Read this book before you write your thesis or journal paper! Communicating Science is a textbook and reference on scientific writing oriented primarily at researchers in the physical sciences and engineering. It is written from the perspective of an experienced researcher. It draws on the authors' experience of teaching and working with...
Sometimes, when I’m wandering in an art museum looking at the relics of an ancient civilization, I find myself wondering how a future society would represent a defunct American culture. What objects would be chosen—or would survive—to be placed on display? Would I agree with a curator’s choices? Were I to choose the items...
Your book fills the gap which all of us felt existed too long. Congratulations on this excellent contribution to our field."
--Jan van Leeuwen, Utrecht University
"This is an impressive book. The subject has been thoroughly researched and carefully presented. All the machine models central to the modern theory of...
This book is for people who want to learn about diverse energy sources and technologies without taking a formal course. It can serve as a classroom supplement, tutorial aid, self-teaching guide, or home-schooling text.
As you take this course, you’ll encounter multiple-choice quizzes and a fi nal exam to help you measure your...
This book presents a unified collection of concepts, tools, and techniques that constitute the most important technology available today for the design and implementation of information systems. The framework adopted for this integration goal is the one offered by the relational model of data, its applications, and implementations in...
This book applies interactive perspectives, which have historically mainly been discussed in the context of Western European countries, to case studies on water governance in Asia. It examines how these perspectives can be used to reveal complex and dynamic interactions in water governance in Asia, and how interactions between...
This book examines key issues in designing semantics-oriented natural language processing systems. A broad conceptual framework for describing structured meanings of NL-texts is obtained by defining a new class of formal languages called standard knowledge languages (SK-languages) using a system theoretical approach. Readers will gain knowledge...
Graph rewriting systems have come of age. In autumn 1994, the 25th anniversary of
the first publication in this area was celebrated at the 5th Workshop on Graph
Grammars and their Applications to Computer Science. In the interim, the subject has
evolved. The current situation can be described by a three-stage model. At the very
low...
If you are a new manager, you know that stepping onto the management career ladder means added responsibilities, heavy workloads, new business challenges, and high expectations. These certainties, combined with little training or formal management education, can make for dramatic workplace pitfalls.
This easy-to-follow textbook provides a modern, algorithmic introduction to digital image processing, designed to be used both by learners desiring a firm foundation on which to build, and practitioners in search of critical analysis and modern implementations of the most important techniques.
Logic is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and the theories of algorithms and computability laid the theoretical foundations of computer...
