Device Applications of Silicon Nanocrystals and Nanostructures (Nanostructure Science and Technology)

Springer, 2008

Recent developments in the technology of silicon nanocrystals and silicon nanostructures, where quantum-size effects are important, are systematically described including examples of device applications. Due to the strong quantum confinement effect, the material properties are freed from the usual indirect- or direct-bandgap regime, and the...

Computational Intelligence: An Introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Can computers be intelligent?

This question causes even more debate than the definitions of intelligence do.

Computational intelligence is the study of adaptive mechanisms to enable or facilitate intelligent behaviour in complex and changing environments. As such, computational intelligence encompasses artificial neural networks,...

A Concise and Practical Introduction to Programming Algorithms in Java (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2009

A Concise and Practical Introduction to Programming Algorithms in Java has two main goals. The first is for novice programmers to learn progressively the basic concepts underlying most imperative programming languages using Java. The second goal is to introduce new programmers to the very basic principles of thinking the algorithmic way and turning...

Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse: The Quest for the Quantum Computer

Simon & Schuster, 2000

Just how smart can computers get? Science journalist Julian Brown takes a hard look at the spooky world of quantum computation in Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse--and his report is optimistic. Based in large part on the groundbreaking work of David Deutsch, the book mostly sidesteps the shouting matches of the AI debate and...

The IDA Pro Book: The Unofficial Guide to the World's Most Popular Disassembler

No Starch Press, 2008

No source code? No problem. With IDA Pro, you live in a source code-optional world. IDA can automatically analyze the millions of opcodes that make up an executable and present you with a disassembly. But at that point, your work is just beginning. With The IDA Pro Book, you'll learn how to turn that mountain of mnemonics into...

Elsevier Limited, 2000

Hardbound. This book is dedicated to the rapidly growing field of microporous ceramic membranes with separating layers of pore diameter less than 2nm. The chapters of this book bring forward a wide range of issues, namely fundamentals of complex sorption and transport processes in micropore structures, highly innovative methods of preparation of...

Real Astronomy with Small Telescopes: Step-by-Step Activities for Discovery (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)

Springer, 2006

From the reviews:

"The dozens of projects collected here are a combination of observations suitable for current research (such as classifying sun-spots or monitoring binary stars) and recreating classic experiments (such as determining the speed of light by timing Jupiter’s moons). … Besides ample nuggets for science projects,...

In this text you will explore how information systems are used in business, and, more importantly, how the role of information systems has grown as a result of the telecommunications revolution.

About the Author

Dr. Patrick McKeown has been at the University of Georgia since 1976. He received his...

Chances Are: Adventures in Probability

Viking Adult, 2006

A layman’s journey into the realm of probability—from poker to politics, weather to war, Monte Carlo to mortality

We search for certainty, but find only likelihood. All things are possible, only one thing actually happens; everything else is in the realm of probability. The twin disciplines of...

Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry: Nonlinear Ion Transport and Fundamentals of FAIMS

CRC Press, 2008

quote for flyer only

… FAIMS is the first of many possible techniques based on nonlinear ion motion, and others should emerge as nonlinear IMS science matures and the progress of electronics and miniaturization of hardware enable faster and more elaborate manipulation of electric fields in time and space. … ...

Open Source Approaches in Spatial Data Handling (Advances in Geographic Information Science)

Springer, 2008

During the last several years there has been a significant coalescence of interest in Open Source Geospatial (OSG) or, as it is also known and referred to in this book, Free and Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G) software technology. This interest has served to fan embers from pre-existing FOSS4G efforts, that were focused on both standalone...
