Southern Marine Engineering Desk Reference
Author: Rolf N. Ekenes
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664111069
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The information contained within this reference compilation is intended to be a helpful guide for the marine engineer in solving problems or answering questions that he or she may encounter daily, as well as problems or questions that may be encountered on a much less common basis. A good deal of this information is also necessary knowledge for any tests or examinations that may be required for the advancement of his or her career in the marine industry. The source primarily used for the direction of this compilation has been the USCG merchant marine engineering question bank for motor-propelled vessels, accessible on the internet at www.uscg.mil/stcw/. Another source is experience. All units of measurement are in imperial/standard units unless otherwise noted. SI/metric units have been used where appropriate.

IP Design for Mobile Networks
Author: Mark Grayson
Publisher: Pearson Education
ISBN: 1587059355
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
As the cellular world and the Internet converge, mobile networks are transitioning from circuit to packet and the Internet Protocol (IP) is now recognized as the fundamental building block for all next-generation communication networks. The all-IP vision provides the flexibility to deliver cost-effective services and applications that meet the evolving needs of mobile users. RF engineers, mobile network designers, and system architects will be expected to have an understanding of IP fundamentals and how their role in delivering the end-to-end system is crucial for delivering the all-IP vision that makes the Internet accessible anytime, anywhere. IP Design for Mobile Networks discusses proper IP design theory to effectively plan and implement your next-generation mobile network so that IP integrates all aspects of the network. The book outlines, from both a standards and a design theory perspective, both the current and target state of mobile networks, and the technology enablers that will assist the migration. This IP transition begins with function-specific migrations of specific network domains and ends with an end-to-end IP network for radio, transport, and service delivery. The book introduces many concepts to give you exposure to the key technology trends and decision points affecting today’s mobile operators. The book is divided into three parts: Part I provides an overview of how IP is being integrated into mobile systems, including radio systems and cellular networks. Part II provides an overview of IP, the technologies used for transport and connectivity of today’s cellular networks, and how the mobile core is evolving to encompass IP technologies. Part III provides an overview of the end-to-end services network based on IP, including context awareness and services. Presents an overview of what mobile networks look like today–including protocols used, transport technologies, and how IP is being used for specific functions in mobile networks Provides an all-inclusive reference manual for IP design theory as related to the broader application of IP for mobile networks Imparts a view of upcoming trends in mobility standards to better prepare a network evolution plan for IP-based mobile networks This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press®, which offers networking professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and building successful careers. ciscopress.com

Fiducial Reference Measurements for Satellite Ocean Colour
Author: Andrew Clive Banks
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783039430642
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
Ocean color measured by satellite-mounted optical sensors is an essential climate variable that is routinely used as a central element for assessing the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and the role of oceans in the global carbon cycle. For satellite ocean color to be reliable and used in these and other important environmental applications, the data must be trustworthy and high quality. Pre-flight and on-board calibration of satellite ocean color sensors is conducted; however, once in orbit, the data quality can only be fully assessed via independent calibration and validation activities using surface measurements. These measurements therefore need to be at least as high quality as the satellite data, which necessitates SI traceability and a full uncertainty budget. This is the basis for fiducial reference measurements (FRMs) and the FRM4SOC project, which was an European Space Agency (ESA) initiative to establish and maintain SI-traceable ground-based FRM for satellite ocean color, thus providing a fundamental contribution to the European system for monitoring the Earth (Copernicus). This Special Issue of MDPI Remote Sensing is designed to showcase this essential Earth observation work through the publication of the project's main achievements and results accompanied by other select relevant articles.
