This book contains the papers presented during the 3rd International Workshop on Text Mining and its Applications held in Athens, Greece. This workshop is the final event of the activities of a network of excellence in the area of text mining and its applications. Knowledge Mining includes contributions in the areas of: Document processing,...
"The monograph is concerned with the position and force control of redundant robot manipulators from both theoretical and experimental points of view. It contains a rich bibliography as well as a full symbol and subject index. Its aim is to provide an introduction for graduate students and researchers...
"The purpose of this book is to present an up to date account of fuzzy subgroups of a group, it is the first book dedicated entirely to the rapidly growing field of fuzzy group theory. … The book represents a major contribution to the literature on fuzzy groups. It is...
Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) [Holland, 1976] are a machine learning technique which combines evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, supervised learning or unsupervised learning, and heuristics to produce adaptive systems. They are rulebased systems, where the rules are usually in the traditional production system form of “IF...
Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis provides the non-specialist with an introduction to quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived remotely retrieved data. Each chapter covers the pros and cons of digital remotely sensed data, without detailed mathematical treatment of computer based algorithms, but in a manner...
This book covers most of the subjects that are requested by engineers, those who are directly involved in design and manufacturing the pumps to those who operate the pumps in industrial units. The authors have worked for many years teaching the subject, conducting research, and implementing pump and pump station designs in different academic...
This textbook gives a clear and thorough presentation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and strength of materials. It provides both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials on an intermediate theoretical level, ranging from the mechanical properties of materials through the effects of axial load, torsion, bending, and...
The genesis of this book arose from our educational consultations with many physiotherapy
and occupational therapy colleagues around the world. In the course of presenting
workshops that were primarily focused on problem-based learning (PBL), it
became very clear to us that educators in the rehabilitation sciences were very...
"In this book, Walton presents his perspective on argumentation methods for artificial intelligence and law. … the different tools are combined in a way that makes them potentially useful for understanding legal reasoning. … this book offers a valuable perspective on the current state and future research directions of...
This book is based on lectures regularly taught in the fourth and fifth years
graduate courses in transport phenomena and chemical reactor modeling,
and in a post graduate course in modern reactor modeling at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering,
Trondheim, Norway. The objective...
"He found a promising approach in Sogami and Ise’s treatments of ‘electrostatic interactions in macro-ionic solutions’ of spherical macro-ions (Ise and Sogami, 2005)."
Clays and Clay Minerals, Vol. 54, No. 6, 773-775, 2006
This book is designed to critically review experimental findings on ionic...
Stressing common characteristics and real applications of the most used microcontrollers, this practical guide provides readers with hands-on knowledge of how to implement three families of microcontrollers (HC11, AVR, and 8051). Unlike the rest of the ocean of literature on individual chips, Microcontrollers in Practice supplies side-by-side...
