The continuing explosive growth in mobile communication is demanding more spectrally
efficient radio access technologies than the prevalent second generation (2G) systems such as
GSM to handle just the voice traffic. We are already witnessing high levels of mobile
penetration exceeding 70% in some countries. It is anticipated that by...
The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure, properties and mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic...
Advances in Quantitative Analysis of Finance and Accounting is an annual publication designed to disseminate developments in the quantitative analysis of finance and accounting. The publication is a forum for statistical and quantitative analyses of issues in finance and accounting, as well as applications of quantitative methods to problems in...
Although this book follows the layout of a programming book, the
underlying theme is financial modeling and quantitative trading
system development. In a sense, this book really marries four
disciplines—computer science, quantitative finance, trading strategy,
and quality development—into one, financial engineering....
HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML's put on some major muscle. Now we've got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language you've got to go beyond HTML5 markup...

They range in size from the largest...
Humans receive the great majority of information about their environment through
sight, and at least 50% of the human brain is dedicated to vision. Vision is also a key
component for building artificial systems that can perceive and understand their environment.
Computer vision is likely to change society in many ways; for example,
it...
For hundreds of years, the field of game design has drifted along under the radar of culture, producing
timeless masterpieces and masterful time-wasters without drawing much attention to itself-without, in fact,
behaving like a "field" at all. Suddenly, powered by the big bang of computer technology, game design has...
