The wind from the sun : introduction -- Tool kit for space plasma physics -- Anatomy of the sun -- The outer solar atmosphere -- How does the solar wind blow? -- Structure and perturbations -- Bodies in the wind : dust, asteroids, planets and comets -- The solar wind in the universe.

Sommario/riassunto

The Sun continually ejects matter into space, blowing a huge bubble of supersonic plasma. This solar wind bathes the whole solar system and shapes all planetary environments. The growth of space technology has considerably increased our knowledge of this medium. This 2007 book presents an introduction to the subject, starting with basic principles and including all the latest advances from space exploration and theory. It contains a short introduction to plasma physics and discusses



the structure of the solar interior and atmosphere, the production of solar wind and its perturbations. It explains the objects of the Solar System, from dust to comets and planets, and their interaction with the solar wind. The final sections explore the astrophysical point of view. The topics are treated at various levels of difficulty both qualitatively and quantitatively. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in earth and atmospheric sciences, and astrophysics.

Sommario/riassunto

In a period of rapid social and economic change, labour markets are undergoing major transformations. This book explores the changing fortunes of young people in Europe's flexible and precarious labour markets, and the range of policies that are being developed to help them deal with the problems they face.

Nota di contenuto

Introduction -- Preliminaries -- Security attacks and defenses in distributed sensor networks -- A Heuristic defense: A soft isolation algorithm for adversarial decision fusion -- Optimum decision fusion in the presence of Byzantines -- Nearly optimum decision fusion via message passing -- Decision fusion of hidden-Markov observations with synchronized attacks -- Decision fusion with unbalanced priors -- Decision fusion game with incomplete knowledge in a Bayesian setup -- Conclusions.



Sommario/riassunto

This book reviews the most powerful attack strategies and potential defense mechanisms, always approaching the interplay between the Fusion Center and the Byzantines from a game-theoretic perspective. For each of the settings considered, the equilibria of the game and the corresponding payoffs are derived, shedding new light on the achievable performance level and the impact that the presence of the Byzantines has on the accuracy of decisions made by the Fusion Center. Accordingly, the book offers a simple yet effective introduction to the emerging field of adversarial information fusion, providing a wealth of intuitive take-home lessons for practitioners interested in applying the most basic notions to the design of practical systems, while at the same time introducing researchers and other readers to the mathematical details behind the theory.
