Practical Object-oriented Design with UML

McGraw-Hill, 2000

This book is a revised edition of my earlier book Practical Object-Oriented Design. It shares the same aims as the earlier book, namely to provide a practical introduction to design which will be of use to people with experience of programming who want to learn how to express the design of object-oriented programs more abstractly.

Mobile Robot Navigation with Intelligent Infrared Image Interpretation

Springer, 2009

Mobile robots require the ability to make decisions such as "go through the hedges" or "go around the brick wall." Mobile Robot Navigation with Intelligent Infrared Image Interpretation describes in detail an alternative to GPS navigation: a physics-based adaptive Bayesian pattern classification model that uses a...

The k p Method: Electronic Properties of Semiconductors

Springer, 2009

This book presents a detailed exposition of the formalism and application of k.p theory for both bulk and nanostructured semiconductors. For bulk crystals, this is the first time all the major techniques for deriving the most popular Hamiltonians have been provided in one place. For nanostructures, this is the first time the Burt-Foreman theory...

Organizational Assessment and Improvement in the Public Sector

CRC Press, 2009

Calls for performance measures and metrics sound good, but public sector organizations often lack the tools required to assess the organization as a whole and create true change.In order to implement an integrated cycle of assessment, planning, and improvement, government agencies at all levels need a usable framework for organizational...

Bond Graph Methodology: Development and Analysis of Multidisciplinary Dynamic System Models

Springer, 2010

Nowadays, engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex and, for design purposes, must be considered as multidisciplinary systems made up of components from different engineering disciplines. With regard to the systematic development and the analysis of models, interdisciplinary methodologies supported by software become more and more...

Under Control: Governance Across the Enterprise

Apress, 2009

With the economic crisis that began in 2008, a long-standing trend toward increased regulation is becoming a flood. The clamor for improved enterprise risk management and the complexity of multinational compliance present executives with a dramatically new array of challenges.

Governance should offer solutions, but it is clear that...

Adjudicating Climate Change: State, National, and International Approaches

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The world’s political process has been slow to react to the serious, and potentially catastrophic, consequences for life on our planet that flow from the burning of fossil fuel. In one sense, this is understandable: turning around the global energy base is not a simple task. In another sense, it is inexcusable: a myopic failure to act in the...

Chemistry for Pharmacy Students: General, Organic and Natural Product Chemistry

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

"This book has succeeded in covering the basic chemistry essentials required by the pharmaceutical science student… the undergraduate reader, be they chemist, biologist or pharmacist will find this an interesting and valuable read." –Journal of Chemical Biology, May 2009

Fluorine in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

The extraordinary potential of fluorine-containing molecules in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology has been recognized by researchers outside of the traditional fluorine chemistry field, and thus a new wave of fluorine chemistry is rapidly expanding its biomedical frontiers. With several of the best selling drugs in the world crucially...

Spying Blind: The CIA, the FBI, and the Origins of 9/11

Princeton Press, 2007

In this pathbreaking book, Amy Zegart provides the first scholarly examination of the intelligence failures that preceded September 11. Until now, those failures have been attributed largely to individual mistakes. But Zegart shows how and why the intelligence system itself left us vulnerable.

Zegart argues that after the Cold War...

Designing Steel Structures for Fire Safety

CRC Press, 2009

Structural design in fire conditions is conceptually similar to structural design in normal temperature conditions, but often more difficult because of internal forces induced by thermal expansion, strength reduction due to elevated temperatures, much larger deflections, and numerous other factors. Before making any design decisions it is...
