Digital Imaging for Cultural Heritage Preservation: Analysis, Restoration, and Reconstruction of Ancient Artworks

CRC Press, 2011

Paintings, frescoes, antique photographic prints, incunabula, old books, handwritten documents, sculptures, ceramic fragments, and other ancient manufacts constitute the elements of an extremely valuable and immense historical patrimony. The digitalization of these treasures opens up the possibility of using image processing and...

Microsensors, MEMS and Smart Devices

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

Microsensors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) are revolutionising the semiconductor industry. A microsystem or the so-called "system-on-a-chip" combines microelectronic circuitry with microsensors and microactuators. This emergent field has seen the development of applications ranging from the electronic nose and...

Smallholder Tree Growing for Rural Development and Environmental Services: Lessons from Asia (Advances in Agroforestry)

Springer, 2008

Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20^th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use has received relatively little attention from the scientific and...

Nanoscale Materials

Springer, 2003

The unique electronic and chemical properties of nanoparticles have drawn the attention of chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers who wish to use them for the development of next generation nanodevices. Organized nanoassemblies of inorganic nanoparticles and organic molecules are building blocks of nanodevices, whether they...

Pharmacoethics: A Problem-Based Approach (Plant Engineering Series)

CRC Press, 2003

About 20 years ago, the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (SOM) established a student-centered problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum emphasizing ambulatory care practice competencies. It was designed for small groups of students working together and ran parallel with their more traditional curriculum. The SOM...

Evolutionary Algorithms in Molecular Design (Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry)

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Nature has solved its most complicated problem, the creation, variation, and improvement of living organisms, in a simple and efficient manner. Starting from primitive forms in earth history, mutation and crossover produced variations that had to struggle for their existence and to compete with their ancestors and genetically...

Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes

CRC Press, 2003

Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting effects is not new, being raised by Allen and Doisy in 1924, again by Dodds et al. in 1938, and in the 1950s by Burlington and Lindeman, the issue has seen a growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of...

Environmental Instrumentation and Analysis Handbook

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

It has been two decades since environmental science, environmental engineering, and environmental consulting took root as major disciplines and professions throughout the developed world. The learning curve has been steep as it relates to the previously unrecognized physics of contaminant transport. Today those principles are...

Grid Computing: International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC 2007)

Springer, 2008

ISGC (International Symposium on Grid Computing) is one of the most important annual events in Asia that brings together scientists and engineers worldwide to exchange ideas, to present on challenges, solutions and future development in the field of Grid Computing. The objective of this Symposium is to facilitate the information...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: Principles and Applications

Elsevier Limited, 2001

The history of Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD for short,, started in the early 1970’s. Around that time, it became an acronym for a combination of physics, numerical mathematics, and, to some extent, computer sciences employed to simulate fluid flows. The beginning of CFD was triggered by the availability of...
