A compelling argument for automotive technologies that speak for the victim, tell the truth, and could save millions of lives
Fatal Exit: The Automotive Black Box Debate cuts through thirty years of political wrangling and institutional biases to provide an argument for the Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorder (MVEDR). This automotive equivalent...
Many engineers and students experience difficulty in making sense of issues associated with IP and ATM teletraffic techniques. This is partly because of the subject itself: networks are flexible, complicated, and still evolving. However, some of the difficulties arise because of the advanced mathematical methods that have been applied to provide...
Two factors dominate current molecular biology: the amount of raw data is increasing very rapidly and successful applications in biomedical research require carefully curated and annotated databases. The quality of the data - especially nucleic acid sequences - is satisfactory; however, annotations depend on features inferred from the data...
One feature that distinguishes the education of the chemical engineer from that of other engineers is an exposure to the basic concepts of chemical reaction kinetics and chemical reactor design. This textbook provides a judicious introductory level overview of these subjects. Emphasis is placed on the aspects of chemical kinetics and material and...
You love tinkering with technology. The digital lifestyle is your lifestyle. So building your own Home Theater PC just might be as entertaining as using it. In these pages, a couple of fellow tinkerers explain the components and subsystems of a Home Theater PC and help you choose and pur-...
Satellite positioning and computerised spatial data have transformed the way in which many areas of research and commercial activity are conducted. The combination of GIS and GPS is used for a broad spectrum of experiments.
This book provides technical overview of GIS, GPS and their integration, before focusing on a selection of R&D...
A groundbreaking guide devoted entirely to sample preparations
The importance of accurate sample preparation techniques cannot be overstated. Meticulous sample preparation is essential. Often overlooked, it is the midway poi nt where the analytes from the sample matrix are transformed so they are suitable for analysis. Even the...
In many ways, Google is the prototype of a successful twenty-first-century company. It uses technology in new ways to make information universally accessible; promotes a corporate culture that encourages creativity among its employees; and takes its role as a corporate citizen very seriously, investing in green initiatives and developing the...
A unique treatment of digital video distribution technology in a business context, Digital Video Distribution in Broadband, Television, Mobile and Converged Networks explores a range of diverse topics within the field through a combination of theory and practice to provide the best possible insight and exposure. The theoretical...
In the forty years since I started working in the field, and indeed for some years before that (almost since Calvin Mooers coined the term information storage and retrieval in the 1950s), there have been a significant number of books on information retrieval. Even if we ignore the more specialist research monographs and the...
The first book to address electromagnetic modeling methodologies for analysis of the large complex electronic structures, Efficient Electromagnetic Modeling for High Speed Electronics systematically reviews a series of fast and efficient electromagnetic modeling techniques. The book presents a number of special methods to solve the SI, PI,...
A straightforward, easy-to-read introduction to the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is one of the primary computational electrodynamics modeling techniques available. Since it is a time-domain method, FDTD solutions can cover a wide frequency range with a single simulation run...
