Methods for designing vibration protection systems with negative and quasi-zero stiffness are formulated, explained, and demonstrated in practice. All key steps of the system design are covered, including the type and number synthesis, modelling and studying of stress-strain state under post-buckling of elastic composite designs, chaotic dynamics and stability conditions, real-time dimensioning, and active motion control. In addition to coverage of underlying theory, the use in helicopters, buses, railroad vehicles, construction equipment and agricultural machinery are included.

Considering the overall situation of the current pandemic and pertinent recommendations, this book focuses on the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for COVID-19 outbreak along with techniques, tools and platforms to achieve social distancing and sanitization. It contains theoretical and practical knowledge of AR and remedies on how to cope with the technology including multiple use cases along with a set of recommendations. It illustrates application building using open source softwares with an interactive interface to aid the impaired users. The initial part of the book emphasizes on the basic knowledge of AR, technology, devices and rest of the relevant theories. Aimed at Researchers, students in augmented reality, technical healthcare professionals, practitioners, this book: Focusses on realization and visualization of Covid-19 pandemic using Augmented Reality (AR).Discusses how different AR Visualization techniques is implemented in different scenarios.Provides in-depth kn

The recent pandemic has clarified the overwhelming connection between the workplace and technology. With thousands of employees suddenly forced to work at home, a large segment of the workforce quickly received crash courses in videoconferencing and other technologies, and society as a whole took a step back to redefine what employment actually means. The virtual workplace is the blending of brick-and-mortar physical places of business with the advanced technologies that now make it possible for workers to perform their duties outside of the office. Trying to regulate in this area requires the application of decades old employment laws to a context never even contemplated by the legislatures that wrote those rules. This book explores the emerging issues of virtual work―defining employment, litigating claims, aggregating cases, unionizing workers, and preventing harassment―and provides clarity to these areas, synthesizing the current case law, statutory rules, and academic literature to

Written by one of the world's leading international lawyers, this is the new and updated edition of Jan Klabbers' landmark textbook. International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the legal relationship between nations and states', but in reality it is much more complex, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors shaping the law and its application. This refreshingly clear, concise textbook encourages students to view international law as a dynamic system of organising the world. Bringing international law back to its first principles, the book is organised around four questions: Where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does it resolve conflict? And what does it say? Building on these questions with both academic rigour and clarity of expression, Professor Klabbers breathes life and energy into the subject. Footnotes point students to the wider academic debate while chapter introductions and final remarks reinforce learning. This third edition includes r

Microelectronic Circuits, Eighth Edition, is intended as a text for the core courses inelectronic circuits taught to majors in electrical and computer engineering. It shouldalso prove useful to engineers and other professionals wishing to update their knowledgethrough self-study.As was the case with the first seven editions, the objective of this book is to develop inthe reader the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital,discrete and integrated. While the application of integrated circuits is covered, emphasisis placed on transistor circuit design, This is done because of our belief that even if themajority of those studying this book were not to pursue a career in IC design, knowledgeof what is inside the IC package would enable intelligent and innovative application ofsuch chips. Furthermore, with the advances in VLSI technology and design methodology,IC design itself has become accessible to an increasing number of engineers.
