"Quantum Computing without Magic gives a refreshing and down to earth approach to quantum information as well as quantum devices which will have a fundamental impact on the technology of the 21st century." —Raymond Laflamme, Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information, and Director, Institute for...
Strong leaders are essential to business success, which makes leadership development a business imperative in today’s competitive environment. Leaders are needed that can do more than manage - leaders are needed that can make a business great. In addition, there is increasing pressure on organizations to demonstrate the wise investment...
Vagueness is central to the flexibility and robustness of natural language descriptions. Vague concepts are robust to the imprecision of our perceptions, while still allowing us to convey useful, and sometimes vital, information. The study of vagueness in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is therefore motivated by the desire to incorporate this...
Provides advanced treatment and in-depth coverage of the origins, procedures, and disposal of contaminants in the manufacturing of semiconductors and other precision products. Offers solutions to inadequate areas of measurement capability and control technology, clarifying problems in the industry.
Build an effective vulnerability management strategy to protect your organization’s assets, applications, and data.
Today’s network environments are dynamic, requiring multiple defenses to mitigate vulnerabilities and stop data breaches. In the modern enterprise, everythingconnected to the network is a...
Computer vision encompasses the construction of integrated vision systems and the application of vision to problems of real-world importance. The process of creating 3D models is still rather difficult, requiring mechanical measurement of the camera positions or manual alignment of partial 3D views of a scene. However using algorithms, it is...
Traditional methods for handling spatial data are encumbered by the assumption of separate origins for horizontal and vertical measurements. Modern measurement systems operate in a 3-D spatial environment. The 3-D Global Spatial Data Model: Foundation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure offers a new model for handling digital...
Applies theoretical fundamentals to real-world issues, heavily relying on examples from recent design projects. Key discussions include system design schemes, circuits and components for system evaluations and design.
An excellent resource for engineers and technicians alike, this practical design guide offers a comprehensive and...
Measurement and Instrumentation introduces undergraduate engineering students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. Based on Morris's Measurement and Instrumentation Principles, this brand new text has been fully updated with coverage of...
Investment and risk management problems are fundamental problems for financial institutions and involve both speculative and hedging decisions. A structured approach to these problems naturally leads one to the field of applied mathematics in order to translate subjective probability beliefs and attitudes towards risk and reward into...
