This book explores many useful and fun ways...

The versatile capabilities and large set of add-on packages make R an excellent alternative to many existing and often expensive data mining tools. Exploring this area from the perspective of a practitioner, Data Mining with R: Learning with Case Studies uses practical examples to illustrate the power of R and data...

This book was written to give beginning 3D artists a map through the art and how to get involved in the 3D industry. You can use this book by reading all the way through it cover to cover with or without doing the tutorials, by picking and choosing chapters based on gaps you want to fill, or as a quick reference to a concept you...

Clustering is an important unsupervised classification technique where a set of patterns, usually vectors in multidimensional space, are grouped into clusters based on some similarity or dissimilarity criteria. In crisp clustering, each pattern is assigned to exactly one cluster, whereas in fuzzy clustering, each pattern is given a...

As rising levels of mercury in the environment pose an increasing threat of toxicity to humans and wildlife, several laws already call for industries to reduce mercury emissions at the source. Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change outlines the infrastructure and methods needed to measure, monitor, and regulate the...

The ever increasing complexity of modern electronic devices together with the continually shrinking time-to-market and product lifetimes pose enormous chip design challenges to meet flexibility, performance and energy efficiency constraints. As a consequence, the current trend is towards programmable platforms (Multi-Processor System-on-Chip...
