Model Based Systems Engineering
Well-structured and interdisciplinary overview of MBSE, covering both theoretical foundations and practical applications Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Model Based System Engineering provides a comprehensive introduction to understanding and applying model-based system engineering (MBSE) principles and practices in the design, development, and management of complex systems. Throughout the book, readers will find case studies, practical examples and exercises, and multiple-choice questions that reinforce key concepts and promote active learning. The book begins by exploring the historical context of MBSE, highlighting its emergence as a response to the limitations of traditional document-centric approaches. It emphasizes the crucial role of abstraction in MBSE and introduces key concepts, definitions, and taxonomies that form the bedrock of this discipline. Subsequent chapters delve into the core principles of modeling, examining the intricate relationships between systems, languages, and models. Sample topics covered in Model Based System Engineering include: * Prefaced by Bran Selic, a world authority on MBSE and software engineering * Model verification and validation, exploring various techniques, such as model checking, simulation, and testing that enable the early detection and resolution of design errors and inconsistencies * Model-based system architecting, methodological considerations, and application in real-world contexts * Various modeling paradigms, including structural and behavioral models * The pivotal role of languages in enabling effective modeling practices * Benefits of formalization in enhancing the precision, consistency, and analyzability of system models Model Based System Engineering is an essential resource for systems engineers, researchers, and students seeking to understand and harness the power of MBSE in tackling the complexities of modern systems.

Long-range Low-power Devices Based on LoRa Backscattering for Next Generation IoT Applications
This book explores a novel approach to ultra-low-power and long-range wireless communication for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices through LoRa-based backscatter technology. It begins by analyzing the challenges in traditional IoT systems - energy consumption, scalability, interoperability and security - before introducing backscatter communication as a promising alternative. By leveraging LoRa's long-range capabilities and the energy efficiency of the backscatter technique, it proposes a solution that significantly reduces power consumption while preserving effective communication performance. Long-range Low-power Devices Based on LoRa Backscattering for Next Generation IoT Applications presents theoretical foundations, system architecture and tag design, including various modulation schemes and front-end implementations. Several real-world applications are examined, such as indoor localization, smart medical implants, wearable health monitoring and smart home automation. Through practical experiments and performance evaluations, it is demonstrated that LoRa backscattering systems offer a viable and scalable path toward sustainable, maintenance-free IoT nodes. This book serves as a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers specializing in low-power wireless communication systems for IoT. [224 Pages, Hardcover]

Photonic Imaging for Biology
Light microscopy is a central tool in biological research, allowing scientists to observe living cells and organisms with details invisible to the naked eye. Since its inception in the 17th century, it has evolved through key innovations in optics, staining, electronics and informatics. Major milestones include phase contrast, differential interference contrast, immunofluorescence, genetically encoded fluorescent proteins, confocal microscopy and super-resolution microscopy. The discovery of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) revolutionized molecular biology, while 21st-century advances, such as super-resolution microscopy and artificial intelligence, have pushed imaging capabilities even further. Modern microscopes now integrate digital imaging, advanced optics and computational analysis for enhanced visualization and interpretation. Photonic Imaging for Biology outlines major microscopy techniques that have driven biological discoveries, starting with fundamental principles and covering a range of methods, including brightfield, fluorescence, confocal, light-sheet, single particle tracking, photoperturbation, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy. The book concludes with a chapter on image analysis, highlighting recent progress in artificial intelligence. Each chapter focuses on specific techniques and their applications, strengths and limitations. [256 Pages, Hardcover]
