Machine Learning Methods in the Environmental Sciences: Neural Networks and Kernels

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Machine learning is a major subfield in computational intelligence (also called artificial intelligence). Its main objective is to use computational methods to extract information from data. Neural network methods, generally regarded as forming the first wave of breakthrough in machine learning, became popular in the late 1980s, while kernel...

Introduction to Databases: From Biological to Spatio-Temporal (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2009

This textbook reveals the workings of numerous database systems, enabling readers to develop complex database applications. Students will gain hands-on experience by following the exercises. The theory is complemented by detailed examination of specific applications from a broad range of areas. The text assumes only basic discrete mathematics,...

Non-linear Modeling and Analysis of Solids and Structures

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This book presents a theoretical treatment of nonlinear behavior of solids and structures in such a way that it is suitable for numerical computation, typically using the Finite Element Method. Starting out from elementary concepts, the author systematically uses the principle of virtual work, initially illustrated by truss structures, to give a...

Lung Mechanics: An Inverse Modeling Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2009

With mathematical and computational models furthering our understanding of lung mechanics, function and disease, this book provides an all-inclusive introduction to the topic from a quantitative standpoint. Focusing on inverse modeling, the reader is guided through the theory in a logical progression, from the simplest models up to state-of-the-art...

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on...

Algorithms

McGraw-Hill, 2006

This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly...

Theory of Science and Technology Transfer and Applications (Systems Evaluation, Prediction and Decision-Making)

Auerbach Publications, 2009

Constructive Suggestions for Efficiently Implementing Technology Transfer

Theory of Science and Technology Transfer and Applications presents the mechanisms, features, effects, and modes of technology transfer. It addresses the measurement, cost, benefit, optimal allocation, and game theory of technology transfer,...

Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering XVIII (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering)

Springer, 2009

These are the proceedings of the 18th international conference on domain decomposition methods in science and engineering, held in Jerusalem, January 12-17, 2008. Domain decomposition methods are iterative methods for solving the often very large linear or nonlinear systems of algebraic equations that arise when various problems in...

VMware ESX Server: Advanced Technical Design Guide (Advanced Technical Design Guide series)

Brian Madden Company, 2005

Detailing the design and deployment of a VMware ESX Server environment, and written from the practical experience of proven VMware engineers, this book provides IT architects with the insight needed to tackle tough design issues such as ESX Server security, network and SAN design, host hardware selection, guest selection and configuration,...

Fourier Analysis on Finite Abelian Groups (Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis)

Birkhauser, 2009

Fourier analysis has been the inspiration for a technological wave of advances in fields such as imaging processing, financial modeling, algorithms and sequence design. This unified, self-contained book examines the mathematical tools used for decomposing and analyzing functions, specifically, the application of the [discrete] Fourier transform...
