InMedia Hot and ColdNicole Starosielski examines the cultural dimensions of temperature to theorize the ways heat and cold can be used as a means of communication, subjugation, and control. Diving into the history of thermal media, from infrared cameras to thermostats to torture sweatboxes, Starosielski explores the many meanings and messages of temperature. During the twentieth century, heat and cold were broadcast through mass thermal media. Today, digital thermal media such as bodily air conditioners offer personalized forms of thermal communication and comfort. Although these new media promise to help mitigate the uneven effects of climate change, Starosielski shows how they can operate as a form of biopower by determining who has the ability to control their own thermal environment. In this way, thermal media can enact thermal violence in ways that reinforce racialized, colonial, gendered, and sexualized hierarchies. By outlining how the control of temperature reveals power relations, Starosielski offers a framework to better understand the dramatic transformations of hot and cold media in the twenty-first century.

The Media Economy analyzes the media industries and its activities from macro to micro levels, using concepts and theories to demonstrate the role the media plays in the economy as a whole. Representing a rapidly changing and evolving environment, this text breaks new ground through its analysis from two unique perspectives: 1) Examining the media industries from a holistic perspective by analyzing how the media industries function across different levels of society (global, national, household, and individual); 2) Looking at the key forces (technology, globalization, regulation, and social aspects) constantly evolving and influencing the media industries.

The second volume of the series is devoted to applications of mechatronics in material processing and robotics. Both classical machining methods, such as extrusion, forging and milling, and modern ones, such as plasma and ultrasonic machining, are analyzed. An extensive part covers the modeling of these processes, also from a phenomenological point of view. The study analyzes the issues related to robotics in various technological processes as well.

The subject of this first volume of a two-volume set are the issues related to the components and systems of transport machines. Tests of motor vehicle systems are described: suspension dampers, steering, brakes, differentials. Design issues of machine elements operating in extreme conditions are also addressed. The possibility of increasing wear resistance in high-speed and ethanol-powered engines is analyzed. An extensive part covers the dynamics of hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and mechanical-hydraulic systems and the issues of diagnostics and automatic control in such systems. Aspects of the regional system of motor transport, public transport and transport and logistics of agricultural machinery are also addressed. The volume also examines selected technical and economic issues of gas transport. Topics of modelling of production processes with the transport of products are a complement.

Nowadays, all of us enjoy the worldwide revival of measurement and data science caused by the revolution of sensory devices and the amazing data transmission, storage and processing capabilities available and embedded everywhere. Thanks to the unbelievable amount of recorded information and the theoretical results of measurement and data science, a great deal of newly developed products invade our surroundings and enable previously unconceivable smart services and support. This volume consists of a number of chapters covering the scientific results of researchers working in this field at the Department of Measurement and Information Systems of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary. The book reports research results attained by carefully combining some of the classical theories of measurement and data processing. These new approaches and methods contribute to higher quality measurement design and measured data evaluation, and provide hints to find efficient implementations for instrumentation.
