Based on over 20 years of research, Drs. Mollenauer and Gordon have written an indispensable reference on solitons for the engineering and applied physics communities. Covering the soliton from both the theoretical and practical side, this book is at once a fundamental text and an extensive handbook of contemporary engineering practice. ...
This text provides an introduction to the science that governs the interaction of light and matter (in the gas phase). It provides readers with the basic knowledge to exploit the light-matter interaction to develop quantitative tools for gas analysis (i.e. optical diagnostics) and understand and interpret the results of spectroscopic...
This book is aimed at providing all of the essential information, both theoretical and computational, in order that the reader can, starting from essentially nothing, understand how the electronic, optical and transport properties of semiconductor heterostructures are calculated. However, perhaps more importantly, starting from this low...
These proceedings contain the papers that were presented at the 5th International
Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications (LATA
2011), held in Tarragona, Spain, during May 26–31, 2011.
The scope of LATA is rather broad, including: algebraic language theory;
algorithms for semi-structured...
Computer Vision is fast becoming an important technology and is used in Mars robots, national security systems, automated factories, driver-less cars, and medical image analysis to new forms of human-computer interaction. OpenCV is the most common library for computer vision, providing hundreds of complex and fast algorithms. But it has a...
