Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design

Fixed broadband networks can provide far higher data rates and capacity than the currently envisioned 3G and 4G cellular systems. Achieving higher data rates and capacity is due to the unique technical properties of fixed systems, in particular, the use of high gain directional antennas, wide frequency bands, dynamic data rate allocation, and advanced multiple access techniques.Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design: Provides a concise presentation of the engineering principles, advanced networks, multiple access and air interface techniques, and design methodology of fixed broadband wireless systems Explains fixed broadband wireless systems in the context of first principles and discusses the existing wireless technology Shows how fixed broadband wireless systems can be used for the practical design and deployment of fixed systems Describes how fixed broadband wireless systems can serve a variety of service objectives and data delivery applications
At present, there are no titles... Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design

Principles Of Toxicology

Written by two experienced toxicology lecturers, Principles of Toxicology is an easy-to-read, comprehensive textbook for a first course in toxicology at the undergraduate or graduate level. The book covers this broad and interdisciplinary field from the viewpoint of three different functional levels: molecular and cellular; physiological; and environmental and ecological. This revised second edition expands the diversity of the book by adding chapters on the role of toxicology in genomics, mechanisms of cell death, pharmacology and drug development, and forensics. The book also includes a series of brief case studies illustrating the application of principles to current issues of interest.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System

The pacemaking and conduction system (PCS) is vital for generating and synchronizing the heart beat. Dysfunction of this system can be a direct cause of cardiac conduction disturbance, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. A wealth of information has been collected over many years on the unique histological, morphological and phenotypic characteristics of specialized cardiac tissues. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern development of the PCS are now starting to be understood.
This book draws together contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of experts working on both basic and clinical aspects of cardiac development. It features reviews of the structure and function of the developing PCS, discussion of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating embryological development of this system and studies on the fundamental basis of PCS pathology. The book also considers how novel therapeutic interventions based on understanding... Development of the Cardiac Conduction System
