This book approaches geological, geomorphological and topographical mapping from the point in the workflow at which science-ready datasets are available. Though there have been many individual projects on dynamic maps and online GISs, in which coding and data processing are given precedence over cartographic principles, cartography...
Extend the range of your Arduino skills, incorporate the new developments in both hardware and software, and understand how the electronic applications function in everyday life. This project-based book extends the Arduino Uno starter kits and increases knowledge of microcontrollers in...
"I found this to be an excellent book, and would not hesitate to recommend it to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students." Saturnino Luz, Computing Reviews
In this introduction to computational molecular biology, Rex Dwyer explains many basic computational problems and gives concise, working programs to...
With its expanding array of applications in everything from biodiversity modeling to wireless communications, it's no wonder digital terrain modeling (DTM) - the electronic process of representing topography in three dimensions -- is a hot subject among engineers and geoscientists. This concise resource is the first truly complete guide...
Programmers love its flexibility and speed; designers love its accessibility and convenience. When it comes to creating web sites, the PHP scripting language is truly a red-hot property. In fact, PHP is currently used on more than 19 million web sites, surpassing Microsoft's ASP .NET technology in popularity. Not surprisingly,...
This book demonstrates the measurement, monitoring, mapping, and modeling of forest resources. It explores state-of-the-art techniques based on open-source software & R statistical programming and modeling specifically, with a focus on the recent trends in data mining/machine learning techniques and robust modeling in forest resources....
From the basics of the nature of light to ray tracing and photon rendering, you'll learn how to bring a new dimension of reality to the graphics in your games. By beginning with the standard foundations of ray tracing and radiosity, you'll quickly learn how photon mapping has been able to combine the positive aspects of each...
Currently, spatial analysis is becoming more important than ever because enormous volumes of spatial data are available from different sources, such as GPS, Remote Sensing, and others.
This book deals with spatial analysis and modelling. It provides a comprehensive discussion of spatial analysis, methods, and approaches related to...
Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) is a highly effective and increasingly popular form of genetic programming. It represents programs in the form of directed graphs, and a particular characteristic is that it has a highly redundant genotype–phenotype mapping, in that genes can be noncoding. It has spawned a number of new...
There is a definite need by many users and practitioners for documented case studies and examples that demonstrate the first-hand use of Object Data Management in realworld applications and systems. During the past few years, we have seen tremendous interest in Java. There has been an important shift from using Java just on the clientside to the...
