Speaking Like a State: Language and Nationalism in Pakistan

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Alyssa Ayres' fascinating study examines Pakistan's troubled history by exploring the importance of culture to political legitimacy. Early leaders selected Urdu as the natural symbol of the nation's great cultural past, but due to its limited base great efforts would be required to make it truly national. This paradox underscores the importance of...

Machine Learning Methods in the Environmental Sciences: Neural Networks and Kernels

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Machine learning is a major subfield in computational intelligence (also called artificial intelligence). Its main objective is to use computational methods to extract information from data. Neural network methods, generally regarded as forming the first wave of breakthrough in machine learning, became popular in the late 1980s, while kernel...

The Experimental Foundations of Particle Physics

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Our current understanding of elementary particles and their interactions emerged from break-through experiments. This book presents these experiments, beginning with the discoveries of the neutron and positron, and following them through mesons, strange particles, antiparticles, and quarks and gluons. This second edition contains new chapters on...

Performance Politics and the British Voter

Cambridge University Press, 2009

What matters most to voters when they choose their leaders? This book suggests that performance politics is at the heart of contemporary democracy, with voters forming judgments about how well competing parties and leaders perform on important issues. Given the high stakes and uncertainty involved, voters rely heavily on partisan cues and party...

Non-linear Modeling and Analysis of Solids and Structures

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This book presents a theoretical treatment of nonlinear behavior of solids and structures in such a way that it is suitable for numerical computation, typically using the Finite Element Method. Starting out from elementary concepts, the author systematically uses the principle of virtual work, initially illustrated by truss structures, to give a...

Lung Mechanics: An Inverse Modeling Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2009

With mathematical and computational models furthering our understanding of lung mechanics, function and disease, this book provides an all-inclusive introduction to the topic from a quantitative standpoint. Focusing on inverse modeling, the reader is guided through the theory in a logical progression, from the simplest models up to state-of-the-art...

Toll-like Receptors: Roles in Infection and Neuropathology (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2009

Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) were first identified in 1997 based on their homology with Drosophila Toll, which mediates innate immunity in the fly. In recent years, the number of studies describing TLR expression and function in the nervous system has been increasing steadily and expanding beyond their traditional roles in infectious...

Data Mining in Biomedicine Using Ontologies

Artech House Publishers, 2009

An ontology is a set of vocabulary terms with explicitly stated meanings and relations with other terms. Presently, a growing number of ontologies are being built and used for annotating data in biomedical research. Thanks to the tremendous amount of data being generated, ontologies are now being used in numerous ways, including connecting...

Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks: Parameter Estimation, Peformance Benchmarks, and Protocols

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The clock or time synchronization problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires a procedure for providing a common notion of time across the nodes of WSNs. In general, clock synchronization is viewed as a critical factor in maintaining the good functioning of WSNs due mainly to their decentralized organization and timing uncertainties...
