Discover solutions to common obstacles faced by project managers. Written as a business novel, the book is highly interactive, allowing readers to participate and consider options at each stage of a project. The book is based on years of experience, both through the author's research projects as well as his teaching lectures at business...
Research in analog integrated circuits has recently gone in the direction
of low-voltage (LV)‚ low-power (LP) design‚ especially in the environment of
portable systems where a low supply voltage‚ given by a single-cell battery‚ is
used. These LV circuits have to show also a reduced power consumption to...
This book was originally titled “Fundamentals of the New Artificial Intelligence: Beyond Traditional Paradigms.” I have changed the subtitle to better represent the contents of the book. The basic philosophy of the original version has been kept in the new edition. That is, the book covers the most essential and widely employed material...
In this new approach for a consistent transport theory in nuclear fusion processes Leslie Woods draws on over 40 years of fusion research to directly compare theoretical findings with experimental results, while taking into account recently discovered phenomena. This is thus the first book to find theoretical explanations to the sometimes-puzzling...
This book deals with the problem of optimal allocation of effort to detect a
target. A Bayesian approach is taken in which it is assumed that there is a
prior distribution for the target's location which is known to the searcher as
well as a function which relates the conditional probability of detecting...
Views are virtual tables. That means they should be updatable, just as "real" or base tables are. In fact, view updatability isn’t just desirable, it’s crucial, for practical reasons as well as theoretical ones. But view updating has always been a controversial topic. Ever since the relational...
Doing Business in 2005: Obstacles to Growth is the second in a series of annual reports investigating the scope and manner of regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. New quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement can be compared across more than 130 countries, and over time. The indicators...
The professionalization of web development has been a difficult journey because of our
disparate beginnings. Even those who end up at large companies such as Yahoo! inevitably
began on their own, hacking around. Perhaps you were even “the web guy” at
a small company and could do pretty much whatever you...
This graduate-level, course-based text is devoted to the 3+1 formalism of general relativity, which also constitutes the theoretical foundations of numerical relativity. The book starts by establishing the mathematical background (differential geometry, hypersurfaces embedded in space-time, foliation of space-time by a family of space-like...
David Marr's theory was a pioneering step towards understanding visual perception. In his view human vision was based on a complete surface reconstruction of the environment that was then used to address visual subtasks. This approach was proven to be insufficient by neuro-biologists and complementary ideas from statistical...
In many application areas, it is necessary to make effective decisions under constraints. Several area-specific techniques are known for such decision problems; however, because these techniques are area-specific, it is not easy to apply each technique to other applications areas. Cross-fertilization between different application areas is one...
