Computational complexity, originated from the interactions between computer science and numerical optimization, is one of the major theories that have revolutionized the approach to solving optimization problems and to analyzing their intrinsic difficulty. This volume is a collection of articles on recent complexity developments in numerical...
This unique monograph explores the cardinal, or quantitative, aspects of objects in the presence of vagueness, called vaguely defined objects. In the first part of the book such topics as fuzzy sets and derivative ideas, twofold fuzzy sets, and flow sets are concisely reviewed as typical mathematical representations of vaguely defined...
This book is aimed at artists who already know essentials of modeling and are considering modeling specialization. A big part of specialization involves seeking ways to streamline your work flow. Possibly you're a diploma student and want to level up your 3ds Max skills after a short course, or possibly you're self-taught
and want...
Approximation methods are of vital importance in many challenging applications
from computational science and engineering. This book collects papers
from world experts in a broad variety of relevant applications of approximation
theory, including pattern recognition and machine learning, multiscale modelling
of fluid flow, metrology,...
Prediction of behavior of the dynamical systems, analysis and modeling of its structure is vitally important problem in engineering, economy and science today.
Examples of such systems can be seen in the world around us and of course in almost every scientific discipline including such “exotic” domains like the...
Spring addresses most aspects of Java/Java EE application development and offers simple solutions to them. By using Spring, you will be lead to use industry best practices to design and implement your applications. The releases of Spring 2.x have added many improvements and new features to the 1.x versions. Spring Recipes: A...
As night settled on April 20, 2010, a series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives, and it would rage uncontained for two days, until its wreckage sank to a final resting place nearly a...
This book provides insight into the world of pharmaceutical quality systems and the key elements that must be in place to change the business and organizational dynamics from task-oriented procedure-based cultures to truly integrated quality business systems that are self-detecting and correcting. Chapter flow has been changed to...
Learning an object oriented programming language like Visual Basic can be a challenging and often frustrating task. Many Visual Basic books are intimidating for the beginning programmer because they are mostly theory, making the material difficult to apply. Visual Basic 2005 by Practice cuts through the jargon and provides a better understanding of...
The book is dedicated to the method and application potential of micro segmented flow. The recent state of development of this powerful technique is presented in 12 chapters by leading researchers from different countries. In the first section, the principles of generation and manipulation of micro-fluidic segments are explained. In the...
Radio Design in Nanometer Technologies addresses current trends and future directions in radio design for wireless applications. As radio transceivers constitute the major bottleneck in a wireless chipset in terms of power consumption and die size, the radio must be designed in the context of the entire system, end to end....
