This book takes a humorous slant on the programming practice manual by reversing the usual approach: under the pretence of teaching you how to become the world’s worst programmer who generally causes chaos, the book teaches you how to avoid the kind of bad habits that introduce bugs or cause code contributions to be rejected....
In this text we present a technical overview of the emerging field of quantum computation along with new research results by the authors. What distinguishes our presentation from that of others is our focus on the relationship between quantum computation and computer science. Specifically, our emphasis is on the computational model of quantum...
Quickly obtain solutions to common Java image processing problems, learn best practices, and understand everything OpenCV has to offer for image processing. You will work with a JVM image wrapper to make it very easy to run image transformation through pipelines and obtain instant visual feedback. This book makes heavy use of the...
Information retrieval is a sub-field of computer science that deals with the automated storage and retrieval of documents. Providing the latest information retrieval techniques, this guide discusses Information Retrieval data structures and algorithms, including implementations in C. Aimed at software engineers building systems with...
On the Internet, popularity is swift and fleeting. A mention of your website on a popular
blog can bring 300,000 potential customers your way at once, all expecting to find out
who you are and what you have to offer. But if you’re a small company just starting
out, your hardware and software aren’t...
Control of Noise and Structural Vibration presents a MATLAB®-based approach to solving the problems of undesirable noise generation and transmission by structures and of undesirable vibration within structures in response to environmental or operational forces. The fundamentals of acoustics, vibration and coupling between vibrating...
Describes and illustrates the important aspects of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology.
Afifth edition of Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology is very gratifying, and again we
have the pleasure of thanking all of our colleagues in teaching who continue to use our
textbook and of welcoming new teachers and students.

There was considerable enthusiasm about the new capabilities of HTML5, and even
suggestions that no other technologies or products are necessary to produce dynamic,
engrossing, interactive websites. That may be overstating things, but it is true the new
features are exciting. HTML is HTML5. It now is possible, using just HTML,...
Dynamic Programming for Impulse Feedback and Fast Controls offers a description of feedback control in the class of impulsive inputs. This book deals with the problem of closed-loop impulse control based on generalization of dynamic programming techniques in the form of variational inequalities of the...
Substantially revised, reorganised and updated, the second edition now comprises eighteen chapters, carefully arranged in a straightforward and logical manner, with many new results and open problems.
As well as covering the theoretical aspects of the subject, with detailed proofs of many important results, the authors present...
Eigenstructure control involves modification of both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a system using feedback. Based on this key concept, algorithms are derived for the design of control systems using controller structures such as state feedback, output feedback, observer-based dynamic feedback, implicit and explicit...
