Technologie industrielle déjà expérimentée dans divers pays, le captage et le stockage du CO2 consistent à récupérer le dioxyde de carbone et à l’injecter dans des pièges géologiques profonds. Cette solution, qui participe à la lutte contre le changement climatique, suscite un intérêt croissant en France suite au Grenelle de l’environnement. Cet ouvrage propose – pour la première fois – un état des connaissances dressé par des spécialistes de l’Institut de physique du globe, du Bureau des recherches géologiques et minières, de l’Institut français du pétrole et du Centre national de la recherche scientifique. Il fait le point sur les enjeux de cette nouvelle technologie en France.
Au-delà des discussions techniques entre experts, l’ouvrage s’intéresse aux enjeux de communication externe et aux débats publics ouverts. Les points de vue des diverses parties prenantes – organismes de recherche, ONG environnementales (Réseau Action Climat France), lobby europ

A self-contained approach to DSP techniques and applications in radar imaging

The processing of radar images, in general, consists of three major fields: Digital Signal Processing (DSP); antenna and radar operation; and algorithms used to process the radar images. This book brings together material from these different areas to allow readers to gain a thorough understanding of how radar images are processed.

The book is divided into three main parts and covers:

* DSP principles and signal characteristics in both analog and digital domains, advanced signal sampling, and interpolation techniques
*

Antenna theory (Maxwell equation, radiation field from dipole, and linear phased array), radar fundamentals, radar modulation, and target-detection techniques (continuous wave, pulsed Linear Frequency Modulation, and stepped Frequency Modulation)
*

Properties of radar images, algorithms used for radar image processing, simulation examples, and resu… More >>

Digital Signal Processing Techniques and Applications in Radar Image Processing

“Can your employees return to their jobs and use the new technology skills they just learned in training?” It’s easy to remember the good teachers—from grammar school, high school, college, day camp, and even music class. They are the ones you remember because they created memorable training. The lessons they taught are not forgotten. People remember what they have learned when the training includes a variety of stimuli, real-life examples, group discussion, humor, and questioning techniques. Learners focus on a trainer’s every word when instructional methods and classroom techniques are motivating and stimulating. Technology is all around us! We use it for our jobs, at the supermarket, and pretty soon it will be needed for a doctor’s visit. Clearly, employees today are using technology more than ever in almost every field of endeavor. Whether they are learning new software, updating skills or tasked with improving job performance, instruction must be clear, concise a… More >>

Techniques for Technology Training

This 20th volume of the “Physical Acoustics” series focuses on the acoustic study of high-temperature superconductors and related materials. In addition to chapters on cuprate superconductors, the book includes three chapters on some unconventional superconductors, and magnetic re-entrant superconductors. The book concludes with a theoretical chapter that seeks to provide a framework for understanding the different mechanisms that may be responsible for superconductivity in these novel materials….

Reference for Modern Instrumentation, Techniques, and Technology: Ultrasonic Instruments and Devices I, Volume 23

This book provides a perspective on the current status of bioimaging technologies developed to assess the quality of musculoskeletal tissue with an emphasis on bone and cartilage. It offers evaluations of scaffold biomaterials developed for enhancing the repair of musculoskeletal tissues. These bioimaging techniques include micro-CT, nano-CT, pQCT/QCT, MRI, and ultrasound, which provide not only 2-D and 3-D images of the related organs or tissues, but also quantifications of the relevant parameters. The advance bioimaging technologies developed for the above applications are also extended by incorporating imaging contrast-enhancement materials. Thus, this book will provide a unique platform for multidisciplinary collaborations in education and joint R&D among various professions, including biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and basic and clinical medicine. … More >>

High-Performance Data Network Design contains comprehensive coverage of network design, performance, and availability. Tony Kenyon provides the tools to solve medium- to large-scale data network design problems from the ground up. He lays out a practical and systematic approach that integrates network planning, research, design, and deployment, using state-of-the-art techniques in performance analysis, cost analysis, simulation, and topology modeling.

The proliferation and complexity of data networks today is challenging our ability to design and manage them effectively. A new generation of Internet, e-commerce, and multimedia applications has changed traditional assumptions on traffic dynamics, and demands tight quality of service and security guarantees. These issues, combined with the economics of moving large traffic volumes across international backbones, mean that the demands placed on network designers, planners, and managers are now greater than ever before.
