The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a modern presentation of ionic solutions at interfaces, for physical chemists, chemists and theoretically oriented experimentalists in this field. The discussion is mainly on the structural and thermodynamic properties, in relation to presently available statistical mechanical models. Some...
This textbook is ideal for an undergraduate introduction to probability, with a calculus prerequisite. It is based on a course that the author has taught many times at Berkeley. The text's overall style is informal, but all results are stated precisely, and most are proved. Understanding is developed through intuitive explanations and...
A large international conference on Advances in Communication Technologies and
Engineering Science was held in Hong Kong, March 19–21, 2008, under the International
MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists (IMECS 2008). The
IMECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG).
IAENG is...
The purpose of this text is to assist one in learning how to program in Intel assembly
language in a minimal amount of time. In addition, through programming the reader learns
more about the computer architecture of the Intel 32-bit processor and also the relationship
between high-level languages and low-level languages.
This book provides an accelerated introduction to Maple for scientific programmers who already have experience in other computer languages (such as C, Pascal, or FORTRAN). It gives an overview of the most commonly used constructs and an elementary introduction to Maple programming. The new edition is substantially updated throughout. In...
The aim of this volume is to offer a balanced overview of molecular Rydberg spectroscopy as it has developed over recent decades. Recent evolution has split Rydberg spectroscopy into two apparently distinct fields: the one concerns the low (n=3-5) Rydberg states, the other the very high (typically n>150) Rydberg states. The former is aimed...
This volume contains the papers and poster abstracts presented at the 25th NATO/CCMS International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and Its Application held in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, during 15-19 October 2001. This ITM was jointly organized by the University of Aveiro, Portugal (Pilot country) and by the Catholic University of...
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures represent a group of nanomaterials with highly anisotropic morphologies, the smallest dimension falling in the range of 1–100 nm. Typical examples of 1D nanostructures include nanowires and nanotubes. Semiconductor nanowires are characterized by the efficient transport of electrons and excitons, and...
Robotic welding systems have been used in different types of manufacturing. They can
provide several benefits in welding applications. The most prominent advantages of
robotic welding are precision and productivity. Another benefit is that labor costs can be
reduced. Robotic welding also reduces risk by moving the human...
The field of digital computer architecture has grown explosively in the past two decades.
Through a steady stream of experimental research, tool-building efforts, and theoretical
studies, the design of an instruction-set architecture, once considered an art, has been
transformed into one of the most quantitative branches of...
This highly anticipated new edition provides a comprehensive account of face recognition research and technology, spanning the full range of topics needed for designing operational face recognition systems. After a thorough introductory chapter, each of the following chapters focus on a specific topic, reviewing background information,...
The importance of controlling pedestrian flow especially during emergencies
is being understood by researchers to be a very important
research area. Currently, the use of static emergency routes is not
efficient, since during emergencies, the preferred routes might be congested,
or worse yet might not even exist. Hence, it is...
