1420091700Requirements for next generation networks (NGNs) are fueling an architectural evolution. Service providers are obliged to give users access to content anytime, anyhow, anywhere, on any device. This requires a converged infrastructure in which users across multiple domains can be served through a single unified domain and all network services and business units can be consolidated on a single IP infrastructure.
The Fixed Mobile Convergence Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the design, implementation, and management of converged cellular/WiFi wireless networks. This book discusses how FMC is transforming technologies as multimedia ceases to be passively consumed and unidirectional—and becomes increasingly mobile, personalized and interactive. This book also describes ways to ensure that networks remain cost-effective, scalable, reliable, and secure in the face of constant technological evolution.
This material encapsulates the state of FMC, covering everything from basic concepts to research-grade material and future directions. Addressing a broad range of topics, the handbook consists of 16 chapters authored by 44 experts from around the world. [b]Subjects include:
[/b][list][*]Femtocell network technology and applications
[*]Deployment modes and interference avoidance
[*]Architecture for power efficiency
[*]Conversational quality and network planning
[*]Design of SIP-based mobility management protocols
[/list]Highly respected in their field, the authors anticipate the key issues and problems that FMC presents—from application inception and deployment to system interconnection and Quality of Service (QoS). Ideal for professional mobile technology designers and/or planners, researchers (faculty members and graduate students), this book provides specific salient features and information that will guide innovation in the 21st century and beyond.

0521340586A comprehensive and timely survey of the application of the methods of quantum field theory to statistical physics, a very active and fruitful area of modern research, is provided in two volumes. The first volume provides a pedagogical introduction to the subject, discussing Brownian motion, its anticommutative counterpart in the guise of Onsager's solution to the two-dimensional Ising model, the mean field or Landau approximation, scaling ideas exemplified by the Kosterlitz-Thouless theory for the XY transition, the continuous renormalization group applied to the standard phi-to-the-fourth theory (the simplest typical case) and lattice gauge theory as a pathway to the understanding of quark confinement in quantum chromodynamics.

0787663840For both historical and sentimental reasons, we continue to carry in this new edition the Preface to the first edition originally published twenty years ago. It serves as a reminder of my perception of what I define as “primary religious groups” (replacing the older term denominations), as well as what are the main long-term building blocks of the religious community in a free society. Various kinds of movements, trends, fads, and religious phenomena emerge on the forefront, and for the moment, seem to be “what’s happening” religiously. They remain decade after decade (in some cases century after century) and while the number of denominations grows as the population grows, the denominations persist in providing the stable substructure for religious expression.

Domesticity and Dissent in the Seventeenth Century: English Women Writers and the Public SphereAuthor:
Katharine GillespiePages:

EnglishISBN10:
0521120225Katharine Gillespie examines writings by seventeenth-century English Puritan women who fought for religious freedom. Seeking the right to preach and prophesy, Katherine Chidley, Anna Trapnel, Elizabeth Poole, and Anne Wentworth envisioned the modern political principles of toleration and the separation of church from state, as well as the issues of privacy and individualism. Gillespie's analysis of "pamphlet literatures" of the seventeenth century contributes to the scholarship on revolutionary writings that emerged during the volatile years of England's mid-seventeenth-century Civil War.
