Adaptive optics -- The adventurers of sharpness: interferometry -- The Very Large Telescope (VLT), double victory against fuzzy images -- Imaging exoplanets -- Our neighbour the black hole -- The future will be into the details -- Epilogue. .Since the 1960s, astrophysical discoveries have blossomed, due to the emergence of powerful and new observational tools. Among them, a fantastic improvement of the sharpness of astronomical images, obtained with ground based optical telescopes, has been the result of two revolutions: adaptive optics and optical interferometry. Written for a general audience, interwoven with fascinating details about the evolution of vision and optics, this book tells a personal story of these revolutions in observational astronomy, born two centuries ago and blossoming in the past fifty years. With the construction of the Very Large Telescope in Chile, Europe played a leading role where young scientists, joining creative astronomers and engineers, have developed a superb creativity. Today, incredibly sharp images of exoplanetary systems and black hole environments are obtained and reveal new questions about Earth-like objects or fundamental physics. The author has been one of the actors of this adventure. His first-hand testimony is opening the future to new horizons.Astronomers' universe.Imaging systems in astronomyHistoryAstronomical instrumentsHistoryImaging systems in astronomyHistory.Astronomical instrumentsHistory.522Léna Pierre52155MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418448403316Astronomy's quest for sharp images1984745UNISA05760nam 22007454a 450 991082996880332120230617004758.01-280-19833-897866101983370-470-79838-60-470-77388-X1-4051-3754-1(CKB)1000000000342062(EBL)228551(OCoLC)60563736(SSID)ssj0000138057(PQKBManifestationID)11146080(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000138057(PQKBWorkID)10096818(PQKB)10890210(MiAaPQ)EBC228551(EXLCZ)99100000000034206220041019d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDevelopmental problems of childhood and adolescence prevention, treatment, and training[electronic resource] /Martin Herbert1st ed.Malden, MA BPS Blackwell Pub.c20051 online resource (338 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4051-1592-0 Includes bibliographical references (p.

QoS Management of Web Services presents an innovative QoS evaluation framework for these services. Moreover, three QoS prediction methods and two methods for creating fault-tolerant Web services are also proposed in this book. It not only provides the latest research findings, but also presents an excellent overview of the QoS management of Web services, making it a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in service computing.   Zibin Zheng is an associate research fellow at the Shenzhen Research Institute, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China.

Although more recent work on innovation in emerging economies has begun to broaden the picture, innovation in the 'peripheral' regions and sectors of developed economies is still largely unexplored. This book is a unique exploration of how innovation processes operate in peripheral regions, while also looking at the key drivers and challenges organizations face in peripheral areas as they strive to innovate and compete globally. Adopting interdisciplinary approaches from management studies, economics and geography, this book blends theory-building and quantitative approaches to investigate the periphery and innovation nexus, with a focus on bibliometric approach, topic modelling, and patent-based analysis. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of innovation, strategic management, regional development and sustainability.
