Advances in Applied Bioremediation (Soil Biology)

Springer, 2009

Bioremediation is a rapidly advancing field and the technology has been applied successfully to remediate many contaminated sites. The goal of every soil remediation method is to enhance the degradation, transformation, or detoxification of pollutants and to protect, maintain and sustain environmental quality.

Methods of Contemporary Mathematical Statistical Physics (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

This volume presents a collection of courses introducing the reader to the recent progress with attention being paid to laying solid grounds and developing various basic tools. An introductory chapter on lattice spin models is useful as a background for other lectures of the collection. The topics include new results on phase transitions for...

Principles and Theory for Data Mining and Machine Learning (Springer Series in Statistics)

Springer, 2009

This book is a thorough introduction to the most important topics in data mining and machine learning. It begins with a detailed review of classical function estimation and proceeds with chapters on nonlinear regression, classification, and ensemble methods. The final chapters focus on clustering, dimension reduction, variable selection, and...

Probability, Random Processes, and Ergodic Properties

Springer, 2009

This book has a long history. It began over two decades ago as the first half of a book on information and ergodic theory. The intent was and remains to provide a reasonably self-contained advanced (at least for engineers) treatment of measure theory, probability theory, and random processes, with an emphasis on general alphabets and on ergodic...

The Ethics of Research Biobanking

Springer, 2009

Biobanking, i.e. storage of biological samples or data emerging from such samples for diagnostic, therapeutic or research purposes, has been going on for decades. However, it is only since the mid 1990s that these activities have become the subject of considerable public attention, concern and debate. This shift in climate is due to several...

The Ethics of Computer Games

MIT Press, 2009

Despite the emergence of computer games as a dominant cultural industry (and the accompanying emergence of computer games as the subject of scholarly research), we know little or nothing about the ethics of computer games. Considerations of the morality of computer games seldom go beyond intermittent portrayals of them in the mass media as training...

Real-Time Stability Assessment in Modern Power System Control Centers

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

This book answers the need for a practical, hands-on guide for assessing power stability in real time, rather than in offline simulations. Since the book is primarily geared toward the practical aspects of the subject, theoretical background is reduced to the strictest minimum. For the benefit of readers who may not be quite familiar with the...

Mastering Digital SLR Photography

Course Technology PTR, 2004

This unique guide emphasizes digital "photography", rather than software. You'll learn how to take compelling pictures and make great images using imaging technology while focusing on the special strengths of digital SLR cameras. Whether you're a snap-shooting tyro, or an experienced photographer moving into the digital SLR...

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...

Sherman (Great Generals)

Palgrave Macmillan, 2009

"A fast-paced look at the military career of Grant’s most trusted, effective subordinate, the latest from the publisher’s handy Great Generals Series." -- Kirkus Reviews

Stop the Screaming: How to Turn Angry Conflict With Your Child into Positive Communication

Palgrave Macmillan, 2009

I wrote Stop the Screaming in order to help parents better understand and resolve conflicts with their children and adolescents. Not abusive or violent, these are the conflicts that arise in the normal course of family life. They happen at any time or on any occasion—during play, at family meals, and even on vacations. They are typically...
