With reference to absorption spectroscopy,we deal herewith photon absorption by electrons
distributed within specific orbitals in a population of molecules. Upon absorption, one
electron reaches an upper vacant orbital of higher energy. Thus, light absorption would
induce the molecule excitation. Transition from ground to excited...
If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets.
The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel...
This is a book that tries to tell the story of some recent events, all within living memory, from a different angle: intelligence. Most of us have read press accounts and books about the events that unfold on these pages. But very few of us have seen the events from the inside. The inside implies knowledge: and knowledge means power.
A constraint is a restriction on a space of possibilities; it is a piece of knowledge that
narrows the scope of this space. Because constraints arise naturally in most areas of
human endeavor, they are the most general means for formulating regularities that
govern our computational, physical, biological, and social worlds. Some...
Pixel Shaders are one of the more powerful graphic tools available for XAML programmers.
I first encountered them in the Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5 SP1 release
and was completely smitten. It didn’t take long to learn that I could create custom
shaders, commonly called Effects in WPF, and add them to...
In general, there is a perception that Calculus is an extremely difficult subject, probably because
the required number of good teachers and good books are not available. We know that books
cannot replace teachers, but we are of the opinion that, good books can definitely reduce
dependence on teachers, and students can gain more...
Welcome to what is probably the most difficult exam in the current range of SQL Server 2005
exams available, the “Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005”
70-441 exam.
The reason why it is such a difficult exam is because it has both a breadth and a depth that...
Single processor supercomputers have achieved great speeds and have been pushing hardware technology to the physical limit of chip manufacturing. But soon this trend will come to an end, because there are physical and architectural bounds, which limit the computational power that can be achieved with a single processor system. In...
The practice of building software is a “new kid on the block” technology. Though it may not seem this way for those who have been in the field for most of their careers, in the overall scheme of professions, software builders are relative “newbies.”
In the short history of the software field, a lot of facts have...
After spending the summer north of the Arctic Circle, basking in the midnight sun and the warmest weather for over 100 years in Finland, I was especially happy to find this book sitting on my desk waiting to be read. Although there is no shortage of books on agile methodologies and practices, something had been missing. The concept of quality is...
