Everyday use of time in one form or another is a common experience for everyone throughout their lives. The availability of a means to measure the passage of time with the required accuracy is taken for granted. However, the concepts on which those time scales are based and the requirements for accuracy in many applications can be both...
Travel to exotic places is fascinating, and equally so are infections and other dangers of exotic travel. Moreover, one need not be traveling to suffer these maladies; sometimes they travel to you. The enormous global mobility demands a public health response. The result is the concept of ‘travel medicine’ as a separate...
Ignoring the big data hype and diving right into the value proposition, Big Data, Big Innovation takes a long, hard look at making sure that businesses don't stray off course when chasing innovation. It focuses on real-world goals, strategies...
This book is dedicated to the application of the different theoretical models described in Volume 1 to identify the near-, mid- and far-infrared spectra of linear and nonlinear triatomic molecules in gaseous phase or subjected to environmental constraints, useful for the study of environmental sciences, planetology and...
We think we know how to appreciate wine?trained connoisseurs take dainty sips in sterile rooms and provide ratings based on objective knowledge and technical expertise. In Epistenology, Nicola Perullo vigorously challenges this approach, arguing that it is the enjoyment of drinking wine as an active and participatory experience...

Digital 3D is a tricky area &emdash; and until the day someone makes 3D TV commercially viable, its going to remain a tricky area. What is 3D? Can you genuinely render 3D on a flat screen? Do you have to spend a years wages to get a dedicated piece of 3D software? Do you have to conjure up a bunch of complex math techniques to make the...
With more and more images and videos being available in the compressed
format, researchers have started taking interest in the aspect of designing
algorithms for different image operations directly in their domains of representation.
This would not only avoid the inverse and forward transformation
steps and potentially make the...
Measuring the spin distribution of supermassive black holes is of critical importance for understanding how these black holes and their host galaxies form and evolve over time, yet this type of study is only in its infancy. This brief describes how astronomers measure spin in supermassive black holes using X-ray...
The technological progress in multi-carrier (MC) modulation led orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to become an important part of beyond 3G cellular mobile communication standards, including LTE and WiMAX. In addition, the flexibility offered by the spread spectrum (SS) and time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques motivated...
