Making, Breaking Codes: Introduction to Cryptology

Prentice Hall, 2001

This book is an introduction to modern ideas in cryptology and how to employ these ideas. It includes the relevant material on number theory, probability, and abstract algebra, in addition to descriptions of ideas about algorithms and com plexity theory. Three somewhat different terms appear in the discussion of secure communications...

Endosymbiosis

Springer, 2013

The origin of energy-conserving organelles, the mitochondria of all aerobic eukaryotes and the plastids of plants and algae, is commonly thought to be the result of endosymbiosis, where a primitive eukaryote engulfed a respiring α-proteobacterium or a phototrophic cyanobacterium, respectively. While present-day heterotrophic...

Mapping Antarctica: A Five Hundred Year Record of Discovery (Springer Praxis Books)

Springer, 2013

Antarctica was to be the greatest discovery of them all! It was never to be a tripping over of a piece of useless land: the Greek philosophers had predicted a polar land- mass of geophysical importance! The question was rather whether or not man could bridge the "torrid equatorial zone" that was thought to separate the...

Interpreting anaphors in natural language texts (Ellis Horwood series in artificial intelligence)

Halsted Press, 1987

Perhaps the major obstacle to the development of computer programs capable of the sophisticated processing of natural language is the problem of representing and using the large and varied quantities of world or domain knowledge that are, in general, required. This book describes an attempt to circumvent this obstacle for one...

Box2D for Flash Games

Packt Publishing, 2012

Physics games are getting more and more popular, and Box2D is the best choice if you are looking for a free, stable and robust library to handle physics. With Box2D you can create every kind of 2D physics game, only coding is not the fun part, but the game itself.

"Box2D for Flash Games" will guide you through the process...

Syntactic Pattern Recognition: An Introduction (Applied Mathematics and Computation; No. 14)

Addison Wesley, 1978

This book was written to provide students, engineers, and scientists involved in pattern recognition, digital image processing, and artificial intelligence with a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and tech- niques of syntactic pattern recognition.

Syntactic pattern recognition is concerned with the...

Augmented Reality using Appcelerator Titanium Starter

Packt Publishing, 2012

I first starting thinking about human/machine augmentations in 2000 when I started a company focused in the Telco software space. Initially, I focused on how to enable wireless content development, but at that time, devices were primitive. High speed networks hadn't fully taken on in many areas of the U.S. for mobile networks...

Evolutionary Algorithms in Molecular Design (Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry)

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Nature has solved its most complicated problem, the creation, variation, and improvement of living organisms, in a simple and efficient manner. Starting from primitive forms in earth history, mutation and crossover produced variations that had to struggle for their existence and to compete with their ancestors and genetically...

3ds Max 2012 Bible

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

Every time I enter the computer room (which my wife calls the dungeon), my wife still says that I am off to my “fun and games.” I, as always, flatly deny this accusation, saying that it is serious work that I am involved in. But later, when I emerge with a twinkle in my eye and excitedly ask her to take a look at my...

Ray Tracing from the Ground Up

AK Peter, 2007

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...

Android NDK Beginner's Guide

Packt Publishing, 2012

The short history of computing machines has witnessed some major events, which forever transformed our usage of technology. From the first massive main frames to the democratization of personal computers, and then the interconnection of networks. Mobility is the next revolution. Like the primitive soup, all the ingredients are now...

The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation

Praxis, 2010

The technological marvel that facilitated the Apollo missions to the Moon was the on-board computer. In the 1960s most computers filled an entire room, but the spacecraft’s computer was required to be compact and low power. Although people today find it difficult to accept that it was possible to control a spacecraft using such a...
