Portable Hydrogen Energy Systems: Fuel Cells and Storage Fundamentals and Applications covers the basics of portable fuel cells, their types, possibilities for fuel storage, in particular for hydrogen as fuel, and their potential application. The book explores electrochemistry, types, and materials and components, but also includes a chapter on the particularities of their use in portable devices, with a focus on proton exchange membrane (PEM) type. Topics cover fuel storage for these cells, in particular hydrogen storage and an analysis of current possibilities. In addition, portable fuel cell systems are examined, covering auxiliary elements required for operation and possibilities for their miniaturization. Engineers and developers of portable applications and electricity will find this book to provide fundamental information on the possibilities of portable hydrogen fuel cells, including costs and market information, for their planning, modeling, development and deployment. Graduate students and lecturers will find this to be a complementary resource in general hydrogen and fuel cell courses or in specialized courses covering portable systems.

Optical Networks

The fourth edition of Optical Networks continues the tradition of being the authoritative source on optical networking technologies and techniques. Uniquely emphasizing practical networking issues that affect organizations as they evaluate, deploy, or develop optical networks, Optical Networks serve as your guide for every step of optical networking--from planning to implementation through ongoing maintenance. Optical communications has undergone a sea change since the 3rd edition was published. The advent and rapid commercialization of high-speed coherent optics with advanced modulation formats completely changed the way network architecture and link design are conceived and implemented. All of these and more are now discussed in this 4th edition, offering a comprehensive view of a state-of-the-art optical network. Changes to this edition include: Legacy protocols and systems that are being phased out are de-emphasized, and new trends, such as data-centric networks are added to bring current perspectives on optical communication and networks Addresses the most recent trends especially in coherent systems, new fiber types, and Ethernet protocols, ROADMs, client interfaces, and coherent optics Explores the significant advances in electronic chips, line systems, transmissions systems, client/short reach optics, subsea networks, and network design and architecture Covers advanced topics such as CDC ROADM, hybrid amplifiers, and 400G.

A Concrete Approach to Abstract Algebra

• 2nd Edition
• August 1, 2018
• Jeffrey Bergen
• English

A Concrete Approach to Abstract Algebra: From the Integers to the Insolvability of the Quintic, Second Edition provides a primer and reference on abstract algebra for readers whose interests lie in mathematics and information and physical sciences. Adopting the unique ‘rings first’ approach, the work provides a gentle transition into abstract structures that will make abstract algebra more natural to interested readers.In addition to introducing the major concepts of modern algebra, the book covers numerous applications which are intended to illustrate the concepts and convince the reader of the utility and relevance of algebra today. This Second Edition features 40% new or revised content, including complete and self-contained proofs of the fundamental theorems of algebra and the Insolvability of the Quintic, and new coverage of commutative rings and linear transformations.
