  • Summary

    The most basic and most widely used form of mapping binary information to a physical transmit signal and back is digital pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM). As the name suggests, here the information is carried in the (complex-valued) amplitude of a basic pulse. We deal with real-valued and complex-valued amplitude coefficients in a unified manner. Thus, all kinds of baseband (amplitude-shift keying (ASK)) and carrier-modulated (quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM) and phase-shift keying (PSK)) signal formats are included in the concept of PAM. PAM is the simplest form of digital modulation but establishes the basis for enhanced variants discussed in subsequent chapters. In this chapter, the focus is on modulation and demodulation operations. As, in a first approach, no channel coding is considered, modulation reduces to a symbol-by-symbol mapping of blocks of binary source symbols to signal points and detection at the receiver side can also be performed symbol by symbol. Strategies for optimum signal detection and conditions for continuous transmission of sequences of symbols without intersymbol interference (ISI) over non-dispersive channels are precisely developed.

  • Summary

    Minecraft is the most popular video game in history. Created by Markus “Notch” Persson using Java, it has sold more than 250 million copies since its first release in 2011. Minecraft is a sandbox-style game with no plot or required goals: Players explore an open three-dimensional world made of cubic blocks, and can mine for resources, craft items, and build. Every Minecraft world is effectively infinite and procedurally generated. Rather than having a fixed map, the game automatically generates new terrain as the player explores the world. The idea of procedurally generated game worlds goes back to some of the earliest computer games, including the highly influential Rogue (1980), which sent the player on a crawl through a brutally difficult random dungeon and inspired an entire genre of successors.

  • This concise and rigorous textbook introduces students to continuum thermodynamics, combining a complete treatment of the subject with practical applications to material modelling. It presents mathematical prerequisites and the foundations of continuum mechanics, then introduces more advanced topics such as theories for the investigation of material models. Taking the student step-by-step through the subject, it allows full understanding of the theory and how it relates to real-world practical applications. Packed with examples and illustrations to describe complex concepts and mathematical derivations, and including end-of-chapter problems with helpful hints, this is the ideal, accessible introduction to continuum thermodynamics for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and civil engineering.

  • The law that regulates armed conflicts is one of the oldest branches of international law, and yet continues to be one of the most dynamic and relevant areas of law today. Now in its third edition, this textbook provides an accessible, scholarly, and up-to-date examination of international humanitarian law, offering students and teachers a comprehensive and logical discussion and analysis of the law. The textbook contains detailed examples, extracts from relevant cases, and useful discussion questions and a recommended reading list for each chapter, to help students and teachers alike engage with the subject matter, and grasp how the theory and the practice interact. Developing and emerging trends in theory and practice of international humanitarian law are also explored and examined, allowing for readers to build on their knowledge, and grapple with some of the biggest challenges facing the law of armed conflict in the twenty-first century.

  • Remedies in Australian Private Law presents a detailed and scholarly map of remedies under Australian private law. Clearly structured and accessibly written, the text takes a black-letter law approach to remedies in common law, equity and statute, and develops a framework for understanding the principles of private law remedies and their practical application. The third edition has been updated to include recent cases in remedial law, offering students clear links between principles and practice, and provides more in-depth coverage of compensation under the Australian Consumer Law. Reasonable fee awards and disgorgement and accounts of profit are now addressed in separate chapters to reflect recent changes in international case law. Written by an expert author team, Remedies in Australian Private Law enables students and practitioners to develop a coherent understanding of remedial law and to analyse legal problems and identify appropriate remedial solutions.

  • Corporate governance plays a key role in ensuring that companies act responsibly and legally in the pursuit of long-term, sustainable growth. Now in its fifth edition, Principles of Contemporary Corporate Governance offers a comprehensive introduction to the rules and regulations of corporate governance systems. It takes an inclusive stakeholder approach to examine how companies apply corporate governance principles in the private sector. The four-part structure has been consolidated and streamlined to provide logical coverage of fundamental contemporary themes and issues. The text has been updated to include new case studies and discussion of recent developments, such as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the destruction of a sacred rock shelter at Juukan Gorge. A new section on corporate governance in Singapore offers insight into corporate governance internationally. Written by an expert author team, Principles of Contemporary Corporate Governance remains an indispensable resource for business and law students studying corporate governance.

Teaching to Transform Learning
  • Pedagogies for Inclusive, Responsive and Socially Just Education

  • Teaching to Transform Learning: Pedagogies for Inclusive, Responsive and Socially Just Education provides a foundational discussion of a range of teaching and learning strategies aiming to engage all learners by embracing their lived experiences, histories, contexts and identities. Section one outlines concepts that frame and underpin approaches to pedagogy that are inclusive of and engage all learners. These concepts include exploring Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing; traversing identities in the school, self and system; and understanding culturally and religiously responsive pedagogies. Section two builds on these concepts and presents contemporary approaches to engage all learners, with a focus on visual art and body-based learning, nature-based approaches and learning outside of the classroom. Section three emphasises empowering strategies for skill development and futures thinking for all students, focusing on citizenship education, transdisciplinary inquiry and flipping constructivist pedagogies to better enable depth and breadth of student learning.

  • Teaching for Linguistic Diversity in Schools: Student Wellbeing and Achievement explores the linguistic landscape of Australia, including English, Indigenous languages, community languages and school-taught modern languages, to help teachers recognise the extent of children's language knowledge and to reflect on its implications for the classroom. The book explores the significant links between languages, wellbeing and academic achievement in students and offers readers practical suggestions for how to utilise linguistic diversity as an educational resource. The authors' conversational writing style engages both pre-service and practising teachers, helping them understand concepts they may not have previously encountered, while the case studies and stories from practising educators, students and parents bridge the gap between theory and practice. Each chapter includes reflection questions, creative activities and discussion questions to scaffold learning. The integrated online resources contain links to useful websites, further readings and videos to encourage independent exploration.
