PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS, Fourth Edition, continues the approach that has made previous editions successful. As a teacher and researcher at a premier engineering school, author Tony Hayter is in touch with engineers daily--and understands their vocabulary. The result of this familiarity with the professional...
First of all, it is necessary to point out that this is not a mathematical book, albeit
obviously the subject of decision-making rests a good deal on this discipline, since
it is almost impossible to take decisions without the help of some indicators,
ratios, weights, procedures, algorithms, etc. which are in essence mathematical...
Product design is characterized by a steady increase in complexity. The main focus of this book is a structural approach on complexity management. This means, system structures are considered in order to address the challenge of complexity in all aspects of product design. Structures arise from the complex dependencies of system elements....
Desktop computing proficiency is increasingly important in today’s business world. As
a result, when screening, hiring, and training employees, employers can feel reassured
by relying on the objectivity and consistency of technology certification to ensure the
competence of their workforce. As an employee or job...
The region between the shoulder and wrist is an important part of the body, as without the upper extremity there is severe functional impairment. In many ways, such impairment is greater than the counterpart in the lower extremity; this is readily apparent by looking at the homunculus of the somato-motor regions of the brain. Realizing the...
Unsupervised Signal Processing: Channel Equalization and Source Separation provides a unified, systematic, and synthetic presentation of the theory of unsupervised signal processing. Always maintaining the focus on a signal processing-oriented approach, this book describes how the subject has evolved and assumed a wider scope...
Sometimes the story of how something happened (or was created) is as interesting as the thing
itself. This is very true in the case of this book.
When Karen Leong, my co-director at Influence Solutions Pte Ltd, and I entered the Learning
and Development (L&D) arena, it did not take us long to realize that CHANGE and...
It was once assumed that mitochondrial diseases were rare and that few people were affected. As knowledge has grown about these organelles and their function, it became clear that mitochondrial malfunction could be linked to several chronic diseases. Diabetes has been associated with DNA mutation and can cause mutation itself. This text...
Infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with neoplastic disease because of compromised host defenses. These defects result in an increased risk of infection and its complications. The nature of the underlying malignancy, the immunodeficiencies associated with it, and the treatments directed against it are all...
South Asia's HIV epidemic is highly heterogeneous. As a result, informed, prioritized, and effective responses necessitate an understanding of the epidemic diversity between and within countries. Further spread of HIV in South Asia is preventable. The future size of South Asia's epidemic will depend on an effective two-pronged...
This book covers the molecular and cellular aspects of cancer metastasis, and discusses the clinical aspect of micro- and macro-metastases, which result in the death of the majority of patients with cancer. The current edition attempts to examine the current status of the basic scientific and clinical research in the area, and is a very...
Illnesses resulting from foodborne pathogens occur at least 6 million times each year and cause an estimated 9,000 deaths. For decades, food microbiologists have developed various effective methods of food protection. However, the constant development of multi-facet food processing technologies and the emergence of potent foodborne pathogens,...
