Sommario/riassunto

"Since the technology has moved strongly into a number of different



areas a textbook of this sort could be used by a wide variety of academic departments including physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering and bioengineering. To make the second edition as widely appealing as possible a series of significant upgrades are planned. 1. The book will be structured to support a variety of academic programs 2. Fundamental components and optical concepts will be supported by a new chapter on sensor concepts and upgrades/updates of the chapters on optical fiber, light sources, detectors and modulators. 3. Each of the existing fiber optic sensor chapters will be updated with major upgrades of the fiber etalon and intensity sensor based chapter that will split into two. A new chapter will be introduced on fiber grating sensors and Brillouin distributed sensing. 4. The "application" chapters of the first edition will be updated and new application chapters introduced on fiber biosensors and fiber optic civil structures. The fiber optic smart structure chapter will be extensively rewritten. 5. Questions will be added to the chapters that will serve to support traditional undergraduate and graduate level courses"--

Sommario/riassunto

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare about a regicide and its aftermath. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and is believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1606. This is a classic audiobook recording read by Sir Anthony Quayle, Robert Hardy and other cast members.Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by three sinister witches, Macbeth murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, and the dead return to haunt him. A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.
