Auerbach Publications, 2008

Consumption of media has grown rapidly in the previous decade due to advances in digital technology. In recent years, the wireless industry has seen explosive growth in device capability. Everincreasing computing power, memory, and high-end graphic functionalities have accelerated the development of new and exciting wireless services. Personal...

Hypernumbers and Extrafunctions: Extending the Classical Calculus (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)

Springer, 2012

“Hypernumbers and Extrafunctions” presents a rigorous mathematical approach to operate with infinite values. First, concepts of real and complex numbers are expanded to include a new universe of numbers called hypernumbers which includes infinite quantities. This brief extends classical calculus based on real functions by...

Unconstrained Face Recognition (International Series on Biometrics)

Springer, 2005

Face recognition has been actively studied over the past decade and continues to be a big research challenge. Just recently, researchers have begun to investigate face recognition under unconstrained conditions. Unconstrained Face Recognition provides a comprehensive review of this biometric, especially face recognition from video, assembling a...

Residue Number Systems: Theory and Implementation (Advances in Computer Science and Engineering Texts)

Imperial College Press, 2007

This book provides an up-to-date account of RNSs and arithmetic. It covers the underlying mathematical concepts of RNSs; the conversion between conventional number systems and RNSs; the implementation of arithmetic operations; various related applications are also introduced. In addition, numerous detailed examples and analysis of different...

DSLs in Action

Manning Publications, 2010

Your success—and sanity—are closer at hand when you work at a higher level of abstraction, allowing your attention to be on the business problem rather than the details of the programming platform. Domain Specific Languages -- “little languages” implemented on top of conventional programming languages -- give...

Fundamentals of Logic Design (with Companion CD-ROM)

CL-Engineering, 2009

After studying this text, you should be able to apply switching theory to the solution of logic design problems.This means that you will learn both the basic theory of switching circuits and how to apply it. After a brief introduction, you will study Boolean algebra, which is the basic mathematical tool needed to analyze and synthesize...

Software Abstractions: Logic, Language, and Analysis

MIT Press, 2012

As a programmer working for Logica UK in London in the mid-1980’s, I became a passionate advocate of formal methods. Extrapolating from small successes with VDM and JSP, I was sure that widespread use of formal methods would bring an end to the software crisis.

One approach especially intrigued me. John Guttag and Jim...

Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, & Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

In biological and medical imaging applications, tracking objects in motion is a critical task. This book describes the state-of-the-art in biomedical tracking techniques. We begin by detailing methods for tracking using active contours, which have been highly successful in biomedical applications. The book next covers the major probabilistic...

Applications of Silicon-Germanium Heterostructure Devices (Series in Optics and Optoelectronics)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

The authors have certainly identified a gap in the literature … Overall, the book is very informative and provides a strong foundation for work in this active research area.
-K. Alan Shore, Optics and Photonics News

The most significant feature of this work is that it combines three distinct topics - technology, device...

Sound Sleep, Sound Mind: 7 Keys to Sleeping through the Night

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Do you lie awake each night tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep or stay asleep? Are you tired of the quick-fix, over-the-counter, or prescription drug remedies that promise more than they deliver? If you're one of the millions who struggle with sleepless nights, you need to know that most people with insomnia or other...

PC Interfacing and Data Acquisition: Techniques for Measurement, Instrumentation and Control.

Newnes, 2000

Until fairly recently most scientific data-gathering systems and industrial control procedures were based on electromechanical devices such as chart recorders and analogue gauges. The capability to process and analyse data was rather limited (and in some cases error prone) unless one had access to a minicomputer or mainframe. Today, that situation...

Gamification by Design: Implementing Game Mechanics in Web and Mobile Apps

O'Reilly, 2011

Gamification may be a new term, but the idea of using game-thinking and game mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences isn’t exactly new. The military has been using games and simulations for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, and the U.S. military has been a pioneer in the use of video games across branches. Three...
