Autonomous vehicles use global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to provide a position within a few centimeters of truth. Centimeter positioning requires accurate measurement of each satellite's direct path propagation time. Multipath corrupts the propagation time estimate by creating a time-varying bias. A GNSS receiver model is developed and the effects of multipath are investigated. MATLABtm code is provided to enable readers to run simple GNSS receiver simulations. More specifically, GNSS signal models are presented and multipath mitigation techniques are described for various multipath conditions. Appendices are included in the booklet to derive some of the basics on early minus late code synchronization methods. Details on the numerically controlled oscillator and its properties are also given in the appendix.

This book discusses the complexities inherent in preserving and interpreting the extraordinary range of culturally significant objects entrusted to museums. From how museums acquire their holdings, to how they are conserved, to how accessible they are, the book presents an encompassing look at every aspect of the duties museum by definition assume

How to Get a Museum Job discusses ways people can seek and apply for the full range of positions found in most museums. It is based on the author's experience in hiring and being hired within what can be a mysterious and even esoteric world. The book is designed to be very practical offers clear and comprehensive directions.

Deaccessioning Today: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive international overview of deaccessioning. Author Steven Miller covers reasons for removing items from collections, looks at how and why deaccessioning occurs in museums around the world, and discusses recommended disposition procedures.

Reevaluates the role of war in politics and society based on an expanded definition of the violence that it entails, with special attention to the destruction of nonliving things such as dead bodies, cities, artworks, archives, or languages, and to extreme violence such as torture and rape.
