The C++ programming language, which includes C as a proper subset, has become the
preeminent programming language in the engineering and scientific fields. For most
engineers and scientists, however, using the full potential of C++, which is a hybrid language
containing both structured and object-oriented features, involves a gradual...
The purpose of this book is to teach fundamentals of programming concepts and
skills needed for basic problem solving, all using MATLABW as the vehicle.
MATLAB is a powerful software package that has built-in functions to accomplish
a diverse range of tasks, from mathematical operations to three-dimensional
imaging. Additionally,...
As the Web continues to grow and evolve, more and more data are
becoming available. Particularly, multimedia and XML-based data are produced
regularly and in increasing way in our daily digital activities, and their retrieval
and access must be explored and studied in this emergent web-based era. This book
provides reviews of...
The fun is just a tap away with the nifty NOOK Tablet!
It's an e-reader, it's a tablet, and it's hot! The NOOK Tablet offers all the advantages of an Android-based tablet, and this small-trim book is packed with information about how to use it. Learn to set up your NOOK Tablet, navigate the touchscreen, download...
This book deals with the current methods developed around the world on robotic
microassembly. It is dedicated to Master’s and Ph.D. students, and also scientists
and engineers involved in microrobotics and also in robotics. As robotic
microassembly is a new way to manufacture microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS),...
Expand your animation toolkit and remain competitive in the industry with this leading resource for 2D and 3D character animation techniques. Apply the industry's best practices to your own workflows and develop 2D, 3D and hybrid characters with ease. With side by side comparisons of 2D and 3D character design, improve your character...
This book is a practical guide to discovering and exploiting security flaws in web applications. By “web applications” we mean those that are accessed using a web browser to communicate with a web server. We examine a wide variety of different technologies, such as databases, file systems, and web services, but only in the context...
I still remember sitting down with my brand new copy of Writing Secure Code by Michael
Howard and David LeBlanc. Having moved beyond writing relatively simple intranet web
reports, (before the term "Bl" came to embody what at the time we thought was an incredibly
innovative way to display call center metrics for managing...
This book is intended for developers interested in learning more about how to develop against the set of Microsoft cloud services: Windows Azure and Office 365. In some cases, you can combine the two technologies to build your solution, but in other cases you will use only one of the cloud solutions, so understanding what each has to offer...
In recent years the Japanese have funded a comprehensive study of carbon materials which incorporate other elements including boron, nitrogen and fluorine, hence the title of the project "Carbon Alloys".
Coined in 1992, the phrase "Carbon Alloys" can be applied to those materials mainly composed of carbon...
Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a relatively new class of quasiductile
ceramic materials. They are characterized by carbon or ceramic fi bers embedded
in ceramic matrices (oxide or non - oxide) with comparatively low bonding
forces between the fi bers and the matrix. These weak intefaces, in combination
with a porous...
Stimulated by the pioneering work of Sajeev John and Eli Yablonovitsch in 1987,
German research groups started in the early 1990s with theoretical and experimental
work on 2D and 3D photonics crystals. This initial work was the basis of an
application for a focused project on photonic crystals at the German Science
Foundation...
