Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a relatively new class of quasiductile
ceramic materials. They are characterized by carbon or ceramic fi bers embedded
in ceramic matrices (oxide or non - oxide) with comparatively low bonding
forces between the fi bers and the matrix. These weak intefaces, in combination
with a porous...
If you are reading Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Creating and Implementing Real-World
Projects, it is likely that you are experienced with SharePoint but looking for ways to
really get the most from the out-of-the-box tools. Let’s face it; the truth is that Share-
Point is a large platform, with many different...
Owen Bishop introduces, through hands-on project work, the mechanics, electronics and programming involved in practical robot design-and-build. The use of the PIC microcontroller throughout provides a painless introduction to programming whilst harnessing the power of a highly popular microcontroller used by students and design engineers...
In just 24 sessions of one hour or less, start using Core Data to build powerful data-driven apps for iOS devices and Mac OS X computers! Using this book’s straightforward, step-by-step approach, you’ll discover how Apple’s built-in data persistence framework can help you meet any data-related...
Tucked alongside the Fire and its power cord is a playing card–sized “getting to know your Kindle” guide. It’s enough to usher you onto the home screen, where you’ll find a bare-bones User’s Guide—the kind that covers a headline–only list of features, without telling you much about...
It’s a visual world these days. Want your Facebook friends to see what you’re having
for lunch? Post a picture. Need an extra whatchamacallit from the hardware
store? Just show them a photo. It’s just so much easier than trying to describe
such things with words. Everybody has a digital camera now....
Computer graphics involves simulating the distribution of light in a 3D
environment. There are only a few fundamentally different algorithms that
have survived the test of time. They can be loosely classified into projective
algorithms and image-space algorithms. The former class projects each geo
metric primitive onto the...
Thank you for reading jQuery for Designers. This book is intended for designers who have
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, but want to advance their skill set by learning
some basic JavaScript. Even if you've never attempted to write JavaScript before, this book
will step you through the process of setting up some basic...
Simulation has made possible systems that would otherwise be impracticable. The sophisticated controls in modern aircraft and automobiles, the powerful microprocessors in desktop computers, and space-faring robots are possible because simulations reduce substantially the need for expensive prototypes. These complicated systems are designed...
This book describes several techniques to address variation-related design challenges for analog blocks in mixed-signal systems-on-chip. The methods presented are results from recent research works involving receiver front-end circuits, baseband filter linearization, and data conversion. These circuit-level techniques are described, with...
Due to the rapid advances in computer technology, intelligent computer software and
multimedia have become essential parts of engineering education. Software integration with
various media such as graphics, sound, video and animation is providing efficient tools for
teaching and learning. A modern textbook should contain both the...
THE MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS intelligence tool in the Microsoft Swiss Army knife of tools is SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). This is because the other tools would be nothing without the cleansing and movement of data into a presentable format. The product can extract, transform, and load (ETL) data astonishingly fast. A 2010 benchmark...
