Panorama esencial de las comunicaciones por satelite realizado por la organizacion que establece las normas internacionales Desde su introduccion a mediados del decenio de 1960, las comunicaciones por satelite han pasado de ser un experimento futurista a formar parte integrante del actual "mundo interconectado". Las comunicaciones por satelite constituyen el nucleo de una red telefonica mundial con conmutacion, con mas de 140,000 canales de comunicaciones en funcionamiento (voz, datos, video), contando solo en el sistema INTELSAT. Elaborado por la Union Internacional de Telecomunicaciones–la organizacion internacional que establece las normas para esta industria en rapido crecimiento–el Manual de comunicaciones por satelite, Tercera Edicion reune los hechos fundamentales en el sector de las comunicaciones por satelite en relacion con el servicio...

Ping-Chun Hsiung

In Taiwan, small-scale subcontracting factories of thirty employees or less make items for export, like the wooden jewelry boxes that Ping-Chun Hsiung made when she worked in six such factories. These factories are found in rice fields and urban areas, front yards and living rooms, mostly employing married women in line with the government slogan that promotes work in the home?"Living Rooms as Factories." Hsiung studies the experiences of the married women who work in this satellite system of factories, and how their work and family lives have contributed to Taiwan's 9.1 percent GNP growth over the last three decades, the "economic miracle." This vivid portrayal of the dual lives of these women as wives, mothers, daughters-in-law and as manufacturing workers also provides sophisticated analyses of the links between class and gender stratification, family dynamics, state policy, and global restructuring within the process of industrialization. Hsiung uses ethnographic data...

Dust storms are considered natural hazards which affect ecosystems for a short-time interval ranging from a few hours to a few days. Due to the significant impact of dust outbreaks on climate, human health and ecosystems, numerous studies have been conducted throughout the world with differing instrumentation and techniques focusing on the investigation about such events. Focusing mainly on the Sahara desert, this book provides a short review on the recent knowledge about the dust aerosol optical and physico-chemical properties, the seasonal variability of dust outbreaks, the dust source regions, the main pathways towards Southern Europe, which is mostly influenced, and the main results of similar studies. The authors provide a new methodology to the scientific community for the dust transport monitoring using a combination of satellite data and back-trajectory analysis for the identification of coarse-mode aerosols, Sahara dust (SD) events and the analysis of the dust-transport...
