Innate Immunity of Plants, Animals and Humans (Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology)

Springer, 2007

This book has been cunningly designed to provide an overview of our current knowledge about the innate immune systems of these three types of organisms. It not only covers the innate immune mechanisms and responses of such diverse organisms as plants, Cnidaria, Drosophila, urochordates and zebrafish, but also the major receptor systems in...

Modelling Distributed Systems (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

Springer, 2007

A distributed system is driven by separate components that are executed in parallel, and protocols for such systems form a major aspect of system design in todays world of wireless and mobile networking. Process algebras are languages for the description of elementary parallel systems and are used to study the behavioural properties of distributed...

Perspectives of Neural-Symbolic Integration (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2007

The human brain possesses the remarkable capability of understanding, interpreting, and producing human language, thereby relying mostly on the left hemisphere. The ability to acquire language is innate as can be seen from disorders such as specific language impairment (SLI), which manifests itself in a missing sense for grammaticality. Language...

Recent Advances in Mechatronics

Springer, 2007

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision engineering, electronics, photonics and IT engineering. The main research task for mechatronics is development and control of advanced hybrid systems covering all these fields and supported by interdisciplinary studies.

This book presents recent state of advances in mechatronics presented...

Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

Springer, 2007

Mechatronics education has been a constant source of interest to nearly all engineering conferences, and the first chapter in this book is dedicated to this most important subject.

The first paper discusses a very original idea from one of the more innovative pioneers of mechatronics education. This looks at the...

Closed-Loop Control of Blood Glucose (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

Springer, 2010

This book presents closed-loop blood glucose control in a simple manner, which includes the hardware and "software" components that make up the control system. It provides examples on how mathematical models are formulated as well as the control algorithms that stem from mathematical exercises. The book also describes the basic...

Information Retrieval for Music and Motion

Springer, 2007

A general scenario that has attracted a lot of attention for multimedia information retrieval is based on the query-by-example paradigm: retrieve all documents from a database containing parts or aspects similar to a given data fragment. However, multimedia objects, even though they are similar from a structural or semantic viewpoint, often reveal...

Web Information Systems and Technologies: International Conferences WEBIST 2005 and WEBIST 2006, Revised Selected Papers

Springer, 2007

This book contains the best papers from the first two instances of the International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST 2005 and 2006), organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) in collaboration with the OMG (Object Management Group), held in Miami (USA)...

Random Curves: Journeys of a Mathematician

Springer, 2007

These autobiographical memoirs of Neal Koblitz, coinventor of one of the two most popular forms of encryption and digital signature, cover many topics besides his own personal career in mathematics and cryptography - travels to the Soviet Union, Latin America, Vietnam and elsewhere, political activism, and academic controversies relating to math...

Swarm Intelligence: Introduction and Applications (Natural Computing Series)

Springer, 2008

The laws that govern the collective behavior of social insects, flocks of birds, or fish schools continue to mesmerize researchers. While individuals are rather unsophisticated, in cooperation they can solve complex tasks, a prime example being the ability of ant colonies to find shortest paths between their nests and food sources. Task-solving...

Decision Procedures: An Algorithmic Point of View (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

Springer, 2008

A decision procedure is an algorithm that, given a decision problem, terminates with a correct yes/no answer. Here, the authors focus on theories that are expressive enough to model real problems, but are still decidable. Specifically, the book concentrates on decision procedures for first-order theories that are commonly used in automated...

Design by Evolution: Advances in Evolutionary Design (Natural Computing Series)

Springer, 2008

Evolution is Nature’s design process. The natural world is full of wonderful examples of its successes, from engineering design feats such as powered flight, to the design of complex optical systems such as the mammalian eye, to the merely stunningly beautiful designs of orchids or birds of paradise. With increasing...
