Book excerpt: La lectura de este libro permite adquirir una visión de conjunto de los fundamentos de la electricidad, mediante una descripción sencilla, gráfica y práctica, pero con una adecuada fundamentación teórica, pues como dijo Ortega y Gasset, "nada hay más práctico que una buena teoría". En él se desgranan, para su correcto estudio y comprensión, los contenidos necesarios para posteriormente poder adentrarse con propiedad en el amplio mundo de las aplicaciones eléctricas. Aunque el texto tiene un carácter terminal en sí mismo, puede servir de iniciación al libro Instalaciones eléctricas en baja tensión. Diseño, cálculo, dirección, seguridad y montaje, de los mismos autores y editorial, cuya 2ª Edición ve la luz en paralelo con esta publicación. Lo que precisamente ha animado a estos autores a lanzarse con esta publicación ha sido la más que buena acogida del anterior título en todo el mercado de habla hispana, así como las peticiones de muchos de sus lectores de poder disponer de un libro sobre fundamentos de electricidad, con la misma metodología pedagógica. En la elaboración de sus contenidos se ha procurado emplear un lenguaje sencillo y claro, a la vez que riguroso, y se han utilizado procesos matemáticos básicos, pero que a su vez sean capaces de permitir culminar el proceso de aprendizaje con un nivel suficiente de conocimientos. Como valor añadido, en múltiples explicaciones se presentan los razonamientos desde varios ángulos o niveles matemáticos posibles y en una gran cantidad de casos se exponen las aplicaciones prácticas concretas de cada teoría vista. El texto se ha estructurado en ocho capítulos y cuatro interesantes anexos; en sus más de cuatrocientas figuras se presentan de forma sintética y esquemática los diferentes contenidos que se desarrollan a lo largo del texto y que encuentran un buen punto de apoyo en el más de un centenar de problemas prácticos resueltos que se presentan. Es un libro útil, no solo durante la etapa de aprendizaje, sino también posteriormente durante el ejercicio de la actividad profesional. El libro está dirigido preferentemente a los alumnos de los Ciclos Formativos de Formación Profesional de Electricidad-Electrónica, también para la asignatura Electrotecnia del Bachillerato Tecnológico, así como para alumnos de los primeros cursos de Grados en Ingenierías, Arquitectura y, en general, estudios técnicos que incorporen en su currículo asignaturas o módulos relacionados con la electricidad. Se ha pensado también para cubrir parte de la programación de un curso de Experto Profesional en Equipos e Instalaciones Eléctricas (http://volta.ieec.uned.es/programa_ENER.asp), reconocido con 20 créditos ECTS en un título propio de la UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia), que se imparte totalmente a distancia (on line). También puede ser útil para profesionales del sector y, en general, para todas aquellas personas que se encuentren en diferentes entornos relacionados con el mundo de la electricidad, bien por cursar enseñanzas profesionales o por desarrollar tareas en empresas que tengan que ver con este tipo de actividades. Esperamos que esta obra cumpla con sus expectativas y le sea de utilidad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When WILHELM RUHLAND developed his plan for an Encyclopedia of Plant Physiol ogy more than three decades ago, biology could still be conveniently subdivided into classical areas. Even within plant physiology, subdivisions were not too difficult to make, and general principles could be covered sufficiently in the two introductory volumes of the Encyclopedia on the physical and chemical basis of cell biology. But the situation changed rapidly even during the 12-year publication period of the Encyclopedia (1955-1967). The new molecular direction of genetics and structural research on biopolymers had an integrating effect on all other biological fields, including plant physiology, and it became increasingly difficult to keep previously distinct areas separated. RUHLAND'S overall plan included 18 volumes and about 22,000 pages. It covered the entire field of plant physiology, in most cases from the very beginning. But, as each volume appeared, it was clear that its content would soon be outdated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Analytical Chemistry is a systematic account of the historical development of analytical chemistry spanning about 4,000 years. Many scientists who have helped to develop the methods of analytical chemistry are mentioned. Various methods of analysis are discussed, including electrogravimetry, optical methods, electrometric analysis, radiochemical analysis, and chromatography. This volume is comprised of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of analytical chemistry in ancient Greece, the origin of chemistry, and the earliest knowledge of analysis. The next chapter focuses on analytical chemistry during the Middle Ages, with emphasis on alchemy. Analytical knowledge during the period of iatrochemistry and the development of analytical chemistry during the phlogiston period are then examined. Subsequent chapters deal with the development of the fundamental laws of chemistry, including the principle of the indestructibility of matter; analytical chemistry during the period of Berzelius; and developments in qualitative and gravimetric analysis. Elementary organic analysis is also considered, along with the development of the theory of analytical chemistry. This book will be helpful to chemists as well as students and researchers in the field of analytical chemistry.

Book excerpt: This book presents research in Geoscience Education focusing on indoor and outdoor environments in which teaching geoscience gains particular relevance, significance and contextualization. The research areas that are presented throughout the thirteen chapters cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from educational resources and fieldwork to science models. Chapters discuss specific geoscience topics such as earthquakes, rocks, fossils and minerals. Other chapters present a more interdisciplinary approach addressing topics that aren’t usually examined, such as geomedicine and geoethics, with a specific focus on sustainable development and their alignment with the school curricula. Throughout the book readers can find research-based arguments illustrated with practical examples, which will help them to innovate in their curriculum development area, classroom practices and pre and in-service teachers’ education. The book challenges readers to improve Geoscience Education by changing the ways of teaching, by enabling students to exploit their natural curiosity, and by spurring a learning process that should not be confined to the classroom but rather maintained throughout life.

Book excerpt: System Identification is a special section of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC)-Journal Automatica that contains tutorial papers regarding the basic methods and procedures utilized for system identification. Topics include modeling and identification; step response and frequency response methods; correlation methods; least squares parameter estimation; and maximum likelihood and prediction error methods. After analyzing the basic ideas concerning the parameter estimation methods, the book elaborates on the asymptotic properties of these methods, and then investigates the application of the methods to particular model structures. The text then discusses the practical aspects of process identification, which includes the usual, general procedures for process identification; selection of input signals and sampling time; offline and on-line identification; comparison of parameter estimation methods; data filtering; model order testing; and model verification. Computer program packages are also discussed. This compilation of tutorial papers aims to introduce the newcomers and non-specialists in this field to some of the basic methods and procedures used for system identification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A HarperElixir Book The beloved teacher of spiritual wisdom and author of the phenomenal New York Times and international bestseller The Four Agreements takes readers on a mystical Toltec-inspired personal journey, introducing us to a deeper level of spiritual teaching and awareness. In 2002, Don Miguel Ruiz suffered a near fatal heart attack that left him in a nine-weeks-long coma. The spiritual journey he undertook while suspended between this world and the next forms the heart of The Toltec Art of Life and Death, a profound and mystical tale of spiritual struggle. As his body lies unconscious, Ruiz’s spirit encounters the people, ideas, and events that have shaped him, illuminating the eternal struggle between life—unending energy and truth—and death—matter and subjective knowledge—in which we are all called to engage. Over ten years in the making, The Toltec Art of Life and Death invites readers into the mind of a master of spiritual seeking, offering an unparalleled and intimate glimpse into the development of a soul. In this culmination of a lifetime's learning, Ruiz shares with readers the innermost workings of his singular heart and mind, and summons us to grapple with timeless insights, drawn from ancient Toltec wisdom, that are the essence of transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their similarity to the organs of the most advanced creatures that inhabit the Earth, sensors are regarded as being the “senses of electronics”: arti?cial eyes and ears that are capable of seeing and hearing beyond the range of - man perception; electronic noses and tongues that can recognise odours and ?avours without a lifetime training; touch that is able not only to feel the texture and temperature of the materials but even to discern their chemical compo- tion. Among the world of chemical sensors, optical devices (sometimes termed “optodes”, from the Greek “the optical way”) have reached a prominent place in those areas where the features of light and of the light-matter interaction show their advantage: contactless or long-distance interrogation, detection sensitivity, analyte selectivity, absence of electrical interference or risks, and lack of analyte consumption, to name just a few. The introduction of optical ?bres and integrated optics has added more value to such sensing since now light can be con?ned and readily carried to dif?cult-to-reach locations, higher information density can be transported, indicator dyes can be immobilised at the distal end or the evanescent ?eld for unique chemical and biochemical sensing (including multiplexed and distributed measurements), optical s- sors can now be subject to mass production and novel sensing schemes have been established (interferometric, surface plasmon resonance, ?uorescence energy transfer, supramolecular recognition . . . ).
