High Performance Computing on Vector Systems 2005: Proceedings of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, March 2005

Springer, 2006

In March 2005 about 40 scientists from Europe, Japan and the US came together the second time to discuss ways to achieve sustained performance on supercomputers in the range of Teraflops. The workshop held at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) was the second of this kind. The first one had been held in May 2004. At both...

Origins and Foundations of Computing: In Cooperation with Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum

Springer, 2009

The book examines how intellectual developments in logic and mathematics were gradually matched by technical solutions in first mechanics and then electronics, and how the resulting machines found application in engineering, science and business.

The author was among the pioneers of computing science, and he offers a personal and...

The Vascular Endothelium I (Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology) (v. 1)

Springer, 2006

It was with great pleasure that I accepted the invitation of Springer to edit this book.My association with the vascular endothelium covers a large part of my scientific career and, as with any good long-standing relationship, it has had moments of great excitement and periods of laborious construction. It has sometimes been...

Chembiomolecular Science: At the Frontier of Chemistry and Biology

Springer, 2012

At the forefront of life sciences today is the emerging discipline of chembiomolecular science. This new term describes the integration of the frontier fields of chemical biology, chemistry, and pharmacology. Chembiomolecular science aims to elucidate new biological mechanisms as potential drug targets and enhance the creation of new drug...

Polymers in Drug Delivery

CRC Press, 2006

Together, the nano explosion and the genomic revolution are ushering in a new frontier in drug delivery. In recent years we’ve seen how polymers can play a crucial role in controlling the rate of drug release, enhancing solubility and uptake, and limiting degradation and toxicity. In the very near future, they may well be used to...

Functional Foods and Biotechnology (Food Science and Technology)

CRC Press, 2006

World-wide there are more overweight and obese people (1 billion) than there are malnourished (0.8 billion). Today the challenge lies not just in meeting basic nutritional needs, but providing additional protective ingredients to help prevent the major chronic diseases associated with obesity. Biotechnology has become an important tool in...

Numerical Methods for Image Registration (Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation)

Oxford University Press, 2004

Based on the author's lecture notes and research, this well-illustrated and comprehensive text is one of the first to provide an introduction to image registration with particular emphasis on numerical methods in medical imaging. Ideal for researchers in industry and academia, it is also a suitable study guide for graduate mathematicians,...

Computer Science: Notable Research and Discoveries (Frontiers of Science)

Facts on File, 2010

No one is certain how much more powerful and possibly intelligent computers will become in the 21st century. Exploring six prominent topics in computer science research, this title describes how computer scientists conduct research and attempt to formulate answers to important questions. Research published in journals, presented at conferences,...

Grammatical Picture Generation: A Tree-Based Approach

Springer, 2006

This book introduces the reader to the notions, the techniques, and the theory of grammatical picture generation, a research field focusing on formal systems that describe sets of pictures by means of syntactic rules. The book presents important types of picture generators, using a tree-based approach to stress their common algorithmic basis, the...

Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Applications: Artificial Muscles and Sensors

Springer, 2007

Electroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers and scientists. An enabling EAP technology is emerging which attempts to imitate the properties of natural muscle and which, as a result, can perform a...
