How to Make Maps: An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

Routledge, 2020

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive, design, and produce maps in a legible, clear, and coherent manner, drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography.

This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who...

Computer Science and Educational Software Design: A Resource for Multidisciplinary Work in Technology Enhanced Learning

Springer, 2011

Developing educational software requires thinking, problematizing, representing, modeling, implementing and analyzing pedagogical objectives and issues, as well as conceptual models and software architectures. Computer scientists face the difficulty of understanding the particular issues and phenomena to be taken into account in...

Applications of Data Mining in E-Business and Finance (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications)

IOS Press, 2008

The application of Data Mining (DM) technologies has shown an explosive growth in an increasing number of different areas of business, government and science. Two of the most important business areas are finance, in particular in banks and insurance companies, and e-business, such as web portals, e-commerce and ad management services.In...

Real-Time Stability Assessment in Modern Power System Control Centers

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

This book answers the need for a practical, hands-on guide for assessing power stability in real time, rather than in offline simulations. Since the book is primarily geared toward the practical aspects of the subject, theoretical background is reduced to the strictest minimum. For the benefit of readers who may not be quite familiar with the...

Advanced Polymeric Systems: Applications in Nanostructured Materials, Composites and Biomedical Fields (River Publishers Series in Polymer Science)

River Publishers, 2021

Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the incorporation of various macro, micro, and nano sized fillers into polymers. There is also much interest in the evaluation of various polymer properties with respect to a wide set of applications. The advances in nanotechnology...

Simulation-Based Algorithms for Markov Decision Processes (Communications and Control Engineering)

Springer, 2013

Markov decision process (MDP) models are widely used for modeling sequential decision-making problems that arise in engineering, economics, computer science, and the social sciences. Many real-world problems modeled by MDPs have huge state and/or action spaces, giving an opening to the curse of dimensionality and so making practical...

Your fun and friendly guide to communicating in Russian

Whether you're a student, a traveler, or a businessperson, or if you just want to speak basic Russian, you'll find this book packed with practical lessons...

Applications and Challenges of Geospatial Technology: Potential and Future Trends

Springer, 2018

This book advances the scientific understanding and application of space-based technologies to address a variety of areas related to sustainable development; including environmental systems analysis, environmental management, clean processes, green chemistry, and green engineering. Geo-spatial techniques have gained considerable interest in...

Metaheuristic Optimization: Nature-Inspired Algorithms Swarm and Computational Intelligence, Theory and Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 927)

Springer, 2020

This book exemplifies how algorithms are developed by mimicking nature. Classical techniques for solving day-to-day problems is time-consuming and cannot address complex problems. Metaheuristic algorithms are nature-inspired optimization techniques for solving real-life complex problems. This book emphasizes the social behaviour of insects,...

Colon and Rectal Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide for Patients & Families (Patient Centered Guides)

Patient Centered Guides, 1999

The fourth most common cancer, colon and rectal cancer is diagnosed in 130,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. As with many other cancers, the treatment environment is evolving. As a patient (or the family researcher) you need up-to-date and in-depth information to participate wisely in treatment decisions.Colon & Rectal...

Reaction-Diffusion Automata: Phenomenology, Localisations, Computation (Emergence, Complexity and Computation)

Springer, 2012

Reaction-diffusion and excitable media are amongst most intriguing substrates. Despite apparent simplicity of the physical processes involved the media exhibit a wide range of amazing patterns: from target and spiral waves to travelling localisations and stationary breathing patterns. These media are at the heart of most natural processes,...
