Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

This design guide was written to capture the author’s practical experience of designing building and testing multi-rotor drone systems over the past decade. The lack of one single source of useful information meant that the past 10 years has been a steep learning curve a lot of self-tuition and many trial and error tests. Lessons learnt the hard way are not always the best way to learn. This book will be useful for the amateur drone pilot who wants to build their own system from first principles as well as the academic researcher investigating novel design concepts and future drone applications. | Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

Agricultural Drones A Peaceful Pursuit

Agricultural Drones A Peaceful Pursuit

Agricultural drones are expected to revolutionize the way we conduct agronomic procedures and maintain natural vegetation on earth. This book explores the increasing importance of the role of aerial robots in managing agricultural farms and natural resources. Agricultural Drones: A Peaceful Pursuit provides a wealth of information on drone usage in agriculture. The book discusses the advanced sensors and imaging capabilities of drones that give farmers new ways to increase yields and reduce crop damage. An introductory chapter provides historical data with details about various models of drones as well as the most recent and popular agricultural drones in usage. The book goes onto look at such topics as the use of drones for soil fertility production agronomy irrigation weed control pest and disease control grain yield forecasting and economic advantages from drone use. This timely and useful volume will be a valuable resource for faculty agricultural extension officers and farmers and farm consultancy agencies. This book would also serve as an excellent textbook for students in agriculture engineering geography etc. Key features:• outlines the advantages of using drones in agriculture such as for the management of soil fertility the study of natural resources and vegetation the maintenance of adequate irrigation and the control of weeds and pests• covers the economic advantages of using drones in agriculture• examines the regulatory aspects of agricultural drones• provides actual examples of drone usage in agriculture | Agricultural Drones A Peaceful Pursuit

Securing Cyber-Physical Systems

Securing Cyber-Physical Systems

Think about someone taking control of your car while you're driving. Or someone hacking into a drone and taking control. Both of these things have been done and both are attacks against cyber-physical systems (CPS). Securing Cyber-Physical Systems explores the cybersecurity needed for CPS with a focus on results of research and real-world deployment experiences. It addresses CPS across multiple sectors of industry. CPS emerged from traditional engineered systems in the areas of power and energy automotive healthcare and aerospace. By introducing pervasive communication support in those systems CPS made the systems more flexible high-performing and responsive. In general these systems are mission-critical—their availability and correct operation is essential. This book focuses on the security of such mission-critical systems. Securing Cyber-Physical Systems brings together engineering and IT experts who have been dealing separately with these issues. The contributed chapters in this book cover a broad range of CPS security topics including: Securing modern electrical power systemsUsing moving target defense (MTD) techniques to secure CPSSecuring wireless sensor networks (WSNs) used for critical infrastructuresMechanisms to improve cybersecurity and privacy in transportation CPSAnticipated cyberattacks and defense approaches for next-generation autonomous vehiclesSecurity issues vulnerabilities and challenges in the Internet of ThingsMachine-to-machine (M2M) communication securitySecurity of industrial control systemsDesigning trojan-resilient integrated circuitsWhile CPS security techniques are constantly evolving this book captures the latest advancements from many different fields. It should be a valuable resource for both professionals and students working in network web computer or embedded system security.

International Law Our Common Future

International Law Our Common Future

International Law: Our Common Future offers a dynamic approach to the study of international law that actively engages students in ways that more traditional textbooks do not. One way this is achieved is by focusing on recent events including international terrorism extraordinary rendition the legality of drone strikes environmental devastation and human rights. Another is by having students wrestle with actual court rulings rather than being given short summaries of these decisions. These cases which are from a wide array of international regional and domestic tribunals are followed by a series of provocative and challenging questions and prompts that will naturally lead to classroom discussion and debate. The book recognizes the importance of visual media in terms of student learning. In addition to photographs of individuals and events that feature prominently in the development of international law each chapter has sections entitled International Law at the Movies which highlight feature films and documentaries that explore the topic at hand. What students will quickly come to realize is that international law is not a distant and abstract entity but rather is intimately connected to various aspects of their daily lives. The book shows some of the remarkable changes in international law most notably the declining importance of the role of the state. As a final point the book is written in an engaging almost conversational style that is accessible to students in a wide array of academic disciplines. FEATURES OF THIS INNOVATIVE TEXT This book is specifically designed to appeal to student interest to promote active learning and to integrate carefully edited court cases with explanatory text. Here are just a few of the features devoted to achieving these goals: Boxed text highlighting current events “International Law at the Movies” boxes Photos illustrating key moments and figures in international law Cases carefully edited and set off from the main text Notes and Comments following court case excerpts References for each chapter divided into key types of sources including Books and Articles Reports Agreements and Cases (international regional and domestic tribunals) Glossary of key terms putting terms in context with events Filmography Table of Cases with links to original sources A NOTE ABOUT THE COVER ART Title: “María inside since April 14 2014” Artist: Ben Betsalel The cover image is from a prison project in Colombia Human Beings Inside and Outside done in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). | International Law Our Common Future
