    • Spanish
    Atención inicial al trauma grave. Las primeras 24 horas aborda la atención a la enfermedad traumática grave durante el periodo que engloba desde la atención prehospitalaria hasta al menos las primeras 24 horas. Aunque existen varios cursos que se ocupan de este tema, lo hacen parcialmente y centrándose sobre todo en la atención inicial, la toma de contacto con el enfermo y la toma de decisiones. Este manual destaca por ofrecer una perspectiva de la resucitación que abarca incluso más allá de las primeras 24 horas que forman parte del título. Se incluyen, además, temas como el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, las cuestiones éticas, la atención a múltiples víctimas y los aspectos del manejo inicial en la unidad de cuidados intensivos.

    Modern Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control: From System Modeling to AI and Innovative Applications provides a comprehensive foundation of theory and applications of spacecraft GNC, from fundamentals to advanced concepts, including modern AI-based architectures with focus on hardware and software practical applications. Divided into four parts, this book begins with an introduction to spacecraft GNC, before discussing the basic tools for GNC applications. These include an overview of the main reference systems and planetary models, a description of the space environment, an introduction to orbital and attitude dynamics, and a survey on spacecraft sensors and actuators, with details of their modeling principles. Part 2 covers guidance, navigation, and control, including both on-board and ground-based methods. It also discusses classical and novel control techniques, failure detection isolation and recovery (FDIR) methodologies, GNC verification, validation, and on-board implementation. The final part 3 discusses AI and modern applications featuring different applicative scenarios, with particular attention on artificial intelligence and the possible benefits when applied to spacecraft GNC. In this part, GNC for small satellites and CubeSats is also discussed. Modern Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control: From System Modeling to AI and Innovative Applications is a valuable resource for aerospace engineers, GNC/AOCS engineers, avionic developers, and AIV/AIT technicians.

  • Metal Oxide-Based Heterostructures

    Metal Oxide–Based Heterostructures: Fabrication and Applications provides information on synthesis strategies, structural and hierarchical features, morphological characteristics of metal oxide–based heterostructures, and their diverse applications. This book begins with an introduction to the various multidimensional heterostructures, synthesis aspects, and techniques used to control the formation of heterostructures. Then, the impact of synthesis routes on the formation of mixed metal oxide heterostructures and their properties are analyzed. The effect of nonmetal doping, metal doping, and composites of metal oxide heterostructures on the properties of heterostructures is also addressed and that also includes opportunities for optimization of the material’s performance for specific applications. Special attention is given to the surface characteristics of the metal oxide heterostructures and their impact on the material’s performance, and the applications of metal oxide heterostructures in various fields such as environmental remediation, sensing, organic catalysis, photovoltaics, light emitting materials, and hydrogen production.
