This book examines the recent progress made in the emerging field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology in the context of its imminent insertion and deployment in radio frequency (RF) and microwave wireless applications. In particular, as the potential of RF MEMS to enable the implementation of sophisticated, yet low-power, portable...
For undergraduate introductory or survey courses in electrical engineering.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS, 5/e helps students learn electrical-engineering fundamentals with minimal frustration. Its goals are to...
Graphics Shaders: Theory and Practice is intended for a second course in computer graphics at the undergraduate or graduate level, introducing shader programming in general, but focusing on the GLSL shading language. While teaching how to write programmable shaders, the authors also teach and reinforce the fundamentals of...
Fundamentals of Structural Engineering provides a balanced, seamless treatment of both classic, analytic methods and contemporary, computer-based techniques for conceptualizing and designing a structure. The book?s principle goal is to foster an intuitive understanding of structural behavior based on problem solving experience for...
Covers important name reactions relevant to heterocyclic chemistry
The field of heterocyclic chemistry has long presented a special challenge for chemists. Because of the enormous amount and variety of information, it is often a difficult topic to cover for undergraduate and graduate chemistry students, even in simplified...
Bioinformatics is interpreted as the application of information science to biology, in which it plays a fundamental and all-pervasive role. The field continues to develop intensively in both academia and commercially, and is highly interdisciplinary. This broad-ranging and thoroughly updated second edition covers new findings while retaining the...
This book is an introduction to theoretical computer science emphasizing two interrelated areas: the theory of computability {how to tell whether problems are algorithmically solvable) and the theory of formal languages (how to design and use special languages, as for algorithms). Automata {idealized computer devices) are used as precise...
My interest in oscillators started many years ago when I was an undergraduate
student and one of the laboratory experiments was the design of a Colpitts oscillator.
It was amazing to see how a sinusoidal signal appeared when the power supply
was turned on. What an interesting way of controlling the motion of electrons in
the circuit!...
Since its publication, Essentials of Artificial Intelligence has been adopted at numerous universities and colleges offering introductory AI courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Based on the author's course at Stanford University, the book is an integrated, cohesive introduction to the field. The...
A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory
A romantic description of the second law of thermodynamics is that the universe becomes increasingly disordered. But what does that actually mean? Starting with...
ColdFusion is a rapid application development tool used to create Web sites throughout the Internet. The product's ease of use and capabilities allow even inexperienced developers to rapidly produce basic Web sites.
The ColdFusion MX Developer's Cookbook focuses upon teaching the use of ColdFusion's advanced features in the development of more...
"With a name like Gohberg–Goldberg–Kaashoek, it has got to be good. But let me count the ways. If you are interested in learning the basic theories of Hilbert and Banach spaces together with the well-known operators that act on them, this book is for you. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in...
