 Putting A New Spin on Groups: The Science of ChaosPutting a New Spin on Groups: The Science of Chaos, Second Edition continues to challenge orthodoxy and static ideas about small group dynamics. A primary goal is to offer an alternative model of group development that addresses three factors:
*The model integrates old ideas from previous models of group development with new... |  |  The Lanczos Method: Evolution and Application (Software, Environments and Tools)'I recommend this book to anyone who wants to appreciate the often subtle interactions between algorithm research and engineering applications. For the engineer, it comprehensively summarizes 25 years of intellectual development in the understanding of the basic Lanczos algorithm and its many variants. For the numerical analysts, it describes the... |  |  Plastic Analysis and Design of Steel StructuresSimple introduction to plastic analysis of complex steel structures
The plastic analysis method has been used extensively by engineers for designing steel structures. Simpler structures can be analyzed using the basic virtual work formulation, but more complex frames are evaluated with specialist computer software. This new... |

 The Next Wave in Computing, Optimization, and Decision TechnologiesBrown et al. (2004) (see also Reed 1994 and Skroch 2004) model the completion of an adversarial nation’s nuclear-weapons program using general techniques of PERT. (See PERT 1958 and Malcolm et al. 1959 for the original descriptions of PERT, and see Moder et al. 1983 for a comprehensive review.) Brown et al. (2004) ask the... |  |  3D Computer Vision: Efficient Methods and Applications (X.media.publishing)This book provides an introduction to the foundations of three-dimensional computer vision and describes recent contributions to the field. Geometric methods include linear and bundle adjustment based approaches to scene reconstruction and camera calibration, stereo vision, point cloud segmentation, and pose estimation of rigid, articulated, and... |  |  Environmental Foresight and Models: A Manifesto
Policy-makers and the public, it has famously been said, are more interested in the possibility of non-linear dislocations and surprises in the behaviour of the environment than in smooth extrapolations of current trends. The International Task Force in Forecasting Environmental Change (1993-1998) dedicated its work to developing procedures... |
