This user's guide does far more than simply outline the ARM Cortex-M3 CPU features; it explains step-by-step how to program and implement the processor in real-world designs. It teaches readers how to utilize the complete and thumb instruction sets in order to obtain the best functionality, efficiency, and reuseability. The author, an ARM...

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) was conceived at a time when computers were not widely used, and thus computational ability was rather limited. As computational sophistication has increased, EDA has become an even more powerful process for visualizing and summarizing data before making model assumptions to generate hypotheses, encompassing...

The 21st-century world is a fundamentally interdependent place. Globalization has expanded, intensified, and accelerated social relations across world-time and world-space. The digital revolution has served as a catalyst for the creation of sprawling information and communication networks that enmesh individuals, states, and businesses alike....

Practically next door to us in our Solar System, Mars is the most Earth-like of all the worlds held in perpetual motion by the Sun’s gravity. It is a planet that has fascinated and intrigued humans since prehistoric times. The Greeks named it Ares, after their god of war. The connection was easy to make because of the planet’s...

In order to meet the miniaturization requirements of portable communication equipment, researchers have given much attention recently to compact microstrip antennas. Many related compact designs with broadband dual-frequency operation, dualpolarized radiation, circularly polarized radiation, and enhanced antenna gain have been reported. Many...
