Exploring the design and use of micro- and meso-actuators, this book begins with theory and a general synopsis of the state-of-the-art in theoretical research. It discusses how to employ modern approaches in research and design activity, then presents a systematic list of already available products and details their potential for use. Design...
The publication of the Encyclopedia of Science and Religion is a significant milestone
marking the maturation of the contemporary dialogue between the sciences
and religions. Not only does this Encyclopedia offer a massive amount of interdisciplinary
and interreligious information, but it mirrors one of the most fascinating...
This textbook is of an interdisciplinary nature and is designed for a two- or one-semester course in
probability and statistics, with basic calculus as a prerequisite. The book is primarily written to give
a sound theoretical introduction to statistics while emphasizing applications. If teaching statistics
is the main purpose of a...
Biomedical research is at a critical point at present. The research has led
to an enormous amount of data and models describing these data, but approaches
for application, formalization and integration of this knowledge from
the molecular to the system level are still topics of ongoing research and certainly
far from fully...
This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Topics covered in Volume 18 include molecular modeling, computer-assisted molecular design (camd), quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics and dynamics, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (qsar).
Kaufmann and Schwitters have built this text's reputation on clear and concise exposition, numerous examples, and plentiful problem sets. This traditional text consistently reinforces the following common thread: learn a skill; practice the skill to help solve equations; and then apply what you have learned to solve application problems....
This book is intended as a text/reference for students, researchers, and professors interested in physical and biomedical applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI are emphasized. The book begins with a comprehensive discussion of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) phenomenon based...
From the earliest cities on earth through the Great Wall of China on to the Three Rivers Gorges Dam project, project management has been a part of the march of civilization. Common Sense Project Management is a straightforward, often entertaining workbook approach to organizing and managing projects of virtually any size or complexity. Its...
This book gives an introduction to the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations approximately. Our approach is mathematical in nature with a strong focus on the underlying mathematical principles, such as approximation properties of piecewise polynomial spaces, and variational...
Approaches to building machines that can learn from experience abound - from connectionist learning algorithms and genetic algorithms to statistical mechanics and a learning system based on Piaget's theories of early childhood development. This monograph describes results derived from the mathematically oriented framework of computational...
Gain a deep understanding of audio practice and theory with this easy-to-read book, illustrated with more than 400 figures and photographs. Using common sense, plain-English explanations and minimal math, author Ethan Winer helps you understand audio at the deepest, most technical level—no engineering degree necessary.
The present book is dedicated to Dr. Rolf Landauer, whose early work on the subject
of reversible computing inspired me to begin more than 15 years of research
in this special corner of computer science. Twice I had the privilege to meet him
personally: once inWest Berlin (1992) and once in Boston (1996). Twice he encouraged
me...
