2010 First International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering was held in Wuhan, China December 4-5. Advanced Electrical and Electronics Engineering book contains 72 revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include, Power Engineering, Telecommunication, Control engineering, Signal processing, Iintegrated circuit, Electronic amplifier, Nano-technologies, Circuits and networks, Microelectronics, Analog circuits, Digital circuits, Nonlinear circuits, Mixed-mode circuits, Circuits design, Sensors, CAD tools, DNA computing, Superconductivity circuits.

This book presents the design and development of an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled, smart sensor to detect nitrate contamination in natural water. It considers three different sensors designed, fabricated and configured for nitrate detection: a Graphite/PDMS and Si-based MEMS sensors, and aFR4-based sensor. It also introduces a selective polymer material developed by means of the ion imprinting polymerization technique that was used as a coating on the Si-based MEMS sensor.Further, the book discusses the development of a smart sensing system that can be used to remotely monitor the nitrate concentration in any water. Fully explaining all the techniques used, the book is of interest to engineers, researchers and scientists working in the field of the water-quality measurement.

This book presents the physical science experiments in a space microgravity environment conducted on board the SJ-10 recoverable satellite, which was launched on April 6th, 2016 and recovered on April 18th, 2016. The experiments described were selected from ~100 proposals from various institutions in China and around the world, and have never previously been conducted in the respective fields. They involve fluid physics and materials science, and primarily investigate the kinetic properties of matter in a space microgravity environment. The book provides a comprehensive review of these experiments, as well as the mission’s execution, data collection, and scientific outcomes.

Il legame tra teoria musicale e conoscenza scientifica si presenta nel suo sviluppo storico come un affascinante dialogo tra due saperi che nel corso dei secoli si consolidano separatamente, ma nello stesso tempo si collegano in modo sempre più stretto. Questo dialogo, questa invenzione a due voci, si trasforma poi gradualmente in una polifonia a quattro voci, perché intervengono anche altri due ambiti a lungo esclusi dalla relazione tra musica e scienza: il mondo della musica suonata, cantata, danzata e il mondo della liuteria, della creazione e del perfezionamento degli strumenti musicali. Gli incontri e gli scontri tra queste quattro voci sono l'oggetto del libro.

This book shows some contributions presented in the 2010 International Conference on Robotic Welding, Intelligence and Automation (RWIA’2010), Oct. 14-16, 2010, Shanghai, China.

This book is dedicated to the adoption of broadband microwave reflectometry (BMR)-based methods for diagnostics and monitoring applications. This electromagnetic technique has established as a powerful tool for monitoring purposes; in fact, it can balance several contrasting requirements, such as the versatility of the system, low implementation cost, real-time response, possibility of remote control, reliability, and adequate measurement accuracy.
