Mac OS X Leopard introduces a fantastic new technology that makes writing applications with animated and cinematic user interfaces much easier. We'll explore this new technology by starting with the familiar concepts you already know from the pre-Leopard development kits.
Then we'll see how they apply to the new frameworks and APIs. We'll...
This classic Tutorial Text provides a basic understanding of many fundamental optical principles. The second edition has been updated to reflect the development of electronic sensors, as well as the advent of mainstream consumer optical products. Chapters also emphasize the application of state-of-the-art computer software to generate...
Hardbound. This book originated out of a desire to combine topics on vibrational absorption, Raman scattering, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (VROA) into one source. The theoretical details of these processes are presented in ten different chapters. Using dispersive and Fourier transform techniques, the...
As far as I know, the systematic study on chalcogenide glasses as semiconductors was initiated
around the 1950s by a research group headed by B.T. Kolomiets of the Ioffe Physico-Technical
Institute. During the half-century that followed, amorphous semiconductors have acquired
their own citizenship as an unchallenged, independent area of...
Collision-Based Computing presents a unique overview of computation with mobile self-localized patterns in non-linear media, including computation in optical media, mathematical models of massively parallel computers, and molecular systems.
It covers such diverse subjects as conservative computation in billiard ball models...
Step-by-step field guide for fiber optic cable installation. Bob Chomycz's put-it-in-your-pocket-and-go Fiber Optic Installer's Field Manual explains fiber optic cable installation via an extremely effective, heavily illustrated, step-by-step approach. This easy-look-up compendium gives you diagrams and procedures you can count on, whether you're...
