...
