Real time 3D games have been around for well over ten years now. We’ve played them, created assets in
the style of our favorites, and maybe even “mod”ed a few of them. But until recently, the cost of licensing
one of the premier game engines has ranged from several hundred thousand to several million dollars
per title...
This volume contains a collection of studies in the areas of complexity theory and
foundations of cryptography. These studies were conducted at different times
during the last couple of decades. Although many of these studies have been
referred to by other works, none of them was formally published before.
Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

The one question I get asked most by other creatives is, “How do you
get your vector artwork to look so nice?” When people ask me this,
they’re not talking about any specific art project or illustration, but
rather how I go about building my artwork in vector format so precisely.
Tags are used in HTML5 to place and organize content at a level
that is descriptive. This does not mean that the page will look
good. Presentation of content on the page is controlled using
Cascading Style Sheets Level 3, or CSS3, in HTML5.
There are times, however, when you need to present graphics,
too. Typically, HTML...
In the first edition of this book, we focused on what we called the "High Availability Database Administrator." However, that term led G to the question of just what is meant by High Availability? As a term bandied about among database administrators, this can have different meanings depending on who is interpreting it, who has to...
Concise work presents topological concepts in clear, elementary fashion without sacrificing their profundity or exactness. Author proceeds from basics of set-theoretic topology, through topological theorems and questions based on concept of the algebraic complex, to the concept of Betti groups.
Here is a lively history of modern physics, as seen through the lives of thirty men and women from the pantheon of physics.
William H. Cropper vividly portrays the life and accomplishments of such giants as Galileo and Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, right up to contemporary figures...
Bypass the limitations of synchronous design and create low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times using this practical guide to asynchronous design. The fundamentals of asynchronous design are covered, as is a large variety of design styles, while the emphasis throughout is on practical techniques and real-world...
Thomas Aquinas is one of the giants of medieval philosophy, a thinker who had--and who still has--a profound influence on Western thought. Aquinas was a controversial figure in his time who was often engaged in fierce theological debates. He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of...
