The microcontroller unit (MCU) is the ultimate electronics tinker-toy, and in this book you’re going to see
how to tinker away with it to your heart’s delight! My intended audience for this book is those who like to learn
hands-on. Learning by doing and seeing has always been my preferred way to learn: If it’s yours...
At its core, the process of designing reports hasn’t changed substantially in the past 20 years. The report designer lays out report objects, which contain data from a known source of data, in a design application such as Reporting Services, Business Objects Reports, or Microsoft Access. He or she then tests report execution,...
Gradle is the next-generation build automation. Not only does Gradle
use convention over configuration to provide good defaults, it is also adaptable for
use in every situation you encounter in daily development. Build logic is described
with a powerful DSL and empowers developers to create reusable and maintainable
build...
Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance of the Thorax was first published 21 years ago; it has been 7 years since the publication of the third edition. In retrospect it is truly amazing how much has changed...
Offering readers a concise and yet comprehensive reference, Satellite Technology provides a unique coverage of both the principles and applications in this wide field. This book covers the technological and application aspects of satellites in one volume, ensuring not only extensive coverage of communications-related applications of...
When I was first approached to produce a third edition of The Circuit Designer’s Companion, I was at first
reluctant to “mess with it”. It is rare to have a companion book that is not just a textbook, or a handbook,
but is seen in many respects to contain all the essential information that a “real” circuit...
Tremendous acceleration and changes in our daily
medical practice are occurring. Both as doctors and
ordinary citizens, we are aware of living in a world
more and more inuenced by information technology.
In surgery, this revolution has brought about a dramatic
acceleration of the introduction of new devices,...
The book describes the basics of machine learning principles and algorithms that are used in data mining and is intended for students of computer science, researchers who need to adapt various algorithms for particular data mining tasks, and for education of sophisticated users of machine learning and data mining tools.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) used to be regarded as a rare disease.
The increasing numbers of chronic hepatitis C virus carriers in the United
States and subsequent increased incidence of HCC seen in most large
medical centers means that it is no longer an uncommon disease for most
gastroenterologists or oncologists to...
This handbook accompanies the first edition of our text Pediatric
Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide. The purpose
of the handbook is to provide an on-the-spot summary of the
clinical problem for the student, resident, or clinician. The handbook
does not replace the text. Rather, it addresses the need for
a more...
The hybrid/heterogeneous nature of future microprocessors and large high-performance computing systems will result in a reliance on two major types of components: multicore/manycore central processing units and special purpose hardware/massively parallel accelerators. While these technologies have numerous benefits, they also pose substantial...
A classroom-tested introduction to integrated and fiber optics
This text offers an in-depth treatment of integrated and fiber optics, providing graduate students, engineers, and scientists with a solid foundation of the principles, capabilities, uses, and limitations of guided-wave optic devices and systems. In addition to...
