Helium Cryogenics (International Cryogenics Monograph Series)

Springer, 2012

Twenty five years have elapsed since the original publication of Helium Cryogenics. During this time, a considerable amount of research and development involving helium fluids has been carried out culminating in several large-scale projects. Furthermore, the field has matured through these efforts so that there is now a broad...

Developing Visual Basic Add-ins: The VB IDE Extensibility Model

O'Reilly, 1999

Most developers can think of dozens of ways in which they'd like to modify Visual Basic's integrated development environment (or IDE) in order to work more productively. These enhancements can range from simple items (like determining the version of Visual Basic for Applications used by the IDE, or clearing the Immediate...

Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager

Apress, 2012

The humor and insights in the 2nd Edition of Managing Humans are drawn from Michael Lopp's management experiences at Apple, Netscape, Symantec, and Borland, among others.

Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-scale Web Sites

O'Reilly, 1998

Some web sites "work" and some don't. Good web site consultants know that you can't just jump in and start writing HTML, the same way you can't build a house by just pouring a foundation and putting up some walls. You need to know who will be using the site, and what they'll be using it for. You need some...

Applications of Fourier Transforms to Generalized Functions

WIT Press, 2011

The generalized function is one of the important branches of mathematics that has enormous application in practical fields. Especially, its applications to the theory of distribution and signal processing are very much noteworthy. The method of generating solutions is the Fourier transform, which has great applications to the...

Robust Algebraic Multilevel Methods and Algorithms (Radon Series on Computational and Applied Mathematics)

Walter de Gruyter, 2009

The iterative methods play an important role in solving linear equations that arise in real-world applications. Numerous properties of the problem may affect the efficiency of the solution. This book deals with algorithms for the solution of linear systems of algebraic equations with large-scale sparse matrices, with a focus on...

Approximation Methods for Polynomial Optimization: Models, Algorithms, and Applications (SpringerBriefs in Optimization)

Springer, 2012

Polynomial optimization, as its name suggests, is used to optimize a generic multivariate polynomial function, subject to some suitable polynomial equality and/or inequality constraints. Such problem formulation dates back to the nineteenth century when the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and sum of squares (SOS) was...

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Applications (International Series of Numerical Mathematics)

Birkhauser, 2013

This book primarily concerns quasilinear and semilinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, inequalities, and systems. The exposition leads the reader through the general theory based on abstract (pseudo-) monotone or accretive operators as fast as possible towards the analysis of concrete differential equations, which have...
