 | | Natural and Wood Fibre Reinforcement in Polymers (Rapra Review Reports)
The use of composite materials dates from centuries
ago, when it all started with natural fibres. In ancient
Egypt some 3,000 years ago, clay was reinforced by
straw to build walls. Later on the natural fibre lost much

question in computer graphics. This book provides a modern answer involving the
computer and a new definition of realism.
The classic definition of realism has been veridical realism. Does the picture pass
the comparison test? That is, would an... | | Computability Theory: An Introduction to Recursion Theory
The study of the class of computable partial functions (i.e., recursive partial functions)
stands at the intersection of three fields: mathematics, theoretical computer science,
and philosophy.
Mathematically, computability theory originates from the concept of an algorithm.
It leads to a classification of functions according... |
