Serious Performance Consulting According to Rummler

ISPI, 2004

Praise for Serious Performance Consulting According to Rummler

"Before there was 'lean,' before there was TQM, before there was knowledge management, and before there were any one-minute cures, there was Geary Rummler preaching and practicing performance technology. With Serious...

Distributed Control of Robotic Networks: A Mathematical Approach to Motion Coordination Algorithms (Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics)

Princeton Press, 2009

This book covers its subject very thoroughly. The framework the authors have established is very elegant and, if it catches on, this book could be the primary reference for this approach. I don't know of any other book that covers this set of topics.

The Fifth Postulate: How Unraveling A Two Thousand Year Old Mystery Unraveled the Universe

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

What do Einstein's theory of relativity, string theory, and lots of other mind-bending—and space-bending—revelations of modern physics have in common? None of them could have been discovered until scientists and mathematicians recognized an uncomfortable truth—that there was a reason the world's greatest mathematical minds had...

Rare Event Simulation using Monte Carlo Methods

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In a probabilistic model, a rare event is an event with a very small probability of occurrence. The forecasting of rare events is a formidable task but is important in many areas. For instance a catastrophic failure in a transport system or in a nuclear power plant, the failure of an information processing system in a bank, or in the communication...

Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2003

An effective blend of carefully explained theory and practical applications, this text imparts the fundamentals of both information theory and data compression. Although the two topics are related, this unique text allows either topic to be presented independently, and it was specifically designed so that the data compression section requires...

Information Science Publishing, 2009

The Handbook of Research on Computational Forensics, Digital Crime, and Investigation: Methods and Solutions addresses a broad range of electronic devices and software for crime prevention and investigation. This defining body of research covers a wide spectrum of topics useful to a broad cross-sectional and multi-disciplinary...

Geometric Computing: for Wavelet Transforms, Robot Vision, Learning, Control and Action

Springer, 2010

Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2011

At least some people reading the title of this book may wonder why there should be one more book on the topic of Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). The short answer to this question is that in our teaching of the subject for over a decade, we have not been able to find a suitable textbook on this topic at our respective...

Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist, Second Edition: Effective Modeling in RDFS and OWL

Morgan Kaufmann, 2011

Since the first edition of Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist came out in June 2008, we have been encouraged by the reception the book has received. Practitioners from a wide variety of industries— health care, energy, environmental science, life sciences, national intelligence, and publishing, to name a few—have told...

$Transmission Electron Microscopy and Diffractometry of Materials$

Transmission Electron Microscopy and Diffractometry of Materials

Springer, 2009

Experimental methods for diffraction and microscopy are pushing the front edge of nanoscience and materials science, and important new developments are covered in this third edition. For transmission electron microscopy, a remarkable recent development has been a practical corrector for the spherical aberration of the objective...

Endocannabinoids: The Brain and Body's Marijuana and Beyond

CRC Press, 2005

Over the past decade, there have been major advances in understanding the mechanisms whereby marijuana interacts with the brain in producing psychoactive and potentially therapeutic effects. The discovery of specific gene coding for cannabinoid receptors activated by smoking marijuana, and the finding of endogenous cannabinoids, which...
