Foundations of SQL Server 2008 R2 Business Intelligence introduces the exciting gamut of business intelligence tools included with SQL Server 2008. Microsoft has designed SQL Server 2008 to be more than just a database. It’s a complete business intelligence (BI) platform. The database is at the core, and surrounding the...

In order to meet the miniaturization requirements of portable communication equipment, researchers have given much attention recently to compact microstrip antennas. Many related compact designs with broadband dual-frequency operation, dualpolarized radiation, circularly polarized radiation, and enhanced antenna gain have been reported. Many...

Although the field of mixed reality has grown significantly over the last decade, there have been few published books about augmented reality, particularly the interface design aspects. Emerging Technologies of Augmented Reality: Interfaces and Design provides a foundation of the main concepts of augmented reality (AR), with a particular...

The goal of business intelligence is to make sense of change-to...

This introduction to computational geometry is designed for beginners. It emphasizes simple randomized methods, developing basic principles with the help of planar applications, beginning with deterministic algorithms and shifting to randomized algorithms as the problems become more complex. It also explores higher dimensional advanced...

Analysis Services 2005 was a significant leap from Analysis Services 2000 in building your multidimensional databases right from the concept of building your cubes in Business Intelligence Development Studio to the concept of the Unified Dimensional Model with attribute and user hierarchies. The first edition of this book, Professional SQL...

By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics, one remembered from high school geometry class by even the most math-phobic students. Well over four hundred proofs are known to exist, including ones by a twelve-year-old Einstein, a young blind girl, Leonardo da Vinci, and a future president of the...

According to the author of this concise, high-level study, physicists often shy away from group theory, perhaps because they are unsure of which parts of the subject belong to the physicist and which belong to the mathematician. However, it is possible for physicists to understand and use many techniques which have a group theoretical basis...

Our attempt at presenting a pedagogical survey of this subject arose from lectures given in...

Recognized and respected throughout the world as the most influential leaders in the data warehousing industry, Ralph Kimball and the Kimball Group have...
