Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles

Cambridge University Press, 2006

Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles discusses hydrodynamic aspects of the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles, i.e. vessels supported by either the submerged hull, an air cushion or foils. Submerged-hull-supported vessels include planing and semi-displacement vessels. The wave environment, resistance, propulsion,...

Multi-objective Management in Freight Logistics: Increasing Capacity, Service Level and Safety with Optimization Algorithms

Springer, 2008

The complexity of modern supply chains requires decision makers in logistics to work with a set of efficient (Pareto optimal) solutions, mainly to catch different economic aspects for which one optimal solution related to a single objective function is not able to capture entirely. Motivated by this, and by recent changes in global markets and the...

3-D Shape Estimation and Image Restoration: Exploiting Defocus and Motion-Blur

Springer, 2006

"This book presents a framework for estimating three-dimensional (3D) shapes from defocused and motion-blurred images. The book systematically describes various problems involved in estimating 3D shapes, and provides solutions to these problems… The book is well-written, and is equipped with Matlab code that implements the estimators...

Principles of Bacterial Detection: Biosensors, Recognition Receptors and Microsystems

Springer, 2008

Bacterial contamination of food and water resources, as well as the increasing incidence of nosocomial infections, has us on our toes, looking for ways of recognizing these elements. In addition, the recent and growing threats to personal and territorial securities make this task even more urgent. Therefore, accurate assessment of the state...

Superstition: Belief in the Age of Science

Princeton Press, 2008

From uttering a prayer before boarding a plane, to exploring past lives through hypnosis, has superstition become pervasive in contemporary culture? Robert Park, the best-selling author of Voodoo Science, argues that it has. In Superstition, Park asks why people persist in superstitious convictions long after science has shown...

Architecting Dependable Systems (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2003

As software systems become more and more ubiquitous, the issues of dependability become more and more critical. Given that solutions to these issues must be planned at the beginning of the design process, it is appropriate that these issues be addressed at the architectural level. This book is inspired by the ICSE 2002 Workshop on Architecting...
