A concise guide to high-performance Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems, customized for crucial public safety and utility applications, explores Radio Access Networks (RANs) within LMR systems. It covers base stations, mobile radios, and portable radios that enable seamless communication through strategically placed base stations, antennas, and combining systems. The book addresses interference issues, emphasizing diagnostic and remedial approaches through field testing and redesign. It particularly focuses on the design intricacies of base station antennas and combining systems at shared radio repeater sites in densely populated areas. The book outlines methods for identifying interference sources and constructing interference-resistant base station antennas and combining systems, ultimately maximizing coverage and cost-effectiveness. It offers a comprehensive roadmap for designing interference resilient LMR systems that meet and exceed the needs of public safety and utility organizations during critical operations. This resource is essential for engineers, designers, and professionals involved in creating reliable and high-performance LMR systems.

True stories of more than a hundred of the boldest and most brazen impostors of the past 500 years.Their stories range from the curious lives of small-time criminals to royal pretenders, notorious murderers and some distinctly peculiar fantasists.You'll find out who the exotic dancer Mata Hari and the mysterious Cazique of Poyais really were and why they hid behind false identities. You'll meet some of the most bizarre, sinister and fascinating people who ever lived... with someone else's identity.They tried to steal fortunes and kingdoms. They impersonated pilots, doctors, native Americans and movie directors. One sold the Eiffel Tower, twice, and another held an airliner for ransom. Fingerprinting, photo-ID, iris scanning and DNA profiling have made it more difficult to use a false identity today, but digital media has given birth to a whole new generation of cyber-impostors.Think you know who your friends are? Think again... Praise for Ian Graham:'The Ultimate Book of Imposters is well-researched, accessible, and difficult to put down. Ideal for some light reading, this is a great book to dip in and out of when you have some spare moments' - Pop Culture Z'Graham exposes the truth behind the world's wildest fraud - and why they did it - and reveals that even those we think we know best may not be exactly who they seem to be' - Sunday TribuneIan Graham is a British author of popular science, technology and history books.

In this fascinating biography, the first ever published about Alfred Maudslay (1850-1931), Ian Graham describes this extraordinary Englishman and his pioneering investigations of the ancient Maya ruins.

This reference details valuable results that lead to improvements in existence theorems for the Loewner differential equation in higher dimensions, discusses the compactness of the analog of the Carath\'eodory class in several variables, and studies various classes of univalent mappings according to their geometrical definitions. It introduces the infinite-dimensional theory and provides numerous exercises in each chapter for further study. The authors present such topics as linear invariance in the unit disc, Bloch functions and the Bloch constant, and growth, covering and distortion results for starlike and convex mappings in Cn and complex Banach spaces.

The second in a four volume Ordinary covering the period before the beginning of the heraldic visitations in 1530 and is designed to enable those with a working knowledge of heraldry to identify medieval British coats of arms. Listed in this volume are entries from Bend to Chevrons.

'Ships that Changed History' is more than just a delight for lovers of the sea - it's a virtual history of the world told through the boats and ships that influenced how and where people lived, the ideas they exchanged and how they won and lost the battles that set the course of later generations and millennia.

This book shows how the energy in crude oil is used to make a fast food snack. It explains how crude oil was formed, how it is obtained and how it is used in the food industry, the science behind cooking and the effects of heat on food, the processes of packaging and preserving food, and finally how fast food is prepared.
