A Concise and Practical Introduction to Programming Algorithms in Java (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2009

A Concise and Practical Introduction to Programming Algorithms in Java has two main goals. The first is for novice programmers to learn progressively the basic concepts underlying most imperative programming languages using Java. The second goal is to introduce new programmers to the very basic principles of thinking the algorithmic way and turning...

Ada for Software Engineers

Springer, 2009

Ada has become the language of choice for high integrity software systems, and is now used extensively in applications such as transportation, finance, aerospace and heavy industry. This book is aimed at professional software engineers making the transition to Ada, and at students using Ada for advanced undergraduate projects or graduate research....

Springer, 2009

Aldol Reactions provides a comprehensive up-to-date overview of aldol reactions including application of different metal enolates; catalytic aldol additions catalyzed by different Lewis acids and Lewis bases; enantioselective direct aldol additions; antibodies and enzyme catalyzed aldol additions and the recent aggressive development of...

Art Matters: A Critical Commentary on Heideggers The Origin of the Work of Art (Contributions To Phenomenology)

Springer, 2009

In recent years there has been a great deal of talk about a possible death of art. As the title of Heidegger’s “The Origin of the Work of Art” suggests, the essay challenges such talk, just as it in turn is challenged by such talk, talk that is supported by the current state of the art-world. It was Hegel, who most profoundly...

Comparative Information Technology: Languages, Societies and the Internet (Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research)

Springer, 2009

This volume offers a critique of the nexus between ICT and its impact on society, individuals and educational institutions. One of the most significant dimensions of globalisation has been the rapid development of information and communications technologies (ICTs). Our lives have been changed by ICTs in numerous ways and the implications for...

Bayesian Computation with R (Use R)

Springer, 2009

The book is a concise presentation of a wide range of Bayesian inferential problems and the computational methods to solve them. The detailed and thorough presentation style, with complete R code for the examples, makes it a welcome companion to a theoretical text on Bayesian inference.... Smart students of statistics will want to have both R and...

Fault-tolerant Flight Control and Guidance Systems: Practical Methods for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Advances in Industrial Control)

Springer, 2009

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer an incomparable means of gathering intelligence and carrying out missions without needing an onboard human pilot. The benefits are considerable in terms of cost, efficiency, and reduced pilot risk.

In order to complete a mission efficiently and with a high level of safety and security, the following key...

Implicit Curves and Surfaces: Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms

Springer, 2009

Implicit objects have gained increasing importance in geometric modeling, visualisation, animation, and computer graphics, because their geometric properties provide a good alternative to traditional parametric objects. This book presents the mathematics, computational methods and data structures, as well as the algorithms needed to render...

Device Applications of Silicon Nanocrystals and Nanostructures (Nanostructure Science and Technology)

Springer, 2008

Recent developments in the technology of silicon nanocrystals and silicon nanostructures, where quantum-size effects are important, are systematically described including examples of device applications. Due to the strong quantum confinement effect, the material properties are freed from the usual indirect- or direct-bandgap regime, and the...

Nanoparticles and Nanodevices in Biological Applications: The INFN Lectures - Vol I (Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology)

Springer, 2008

This is the first volume in a series of books on selected topics in Nanoscale Science and Technology based on lectures given at the well-known INFN schools of the same name. The aim of this collection is to provide a reference corpus of suitable, introductory material to relevant subfields, as they mature over time, by gathering the significantly...

Nuclear Energy: Principles, Practices, and Prospects

Springer, 2008

"The material presented here is largely accessible to anyone interested in nuclear energy. This book is the best of its kind in providing a well-written survey of the science, technology, safety, and economics of the full range of nuclear issues, including power, waste, weapons, terrorism, biological effects, and the future of the nuclear...
