New Books in the HTC Library

Wireless Sensor Networks is an essential guide for anyone interested in wireless communications for sensor networks, home networking, or device hacking. It covers a large number of topics encountered in the architecture, application, and recent advancements of a wireless sensor network, including hardware and software architectures, the Internet of Things, routing and security, MANETs, MEMS, Zigbee, TDMA, securing networks for WiFi, ubiquitous sensor networks, underwater, mobile, and multimedia wireless networks. Features:• Includes a wide range of applications to industry, science, transportation, civil infrastructure, and security • Covers the Internet of Things (IoT), MEMS, Zigbee, TDMA, mobile wireless networks, and more • Features article on securing networks for WiFi by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Engineering

The book is an introduction to the rapidly emerging field of fiber optic sensors that is having significant impact upon areas such as guidance and control, structural monitoring, process control, biotechnology, geographical information systems and medicine.

This compilation opens with a section discussing the key interactions required to successfully friction stir weld carbon steels. Friction stir welding is a relatively recent development, predominantly technologically established using aluminum, where the lower melting point of the material greatly aided the process. Next, corrosion models of carbon steel in aqueous solution are reviewed under atmospheric and oxygen depleted environments by focusing on the cathodic reaction and the corrosion film formed on carbon steel as a function of pH and anions. In conclusion, the temperature relation of interlamellar spacing of pearlite with supercooling in carbon steels, based on a previously theoretically foundation, has been determined by the pearlite and bainite phase volumes in alloy steels from the degree of supercooling.
