One of the consequences of the information revolution is the ever-growing amount of
information we are surrounded with and the need to process this information
efficiently and extract meaningful knowledge. This phenomenon was termed “digital
obesity” or “information obesity” by Toshiba Ltd. One...

Over two million Canadians have diabetes--with 10 percent living with type 1 diabetes, and the remaining type 2. With recipes reflecting Canada's diverse, multicultural population, this unique cookbook contains...

It very soon aggregated the research activities on computer...

The book is intended for advanced students in physics, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, engine engineering and for specialists in computer vision and robotics on the techniques for the development of vision-based robot projects. It focusses on autonomous and mobile service robots for indoor work, and teaches...

Filters, especially analog filters, are employed in many different systems that electrical engineers embark upon to design. Even many signal processing systems that are apparently digital, often contain one or more analog continuous-time filters either internally or as interface with the real-time world, which is analog in nature. This book...

This book describes the optimization methods most commonly encountered in signal and image processing: artificial evolution and Parisian approach; wavelets and fractals; information criteria; training and quadratic programming; Bayesian formalism; probabilistic modeling; Markovian approach; hidden Markov models; and metaheuristics (genetic...

In order to meet the miniaturization requirements of portable communication equipment, researchers have given much attention recently to compact microstrip antennas. Many related compact designs with broadband dual-frequency operation, dualpolarized radiation, circularly polarized radiation, and enhanced antenna gain have been reported. Many...

Due to the rapid development of wireless communications, the modeling of radiation and scattering is becoming more important in the design of antennas. Consequently, it is increasingly important for antenna designers and students of antenna design to have a comprehensive...
