Introduction to Biometrics

Springer, 2011

A number of crucial societal applications like international border crossing, electronic commerce, and welfare disbursement require reliable person recognition systems. Traditional person authentication methods based on passwords and identity documents often fail to meet the stringent security and performance demands of these...

Applying Psychology to Everyday Life: A Beginner's Guide

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

I began by wanting to write a book entitled something like Where Psychology Has Gone Wrong. The reason for this desire came from thinking that psychology is a far more interesting and stimulating subject than it would appear to be from a glance at some academic texts and journal articles. Also, many students begin their...

New Perspectives on Computer Concepts 2012: Introductory

Course Technology PTR, 2011

Synchronicity. It’s all about students and instructors tuning in to each other. And technology makes it possible. In a world of networks, e-mail, webinars, and social networking sites, technology can certainly strengthen the link between instructors and students.

New Perspectives on Computer Concepts 2012 is...

Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology

CRC Press, 2006

Polyurethane foams debuted over 60 years ago. At the present time these types of foams make up the largest segment in the thermosetting foam industry. This book describes polyurethane (PUR) and urethane linkage-modified polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams. A characteristic of these foams lies in the versatility of their physical...

A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language

Morgan Kaufmann, 2008

Systems engineering is a multidisciplinary approach for developing solutions to complex problems. The increase in system complexity is demanding more rigorous and formalized systems engineering practices. In response to this demand, along with advancements in computer technology, the practice of systems engineering is...

Hoax of the Twentieth Century

Theses & Dissertations Press, 2003

Professor A. R. Butz was the first (and so far the only) writer to treat the entire Holocaust complex from the Revisionist perspective, in a precise scientific manner. This book exhibits the overwhelming force of historical and logical arguments which Revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 70s. This new edition comes with several...

The Philosophy of Software: Code and Mediation in the Digital Age

Palgrave Macmillan, 2011

Writing remains to me an unusual practice that transforms my experience of the world whilst under the spell of writing. This book has had a particularly intensive birth, written as it is in the middle of the academic year and with everyday life swirling around it with all the attendant distractions. It has emerged from a number of related...

Information Security for Automatic Speaker Identification

Springer, 2011

Speaker identification is a widely used technique in several security systems. In remote access systems, speaker utterances are recoded and communicated through a communication channel to a receiver that performs the identification process. Speaker identification is based on characterizing each speaker with a set of features...

Analog Circuit Design for Process Variation-Resilient Systems-on-a-Chip

Springer, 2012

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...

Signal Processing for Remote Sensing

CRC Press, 2007

Signal processing has been playing an increasingly important role in remote sensing, though most remote sensing literatures are concerned with remote sensing images. Many data received by remote sensors such as microwave and geophysical sensors, are signals or waveforms, which can be processed by analog and digital signal...

Natural and Wood Fibre Reinforcement in Polymers (Rapra Review Reports)

Smithers Rapra Technology, 2002

The use of composite materials dates from centuries ago, when it all started with natural fibres. In ancient Egypt some 3,000 years ago, clay was reinforced by straw to build walls. Later on the natural fibre lost much of its interest.

This report examines the different fibre types available and the current research. The...

Business Intelligence and Agile Methodologies for Knowledge-Based Organizations: Cross-Disciplinary Applications

IGI Global, 2011

Business intelligence is made possible by the existence of Information Technology. Business intelligence aims to support better business decision-making. To use agile methodologies and to develop Information Technology faster and cheaper is to put an icing on the cake. I doubt that Hans Peter Luhn was aware of the consequences of...
