Prevention and Treatment of Age-related Diseases

Springer, 2006

During the last 40 years, biogerontology – the study of the biological basis of aging – has progressed tremendously, and it has now become an independent and respectable field of study and research. Numerous universities, medical institutes and research centers throughout the world now offer full-fledged courses on the...

Inductive Dependency Parsing (Text, Speech and Language Technology)

Springer, 2006

This book provides an in-depth description of the framework of inductive dependency parsing, a methodology for robust and efficient syntactic analysis of unrestricted natural language text. This methodology is based on two essential components: dependency-based syntactic representations and a data-driven approach to syntactic parsing. More...

Imaging Beyond the Pinhole Camera (Computational Imaging and Vision)

Springer, 2007

The world's first photograph was taken in 1826 using a pinhole camera, known as camera obscura. The camera obscura, the basic projection model of pinhole cameras, was already known in China more than 2500 years ago. Cameras used since this first photograph are basically following the pinhole camera principle. The quality of projected images...

Bodily Integrity and the Politics of Circumcision: Culture, Controversy, and Change

Springer, 2006

Every year 13.3 millions boys and 2 million girls are subjected to circumcision, the involuntary removal of part or all of their external sex organs.

Bodily Integrity and the Politics of Circumcision illuminates the vulnerability of human society to medical, economic, and historical pressures. It provides a much-needed, thoughtful,...

The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis (Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality)

Springer, 2006

Part of this book was originally written in 1976 when some thirty copies were printed and distributed to interested parties. A wider distribution was planned but never carried out. In re-reading the first edition written 29 years ago, I am struck by the fact that arguments for a nuclear-powered future and a need to develop portable synfuels and new...

Advances in Robot Kinematics: Mechanisms and Motion

Springer, 2006

This book presents the most recent research advances in the theory, design, control and application of robotic systems, which are intended for a variety of purposes such as manipulation, manufacturing, automation, surgery, locomotion and biomechanics. The issues addressed are fundamentally kinematic in nature, including synthesis, calibration,...

Information Extraction: Algorithms and Prospects in a Retrieval Context (The Information Retrieval Series)

Springer, 2006

Information extraction regards the processes of structuring and combining content that is explicitly stated or implied in one or multiple unstructured information sources. It involves a semantic classification and linking of certain pieces of information and is considered as a light form of content understanding by the machine. Currently, there is...

Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies

Springer, 2006

In the deep sub-micron regime, the power consumption has become one of the most important issues for competitive design of digital circuits. Due to dramatically increasing leakage currents, the power consumption does not take advantage of technology scaling as before. State-of-art power reduction techniques like the use of multiple supply and...

Nanoscale Devices - Fundamentals and Applications (NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry)

Springer, 2006

Over the last decade the interest in nanoscale materials and their applications in novel electronic devices have been increasing tremendously. This is caused by the unique properties of nanoscale materials and the outstanding performance of nanoscale devices. The fascinating and often unrivalled properties of nanoscale materials and devices opened...

Positive Trigonometric Polynomials and Signal Processing Applications (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2007

"The book under review is a new contribution on the topic, with a focus on signal processing applications. … this is the first self-contained manuscript on this emerging research area, and hence it is a welcome and timely contribution to the technical literature. … use of illustrative numerical examples, accompanied by Matlab...

Platform Based Design at the Electronic System Level: Industry Perspectives and Experiences

Springer, 2006

Platform Based Design at the Electronic System Level presents a multi-faceted view of the set of problems that the electronic industry currently faces in the development and integration of complex heterogeneous systems (including both hardware and software components). It analyses and proposes solutions related to the...

Phenomenology of Life - From the Animal Soul to the Human Mind: Book II. The Human Soul in the Creative Transformation of the Mind

Springer, 2007

The human condition comes into its own only, as we have pointed out before,1 when Imaginatio Creatrix emerges and progressively reaches the realization of its full potential, bringing in the freedom to interrogate and the powers of creative invention.

When we come to stand back and ponder it, we are amazed at how the ontopoietic...
