Tax Insight: For Tax Year 2012 will teach you to take control of life’s biggest expenseâtaxes. In your lifetime, you will spend more money on taxes than on anything else. Despite that fact, you likely know the current prices of movies and milk but don’t know what your marginal tax rate is. You know where to get the...
Robust Industrial Control Systems: Optimal Design Approach for Polynomial Systems presents a comprehensive introduction to the use of frequency domain and polynomial system design techniques for a range of industrial control and signal processing applications. The solution of stochastic and robust optimal control problems is...
In Atomic the authors' revolutionary theory is put to the test. Looking across all sectors of business, including retail banking, financial services, telecommunications, IT and consultancy, carbon-based corporations (oil and gas companies), and consumer products companies, Camrass and Farncombe discover some real eye-openers, including...
Learning classi er systems are a machine learning paradigm introduced by John Holland in 1976. They are rule-based systems in which learning is viewed as a process of ongoing adaptation to a partially unknown environment through genetic algorithms and temporal di erence learning.
From the beginning, classi er systems have attracted...
Using an applications perspective Thermodynamic Models forIndustrial Applications provides a unified framework for thedevelopment of various thermodynamic models, ranging from theclassical models to some of the most advanced ones. Among these arethe Cubic Plus Association Equation of State (CPA EoS) and thePerturbed Chain Statistical...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques based on principles of evolution and widely applied to solve problems in many disciplines. However, most GAs employed in practice nowadays are unable to learn genetic linkage and suffer from the linkage problem. The linkage learning genetic algorithm (LLGA) was proposed to tackle the linkage...
The Holiday Inn in Bethesda, Maryland, is an unassuming stucco building tucked sideways off a slow commercial street, across from a Pizza Hut, a gas station, and a mini-mart. You enter from the side driveway and climb up a wide, curving staircase to reach the Versailles II ballroom on the second floor.
This book provides an in-depth guide to security in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
Security in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks introduces the reader to the fundamentals and key issues related to wireless ad hoc networking, with an emphasis on security. It discusses the security attacks and...
This book addresses the range image registration problem for automatic 3D model construction. The focus is on obtaining highly precise alignments between different view pairs of the same object to avoid 3D model distortions; in contrast to most prior work, the view pairs may exhibit relatively little overlap and need not be prealigned. To this end,...
The design of reliable industrial and commercial power systems is of considerable interest to
many people. Prior to 1962, a qualitative viewpoint was taken when attempting to achieve
this objective. The need for a quantitative approach was first recognized in the early 1960s
when a small group of pioneers led by W. H. Dickinson...
