Ambient Findability

O'Reilly, 2005

How do you find your way in an age of information overload? How can you filter streams of complex information to pull out only what you want? Why does it matter how information is structured when Google seems to magically bring up the right answer to your questions? What does it mean to be "findable" in this day and...

Ten Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet!): A Guide to Science's Greatest Mysteries

Palgrave Macmillan, 2007

From the author of the bestselling The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes another incredible trip to an even more mysterious terrain. Michael Hanlon identifies ten scientific questions that we simply can't seem to answer and explains why these compelling mysteries will remain unsolved for...

Derived Langlands: Monomial Resolutions of Admissible Representations (Series on Number Theory and Its Applications)

World Scientific Publishing, 2019

The Langlands Programme is one of the most important areas in modern pure mathematics. The importance of this volume lies in its potential to recast many aspects of the programme in an entirely new context. For example, the morphisms in the monomial category of a locally p–adic Lie group have a distributional description, due...

Quantum Cryptography and Secret-Key Distillation

Cambridge University Press, 2006

This book aims at giving an introduction to the principles and techniques of quantum cryptography, including secret-key distillation, as well as some more advanced topics. As quantum cryptography is now becoming a practical reality with products available commercially, it is important to focus not only on the theory of quantum...

Crowd Simulation

Springer, 2007

There has been a growing interest in crowd simulation particularly in the commercial sector where it is used in security, defence, entertainment and the movie industry. This field is now reaching maturity and there is a need for a book that focuses entirely on methods and techniques for crowd simulation, this book fills that gap.

The topics...

Visions Of Mind: Architectures For Cognition And Affect

Information Science Publishing, 2005

"What is mind?" "Can we build synthetic or artificial minds?" Think these questions are only reserved for Science Fiction? Well, not anymore. This collection presents a diverse overview of where the development of artificial minds is as the twenty first century begins. Examined from nearly all viewpoints, Visions of Mind...

Animation and Performance Capture Using Digitized Models (Cognitive Systems Monographs)

Springer, 2009

The realistic generation of virtual doubles of real-world actors has been the focus of computer graphics research for many years. However, some problems still remain unsolved: it is still time-consuming to generate character animations using the traditional skeleton-based pipeline, passive performance capture of human actors wearing arbitrary...

UWB Communication Systems: A Comprehensive Overview (EURASIP Book Series on Signal Processing and Communications)

Hindawi Publishing, 2006

Ultrawideband (UWB) communication systems offer an unprecedented opportunity to impact the future communication world. The enormous available bandwidth, the wide scope of the data rate / range trade-off, as well as the potential for very low-cost operation leading to pervasive usage, all present a unique opportunity for UWB systems to impact the...

How to Listen to Modern Music: Without Earplugs

Sound And Vision, 1999

The story goes that the legendary English conductor Sir Thomas Beecham was asked if he had conducted any music by Stockhausen. The reply came, "No, but I once trod in some."

Like all genuinely serious subjects, modern music is ripe for humour. Musicians everywhere have stories to tell about the strange and bizzare things...

Detection of Trapped Antihydrogen (Springer Theses)

Springer, 2012

In 2010, the ALPHA collaboration achieved a first for mankind: the stable, long-term storage of atomic antimatter, a project carried out a the Antiproton Decelerator facility at CERN. A crucial element of this observation was a dedicated silicon vertexing detector used to identify and analyze antihydrogen annihilations. This thesis reports...

Algorithmic Information Theory: Mathematics of Digital Information Processing (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2006

This book deals with information processing; so it is far from being a book on information theory (which would be built on description and estimation). The reader will be shown the horse, but not the saddle. At any rate, at the very beginning, there was a series of lectures on “Information theory, through the looking-glass of an...

Architecture of Italy (Reference Guides to National Architecture)

Greenwood Press, 2008

Covering all regions of Italy--from Turin's Palace of Labor in northern Italy to the Monreale Cathedral and Cloister in Sicily--and all periods of Italian architecture--from the first-century Colosseum in Rome to the Casa Rustica apartments built in Milan in the 1930s--this volume examines over 70 of Italy's most important architectural landmarks....
