Between the frequently recounted events of the Gold Rush and the Great Depression stretches a period of California history that is equally crucial but less often acknowledged. In his fresh, synthetic consideration of these in-between years, George L. Henderson points specifically to the take-off of California's rural juggernaut between...
Scientific criminology has its roots in crime mapping. The first great systematic
studies of crime were cartographic exercises made possible by recordkeeping
systems created to track criminal convictions in France and England
during the early part of the 19th century. Compared with maps of demographic,
economic, and social...
The data access landscape over the past seven or so years has changed dramatically.
Relational databases, the heart of storing and processing data in the enterprise for over
30 years, are no longer the only game in town. The past seven years have seen the birth
—and in some cases the death—of many...
The mobile phone—specifically the iPhone, which continues to define the state of the
art for smartphones—has become the primary interface device for geographicallytagged
data.
Take advantage of iPhone and iPad sensors and advanced geolocation technologies to build state-of-the-art location...
A learning method is an algorithm (usually implemented in software) that esti-
mates an unknown mapping (dependency) between a system’s inputs and outputs
from the available data, namely from known (input, output) samples. Once such
a dependency has been accurately estimated, it can be used for prediction of future
system...
Dr Donald Bailey starts with introductory material considering the problem of embedded image processing, and how some of the issues may be solved using parallel hardware solutions. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are introduced as a technology that provides flexible, fine-grained hardware that can readily exploit parallelism within...
This book has developed from a one-term course in differential geometry given for juniors, seniors, and graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It presents the fundamental conceptions of the theory of curves and surfaces and applies them to a number of examples. Some care is given to historical, biographical, and...
