The 6th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation, initiated by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), was again hosted by DLR, the German Aerospace Center. The participation of scientists, engineers, and managers from 24 countries reflected the high interest in the use of small satellites for dedicated missions applied to Earth observation. The contributions showed that dedicated Earth observation missions cover a wide range of very different tasks.

This book presents the latest trends in and approaches to computational intelligence research and its application to intelligent systems. It covers a long list of interconnected research areas, such as fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, clustering and classification, machine learning, data mining, cognition and robotics, and deep learning. The individual chapters are based on peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 18th Annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI-2018), held in Nottingham, UK on September 5-7, 2018. The book puts a special emphasis on novel methods and reports on their use in a wide range of applications areas, thus providing both academics and professionals with a comprehensive and timely overview of new trends in computational intelligence.

The publication of the first edition of Physics in 1960 launched the modern era of physics textbooks. It was a new paradigm then and, after 40 years, it continues to be the dominant model for all texts. The big change in the market has been a shift to a lower level, more accessible version of the model. Fundamentals of Physics is a good example of this shift. In spite of this change, there continues to be a demand for the original version and, indeed, we are seeing a renewed interest in Physics as demographic changes have led to greater numbers of well-prepared students entering university. Physics is the only book available for academics looking to teach a more demanding course.

The Flight Navigator Handbook provides information on all phases of air navigation and is a source of reference for everyone in the field, from navigators to navigator students. This handbook explains how to measure, chart the earth, and use flight instruments to solve basic navigation problems. It also contains data pertaining to flight publications, preflight planning, in-flight procedures, and low altitude navigation. Specific topics covered throughout the pages of this informational and helpful guide include: Reading maps, charts, and grids Dead reckoning Radio aid fixing and radio navigation Celestial concepts and special celestial techniques Computing altitude Pressure pattern navigation And much more! Additional information can also be found in the four included and up-to-date appendixes. This includes a listing of references and supporting information used in this publication; mathematical formulas to use as an aid in preflight and in-flight computations; chart and navigation symbols; and a Celestial Computation Sheet.

A discussion of the fundamental changes that occur when dynamical systems from the fields of nonlinear optics, solids, hydrodynamics and biophysics are scaled down to nanosize. The authors are leading scientists in the field and each of their contributions provides a broader introduction to the specific area of research. In so doing, they include both the experimental and theoretical point of view, focusing especially on the effects on the nonlinear dynamical behavior of scaling, stochasticity and quantum mechanics. For everybody working on the synthesis and integration of nanoscopic devices who sooner or later will have to learn how to deal with nonlinear effects.

As the dominant creatures on the planet, humans are nonetheless highly reliant on animals for many things. The extent of humans¿ use of animals in food, research, clothing, entertainment, sport and companionship is immeasurable. This book features a range of information about the wellbeing and protection of animals, much of which is produced by animal welfare advocacy groups. The book contains three chapters: Animal Welfare and Rights; Animal Use in Research and Testing; and Animal Use and Exploitation. Featured issues include human attitudes and opinions about animals, animal-based scientific and medical experimentation, animals in product testing, factory farming, treatment of pets, the use of animals in sport and entertainment, and the beliefs and practices of vegans and vegetarians. Do we treat animals humanely enough?Chapter 1: Animal Welfare and RightsChapter 2: Animals in Research and TestingChapter 3: Animal Use and ExploitationGlossary; Fast facts; Web links; Index
