Accretion flows, winds and jets of compact astrophysical objects and stars are generally described within the framework of hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows. Analytical analysis of the problem provides profound physical insights, which are essential for interpreting and understanding the results of numerical simulations....
The cost of statistical computing software has precluded many universities from installing these valuable computational and analytical tools. R, a powerful open-source software package, was created in response to this issue. It has enjoyed explosive growth since its introduction, owing to its coherence, flexibility, and free availability....
Modern complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are limited in their bandwidth due to technological constraints. These limitations can be overcome by parallel DAC architectures, which are called interleaving concepts. Christian Schmidt analyzes the limitations and the potential of two...
The goal of this book is to provide a concise but lucid explanation and derivation of the fundamentals of spread-spectrum communication systems. Although spread-spectrum communication is a staple topic in textbooks on digital communication, its treatment is usually cursory, and the subject warrants a more intensive exposition....
The current context of social policy is one in which many of the old certainties of the past have been eroded. The predominantly inward-looking, domestic preoccupation of social policy has made way for a more integrated, international and outward approach to analysis which looks beyond the boundaries of the state. It is in this context that this...
I had two main reasons for writing this book. When I first started learning data science,
I could not find a centralized overview of all the important topics on this subject.
A practitioner of data science needs to be proficient in at least one programming
language, learn the various aspects of data preparation and visualization, and...
SAS/Genetics is a collection of SAS procedures along with a SAS macro specifically designed for the statistical analysis of genetic marker data. This guide is intended to provide you with the statistical genetics background and the procedural syntax needed to use this software, as well as examples showing some common applications of the methods in...
Fundamental data structures in a consistent object-oriented framework
Now revised to reflect the innovations of Java 5.0, Goodrich and Tamassia’s Fourth Edition of Data Structures and Algorithms in Java continues to offer accessible coverage of fundamental data structures, using a consistent...
"The book stresses how systems operate and the rationale behind their design, rather than presenting rigorous analytical formulations ... [It provides] the practicality and breadth essential to mastering the concepts of modern communications systems." -Telecommunication Journal...
Designed to encourage critical thinking about history, the MAJOR PROBLEMS IN AMERICAN HISTORY series introduces readers to both primary sources and analytical essays on important topics in U.S. history. This collection serves as a primary anthology for introductory U.S. history, covering the subject's entire chronological span....
For more than two decades, this work has remained the leading advanced textbook and easy-to-use reference on food chemistry and technology. Its fourth edition has been extensively re-written and enlarged, now also covering topics such as BSE detection or acrylamide. Food allergies, alcoholic drinks, or phystosterols are now treated more...
