The way electronic measurement instruments are built is making an evolutionary leap to a new method of design called synthetic instruments. This promises to be the most significant advance in electronic test and instrumentation since the introduction of automated test equipment (ATE). The switch to synthetic instruments is beginning now, and it...
The emphasis on collaborative management of children's health has led to the involvement of multiple disciplines in pediatric health care. This shift has resulted in an increasing focus on the assessment of children's functioning across multiple domains. The Task Force on Pediatric Education (1978) noted several decades ago that the types of...
Grounding is the fundamental measures to ensure the safe operation of power systems, including power apparatus and control/monitoring systems, and guarantee the personal safety. Grounding technology is an interdiscipline involving electrical engineering, high voltage technology, electric safety, electromagnetics, numerical analysis, and...
Epistaxis is defined as bleeding from the nose and
is one of the commonest emergencies dealt with by
the otolaryngologist. The overall incidence of epi-
staxis in the general population is difficult to deter-
mine because most cases are unreported, minor,
self-limiting episodes or those controlled with sim-
ple first-aid...
It is an unusual event for a textbook covering such a national and international networks and the use of highly specialized field as contact dermatitis to be standardized methodology, a highly differentiated published in its fourth edition within a time period picture can now be painted; we know the major p- of 13 years. When the European and...
Do you have a handle on basic physics terms and concepts, but your problem-solving skills could use some static friction? Physics Workbook for Dummies helps you build upon what you already know to learn how to solve the most common physics problems with confidence and ease.
Over the past decades the medical care of the patient with cardiovascular disease (CVD)
has shown an impressive development, with marked positive consequences for mortality,
morbidity, and the quality of life of coronary patients. This improvement has
profoundly changed the arena in which cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been acting...
When looking for ways to improve your website, how do you decide which changes to make? And which changes to keep? This concise book shows you how to use Multiarmed Bandit algorithms to measure the real-world value of any modifications you make to your site. Author John Myles White shows you how this powerful class of algorithms can...
Image registration is the process of finding correspondence between all points in
two images of a scene. This correspondence is required in stereo depth perception,
3-D scene reconstruction, object detection and recognition, change detection, image
fusion, object tracking and motion analysis. Analysis of two or more images of a...
From a review of the first edition: "This book […] covers in depth a broad range of topics in the mathematical theory of phase transition in statistical mechanics. […] It is in fact one of the author's stated aims that this comprehensive monograph should serve both as an introductory text and as a reference for the...
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are a set of algorithms in the Evolutionary Computation (EC) field characterized by the use of explicit probability distributions in optimization. Contrarily to other EC techniques such as the broadly known Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in EDAs, the crossover and mutation operators are substituted by the...
