High-Level Vision: Object Recognition and Visual Cognition

A Bradford Book, 1996

In this book, Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes of high-level vision that deal with the interpretation and use of what is seen in the image. In particular, he examines two major problems. The first, object recognition and classification, involves recognizing objects despite large variations in appearance caused by changes in viewing...

Managing with Humor: A Novel Approach to Building Positive Employee Emotions and Psychological Resources

Springer, 2019

This book focuses on an emerging area of study in management: managerial humor and its impact on employees' outcomes. Drawing from theoretical work that advocates humor as a managerial tool and building on existing theory and documented evidence on humor, the book explores how managers can use humor to positively affect...

Numerical Polynomial Algebra

SIAM, 2004

This first book on the numerical analysis of polynomial systems is a stepping stone at the interface of symbolic computation and numerical computation. Bernard Sturmfels, Department of Mathematics, University of Berkeley

I am not familiar with any books that do such a careful job of combining numerical analysis with the algebra of...

Pythagoras' Revenge: A Mathematical Mystery

Princeton Press, 2009

The celebrated mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras left no writings. But what if he had and the manuscript was never found? Where would it be located? And what information would it reveal? These questions are the inspiration for the mathematical mystery novel Pythagoras' Revenge. Suspenseful and instructive, Pythagoras'...

Dipeptidyl Aminopeptidases: Basic Science and Clinical Applications (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)

Springer, 2006

DPP IV has been attributed a large array of functions, some of which are mediated by its exopeptidase activity. Although it only removes two amino acid residues at the N-terminus of the peptide, this cleavage can inactivate or modify the activity of regulatory peptides, peptide hormones, chemokines and neuropeptides. Several...

Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1: Proceedings of the 2018 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series)

Springer, 2018

Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1 of the Proceedings of the 2018 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the first volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and...

MATLAB and C Programming for Trefftz Finite Element Methods

CRC Press, 2008

Although the Trefftz finite element method (FEM) has become a powerful computational tool in the analysis of plane elasticity, thin and thick plate bending, Poisson’s equation, heat conduction, and piezoelectric materials, there are few books that offer a comprehensive computer programming treatment of the subject. Collecting results...

Kallocain

Penguin Press, 2019

Leo Kall is a zealous, middle-ranking scientist in the totalitarian World State who has just made a thrilling discovery: a new drug, Kallocain, that will force anyone who takes it to tell the truth. At last, criminality will be dragged out into the open and private thought can finally be outlawed. But can the World State be trusted...

Modelling Complex Projects (Basic Topics in Psychology)

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

In recent years, the need for help in understanding project behaviour has been exacerbated, as projects have become more complex while time-scales have tightened, adding to project complexity. Project teams however, rarely pay sufficient attention to modelling the behaviour of projects and this can lead to inadequate risk analysis, ineffective...

Human - Computer Systems Interaction: Backgrounds and Applications 2: Part 1

Springer, 2011

A new procedure for combined validation of learning models – built for specifically uncertain data – is briefly described. The procedure, called the queue validation, relies on a combination of resubstitution with the modified learn-andtest paradigm. In the initial experiment [Burda and Hippe 2010] the developed...
