Packed with practical examples and applications, this book focuses not only on the...
This book contains a selection of the revised contributions that were initially submitted to the International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval (AMR 2009). The workshop was organized by the Universidad Nacional de Educaci ´on a Distancia (UNED) in Madrid, Spain, during September 24–25, 2009.
The title of this book is both subversive and ambitious. It is subversive because
few academic publications deal with this subject. There has, of course, been work
done in robotics on artificially reproducing a “human” movement. One can also find
more cognitive works about the way of reasoning – i.e. storing and...
These two talks given in 1977 and 1978 in New York and Sao Paulo respectively are an edited version of discussions and spontaneous contributions made by Bion, in the main without notes. This is a new 2019 edition, edited and introduced by Meg Harris Williams.
Wilfred Ruprecht Bion (1897–1979) was born in India in the days...
Thermal Analysis Fundamentals and Applications to Polymer Science T. Hatakeyama Otsuma Women's University, Tokyo, Japan F. X. Quinn L'Oréal Recherche Advancée, Aulnay-sous-Bois, France The first edition of this classic book remains one of the very few introductory books covering both theoretical and practical aspects of thermal...
For serious amateur photographers who already shoot perfectly focused, accurately exposed images but want to be more creative with a camera, here’s the book to consult. More than seventy techniques, both popular and less-familiar approaches, are covered in detail, including advanced exposure, bounced flash and candlelight, infrared, multiple...
This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at MIRAGE 2011.
The MIRAGE conference is recognized internationally with presentations
coming from 19 countries despite the large worldwide economical crisis. Submissions
from Asia dropped compared with two years ago, and were fewer, than
those from Europe. France proved...
These words have become a standard corner-office lament in today's no-room-for-error business arena. But even when companies address their most glaring supply chain challenges, they can still find that cost-effective and strategic supply chain management is hard to...
The primary focus of this book is the presentation of the standard JBoss 3.0.3 architecture components from both the perspective of their configuration and architecture. As a user of a standard JBoss distribution you will be given an understanding of how to configure the standard components.
For all rotational machines, the analysis of dynamic stresses and the resulting vibrations is an important subject. When it comes to helicopters and piston engines, this analysis becomes crucial. From the design of parts working under stress to the reduction of the vibration levels, the success of a project lies mainly in the hands of the...
Electromagnetic wave scattering from random rough surfaces is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields such as optics, acoustics, geoscience and remote sensing.
Focusing on the case of random rough surfaces, this book presents classical asymptotic models used to describe...
