Thoroughly updated to reflect the CompTIA Network+ N10-006 exam, Networking Essentials, Fourth Edition is a practical, up-to-date, and hands-on guide to the basics of networking. Written from the viewpoint of a working network administrator, it requires absolutely no experience with either network concepts or...
The goal of this book is to teach computational scientists and engineers how to develop tailored, flexible, and efficient working environments built from small programs (scripts) written in the easy-to-learn, very high-level language Python. The focus is on examples and applications of relevance to computational science: gluing existing...
This book provides computer exercises for an undergraduate course on signals and linear
systems. Such a course or sequence of courses forms an important part of most engineering
curricula. This book was primarily designed as a companion to the second edition of Signals
and Systems by Oppenheim and Willsky with Nawab. While the...
Provides a practical introduction to artificial intelligence that is less mathematically rigorous than other books on the market. Appropriate for programmers looking for an overview of all facets of artificial intelligence.
Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a...
Due to the nature of their work and personalities, many professionals prefer to do things on their own, in their own way. A firm’s best talents may not take too kindly to being told what to do and when to do it. They may resist being managed , and be unenthusiastic about working in a team. Whatever category they fall into—highly...
"Although the book is directed toward technology courses...it makes for interesting, thought-provoking reading." - Monitoring Times As new communications applications are developed and brought to market, it is vital for communications professionals to keep abreast of these issues. Since the...
Since the first date of publication of this book in 1991, the subject of phosphors and luminescence has assumed even more importance in the overall scheme of technological development. Many new types of displays have appeared which depend upon phosphors in their operation. Some of these were pure conjecture in 1991 but are a reality in 2004....
Coalgebraic logic is an important research topic in the areas of concurrency theory, semantics, transition systems and modal logics. It provides a general approach to modeling systems, allowing us to apply important results from coalgebras, universal algebra and category theory in novel ways. Stochastic systems provide important tools for...
The word "render" isn't unique to the vocabulary of computer graphics. We can talk about a "watercolor rendering," a "musical rendering" or a "poetic rendering." In each of these, there is a transformation from one domain to another: from the landscape before the painter to color on paper, from...
