Since the publication of the Handbook of Research on Computer-Enhanced Language Acquisition and
Learning in 2008, information communication technology (ICT) has continued to create new learning
paths to assist language learning. While CD-ROMs, multimedia computer labs, the World Wide Web,
e-mail, and SMS still play an important...
Please do not consider any construction you find in this
book to be a final or definitive design. There is always room
for tinkering and improvements: As a matter of fact, some of
the constructions shown in this guide make deliberate use of
basic LEGO pieces, to help those who try to build with limited...
Written by an intensivist familiar with ultrasound, this book describes a new clinical tool: ultrasound for the intensive care and emergency physician. It specifically details findings of immediate clinical relevance throughout its pages. This volume is not only an exhaustive atlas dealing with the most variable aspects of the critically ill...
Cancers share a restricted set of characteristics crucial to the tumor phenotype:
proliferation in the absence of external growth stimuli, avoidance of apoptosis and
no limits to replication, escape from external growth-suppressive forces and the
immune response, an inflammatory micro-environment with new blood vessel...
This book was written to provide students, engineers, and scientists
involved in pattern recognition, digital image processing, and artificial
intelligence with a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and tech-
niques of syntactic pattern recognition.
Syntactic pattern recognition is concerned with the...
Intelligent systems can take many forms. Natural-language translation systems,
computer chess games, robotics applications, vision- and speech-recognition
systems, neural networks, and knowledge-based or expert systems are all special
types of intelligent systems. What each of these systems offers to a varying
degree is the...
This new edition o Introduction and Molecular Biology of Cancer provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of cancer biology, covering the current status of both research and treatment. For the student or new researcher the breadth of cancer research can appear daunting, yet a broad understanding is essential for translation of...
This book provides a practically-oriented introduction to high-level programming language implementation. It demystifies what goes on within a compiler and stimulates the reader's interest in compiler design, an essential aspect of computer science. Programming language analysis and translation techniques are used in many software...
With the advancement of statistical methodology inextricably linked to the use of computers, new methodological ideas must be translated into usable code and then numerically evaluated relative to competing procedures. In response to this, Statistical Computing in C++ and R concentrates on the writing of code rather...
