CSS3, the newest version of the style sheet language of the web, is less about creating new effects and more about accomplishing the beautiful web design effects you’re familiar with in fantastic new ways—ways that are more efficient and produce more usable and flexible results than the techniques we’ve been using...

Throughout these lessons you will not only record your own tracks, but you’ll also...

Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

The area of aggregation operations is one of the most promising off-springs of fuzzy sets theory. Before Zadeh introduced fuzzy set connectives in 1965, there was a wide gap between logic and decision sciences. On the one hand, multiplevalued logics proposed many-valued extensions of the conjunctions and disjunctions for which the...

This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering knowledge from scientific data. The use of computational power for data analysis and knowledge discovery in scientific disciplines has found its roots with the revolution of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics,...

Numerical analysis is the branch of mathematics that is used to find approximations to difficult problems such as finding the roots of non-linear equations, integration involving complex expressions and solving differential equations for which analytical solutions do not exist. It is applied to a wide variety of disciplines such as...

Welcome to the Solr cookbook. You will be taken on a tour through the most common problems when dealing with Apache Solr. You will learn how to deal with the problems with Solr configuration and setup, how to handle common querying problems, how to fine-tune Solr instances, how to write Solr extensions, and many more things. Every recipe is...

In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system...

Well, that’s not quite accurate. What I mean is, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to update DNS and BIND to include all this new IPv6 material. DNS and BIND deserves a sixth edition, but I’m afraid my schedule is so hectic right now that I just don’t have time to...

Designed for courses in Creativity and Three-Dimensional Design, Launching the Imagination offers a comprehensive framework on which students, teachers, and administrators can build. The approach in this third edition is refined, distilled, and updated, using over 375 examples drawn from traditional and contemporary sources. Interviews...

Although this book focuses on the problems and potentials for electronic representations of the fundamental materials of document-based knowledge in literature, similar conditions obtain for representations of works in music, philosophy, history, the law, and religion. These fields find in paper documents the primary materials of...
