Carbon Materials for Advanced Technologies

Elsevier Limited, 1999

Hardbound. The inspiration for this book came from an American Carbon Society Workshop entitled "Carbon Materials for Advanced Technologies" which was hosted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1994. Chapter 1 contains a review of carbon materials, and emphasizes the structure and chemical bonding in the various forms of carbon,...

Hitting the Wall: A Vision of a Secure Energy Future (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Hitting the Wall examines the combination of two intractable energy problems of our age: the peaking of global oil production and the overloading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Both emerge from the overconsumption of fossil fuels and solving one problem helps solve the other. The misinformation campaign about climate change is discussed...

Narrowband Direction of Arrival Estimation for Antenna Arrays (Synthesis Lectures on Antennas)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book provides an introduction to narrowband array signal processing, classical and subspace-based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation with an extensive discussion on adaptive direction of arrival algorithms. The book begins with a presentation of the basic theory, equations, and data models of narrowband arrays. It then discusses basic...

Engineering and Social Justice (Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In recent years, some leaders in the engineering community in the United States and other countries have been seeking to cast engineering as a profession in service to humanity. This characterization is often propelled by “the problem” of an overall dearth of students entering engineering and a specific concern about underrepresentation...

Security Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures

Springer, 2008

While their basic principles and ideas are well understood and cogent from a conceptual perspective, the realization of interorganizational workflows and applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOAs) remains a complex task, and, especially when it comes to security, the implementation is still bound to low-level technical knowledge...

Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, & Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

The sequel to the popular lecture book entitled Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking, this book on Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation tackles the challenging task of segmenting biological and medical images. The problem of partitioning multidimensional biomedical data into meaningful regions is perhaps the main roadblock in the automation of...

DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems

Springer, 2004

DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems is focused on digital signal processing strategies for improving information access, command and control, and communications for in-vehicle environments. It is expected that the next generation of human-to-vehicle interfaces will incorporate speech, video/image, and wireless communication modalities to provide...

The Evolution of Hominin Diets: Integrating Approaches to the Study of Palaeolithic Subsistence

Springer, 2009

This volume brings together new and important research from the top experts in hominid diets across multiple fields. The objective of the volume is to explore if there is a consensus between the different methods, allowing us to better understand the nature of hominin dietary strategies through time. Contributions focus on modern studies, faunal...

Polymer Characterization: Laboratory Techniques and Analysis

William Andrew Publishing, 1997

An overview of polymer characterization test methods

This volume provides an overview of polymer characterization test methods. The methods and instrumentation described represent modern analytical techniques useful to researchers, product development specialists, and quality control experts in polymer synthesis and...

Virtual Crowds: Methods, Simulation, and Control (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics and Animation)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

There are many applications of computer animation and simulation where it is necessary to model virtual crowds of autonomous agents. Some of these applications include site planning, education, entertainment, training, and human factors analysis for building evacuation. Other applications include simulations of scenarios where masses of people...

Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has been a central research problem in information retrieval for several...

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...
