Renewable Energy Governance: Complexities and Challenges (Lecture Notes in Energy)

Springer, 2013

This book focuses on Renewable Energy (RE) governance - the institutions, plans, policies and stakeholders that are involved in RE implementation - and the complexities and challenges associated with this much discussed energy area. Whilst RE technologies have advanced and become cheaper, governance schemes rarely support those technologies...

Bayesian Time Series Models

Cambridge University Press, 2011

'What's going to happen next?' Time series data hold the answers, and Bayesian methods represent the cutting edge in learning what they have to say. This ambitious book is the first unified treatment of the emerging knowledge-base in Bayesian time series techniques. Exploiting the unifying framework of probabilistic graphical...

A Biologically Inspired CMOS Image Sensor (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2012

Biological systems are a source of inspiration in the development of small autonomous sensor nodes. The two major types of optical vision systems found in nature are the single aperture human eye and the compound eye of insects. The latter are among the most compact and smallest vision sensors. The eye is a compound of individual lenses with...

Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2013): Learning, Optimization and Interdisciplinary Applications

Springer, 2013

Biological and other natural processes have always been a source of inspiration for computer science and information technology. Many emerging problem solving techniques integrate advanced evolution and cooperation strategies, encompassing a range of spatio-temporal scales for visionary conceptualization of evolutionary computation.

Control of Higher-Dimensional PDEs: Flatness and Backstepping Designs

Springer, 2012

This monograph presents new model-based design methods for trajectory planning, feedback stabilization, state estimation, and tracking control of distributed-parameter systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). Flatness and backstepping techniques and their generalization to PDEs with higher-dimensional spatial domain lie at...

Twisted Network Programming Essentials

O'Reilly, 2013

Get started with Twisted, the event-driven networking framework written in Python. With this introductory guide, you’ll learn the key concepts and design patterns to build event-driven client and server applications for many popular networking protocols. You’ll also learn the tools to build new protocols using...

Rabies

Academic Press, 2002

Rabies offers a complete account of one of the oldest known diseases threatening public health today. Unlike most research-oriented descriptions of rabies, this book provides a narrative about the disease and its etiologic agent, encompassing the historical background to recent developments. The emphasis on the basic biology and...

Cisplatin: Chemistry and Biochemistry of a Leading Anticancer Drug

John Wiley & Sons, 1999

30 years after its discovery as an antitumor agent, cisplatin represents today one of the most successful drugs in chemotherapy. This book is intended to reminisce this event, to take inventory, and to point out new lines of development in this field. Divided in 6 sections and 22 chapters, the book provides an up-to-date account on topics...

Human Retroviral Infections: Immunological and Therapeutic Control

Springer, 2000

The mechanisms of disease production by infectious agents are presently the focus of an unprecedented flowering of studies. The field has undoubtedly received impetus from the considerable advances recently made in the understanding of the structure, biochemistry, and biology of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites....

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Oncology (Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging)

Springer, 2005

Radiologists have long been interested in imaging and measuring blood fl ow and in characterising the structure of blood vessels within pathological tissues. In 1927 Egas Moniz described the technique of cerebral angiography using injection of radio-opaque contrast agent combined with conventional radiology. His earlier published...

BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology

Springer, 2006

Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving theway many important genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a...
