Reference and Computation: An Essay in Applied Philosophy of Language (Studies in Natural Language Processing)

Cambridge University Press, 1990

This book deals with a major problem in the study of language: the problem of reference. The ease with which we refer to things in conversation is deceptive. Upon closer scrutiny, it turns out that we hardly ever tell each other explicitly what object we mean, although we expect our interlocutor to discern it. Amichai Kronfeld provides an answer...

Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency III

Springer, 2009

These Transactions publish archival papers in the broad area of Petri nets and other models of concurrency, ranging from theoretical work to tool support and industrial applications. ToPNoC issues are published as LNCS volumes, and hence are widely distributed and indexed. This Journal has its own Editorial Board which selects papers based on a...

miRNA Regulation of the Translational Machinery (Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology)

Springer, 2009

The silencing of gene expression by small interfering RNAs has been recognized for only a relatively short time, but this has transformed our understanding of both transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms. Multiple pathways culminate in formation of an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) containing a member of the...

Imaging Dopamine

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Since its discovery 50 years ago, brain dopamine has been implicated in the control of movement and cognition, and is concerned with diverse brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and drug addiction. This book is an illustrated biography of the dopamine molecule, from its synthesis in the brain to its signalling mechanisms and...

Keyword Search in Databases (Synthesis Lectures on Data Management)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

It has become highly desirable to provide flexible ways for users to query/search information by integrating database (DB) and information retrieval (IR) techniques in the same platform. On one hand, the sophisticated DB facilities provided by a database management system assist users to query well-structured information using a query language...

Collaborative Search: Designing Systems for a Spectrum of Collaborative Styles (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2009

Web search has become one of the prominent information behaviors of the new millennium (Fallows, D., 2008). Web search refers not only to the process of entering keywords into a search engine site, but it also includes a related ecology of online information-seeking activities, such as browsing to specific URLs, making sense of found content,...

Apoptosome: An up-and-coming therapeutical tool

Springer, 2009

"Apoptosome" is the first book that presents a concise synthesis of recent developments in the understanding of how the activation of the cell death cascade is handled by a cytosolic signalling platform known as the apoptosome.

The book also discusses how insights into the regulation of apoptosome may be exploited for designing...

VLSI Design for Video Coding: H.264/AVC Encoding from Standard Specification to Chip

Springer, 2009

High definition video requires substantial compression in order to be transmitted or stored economically. Advances in video coding standards from MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 to H.264/AVC have provided ever increasing coding efficiency, at the expense of great computational complexity which can only be delivered through massively parallel...

Introduction to Reconfigurable Supercomputing (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

This book covers technologies, applications, tools, languages, procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of reconfigurable supercomputing using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The target audience is the community of users of High Performance Computers (HPC) who may benefit from porting their applications into a reconfigurable...

Computer Science Experiments (Facts on File Science Experiments)

Facts on File, 2009

Computers are more prevalent in our daily lives than ever before, yet many people are unfamiliar with the concepts and technology of computer science. Offering 20 engaging experiments and activities based on computer research, "Computer Science Experiments" aims to expand students' learning experiences in this field by covering key...

Model-Based Design for Embedded Systems (Computational Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Dynamic Systems)

CRC Press, 2009

The demands of increasingly complex embedded systems and associated performance computations have resulted in the development of heterogeneous computing architectures that often integrate several types of processors, analog and digital electronic components, and mechanical and optical components—all on a single chip. As a result, now the...

Immunology and Evolution of Infectious Disease

Princeton Press, 2002

From HIV to influenza, the battle between infectious agents and the immune system is at the heart of disease. Knowledge of how and why parasites vary to escape recognition by the immune system is central to vaccine design, the control of epidemics, and our fundamental understanding of parasite ecology and evolution. As the first comprehensive...
