The goal of this Handbook on UCITS is to provide a one-stop source for investors and asset managers, service providers, students, researchers, and practitioners to learn the necessary knowledge and analytical skills they need when setting up, managing and monitoring a UCITS fund.

Scientists largely attribute the recent deterioration of the electromagnetic environment to power electronics. This realization has spurred the study of methodical approaches to electromagnetic compatibility designs as explored in this text.

This book covers the impact of sustainable masonry on the environment, touting the many benefits of utilizing local and/or low embodied energy materials in the construction of sustainable buildings. .

Proportionate-type normalized least mean square (PtNLMS) offer low computational complexity and fast convergence times, for sparse impulse responses in network and acoustic echo cancellation applications. Introducing this important subject, this book then develops and analyzes these algorithms.

This book is a contribution to the definition of a model based system engineering (MBSE) approach, designed to meet the objectives laid out by the INCOSE. After pointing out the complexity that jeopardizes a lot of system developments, the book examines fundamental aspects of systems under consideration.

Mechatronics represents a unifying engineering science paradigm and an interdisciplinary knowledge area that addresses interactions in terms of ways of working and thinking, practical experiences, and theoretical knowledge. This book examines how, for instance, mechatronics engineering and mechatronics science are about different things.

A promising long-term evolution of surgery relies on intracorporeal microrobotics. This book reviews the physical and methodological principles, and the scientific challenges to be tackled to design and control such robots.

This book proposes systemic design methodologies applied to electrical energy systems, in particular integrated optimal design with modeling and optimization methods and tools. It is made up of six chapters dedicated to integrated optimal design.

This book presents the principles and techniques of program specialization a general method to make programs faster (and possibly smaller) when some inputs can be known in advance.

The growing occurrence of heterogeneous materials such as composites or coated substrates in structural parts makes it necessary for designers and scientists to deal with the specific features of the mechanical behavior of solid interfaces.

Presents recent developments of probabilistic assessment of systems dependability based on stochastic models, including graph theory, finite state automaton and language theory, for both dynamic and hybrid contexts. .

The dynamic of the Energy Transition is engaged in many region of the World. This is a real challenge for electric systems and a paradigm shift for existing distribution networks.

Providing a sound grounding in this challenging area, Energy Geostructures discusses the recent advances and current knowledge in the geotechnical design of energy geostructures. Energy geostructures have been a tremendous innovation in the field of foundation engineering and are rapidly spreading all around the world.

Utilizing heuristics to present some fundamentals of probability theory, this book discusses the ideas and concepts common to all random problems.

This book presents a general overview of the applications and use of geopositioning and GNSS for assisting the supervision and management of mobile terrestrial professions, information, traffic regulation, multimodal information, pedestrian mobility and indoor geopositioning, etc.

Fault-tolerant control theory is a well-studied topic but the use of the sets in detection, isolation and/or reconfiguration is rather tangential. The authors of this book propose a systematic analysis of the set-theoretic elements and devise approaches which exploit advanced elements within the field.

This book studies dispersion engineering in regular and graded photonic crystals to promote anomalous refraction effects from the concepts to the experimental demonstration via nanofabrication considerations.

Based on a convergence of network technologies, the Next Generation Network (NGN) is being deployed to carry high quality video and voice data. In fact, the convergence of network technologies has been driven by the converging needs of end-users.

In the last two decades, wireless telecommunication systems have experienced at least three major technological leaps. In Wireless Telecommunication Systems, the authors offer a macroscopic approach on wireless systems, answering key questions about power, data rates, multiple access, cellular engineering, and access networks architectures.

This book offers the reader the keys for a successful understanding, integration and usage of satellite systems in addition to next generation terrestrial networks. The DVB-S2/RCS system is used to illustrate the integration challenges. The presentation uses a system approach, i.e.

This book offers complete, practical guidance to all aspects yield design. It presents the core theory as the basis for the implementation of the Ultimate Limit State Design (ULSD) philosophy, emphasizing compatibility between equilibrium and resistance in yield design analyses.

Quantum networks build on entanglement and quantum measurement to achieve tasks that are beyond the reach of classical systems. Using quantum effects, we can detect the presence of eavesdroppers, raise the sensitivity of scientific instruments such as telescopes, or teleport quantum data from one location to another.

Voice over LTE (Long Term Evolution) presents the mechanisms put in place in 4G mobile networks for the transportation of IP packets containing voice data and telephone signaling, as well as the technologies used to provide a telephone service in the IMS (IP Multimedia Sub-system) network.

This book describes the different principles and equipment used in medical imaging. The importance of medical imaging for diagnostics is rapidly increasing. A good working knowledge of all the different possible physical principles involved in medical imaging is now imperative.

Written within the framework of the European Union project ERRIC, Optimization in Engineering Sciences presents the main metaheuristics and approximate and stochastic methods for optimization of complex systems in engineering sciences.

The authors describe a technique that can visualize the atomic structure of molecules, it is necessary, in terms of the image processing, to consider the reconstruction of sparse images. Many works have leveraged the assumption of sparsity in order to achieve an improved performance that would not otherwise be possible.

Briefly presenting different methods from well established to more recent, Co-Clustering considers a number of different approaches and addresses the difficulty of these classical methods to tackle the high dimensionality, the sparsity, and the scalability that leads to co-clustering.

This book applies the method of moments (MoM) to compute the field scattered by scatterers as well as by an object above or below a random rough surface. Since the problem is considered as 2D, the integral equations are scalar and only the TE and TM polarizations are addressed.

This book provides an introduction to spatial analyses concerning disaggregated (or micro) spatial data. Particular emphasis is put on spatial data compilation and the structuring of the connections between the observations.

Passive and active safety systems (ABS, ESP, safety belts, airbags, etc. ) represent a major advance in terms of safety in motoring. They are increasingly developed and installed in cars and are beginning to appear in twowheelers.
