Design, configure, and manage MPLS TE to optimize network performance.
Almost every busy network backbone has some congested links while others remain underutilized. That's because shortest-path routing protocols send traffic down the path that is shortest without considering other network parameters,...
The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a concise introduction to the use of spread spectrum waveforms in multiple user systems, often termed code division multiple access or CDMA. The book has been an outgrowth of course notes presented in a graduatelevel course on spread spectrum communications. This book should provide...
Data mining consists of attempting to discover novel and useful knowledge from data, trying to find patterns among datasets that can help in intelligent decision making. However, reports of real-world case studies are not generally detailed in the literature, due to the fact that they are usually based on proprietary datasets, making it impossible...
A new approach to understanding nonlinear dynamics and strange attractors
The behavior of a physical system may appear irregular or chaotic even when it is completely deterministic and predictable for short periods of time into the future. How does one model the dynamics of a system operating in a chaotic regime? Older tools such...
Consult RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and Wireless Data Systems, the only source for practical, real-world information on radio frequency (RF) measurements for cellular phones and wireless data systems. Find a review of basic RF principles and terminology, descriptions of RF measurement equipment, an explanation of the RF devices...
In this second edition of the Handbook of Eating Disorders every chapter has been rewritten. This was necessary to reflect not only the many advances in knowledge and understanding of eating disorders, but also the advances in communication between clinical and academic branches, and between countries. The second edition embraces this...
Because of developments in powerful computer technology, computational techniques, advances in a wide spectrum of diverse technologies, and other advances coupled with cross disciplinary pursuits between technology and its greatly significant applied implications in human body processes, the field of biomechanics is evolving as a broadly...
THE ULTIMATE SOURCEBOOK FOR UNDERSTANDING THE SKIN AND ITS APPEARANCE
“A concise, well-written, and well-illustrated overview of the topic of cosmetic dermatology that will prove useful to all physicians who care for cosmetic patients.”—Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, reviewing the first...
This thesis describes the application of state-of-the-art high-energy X-ray studies to the astronomical quest for understanding obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). These AGN are supermassive black holes growing by accretion of matter located in the nuclei of galaxies. The material that feeds these black holes also obscures them from...
Mathematical Methods and Algorithms for Signal Processing tackles the challenge of providing readers and practitioners with the broad tools of mathematics employed in modern signal processing. Building from an assumed background in signals and stochastic processes, the book provides a solid foundation in analysis, linear...
This book presents a unique annotated collection of some 2000 playground games, rhymes, and wordplay of London children. It charts continuity and development in childlore at a time of major social and cultural change and offers a detailed snapshot of changes in the traditions and language of young people. Topics include: starting a game;...
"An outstanding book for the novice that should be on the desk of every industry professional as well. Written in a style that is never boring, it covers the vast technological landscape from standards and protocols to premise, access and transport technologies, managing to entertain every step of the way." Kenneth R. Sato
