 Foundations of Empirical Software Engineering: The Legacy of Victor R. BasiliAlthough software engineering can trace its beginnings to a NATO conference in 1968, it cannot be said to have become an empirical science until the 1970s with the advent of the work of Prof. Victor Robert Basili of the University of Maryland. In addition to the need to engineer software was the need to understand software. Much like other... | | Optical Switching NetworksOptical Switching Networks describes all the major switching paradigms developed for modern optical networks, discussing their operation, advantages, disadvantages and implementation. Following a review of the evolution of optical WDM networks, an overview of the future trends out. The latest developments in optical access, local, metropolitan, and... | | |

Advanced Data StructuresAdvanced Data Structures presents a comprehensive look at the ideas, analysis, and implementation details of data structures as a specialized topic in applied algorithms. Data structures are how data is stored within a computer, and how one can go about searching for data within. This text examines efficient ways to search and update sets of... | | Superconductivity: Fundamentals and Applications (Physics)Comprehensive and easy to understand this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the nonspecialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, presents the fundamental considerations (without too much mathematics), describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state,... | | What is What in the Nanoworld: A Handbook on Nanoscience and NanotechnologyMore than 1,400 entries, from a few sentences to a page in length. The second, completely revised and enlarged edition of this introductory reference handbook summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations occurring in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. A representative collection... |

Film Production Theory (The Suny Series, Cultural Studies in Cinema/Video)To all appearances, the business of cinema goes on as usual. Yes, movies are being made. The production lines in the studios keep churning out their images. The digital effects specialists stay up late at night to meet endless deadlines. Films open in Berlin or Cannes. Critics write their reviews. People talk about the latest releases at work or... | | Introduction to Quantum Theory"The expertise of Paul shows in the easy transitions made between discussions of theory and experiment, particularly in subjects related to quantum optics."
M.C. Ogilvie, Choice Magazine
Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text covers a wider... | | Integrated Chemical Processes: Synthesis, Operation, Analysis, and Control"It is probably as comprehensive, didactic, and rich in examples as is possible at the present time." (Angewandte Chemie)
This is the first book dedicated to the entire field of integrated chemical processes, covering process design, analysis, operation and control of these processes. Both the editors and authors are... |

Encyclopedia of Civil War ShipwrecksOn the evening of February 2, 1864, Confederate Commander John Taylor Wood led 250 sailors in two launches and twelve boats to capture the USS Underwriter, a side-wheel steam gunboat anchored on the Neuse River near New Bern, North Carolina. During the ensuing fifteen-minute battle, nine Union crewmen lost their lives, twenty were wounded,... | | | | The Physical Tourist: A Science Guide for the TravelerTypical travel guides have sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema. Rarely are any science-related sites identified. For example, a current travel guide for Germany contains one tidbit on science: Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm. By contrast, this travel guide walks a tourist through Berlin and... |
