In What Makes the Great Great, Dennis Kimbro, author of the bestselling Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice, introduces inspiring people who have achieved greatness in their own unique way, then highlights those qualities each of us must develop before we reach our full potential. Regardless of how you define greatness--whether...
This book provides an elementary introduction to formal languages and machine computation. The materials covered include computation-oriented mathematics, finite automata and regular languages, push-down automata and context-free languages, Turing machines and recursively enumerable languages, and computability and complexity. As integers are...
"Few false ideas have more firmly gripped the minds of so many intelligent men than the one that, if they just tried, they could invent a cipher that no one could break," writes David Kahn in this massive (almost 1,200 pages) volume. Most of The Codebreakers focuses on the 20th century, especially World War II. But its reach is...
Natural language processing is often called an "Al-complete" task, in the sense that in order to truly process language (i.e. to comprehend, to translate, to generate) full understanding is required, which is itself the ultimate goal of Artificial Intelligence. For those who seek solutions to practical problems, this is not a...
The promise of having control over their environment draws programmers to UNIX. It offers powerful tools for the initiated within an operating system that can be customized and tuned in almost unlimited ways. Programmers use UNIX because it lets them do what they want. And they like to see the source code for the software they work...
This work is dedicated to students at all levels of education, who are interested in the fascinating field of forensic science. The contents of this book, by outstanding contributors, provides the reader with information on the various fields of forensic science that may help them make a career choice or add to their present...
You are about to embark on the study of a fascinating and important subject: the
theory of computation. It comprises the fundamental mathematical properties of
computer hardware, software, and certain applications thereof. In studying this
subject we seek to determine what can and cannot be computed, how quickly,
with how much memory,...
Contributions on UML address the application of UML in the specification of embedded HW/SW systems. C-Based System Design embraces the modeling of operating systems, modeling with different models of computation, generation of test patterns, and experiences from case studies with SystemC. Analog and Mixed-Signal Systems covers rules for solving...
Eurocode 2 is the key document for future structural design in concrete throughout Europe. To use the code effectively, structural engineers need a range of aids in the form of flow charts, design charts and simplified procedures. This book provides all these, and is written with the authority of collaborative work by members of the Concrete...
Multithreading is supported under Windows NT and Windows 95 and later through the Win32 API, but coverage of this important topic has been sporadic and incomplete until now. In Multithreading Applications in Win32, with just enough theory and lots of sample code, Jim Beveridge and Bob Wiener show developers when, where, and how to use...
"I know of no similar books in the literature, and I am sure Atom Interferometry will be very useful for scientists who are interested both in the fundamental and applied aspects of quantum physics." --Vasili Kharchenko, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, PHYSICS TODAY. -- Review
This review outlines each technique used in rubber analysis and then illustrates which methods are applied to determine which facts. This text is a good introduction to a very complex subject area and will enable the reader to understand the basic concepts of rubber analysis. Around 350 abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database...
