The dark matter problem is one of the most fundamental and profoundly difficult problems in the history of science. Not knowing what makes up most of the mass in the Universe goes to the heart of our understanding of the Universe and our place in it. In Search of Dark Matter is the story of the emergence of the dark matter problem, from the...
This is a book about maintaining the single most complex, unfathomable, and overhyped
appliance you will ever own. Upgrading and maintaining your computer is a
difficult and bewildering task, and yet you are the most qualified person to handle it.
The main reason is because you are perhaps the only person you can trust entirely to...
Using MATLAB® examples wherever possible, Multi-Sensor Data Fusion with MATLAB explores the three levels of multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF): kinematic-level fusion, including the theory of DF; fuzzy logic and decision fusion; and pixel- and feature-level image fusion. The authors elucidate DF...
Methods of advanced data collecting and their analysis, models which help with decision problems as well as technical solutions which improve the integrity of contemporary transport systems at urban area are only some of many problems connected with integration in passenger and freight transport which have been discussed in this...
The telecommunications industry doesn¿t stand still. Neither should you. To gain a solid overview of this fast-breaking field--one that can really benefit your work every day--no reference but the Broadband Telecommunications Handbook will do.
"It is easy to write books that address broad topics and ideas leaving the reader with the question Yes, but how? By combining a comprehensive guide to data preparation for data mining along with specific examples in SAS, Mamdouh's book is a rare finda blend of theory and the practical at the same time. As anyone who has mined data will...
With the dramatic increases in on-chip packing densities, routing congestion has become a major problem in chip design. The problem is especially acute as interconnects are also the performance bottleneck in integrated circuits. The solution lies in judicious resource management. This involves intelligent allocation of the available interconnect...
Over the past decade computer networks as well as the attacks against them have become increasingly complex. As information technology professionals we are faced with overcoming challenges every day, and learning new security concepts should not be one of them. I have known Richard, the author of this book, during this same time, and his gift of...
Learn the basics of modern robotics while building your own intelligent robot from scratch! You'll use inexpensive household materials to make the base for your robot, then add motors, power, wheels, and electronics.
But wait, it gets better: your creation is actually five robots in one! -- build...
This practical guide to understanding, developing, and applying emotional intelligence in the workplace details a four-part hierarchy of emotional skills: identifying emotions, using them to facilitate thinking, and understanding and managing emotions.
We have long been taught that emotions should be felt and expressed in carefully...
Embedded microcontrollers are everywhere today. In the average household you will find them far beyond the obvious places like cell phones, calculators, and MP3 players. Hardly any new appliance arrives in the home without at least one controller and, most likely, there will be several—one microcontroller for the user interface (buttons and...
Knowledge-based Configuration incorporates knowledge representation formalisms to capture complex product models and reasoning methods to provide intelligent interactive behavior with the user. This book represents the first time that corporate and academic worlds collaborate integrating research and commercial benefits of...
