Fundamental Numerical Methods for Electrical Engineering (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering)

Springer, 2008

Stormy development of electronic computation techniques (computer systems and software), observed during the last decades, has made possible automation of data processing in many important human activity areas, such as science, technology, economics and labor organization. In a broadly understood technology area, this development led to separation...

Happiness For Dummies (Psychology & Self Help)

For Dummies, 2008

Happiness is an important part of life — no less than anger, sadness, and fear. It begins with life itself: What mother doesn’t recognize the look of happiness on the face of her newborn? Human beings are wired with an innate, neurological potential for happiness, but whether this potential eventually becomes a reality depends on how we...

Phobias (Diseases and Disorders)

Lucent Books, 2009

Human beings have a love/hate relationship with fear. Medals are given to valiant warriors who charge fearlessly into combat, while those who sneak around whimpering in their battle helmets are labeled cowards and in some cultures are even put to death for what is considered a war-time crime. As a whole, people generally find fear to be...

Modelling and Control of Dynamical Systems: Numerical Implementation in a Behavioral Framework (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

A paradigmatic perspective for modeling and control of physical systems has been used since a long time ago: The input/output approach. Although quite natural for our human experience, this perspective imposes a cause/effect framework to the system under study although such system may not have necessarily such cause/effect structure. Actually, from...

Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing

CRC Press, 2004

Remotely-sensed data has become important for the analysis, characterization and modeling of a wide array of land surface processes, whether biophysical or human, in the earth system sciences. These processes range from changes in vegetation over time and in response to climate changes and the impact of humans, through to even more complex changes...

Hibernate Search in Action

Manning Publications, 2008

I joined an e-commerce company in 2000, nothing unusual I suppose. We were quite annoyed by the quality of Amazon’s search engine results compared to ours. A few years later, we reimplemented our search engine from scratch using Lucene. That’s where I learned that a good search engine is 50% kick-ass technology and 50% deep...
