Explore the latest Python tools and techniques to help you tackle the world of data acquisition and analysis. You'll review scientific computing with NumPy, visualization with matplotlib, and machine learning with scikit-learn.
This revision is fully updated with new content on social media data analysis, image...
While the study of granular materials has an old and distinguished history, this
history has only recently included large numbers of physicists. What explains the
upsurge in the interest in the physics of granular materials over the past 15 years?
While this is perhaps a question best left to historians or sociologists of science,...
The idea for this book was formed during the doctorate of Bernd Iser. Bernd
Iser was working on efficient and robust bandwidth extension algorithms in
hands-free systems for Harman/Becker Automotive Systems. It turned out
that bandwidth extension of speech signals was a topic of appreciable interest,
where lots of scientific...
Cardiac pumping is dependent on cardiac perfusion. Hence, it is only natural that we address both cardiac perfusion and pumping in this book. We have gone one step further in also considering assisted perfusion by coronary bypass surgery and myocardial regeneration by means of stem cells transformed into implantable cardiomyocytes. The book...
The difference between a bad programmer and a good programmer is understanding.
That is, bad programmers don’t understand what they are doing, and good programmers
do. Believe it or not, it really is that simple.
This book exists to help all programmers understand software development on a very...
This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Special...
Professor A. R. Butz was the first (and so far the only) writer to treat the entire Holocaust complex from the Revisionist perspective, in a precise scientific manner. This book exhibits the overwhelming force of historical and logical arguments which Revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 70s. This new edition comes with several...
gnuplot is a free, open source plotting program that has been in wide use since 1986.
It's used as the graphics backend by many other programs, so plenty of people use gnuplot
without knowing it. If you've used Octave, Maxima, statist, gretl, or the Emacs graphing
calculator, you've already used gnuplot.
One exciting aspect of software programming is that there are usually many ways
to accomplish the same goal. Unfortunately, this also presents software engineers
with unique challenges when trying to make the best design or implementation choice
for each situation. Experience plays a major role, and the learning...
At last researchers have an inexpensive library of Java-based numeric procedures for use in scientific computation. The first and only book of its kind, A Numeric Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers is a translation into Java of the library NUMAL (NUMerical procedures in ALgol 60).
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...
From June 12-16, 2006 over eighty scientists from around the world gathered in
Rhodes, Greece to attend the conference “20 Years of Nonlinear Dynamics in
Geosciences”. The editors of this book organized the conference. It was sponsored
by Aegean Conferences and was endorsed by the American Meteorological Society
and...
