Biophysics represents perhaps one of the best examples of interdisciplinary research
areas, where concepts and methods from disciplines such as physics, biology, biochemistry,
colloid chemistry, and physiology are integrated. It is by no means a new
field of study and has actually been around, initially as quantitative physiology...
Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought
by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of
our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology.
Given the importance of computing to modern society,...
Professor A. R. Butz was the first (and so far the only) writer to treat the entire Holocaust complex from the Revisionist perspective, in a precise scientific manner. This book exhibits the overwhelming force of historical and logical arguments which Revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 70s. This new edition comes with several...
This book is about data analysis and the programming language called R. This is rapidly becoming the de facto standard among professionals, and is used in every conceivable discipline from science and medicine to business and engineering.
R is more than just a computer program; it is a statistical programming environment and...
Urban Ecology is the study of ecosystems that include humans living in cities and urbanizing landscapes.
It is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how human and ecological
processes can coexist in human-dominated systems and help societies with their efforts to become
more sustainable. It has deep roots in...
Being a multidisciplinary area involving subjects such as mechanics, electronics and computing, the
evolution and spread of robotics to different application sectors still requires intense interaction with
other fields of science and technology. This applies equally when dealing with wearable robots,
meaning robotic systems that a...
Food is always a matter of interest, a means of providing energy, the raw material
that builds and maintains our well-being, a defence against illness, a pleasure to
consume when well prepared and presented, a basis for social interaction and
enjoyment at home, in a restaurant, canteen or perhaps even hospital or school.
Our...
Extensive work has been done for many years in the areas of attitude
determination, attitude prediction, and attitude control. During this time, it has
been difficult to obtain reference material that provided a comprehensive overview
of attitude support activities. This lack of reference material has made it difficult
for...
Until late 2008, I was happy enough with Web Forms. I did recognize its weak points
and could nicely work around them with discipline and systematic application
of design principles. But a new thing called ASP.NET MVC was receiving enthusiastic
reviews by a growing subset of the ASP.NET community. So I started to...
Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination,
analysis and presentation of electronic evidence. Networked computing,
wireless communications and portable electronic devices have expanded
the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations.
Practically every type of crime now...
These Lecture Series in Computational Science and Engineering include the proceedings
of a Summer Program in Multi-Scale Modelling and Simulation held in
Lugano, Switzerland, between August 4th and 30th, 2003. The workshop was organized
by the ETHZ Computational Laboratory (CoLab) together with the Swiss
Center for Scientific...
This book originates from the desire to perpetuate expertise in the field of
performance evaluation, particularly for telecommunication systems and
networks. It is obviously impossible to translate into a single work all the
facets of an activity which encompasses many systems and a great variety of
domains such as standardization,...
