Progress in photosynthesis research is strongly dependent on instrumentation. It is therefore not surprising
that the impressive advances that have been made in recent decades are paralleled by equally
impressive advances in sensitivity and sophistication of physical equipment and methods. This trend
started already shortly after...
Nginx is a lightweight HTTP server designed for high-traffic websites, with network scalability as the primary objective. With the advent of high speed Internet access, short loading times and fast transfer rates have become a necessity. This free, open source solution will either come as a full replacement of other software such as Apache,...
The automotive industry faces many challenges, including increased global competition, the need for higher-performance vehicles, a reduction in costs and tighter environmental and safety requirements. The materials used in automotive engineering play key roles in overcoming these issues: ultimately lighter materials mean lighter vehicles and...
Aspen Plus is on of the most popular process simulation software programs used industrially and academically. Though the software is available at many corporations and universities, there are no textbooks which are dedicated to teaching the step-by-step use of the software. This book is designed to fill that need. The structure of the book is...
Database design involves how to best structure the tables and queries that are used with databases in order to provide optimum performance, storage, manageability, and flexibility. With relational databases, you can use those tables to organize your data and retrieve information from your database. This book provides you with an easy-to-understand...

Product management is challenging, complex, and often misunderstood. Across the high-tech industry, drastically different duties and responsibilities are attributed to product management professionals. Diverse interpretations regarding the role of product management have only further confused practitioners and stifled the ability to...
The convergence of computing and communication has produced a society that feeds
on information. Yet most of the information is in its raw form: data. If data is characterized
as recorded facts, then information is the set of patterns, or expectations,
that underlie the data. There is a huge amount of information locked up in...
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...
"Fixed-Point Algorithms for Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering" presents some of the most recent work from top-notch researchers studying projection and other first-order fixed-point algorithms in several areas of mathematics and the applied sciences. The material presented provides a survey of the state-of-the-art...
The world's mid-ocean ridges form a single, connected global ridge system that is part of every ocean, and is the longest mountain range in the world. Geologically active, mid-ocean ridges are key sites of tectonic movement, intimately involved in seafloor spreading. This coursebook presents a multidisciplinary approach to the science of...
