Dr Donald Bailey starts with introductory material considering the problem of embedded image processing, and how some of the issues may be solved using parallel hardware solutions. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are introduced as a technology that provides flexible, fine-grained hardware that can readily exploit parallelism within...
You've read everything you can find about middleware, CORBA, transaction
monitors, message brokers, enterprise JavaBeans, and other distributed
technologies. Now it's time to put them to work. Time to build
your company's first multi-tiered application. But where do you start?
How do you structure the programs? How...
This book provides an accelerated introduction to Maple for scientific programmers who already have experience in other computer languages (such as C, Pascal, or FORTRAN). It gives an overview of the most commonly used constructs and an elementary introduction to Maple programming. The new edition is substantially updated throughout. In...
The International Ash Working Group (IAWG) was established in 1989 to conduct an
in-depth review of the existing scientific data and develop a state-of-knowledge treatise
on MSW incinerator residue characterisation, disposal, treatment and utilisation. The
topics of operator and worker health and safety, and health risk assessment...
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at problem solving research and practice over the last fifteen years. The first chapter describes differences in types of problems, individual differences among problem-solvers, as well as the domain and context within which a problem is being solved. Part one describes six kinds...
Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design, Second Edition covers the analysis and design of nonlinear analog integrated circuits that form the basis of present-day communication systems. Both bipolar and MOS transistor circuits are analyzed and several numerical examples are used to illustrate the...
Business Calculus Demystified clarifies the concepts and processes of calculus and demonstrates their applications to the workplace. Best-selling math author Rhonda Huettenmueller uses the same combination of winning step-by-step teaching techniques and real-world business and...
In revising the second edition, the strengths of the prior editions were retained while reflecting the changes
in the study of trigonometry during the last ten years. This edition deletes the use of logarithms entirely,
increases the use of calculators, and changes from the column form of working identity problems to the
horizontal...
Glucose is an essential energy source for the adult human brain. When
blood glucose levels fall by half from a normal fasting value (to about
2–3 mM), there is some cognitive impairment and, at glucose levels below
1 mM, mental confusion is evident and coma may result from sustained glucose
deprivation. Recent studies...
The field of DNA repair has been the subject of increasing interest at both the
genetic and biochemical levels, leading to impressive progress in this area. DNA
repair and its associated regulatory mechanisms lie at the heart of almost every
fundamental aspect of cell biology, including transcription, cell cycle, apoptosis,
and...
This extensively updated and expanded second edition reflects new research, advances in clinical care, and the growing recognition that diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Written for the practicing clinician as a comprehensive review of diabetic vascular disease, the book both explains the basic pathophysiology of...
