Magnetorheological Fluid Technology Applications in Vehicle Systems

Magnetorheological Fluid Technology Applications in Vehicle Systems

Magnetorheological Fluid Technology: Applications in Vehicle Systems compiles the authors’ recent work involving the application of magnetorheological (MR) fluids and other smart materials in vehicles. It collects concepts that have previously been scattered in peer-reviewed international journals. After introducing the physical phenomena and properties of MR fluids the book presents control methodologies for effectively controlling vehicle devices and systems featuring MR fluids. The authors also introduce the hysteresis identification of MR fluid and discuss its application through the adoption of the Preisach and polynomial models. They then describe the application of MR-equipped suspension systems in passenger tracked and railway vehicles; the application of MR brake systems in passenger vehicles motorcycles and bicycles; and the application of several MR technologies in heavy vehicles. The final chapter explores the use of haptic technologies for easily operating vehicle instruments and achieving optimal gear shifting with accelerator pedals. Assuming some technical and mathematical background in vibration dynamics and control this book is designed for scientists and engineers looking to create new devices or systems for vehicles featuring controllable MR fluids. It is also suitable for graduate students who are interested in the dynamic modeling and control methodology of vehicle devices and systems associated with MR fluid technology. | Magnetorheological Fluid Technology Applications in Vehicle Systems

Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

To this Eighth Edition of the late Mr William Gardner‘s Chemical Synonyms and trade Names there have been added some 3 300 new entries principally in the field of plastics alloys and pharmaceuticals. A number of entries describing products known to the Editors to be no longer commercially available have been deleted with the principal object of keeping the bulk of the book within reasonable bounds; but it has been possible to add nearly 400 names to the Index of Manufacturers to be found at the end of the book. The sum of these additions and deletions represents a net increase of about 10 per cent in the scope of this Eighth Edition as compared with its predecessor published in 1971. | Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

Ransomware and Cybercrime

Ransomware and Cybercrime

In May 2021 Jim Gosler known as the Godfather and commander of US agencies’ cyber offensive capability said ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt or the Internet would eat us alive. '' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced. Over the last two decades what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless nameless state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary ill-protected and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led all in the name of security. This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online. There is little to no attribution and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life our economies and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We need—no we must demand—change. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals. | Ransomware and Cybercrime

Quantitative MRI of the Brain Principles of Physical Measurement Second edition

Quantitative MRI of the Brain Principles of Physical Measurement Second edition

Building on the success of the first edition of this book the winner of the 2004 British Medical Association Radiology Medical Book Competition Quantitative MRI of the Brain: Principles of Physical Measurement gives a unique view on how to use an MRI machine in a new way. Used as a scientific instrument it can make measurements of a myriad of physical and biological quantities in the human brain and body. For each small tissue voxel non-invasive information monitors how tissue changes with disease and responds to treatment. The book opens with a detailed exposition of the principles of good practice in quantification including fundamental concepts quality assurance MR data collection and analysis and improved study statistical power through minimised instrumental variation. There follow chapters on 14 specific groups of quantities: proton density T1 T2 T2* diffusion advanced diffusion magnetisation transfer CEST 1H and multi-nuclear spectroscopy DCE-MRI quantitative fMRI arterial spin-labelling and image analysis and finally a chapter on the future of quantification. The physical principles behind each quantity are stated followed by its biological significance. Practical techniques for measurement are given along with pitfalls and examples of clinical applications. This second edition of this indispensable 'how to' manual of quantitative MR shows the MRI physicist and research clinician how to implement these techniques on an MRI scanner to understand more about the biological processes in the patient and physiological changes in healthy controls. Although focussed on the brain most techniques are applicable to characterising tissue in the whole body. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to use the gamut of modern quantitative MRI methods to measure the effects of disease its progression and its response to treatment. Features:The first edition was awarded the book prize for Radiology by the British Medical Association in 2004Written by an authority in the field: Professor Tofts has an international reputation for quantification in MRIGives specific ‘how to’ information for implementation of MRI measurement sequence techniques | Quantitative MRI of the Brain Principles of Physical Measurement Second edition
