For upper level and graduate level Electrical and Computer Engineering courses in Integrated Circuit Design as well as professional circuit designers, engineers and researchers working in portable wireless communications hardware.This book presents the fundamentals of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) and Bipolar compatible...

Ten years ago the authors undertook to produce a book covering the known material on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity. In retrospect, only a few significant results were overlooked in the 237 pages. In writing a new book on the subject, we find the field has expanded in so many new directions that a...

At the instigation of the Iron and Steel Federation, the late Bernard Godfrey began work in 1952 on the first edition of the Steel Designers’ Manual. As principal author he worked on the manuscript almost continuously for a period of two years. On many Friday evenings he would meet with his co-authors, Charles Gray, Lewis Kent...

This book is meant for research scholars, scientists and practitioners involved with the application of computer-based systems in critical applications. Ensuring dependability of systems used in critical applications is important due to the impact of their failures on human life, investment and environment. The individual aspects of...

Our goal in developing the New Perspectives Series was to create books that give students the software concepts...

Significant advances in optical fiber technology have created a need for an up-to-date book about optical fiber fusion splicing. Over the past 15 years, a variety of new optical fibers including rare-earth-doped fiber, dispersioncompensating fiber, dispersion-matched fiber pairs, and microstructured fiber have been introduced. These...

We wrote this book because we love games. We also love sound and music, and we love what they can bring to games to make them thrilling, involving, and moving. We want you to be able to try out your sound and your music in a real game. For a book whose examples are based exclusively around one piece of software, it may appear...

A state-of-the-art introduction to the powerful mathematical and statistical tools used in the field of finance The use of mathematical models and numerical techniques is a practice employed by a growing number of applied mathematicians working on applications in finance. Reflecting this development, Numerical Methods in Finance and...

The concept of fuzzy sets is one of the most fundamental and influential tools in computational intelligence. Fuzzy sets can provide solutions to a broad range of problems of control, pattern classification, reasoning, planning, and computer vision. This book bridges the gap that has developed between theory and practice. The authors explain...

MAXON understands that making a transition into 3D graphics and animation can be a daunting proposition for artists already pressed for time keeping up with the ever evolving progression of more traditional graphics technology. With that in mind, they have crafted CINEMA 4D, a software that is intuitive yet amazingly powerful. Using...
