An essential overview of satellite communications from the organization that sets the international standards
Since their introduction in the mid-1960s, satellite communications have grown from a futuristic experiment into an integral part of today’s "wired world." Satellite communications are at the core of a global,...
One of the more confusing items about Web Services regards defining exactly what and why they are. Let's begin with why they exist.
Web Services exist to make it easier to integrate applications. Existing technologies include Java RMI, CORBA, and DCOM. All of these technologies work over networked environments and allow...
This book covers its subject very thoroughly. The framework the authors have established is very elegant and, if it catches on, this book could be the primary reference for this approach. I don't know of any other book that covers this set of topics. (Richard M. Murray, California Institute of Technology )
This book builds a novel bridge from molecular research to clinical therapy. This approach reveals the functional features of neurons and glia in the particular context of vulnerability and self-protection, intracellular properties and extracellular matrix. Arising from this platform, this volume unfolds the molecular and systemic processes...
In recent years, classical computability has expanded beyond its original scope to address issues related to computability and complexity in algebra, analysis, and physics. The deep interconnection between "computation" and "proof" has originated much of the most significant work in constructive mathematics and mathematical...
