This cutting-edge resource offers practical overview of cognitive radio - a paradigm for wireless communications in which a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters. The alteration of parameters is based on the active monitoring of several factors in the external and internal radio environment. This book...
Instructional resource for mental health clinicians on using cognitive behavioural therapy with adolescents and young adults
This book complements author Paul Stallard’s Think Good, Feel Good and provides a range of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy resources that can be used with adolescents and young...
This book has been a long time in the making. The origins of the ideas in this book lie in 1990 when I attended a NATO-funded Advanced Study Institute in Las Navas del Marqués in Spain on ‘Cognitive and Linguistic Aspects of Geographic Space’, organised by Andrew Frank and David Mark. After a long gestation, I started to write...
This volume of essays on neural networks and psychopathology is aimed
at an unusually diverse audience. On the one hand, we hope that the
volume will be read by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other clinicians
and researchers interested in psychopathology and its treatment. On the
other hand, we hope that it will be read by...
The optical networking technology that suffered in the post - dot - com crash
several years ago has since recovered and is once again poised for rapid growth
due to the exhaustion of available bandwidth. Today, photonics networks transport
Internet data over large distances in long - haul and metropolitan networks.
Improvements in...
Visualizations—either self-created or external visual stimuli used as an aid to learning—are probably as old as learning itself. Yet surprisingly little research has been done either into how precisely they help us learn, or how to produce ones that are effective pedagogical tools. This volume, a comprehensive review of theory and...
Over the years, my work has been guided, stimulated, challenged, motivated, and rewarded from two major sources. The fi rst source has been my students and collaborators. They have asked questions, posed problems, and challenged ideas. They have been, in many cases, collaborators in theory and conceptual developments. The second source of...
The aim of the book is to provide latest research findings, innovative research results, methods and development techniques from both theoretical and practical perspectives related to the emerging areas of Web Computing, Intelligent Systems and Internet Computing.
3D scene understanding and object recognition are among the grandest challenges in computer
vision. A wide variety of techniques and goals, such as structure from motion, optical flow, stereo,
edge detection, and segmentation, could be viewed as subtasks within scene understanding and
recognition. Many of these applicable methods are...
"Over the past 20 years, wireless LANS have grown from technical curiosity to a mainstream technology widely installed across residential, enterprise, and even municipal networks. The mobility and convenience of wireless has been augmented by the advanced throughput and range performance available in today's products, extending the reach of...
Developments in cognitive science indicate that human and nonhuman primates share a range of behavioral and physiological characteristics that speak to the issue of language origins. This volume has three major themes, woven throughout the chapters. First, it is argued that scientists in animal behavior and anthropology need to move beyond...
Sophisticated interactive maps are increasingly used to explore information - guiding us through data landscapes to provide information and prompt insight and understanding. Geovisualization is an emerging domain that draws upon disciplines such as computer science, human-computer interaction
design, cognitive sciences, graphical...
