Wouldn't it be great if there were a physics book that showed you how things work instead of telling you how? Finally, with Head First Physics, there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just...
Unlike wired networks where transmitters have no effect on receivers other than their own, in wireless networks we are limited by interference. The traditional routing methods are not optimal any more when it comes to a wireless medium. The maximum data rate on each link depends not only on the power in that link but also on the transmitted...
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 is the latest version of the enormously popular web design tool. In its original incarnation, Flash gave web designers an efficient way to send artwork and animation over limitedbandwidth connections. Flash’s claim to fame was its ability to deliver vector images over the web, making download times shorter....

The seed for this book was planted by a second-year resident in Neurology, Vicente (ÑÐЬEnzoÑÐÐ) Trapani, who desired a handbook in electromyography (EMG) that emphasized both muscle localization and clinical pearls. A gifted artist, Trapani envisioned a text that would provide high-quality illustrations of skeletal...
Machine Translation (MT) is both an engineering technology and a measure of all things to do with languages and computers—whenever a new theory of language or linguistics is offered, an important criteria for its success is whether or not it will improve machine translation.
This book presents a history of machine translation (MT) from...
