Numerical modelling of geodynamic processes was predominantly the domain of high-level mathematicians experienced in numerical and computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and applications from a single, accessible reference text. Assuming only minimal...

*The classic reference, with over 25,000 copies in print, has been massively expanded and thoroughly updated to include state-of-the-art methods and 400+ all-new full color images!

At ILM, compositing is one of the most important tools we use. If you want to learn more, this excellent 2nd-edition is detailed with hundreds of...

First of all, I should explain the title of this book. This is not really an advanced...

Get last-word guidelines for selecting and optimizing wireless/RF ICs with John D. Lenk's Optimizing Wireless/RF Circuits. As you'd expect from an author whose electronics guidebooks have sold over 2 million copies worldwide, instead of complex math and abstract theory this hands-on...

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However, despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a computer interpret an image at the same level as a two-year old remains elusive. Why is computer vision such a challenging problem and what is the current state of the...

In October 2000, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology selected the block cipher Rijndael as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology.|This book by the designers of the block cipher presents...

It is hoped that this book will serve both as a text in time-series analysis and signal processing and as a reference book for research workers and practitioners. Timeseries analysis and signal processing are two subjects which ought to be treated as one; and they are the concern of a wide range of applied disciplines including statistics,...

Widely acclaimed text on essential engineering mathematics. Theory of complex variables, Cauchy-Riemann equations, conformal mapping, multivalued functions, etc. Also Fourier and Laplace Transform theory, its applications to engineering, including integrals, linear integrodifferential equations, Z Transform, much more. Many excellent...

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theories, techniques and applications of image fusion. It is aimed at advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science. It should also be useful to practicing engineers who wish to learn the concepts of image fusion and use them in...

Difference Equations, Second Edition, presents a practical introduction to this important field of solutions for engineering and the physical sciences. Topic coverage includes numerical analysis, numerical methods, differential equations, combinatorics and discrete modeling. A hallmark of this revision is the diverse application to...

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...

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry),...
