Sommario/riassunto

Cryogenic Technology and Applications describes the need for smaller cryo-coolers as a result of the advances in the miniaturization of electrical and optical devices and the need for cooling and conducting efficiency. Cryogenic technology deals with materials at low temperatures and the physics of their behavior at these temps. The



book demonstrates the ongoing new applications being discovered for cryo-cooled electrical and optical sensors and devices, with particular emphasis on high-end commercial applications in medical and scientific fields as well as in the aerospace and military industries. This book summarizes the important aspects of cryogenic technology critical to the design and development of refrigerators, cryo-coolers, and micro-coolers needed by various commercial, industrial, space and military systems. Cryogenic cooling plays an important role in unmanned aerial vehicle systems, infrared search and track sensors, missile warning receivers, satellite tracking systems, and a host of other commercial and military systems. * Provides an overview of the history of the development of cryogenic technology * Includes the latest information on micro-coolers for military and space applications * Offers detailed information on high-capacity cryogenic refrigerator systems used in applications such as food storage, high-power microwave and laser sensors, medical diagnostics, and infrared detectors

Sommario/riassunto

This textbook on knowledge management draws on the authors’ more than thirty years of research, teaching, and consulting experience. The first edition of this book brought together European, Asian, and American perspectives on knowledge-based value creation; The second edition included digital transformation's impact on knowledge work and management. This third edition features substantial updates to all chapters, reflecting the implications of digital technology on knowledge work and knowledge management with special reference to Artificial Intelligence. In particular, it addresses three new topics: blending human and machine intelligence, critical thinking, and ethical use of knowledge, and managing knowledge for sustainable development. The book is intended not only for academic education but also as an essential guide for managers, consultants, trainers, coaches, and all those engaged in business, public administration, or non-profit work who are interested in learning about organizations in a knowledge economy. Given its wealth of case studies, examples, questions, exercises, and easy-to-use knowledge management tools, it offers a true compendium for understanding and implementing knowledge management initiatives.
