What are the ingredients of robust, elegant, flexible, and maintainable software architecture? Beautiful Architecture answers this question through a collection of intriguing essays from more than a dozen of today's leading software designers and architects. In each essay, contributors present a notable software architecture, and analyze...
Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your...
Aho and Ullman have created a C version of their groundbreaking text. As in that text, this book combines the theoretical foundations of computing with essential discrete mathematics. It follows the same organizations as its predecessor, with all examples and exercises in C.
This book was motivated by the desire we and others have had to...
This book presents a review about the physics of clusters of galaxies beyond the standard thermal view. The book first gives a general introduction to clusters of galaxies. It discusses the properties of the hot, virialised gas in these clusters. But the main focus is upon what is beyond this thermal gas: the surrounding warm-hot intergalactic...
Over the last two decades a revolution has taken place concerning the way physicists view the fundamental processes taking place in our universe. This revolution has its basis in the belief that all fundamental interactions are associated with a particularly beautiful and powerful kind of quantum field theory-a theory of local gauge fields. This...
Due to the availability of commercial laboratory systems and the emergence of user facilities at synchrotron radiation sources, studies of microcomputed tomography or microCT have increased exponentially.
MicroComputedTechnology provides a complete introduction to the technology, describing how to use it...
The scope of this new and important book includes: personal portable telephones, multimedia devices, digital assistants, and communicating palmtop computers; registration and handoff protocols, messaging, and communications and computing requirements; network control and management for protocols associated with routing and tracking of mobile users;...
This book presents an innovative approach for the reconstruction design of lost ancient Chinese machinery. By combining the creative mechanism design methodology with the mechanical evolution and variation theory, all feasible and appropriate designs that are consistent with the science theories and techniques of the subject’s time period can...
"Liberalism, assailed from all sides in the great political and legal debates of our time, is defended staunchly and deftly in this expansive and sensitive book. Charvet and Kaczynska-Nay combine their talents as political theorist and international lawyer, respectively, to produce a meticulous account of a human rights order embedded in the...
What is an 'all-IP' network? What difference will IP networking make to 3G services?
Third Generation (3G) mobile offers access to broadband multimedia services - and in the future most of these, even voice and video, will be IP-based. However 3G networks are not based on IP technologies, rather they are an evolution from existing 2G...
The book provides an original approach in the research of structural analysis of free developed shear compressible turbulence at high Reynolds number on the base of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and instability evolution for ideal medium (integral conservation laws) with approximate mechanism of dissipation (FLUX dissipative monotone...
