Microcontroller and Smart Home Networks
Over recent years industries have faced the problem of how to connect devices to 'speak' to each other with minimum wiring. Philips Semiconductors faced this problem when they needed to connect many ICs together. The Automotive Industry faced the same problem when it needed to connect tens of microcontrollers in each car. Recently, with smart homes, the problem has started to be part of each home. For instance, you may want to build your smart home with accessories from different manufacturers and you want the devices to 'speak' to each other. Added to that, you may want to control them from a central App or voice assist.Solutions for this problem started with the introduction of Inter Integrated Circuits (IIC) and Controller Area Networks (CAN). Both solutions are wired networks that allow ICs and microcontrollers to be connected in a network to communicate together.In smart home automation, a number of common smart home automation protocols that allow different devices to speak and communicate together have appeared during the last few decades. Some of the smart home protocols come under the umbrella of what is called the "Internet of Things (IoT)". The proposed protocols can be grouped into wired networks e.g. X10, UPB; wireless or radio networks as ZigBee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth; or dual (wired and radio) such as Insteon.This book introduces to the reader some of the most popular Microcontroller and Smart home networks. The book covers in detail the following protocols: - I2C- I3C- CAN- ZigBee- ZigBee Pro- Z-Wave- BluetoothWi-Fi, WiMax and Insteon are part of our companion book "Serial Communication Protocols and Standards".This book gives detailed comparisons between the various protocols. To complete the knowledge of the reader, the book gives in the last chapter a short summary on the protocols that we did not fully cover in this volume: Ethernet, Thread, Insteon, X10 and UPB.
Design, Development and Analysis of Lunar Crescent Visibility Criterion With Python
This book explores the development of an analysis tool for lunar crescent visibility criterion using an integrated lunar crescent visibility database.
Unified theory of relativistic rotation
This unified theory of relativistic rotation is radical, and will undoubtedly turn the most conservative minds viscerally attached to standard models on their head: in fact, it rejects the physical existence of straight lines in favor of circular trajectories, gives a mechanistic interpretation to spin, and denies the reality of the dilation of the universe or the existence of dark matter. Yet it never questions observations, because facts are stubborn. The candidate theory for unification presented in this manuscript requires no mathematical background beyond the first two years of university education. It is essentially based on mechanics and its representation in Euclidean geometry. The main conceptual difficulty lies in following the logic of rotation rather than translation. So it takes a little time and patience, which few of us have, to shake up our physical intuition engine and recalibrate our scientific flair in the light of the Coriolis force.

Digital Signal Processing
The subject of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is enormously complex, involving many concepts, probabilities, and signal processing that are woven together in an intricate manner. To cope with this scope and complexity, many DSP texts are often organized around the "numerical examples" of a communication system. With such organization, readers can see through the complexity of DSP, they learn about the distinct concepts and protocols in one part of the communication system while seeing the big picture of how all parts fit together. From a pedagogical perspective, our personal experience has been that such approach indeed works well.Based on the authors' extensive experience in teaching and research, Digital Signal Processing: a breadth-first approach is written with the reader in mind. The book is intended for a course on digital signal processing, for seniors and undergraduate students. The subject has high popularity in the field of electrical and computer engineering, and the authors consider all the needs and tools used in analysis and design of discrete time systems for signal processing.Key features of the book include: - The extensive use of MATLAB based examples to illustrate how to solve signal processing problems. The textbook includes a wealth of problems, with solutions- Worked-out examples have been included to explain new and difficult concepts, which help to expose the reader to real-life signal processing problems- The inclusion of FIR and IIR filter design further enrich the contents
Anti-stocks photoluminescence for semiconductors
In this book a very mature and precise review is done to the photoluminescence up-conversion phenomenon. After an introduction to the semiconductors and some of optical properties of them such as photoluminescence and photoluminescence up-conversion, the mechanisms are studied. Furthermore, the factors which are effective in the enhancement of photoluminescence up-conversion are indicated and analyzed.The conclusions of our studies show that the removal of the linear momentum's conservation bond in the heterostructures has a very prodigious effect on the efficiency of this optic phenomenon.
The Universe
Mike hopes that his readers will find his views interesting but believes they fall into insignificance faced as we all are with extinction by Global Warming. Our time, money and resources would be far better devoted to fighting Climate Change than attempting to make sense of a Universe which is mostly a 'mirage'! He dares the far too-easily 'awe-struck' press to stop lauding that part of the scientific community preoccupied with a Universe that 'doesn't exist' and to concentrate instead on ways to tackle Global Warming which he elaborates on within.
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics examines the dynamics of stratified and turbulent fluid motion in the atmosphere, ocean and outer core. This book explains key notions and fundamental processes of the dynamics of large- and medium-scale atmospheric and oceanic motions from the unifying viewpoint of the rotating shallow water model. The model plays a distinguished role in geophysical fluid dynamics. It has been used for about a century for conceptual understanding of various phenomena, for elaboration of approaches and methods to be used later in more complete models, for development and testing of numerical codes, and for many other purposes. In spite of its simplicity, the model grasps essential features of the complete 'primitive equations' models, being their vertically averaged version, and gives an intuitive representation and clear vision of principal dynamical processes. This book is a combination of a course on geophysical fluid dynamics (Part 1), with explanations and illustrations of fundamentals, and problems, as well as a more advanced treatise of a range of principal dynamical phenomena (Part 2), including recently arisen approaches and applications (Part 3). Mathematics and physics underlying dynamical phenomena are explained, with necessary demonstrations. Simultaneously, an important goal of the book is to develop the reader's physical intuition and qualitative insights.
Convergence to Cosmicrobia
Forty years ago, Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe challenged the long-held belief that life originated spontaneously from a primordial soup on Earth - a concept rooted in Aristotelian philosophy and dominant in Western science for over two millennia. They proposed that life might have originated elsewhere in the universe and spread to Earth through a process called panspermia.Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's research, supported by advancements in space technology and astronomy, argued that the origins of life required a cosmological scale beyond the solar system or galaxy. Their work contributed to the emergence of astrobiology, merging astronomy and biology, and indicated a shift from Earth-centered theories of life.Their challenge parallels the Copernican revolution, which displaced Earth from the center of the universe. Similarly, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's ideas suggest a new paradigm shift in science, moving towards a view of life as a cosmic phenomenon. Recent discoveries, particularly with the James Webb Space Telescope, further support this shift, indicating that a major transformation in our understanding of life's origins may be approaching.
Low Energy Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions at the Spallation Neutron Source
Quantum Stochastic Thermodynamics
The theory of thermodynamics has been one of the bedrocks of 19th-century physics, and thermodynamic problems have inspired Planck's quantum hypothesis. One hundred years later, in an era where we design increasingly sophisticated nanotechnologies, researchers in quantum physics have been 'returning to their roots', attempting to reconcile modern nanoscale devices with the theory of thermodynamics. This textbook explains how it is possible to unify the two opposite pictures of microscopic quantum physics and macroscopic thermodynamics in one consistent framework, proving that the ancient theory of thermodynamics still offers many remarkable insights into present-day problems. This textbook focuses on the microscopic derivation and understanding of key principles and concepts and their interrelation. The topics covered in this book include (quantum) stochastic processes, (quantum) master equations, local detailed balance, classical stochastic thermodynamics, (quantum) fluctuation theorems, strong coupling and non-Markovian effects, thermodynamic uncertainty relations, operational approaches, Maxwell's demon, and time-reversal symmetry, among other topics. The textbook also explores several practical applications of the theory in more detail, including single-molecule pulling experiments, quantum transport and thermoelectric effects in quantum dots, the micromaser, and related setups in quantum optics. The aim of this book is to inspire readers to investigate a plethora of modern nanoscale devices from a thermodynamic point of view, allowing them to address their dissipation, efficiency, reliability, and power based on a conceptually clear understanding about the microscopic origin of heat, entropy, and the second law. The book is accessible to graduate students, post-docs, and lecturers, but will also be of interest to all researchers striving for a deeper understanding of the laws of thermodynamics beyond their traditional realm of applicability.

Thermodynamic Model of Prosopis juliflora Gasification
The work proposed is a stoichiometric equilibrium model to predict the yield of syngas and its composition in the gasification of Prosopis Juliflora in a downdraft gasifier. The deep taproots of this plant cause depletion of the water table, and hence, their removal became a necessity. It is used as firewood for household applications and therefore has great potential to be used as biomass. This work aimed to fill the gap in the literature that does not have experimental or modeled values of syngas yield and composition produced by the gasification of this biomass.

New physics is the key to solving problems
Our monograph "New physics is the key to solving problems of cosmology and quantum physics" examines the question the relationship between the continuum and discreteness. A new Physics is born at the time of the crisis of theoretical physics and the entire scientific paradigm. Today, at the beginning of the XXI century, at the time of a when scientists seriously talk about the illusory nature of the Universe, the authors propose to come back to Immanuel Kant's philosophical heritage and, in particular, to his monograph "Critique of pure reason". Space and time as a product of pure reason of mathematical abstractions of Finsler spaces and their possible applications in physics, although make it possible to build a physical theory on the basis of fundamental relations cannot replace physical reality. The monograph identifies the factors affecting the anisotropy value of the fine structure of the of the Universe in the process of its evolution. The authors consider the Penrose model and come to the conclusion that that it is impossible to construct a "gravitational quantum theory" based on Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Principles of elasticity and variable constant theory
The work addresses elasticity from a perspective that encompasses Chemistry, Physics, Rheology, and Mechanics, which is essential for introducing studies on the content of elasticity applied to various phenomena, whether material or not. The book also presents a new theory developed at the Federal Institute of Maranh瓊o that allows for the breaking of the principle of invariant elastic constant, revealing that elasticity is not just a mathematical justification; it is an entity that operates at different levels and systems, responsible for everything. Elastic constants must be measured considering not only the body but also the temperature it is in, since there are variations in the speed and strength of material responses based on temperature. Just as a liter of water is not the same volume at different temperatures and does not possPlease note that this English version is only a test.

Into the Unknown
A leading astronomer and gifted teacher takes readers on a wondrous tour--"perfect for anyone who enjoyed Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" (Publishers Weekly)--of how science confronts the big questions about the origins, destiny, and fundamental nature of our universe Humans have learned a lot about the world around us and the universe beyond. We have made powerful insights and created profound theories about the universe and everything in it. Surely the ultimate theory must be waiting, just beyond our current knowledge. Well, maybe. In Into the Unknown, astrophysicist Kelsey Johnson takes us to the edge of scientific understanding about the universe: What caused the Big Bang? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimensions? She doesn't just celebrate what we know but rather what we don't, and asks what it means if we never find that knowledge. Exploring the convergence of science, philosophy, and theology, Johnson argues we must reckon with possibilities--including those that may be beyond human comprehension. The very places where we run smack into total ignorance are the places where the most important questions--about the philosophy of knowledge, the nature of our cosmos, and even the existence of God--await. As accessible as it is profound, Into the Unknown invites each of us to join in the great quest for knowledge.

Hybrid Nano-Lubricants Based Vapour Compression Refrigeration System
Every household has a refrigerator to keep food and vegetables fresh. The residential refrigerator is mostly powered by electricity and operates on a vapour compression refrigeration cycle. The VCR cycle has four major components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. The compressor in a refrigerator consumes the greatest amount of the energy needed to operate. Energy can be saved by decreasing compressor input power. The refrigeration industry is the greatest energy consumer in the world, and numerous researchers have investigated novel methods to reduce energy consumption. The performance of the refrigerator improved by improving coefficient of performance (COP) and lowering input power. Hybrid nano-lubricants have grown in popularity since their beginnings in vapour compression refrigeration systems. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the use of hybrid nanoparticles improves system performance and efficiency.
The Essence of a Genius
Yoichiro Nambu was one of the giants in the physics of the last century. His profound ideas in fundamental physics are still playing an important role and are being rediscovered over and over again.He preferred to share some of his deepest insights in talks, rather than publications, but Nambu's papers and talks were not easy to understand. Like the Japanese gentleman he was, he did not want to humiliate the reader with obvious statements. Even if it is an interpretation, it fits very well with his character of a very polite and considerate human being with a self-reliance inside him that he did not show on the outside. It is no wonder that many of his breakthroughs were not immediately appreciated by his contemporaries, with a late award of a well-deserved Nobel Prize. He was probably the only one in the highest stratum of physicists who was respected by everybody.The purpose of this book, half-history, half-physics is to trace Nambu's progress formulating some of his greatest ideas. It is structured in seven chapters, describing a paper or a series of papers (or talks) where Nambu's originality and genius emerge. Each chapter begins with a historical background section that sets the physics climate of the time, followed by a somewhat detailed discussion of his papers/talks.This tribute to Nambu hopes that he will be remembered and admired for many years to come.

The Geometric Algebra Structure for Supercomputing
I do stress that the following is not a generalization of quantum mechanics as it is. It is a theory based on different mathematical structures and different physically meaningful definitions. Thus, I am trying to keep off such poor terminology like "hidden variables", "system in a state", "quantum computing", maybe some more. Instead of speaking about "quantum computing" the corresponding computational area will be identified as Geometric Algebra Supercomputing, with the acronym GASC. I address with my work to those who are not brainwashed by N. Bohr and his adepts into thinking that the question of quantum mechanics is solved, and to young brave students not zombied-out yet with Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics and not being afraid to be considered as heretics, pariahs by the physicists' majority. I do also encourage all of them by saying that physical phenomena are happening in real world not in Hilbert space. It is also good to remember Max Planck's words: "A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it".
Infinite Cosmos

Page after page showcase more than 100 spectacular photographs picturing the cosmos as never seen before, from stardust coalescing in the Eagle Nebula's "pillars of creation" to glittering galaxies, newly discovered exoplanets, deep-space fields of stars, and the planets of our solar system in vivid detail. The definitive printed record of these historic astronomical accomplishments, this is a book that inspires awe and admiration, perfect for space and aerospace enthusiasts, libraries, and anyone who looks up in wonder at the starry skies.
Ufo's Sightings Reports Cover-Ups
Social media has revolutionized the dissemination of data. It has affected how individuals research and investigate UFO sightings, alien abductions, and alien close encounter events. Social media posts, videos, podcasts, and personal or news websites provide information that otherwise would not have been easily, if at all, available to ufologists in the past. The instant dissemination of a recent Unknown Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Unknown Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting provides researchers and investigators with relevant and timely data they can apply to their own projects. The release of documents related to ufology is spread across the Internet to be used as evidence or a source in an investigation, research paper, or book. The internet, like it or hate it, has had a transformative effect on the field of ufology.This book is a hybrid of internet research, written primary and secondary sources, and oral history. All three form the foundation of a proper UFO sighting, alien abduction, or alien sighting investigation. Bill Weber and George Filer work together to document the life and UFO experiences George had as a military officer. Bill goes on to document and explain some of the most compelling UFO sightings and events in the field and during his time as a UFO investigator. His review of an event's or investigation's context as well as conclusions are rare in more recent books about this field. This book is a great resource for new or seasoned members of this field to use as a springboard to further their own avenues of study in ufology.
