Cryptography is the art of secret writing. It involves transforming information into apparently unintelligible garbage so that unwanted eyes will be unable to comprehend it. This transformation, however, must be done so that it is reversible, so that individuals intended to view the information may do so. This is the traditional use of...
Mastering Integrated HTML and CSS maintains the "integrated" approach used in Virginia DeBolt's earlier book and throughout her web teaching. Mastery-level HTML and CSS is treated as a single topic, taught together because the fastest workflows and most effective web sites develop these pieces together.
Practical tools for analyzing, calculating, and reporting availability, reliability, and maintainability metrics
Engineers in the telecommunications industry must be able to quantify system reliability and availability metrics for use in service level agreements, system design decisions, and daily operations. Increasing...
QoS-Based Resource Allocation and Transceiver Optimization derives a comprehensive theoretical framework for SIR balancing, with and without noise. The theory considers the possible use of receive strategies (e.g. interference filtering or channel assignment), which can be included in the model in an abstract way. Power allocation and receiver...
Both modern mathematical music theory and computer science are strongly influenced by the theory of categories and functors. One outcome of this research is the data format of denotators, which is based on set-valued presheaves over the category of modules and diaffine homomorphisms. The functorial approach of denotators deals with generalized...

Most information about the nature of living cells is discovered through light microscope observation. The image seen through a microscope is not a magnified point-by-point representation of the object, but is an abstract representation of the object that...
The field of Artificial Cognition has arisen recently with the intention of developing agents capable to perceive, explore, learn and perform reasoning about the external world. A number of machine learning approaches have been adopted in order to make agent behaviour cognitive. However, most existing systems rely on an external expert guiding the...

"This book does something important: it takes abstract information and puts it in language and worksheets that make sense. This gives everyone---- including top managers---- a complete description of how a company’s performing. And there’s no better tool for improving performance than understanding." ---- Jack Stack,...
For developers of computer-based systems, capturing and understanding the complex
functional requirements and behaviour of software components has come to
represent a considerable challenge. This book aims to equip readers with skills and
techniques which will help them to address this challenge. It does so by stressing
the value of...
This important new study reevaluates British art writing and the rise of formalism in the visual arts from 1900 to 1939. Taking Roger Fry as his starting point, Sam Rose rethinks how ideas about form influenced modernist culture and the movement’s significance to art history today.
