Featuring a focus on mechanisms, this popular reference comprehensively covers important concepts in physiology, both at the organ system and cellular levels. Easy to read and user-friendly, the revised third edition stresses essential and relevant content with absolute clarity and includes concise step-by-step explanations complemented by...
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the technologies for the advances of mobile radio access networks. The topics covered include linear transmitters, superconducting filters and cryogenic radio frequency (RF) front head, radio over fiber, software radio base stations, mobile terminal positioning, high speed downlink...
This author describes the three components of the on demand business model so you can understand how your business can benefit and how you can evolve your current computing infrastructure to achieve the flexibility vital to this era.
In October 2002, IBM launched a new corporate-wide strategy called...
Cognitive networks can dynamically adapt their operational parameters in response to user needs or changing environmental conditions. They can learn from these adaptations and exploit knowledge to make future decisions.
Cognitive networks are the future, and they are needed simply because they enable users to focus on things other...
The expansion of our reliance on software in many aspects of modern society
has coincided with a number of incidents in aeronautics, astronautics,
transportation, medical devices, energy generation, banking and finance.
Failures caused by software have introduced more than just inconvenience,
but significant property damage,...
KEY BENEFIT: With each edition of her top-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology text, Elaine N. Marieb draws on her own, unique experience as a full-time A&P professor and part-time nursing student to explain concepts and processes in a meaningful and memorable way. With the Seventh Edition, Dr. Marieb has...
New paradigms for communication/networking systems are needed in order to tackle such emerging issues as heterogeneity, complexity and management of evolvable infrastructures, thus requiring approaches that are both task- and knowledge-driven. The networking and seamless integration of concepts, technologies and devices in a dynamically changing...
The network management community has been pushed towards the design of alternative management approaches able to support heterogeneity, scalability, reliability, and minor human intervention. The employment of self-* properties and Peer-To-Peer (P2P) are seen as promising alternatives, able to provide the sophisticated solutions required.
This 2nd volume on Emerging Web Services Technologies continues to follow the
current research activities in the areas of Web Services and Service Oriented Architectures.
By collecting the proceedings of the second Workshop of Emerging
Web Services Technology 2007 it contains many examples of promising research
activities...
Distributed applications are difficult to write as programmers need to adhere to specific distributed systems programming conventions and frameworks, which makes distributed systems development complex and error prone and ties the resultant application to the distributed system because the application's code is tangled with the...
In this context, it is less important that Langley excluded the striated part of the
oesophagus from his definition of the enteric nervous system (ENS). Much more
remarkable seems to be that for Langley, a physiologist, structural reasonswere the
most decisive for taking the nervous system within the wall of the gastrointestinal...
This edited volume focuses on the adoption of run-time models for the design and management of autonomic systems. Traditionally, performance models have a central role in the design of computer systems. Models are used at design-time to support the capacity planning of the physical infrastructure and to analyze the effects and trade-offs of...
