'Just the textbook for those who prefer a thorough introduction to historical, social, and textual aspects of English before tackling formal linguistics.' Bill Kretzschmar, University of Georgia
Are you looking for a genuine introduction to the linguistics of English that provides a broad overview of the subject that sustains...
Google SketchUp & SketchUp Pro Bible will target design professionals who are increasingly turning to SketchUp and SketchUp Pro to easily create professional quality designs and design presentations. This book will cover creating 2D and 3D designs, exporting models to Google Earth, and using LayOut to create professional quality design...
The purpose of this book is to provide a practical approach to managing security in
FPGA designs for researchers and practitioners in the electronic design automation
(EDA) and FPGA communities, including corporations, industrial and government
research labs, and academics. This book combines theoretical underpinnings with
a practical...
The monograph deals with an important application of computer vision and pattern
recognition in the area of medical science, more specifically reconstructive craniofacial
surgery. Craniofacial fractures are encountered very frequently in today’s fastpaced
society; the major causes being gunshot wounds, motor vehicle...
"Middleware can largely ease the heterogeneity and increasing complexity of the distributed information systems. … Realising this central issue, this book deals with the semantic aspect of middleware … . The uniqueness of the book is the presentation of taxonomies of various ontologies … . The book has addressed the...
A practical text suitable for an introductory or advanced course in formal methods, this book presents a mathematical approach to modelling and designing systems using an extension of the B formal method: Event-B. Based on the idea of refinement, the author's systematic approach allows the user to construct models gradually and to...
This book was written to support a short course in the second or third year of
an undergraduate computer science, software engineering, or software design
program. The prerequisites are fairly modest: some programming experience
(ideally in С or С++ or a related language such as Java) and some exposure
to the most basic...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mathematical Methods, Models, and Architectures for Computer Network Security, MMM-ACNS 2010, held in St. Petersburg, Russia in September 2010. The 16 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully...
ADO.NET is the data access model built into the .NET Framework. It replaces the old (and largely successful) ADO used in almost all Visual Basic and ASP applications built over the last few years. ADO.NET enables an application to communicate with any OLE database source (including Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft Access, and even text files). This...
No longer can students assume that continuing education ends with the completion of formal training and the successful completion of licensing or certifying examinations. As of October 1979, all 22 member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties committed themselves to the principle of periodic recertification of their members. Despite...
This wide-ranging book covers all the major religious traditions, while exploring monistic and theistic mysticism, and such key issues as altered states of consciousness, sex, and visionary experiences.
There is a widespread modem interest in religious affairs in the broadest sense, from Hare Krishna to the Jesus People and from...
Explore the frontier of device engineering by applying optimization to nanoscience and device design. This cutting-edge work shows how robust, manufacturable designs that meet previously unobtainable system specifications can be created using a combination of modern computer power, adaptive algorithms, and realistic device-physics models....
