Introduction to Pragmatics

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Introduction to Pragmatics guides students throughtraditional and new approaches in the field, focusing particularlyon phenomena at the elusive semantics/pragmatics boundary toexplore the role of context in linguistic communication.

Offers students an accessible introduction and an up-to-datesurvey of the field,...

GPU-Based Techniques for Global Illumination Effects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Real-time rendering poses severe computational requirements to computers. In order to maintain a continuous looking motion for the human eye, at least 20 images need to be generated in each second. An image consists of about a million pixels, which means that for a single pixel the visible point and its color should be computed in less than 50 ns...

Designing Distributed Learning Environments with Intelligent Software Agents

Information Science Publishing, 2005

This book benefits the AI (artificial intelligence) and educational communities in their research and development, offering new and interesting research issues surrounding the development of distributed learning environments in the Semantic Web age.

With the rapid development of computer network and information technologies, especially...

Advanced Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering)

Springer, 2009

The aim of the present book is to show, in a broad and yet deep way, the state of the art in computational science and engineering. Examples of topics addressed are: fast and accurate numerical algorithms, model-order reduction, grid computing, immersed-boundary methods, and specific computational methods for simulating a wide variety of...

Mixed-Signal Layout Generation Concepts (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Springer, 2003

Layout generation is an important topic in IC design. For digital circuits a lot of research has been conducted in this area, resulting in a large variety of books and layout generation tools. However, with the ever increasing frequencies, we are facing now significant analog types of artifacts in the IC, introduced during the...

Continuum Theory (Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics)

CRC Press, 2002

[A]ll of the appers of this volume have a consistent scientific value.
- Analele Stiintifice al Universitatii al I. Cuza

Celebrating the work of world-renowned mathematician Sam B. Nadler, Jr., this reference examines the most recent advances in the analysis of continua. The book offers articles on the contributions of Professor...

Signals and Boundaries: Building Blocks for Complex Adaptive Systems

MIT Press, 2012

Complex adaptive systems (cas), including ecosystems, governments, biological cells, and markets, are characterized by intricate hierarchical arrangements of boundaries and signals. In ecosystems, for example, niches act as semi-permeable boundaries, and smells and visual patterns serve as signals; governments have departmental hierarchies...

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Boundary (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)

Springer, 2013

The study of surfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) is one of the main topics in classical differential geometry. Moreover, CMC surfaces are important mathematical models for the physics of interfaces in the absence of gravity, where they separate two different media or for capillary phenomena. Further, as most techniques used in the...

Operator Theory and Numerical Methods (Studies in Mathematics and its Applications)

North Holland, 2001

The authors provide a very sharp theoretical study of numerical methods used to solve partial diferential equations of elliptic and parabolic type. Every numerical scheme is thoroughly dissected. As a whole, everything fits together in a harmonious way.

The book is efficiently organized and each chapter concludes with a very informative...

Neighbor Law: Fences, Trees, Boundaries and Noise

Nolo, 2001

The world is full of barking dogs and trespassing trees, spite fences and 2 a.m. rock fests, but your neighbor's lack of consideration needn't be your lifelong headache. The Nolo Press guide to Neighbor Law, eruditely and accessibly written by attorney Cora Jordan, explains all the laws relevant to noise, obstructed views, and...

Distributed Control of Robotic Networks: A Mathematical Approach to Motion Coordination Algorithms (Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics)

Princeton Press, 2009

This book covers its subject very thoroughly. The framework the authors have established is very elegant and, if it catches on, this book could be the primary reference for this approach. I don't know of any other book that covers this set of topics.
(Richard M. Murray, California Institute of Technology )

Elementary Functions: Algorithms and Implementation

Birkhauser, 2005

"An important topic, which is on the boundary between numerical analysis and computer science…. I found the book well written and containing much interesting material, most of the time disseminated in specialized papers published in specialized journals difficult to find. Moreover, there are very few books on these topics and they are...
