Dart: Up and Running

O'Reilly, 2012

When we joined Google and entered the fascinating world of web browser development more than six years ago, the web was a different place. It was clear that a new breed of web apps was emerging, but the performance of the underlying platform left much to be desired. Given our background in designing and implementing...

Fatigue of Structures and Materials

Springer, 2009

Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service.

This book is...

Optical Remote Sensing: Science and Technology (Optical Science and Engineering, Volume 84)

Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003

In recent years, much has transpired in the field of remote sensing and, in particular, polarization. Polarization is an outgrowth of multiple, highly accurate photometric measurements. Plane polarization is the difference between precision photometric measurements in two mutually perpendicular directions. Circular polarization...

Apress, 2012

We’re surrounded by electronics these days. Did you ever wonder how it all worked? Do you know just enough about electricity to be dangerous? Would you like to learn more? Then this book is for you.

There are many excellent textbooks on how electricity works. This is not one of them. This book helps you get...

Practical Design and Production of Optical Thin Films (Optical Science and Engineering)

CRC Press, 2002

The field of optical thin films continues to expand at a rapid rate in both commercial application and technology. As individuals and as a technical community, we continue to gain new understanding as new tools, techniques, processes, and experimental results become available. Since the publication of the first edition, enough...

Chemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theory

CRC Press, 1985

Everyone has observed chemical reactions involving pyrotechnic mixtures. Beautiful 4th of July fireworks, highway distress signals, solid fuel boosters for the Space Shuttle, and the black powder used by muzzle-loading rifle enthusiasts all have a common technical background.

The chemical principles underlying...

Programming Language Concepts (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2012

Programming Language Concepts uses a functional programming language (F#) as the metalanguage in which to present all concepts and examples, and thus has an operational flavour, enabling practical experiments and exercises. It includes basic concepts such as abstract syntax, interpretation, stack machines, compilation, type checking, and...

Windows Internals, Part 2: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

Microsoft Press, 2012

Windows Internals, Sixth Edition is intended for advanced computer professionals (both developers and system administrators) who want to understand how the core components of the Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems work internally. With this knowledge, developers can better comprehend...

Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior: A Synthesis of Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology

Academic Press, 2007

For a long time I was fascinated by trying to understand the behavioral, endocrine and neural mechanisms controlling rat sexual behavior, independently of whether such an understanding was of any use or not. My favorite afternoon distraction was to walk over to the lab and see how the experiments were going, and if possible I...

Rubberlike Elasticity: A Molecular Primer

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Elastomers and rubberlike materials form a critical component in diverse applications that range from tyres to biomimetics and are used in chemical, biomedical, mechanical and electrical engineering. This updated and expanded second edition provides an elementary introduction to the physical and molecular concepts governing elastic behaviour,...

Rogue Waves in the Ocean (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

The book is written for specialists in the fields of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, nonlinear physics, physical oceanography and geophysics, and also for students learning these subjects. It includes a wide range of observational data on rogue (or freak) waves in the seas and coastal waters, as well as presenting a basic statistical...

Baroclinic Tides: Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less energetic surface wave and other internal modes with different wavelengths and propagation speeds. This cascading process, from the barotropic tides to the...
