The production of environmentally friendly, sustainable, chemical-free food continues to challenge the food industry, spurring on investigations into alternative food processing techniques that are more sophisticated and diverse than current practices. Exploring one of these emerging solutions, Ultraviolet Light in Food Technology:...
Barrie Jones addresses the question "are we alone?", which is one of the most frequently asked questions by scientists and non-scientists alike. In The Search for Life Continued, this question is addressed scientifically, and the author is not afraid to include speculation. Indeed, the author believes beyond reasonable...
The increasing use of computer technology in many areas of economic, scientific, and social life is resulting in large collections of digital data. The amount of data which is created on and stored in computers is growing from day to day. Electronic database facilities are common everywhere and can now be considered a standard technology....
This text is intended for a one-semester introductory course in computer
science. It presents a breadth-first overview of the discipline that assumes no
prior background in computer science, programming, or mathematics. It is
appropriate for use in a service course for students not majoring in computer
science. It is also appropriate...
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is the lingua franca in contemporary networked
environments. It is intended to support communication between software modules,
particularly on the Web, as well as communication between people involved in
developing new XML-based solutions. Developing the new solutions for a specifi c
domain or...
The 16th edition of the International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer
Imagery was held in Nancy, France, April 6–8, 2011, and was organized
by the ADAGIo team of the LORIA laboratory (Lorraine research center in
computer science and its applications). DGCI 2011 attracted many researchers
from all around the...
The development of the Internet and World Wide Web technology has motivated the introduction of new ways for distance learning and education.

It...
Pulling on a string will control a kite. How do you control your arms, legs, and other body parts? Do you think your body uses anything similar to kite strings?
Explore how body parts and body systems can work together, even when doing very simple tasks.
Volume IV continues the author's odyssey on l-D cellular automata as chronicled in Volumes I, II and III, by uncovering a novel quasi-ergodicity phenomenon involving orbits meandering among omega-limit orbits of complex (group 5) and hyper (group 6) Bernoulli rules. This discovery is embellished with analytical formulas characterizing the...
With multicore processors now in every computer, server, and embedded device, the need for cost-effective, reliable parallel software has never been greater. By explaining key aspects of multicore programming, Fundamentals of Multicore Software Development helps software engineers understand parallel programming and master...
This volume represents the proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Innovation, Communication and Engineering (ICICE 2013). This conference was organized by the China University of Petroleum (Huadong/East China) and the Taiwanese Institute of Knowledge Innovation, and was held in Qingdao, Shandong, P.R. China, October 26 - November...
MR technologies play an increasing role in different aspects of human-robot interactions. The visual combination of digital contents with real working spaces creates a simulated environment that is set out to enhance these aspects. This book presents and discusses fundamental scientific issues, technical implementations, lab testing, and...
