Download or read book Encyclopedia of Distances written by Michel Marie Deza and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distance metrics and distances have become an essential tool in many areas of pure and applied Mathematics, and this encyclopedia is the first one to treat the subject in full. The book appears just as research intensifies into metric spaces and especially, distance design for applications. These distances are particularly crucial, for example, in computational biology, image analysis, speech recognition, and information retrieval. Here, an assessment of the practical questions arising during selection of a "good'' distance function has been left aside in favor of a comprehensive listing of the main available distances, a useful tool for the distance design community. This reader-friendly reference offers both independent introductions and definitions, while at the same time making cross-referencing easy through hyperlink-like boldfaced references to original definitions. This high-quality publication is a mix of reference resource and coffee-table book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at students, faculty and professionals in the aerospace field, this book provides practical information on the development, analysis, and control of a single and/or multiple spacecraft in space. This book is divided into two major sections: single and multiple satellite motion. The first section analyses the orbital mechanics, orbital perturbations, and attitude dynamics of a single satellite around the Earth. Using the knowledge of a single satellite motion, the translation of a group of satellites called formation flying or constellation is explained. Formation flying has been one of the main research topics over the last few years and this book explains different control approaches to control the satellite attitude motion and/or to maintain the constellation together. The control schemes are explained in the discrete domain such that it can be easily implemented on the computer on board the satellite. The key objective of this book is to show the reader the practical and the implementation process in the discrete domain. - Explains the orbital motion and principal perturbations affecting the satellite - Uses the Ares V rocket as an example to explain the attitude motion of a space vehicle - Presents the practical approach for different control actuators that can be used in a satellite

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planetary systems of the micro- and macrocosm considered as two nodal points in the structure of matter, the author proposes hypotheses in which the laws of one system are transferred to another. The quantization of orbits in the solar and satellite systems is proved. An explanation is given of the reasons for the deceleration of artificial satellites, secular changes in orbital elements, and rotational speeds of bodies. The analysis of various theories of the origin of the solar system is given. The transfer of the laws of the macrocosm to the micro world allows us to interpret the entropy term in the equation of thermodynamic potential as the orbital kinetic energy of molecules gravitating relative to each other. A chemical bond is considered as a result of micro gravitation between the masses of nuclei. A gravitational equation is proposed for the micro world the calculations of the binding energy on which coincide with the experimental data. Additional chapters discuss the energy of the hydrogen cycle, the reasons for the multiplicity of masses and the periodicity of the properties of chemical elements, as well as the orbital mechanism of aggregate transitions, the new concept of Earth's magnetism and оn the strong interaction in matter.Author: AT Serkov, chapters 22-27 together with AA Serkov and MB Radishevsky
