The design of integrated circuits today remains an essential discipline in s- port of technological progress, and the authors of this book have taken a giant step forward in the development of a practice-oriented treatise for design engineers who are interested in the practical, industry-driven world of integrated circuit - sign.

Fuzzy Sets in the Management of Uncertainty presents an overview of current problems in business management, primarily for those situations involving decision making of an economic-financial nature.

This monograph presents a concise and clearly organized introduction in the standard methods of discrete, continuous and hybrid Petri Nets. Starting from the basics of Petri nets the book imparts an accurate understanding of continuous and hybrid Petri Nets.

In addition, the CD-ROM contains a complete solutions manual that includes detailed solutions to all the problems in the book. Kattan PrefacetotheFirstEdition 3 This is a book for people who love ?nite elements and MATLAB .

This manual is a useful ready-reference guide to the analytical power of modern X-ray scattering in the field of soft matter. Data analysis based on clear, unequivocal results is rendered simple and straightforward - with a stress on careful planning of experiments and adequate recording of all required data.

This book details the hypothesis that the majority of bacteria in virtually all ecosystems grow in matrix-enclosed biofilms. The author, who first proposed this hypothesis, uses evidence from microscopy and from molecular techniques to advocate moving beyond culture methods that formerly dominated microbiology.

The author has drawn together almost all published methods since 1975 on the determination of anions in all types of matrices. He presents the methods in a logical manner so that the reader can quickly gain access to the method and types of instrumentation available.

This up-to-date text deals with the mutual interaction and energy transfer between electronic defect states of F centres and defect ions and neighbouring molecular defects in alkali halides. It includes more than 100 illustrations and figures, plus many previously unpublished results.

It includes a set of tools to describe the morphological, statistical and stereological properties of spatial random models. Furthermore, the author presents a wide range of spatial models, including random sets and functions, point processes and object populations applicable to the geosciences.

This book reviews acoustic MIMO scenarios for improving human-machine interaction. The book establishes an acoustic MIMO paradigm, linking MIMO signal processing with classical signal processing. Also presented is a novel analysis of acoustic applications to reinforce the fundamentals of acoustic MIMO signal processing.

This book lays out a vision for a coherent framework for understanding complex systems. By developing the genuine idea of Brownian agents, the author combines concepts from informatics, such as multiagent systems, with approaches of statistical many-particle physics.

This book provides a solid introduction to the foundation and the application of the finite element method in structural analysis. This second edition contains additional sections on sensitivity analysis, on retrofitting structures, on the Generalized FEM (X-FEM) and on model adaptivity.

This book analyzes the modern trend in the Japanese M and A market. It reveals from different perspectives the process of convergence to a new monitoring model of the corporation: "the market for corporate control". The book contains a systematic survey of all relevant economic and legal information in this field.

To perform deliberative actions, a robot must possess some symbolic representation of its workspace, but representations of real environments can become so large that they must be conveniently arranged to facilitate and, in some cases, make possible their use. This title offers practical solutions tested on real robots.

This immensely practical guide to PIV provides a condensed, yet exhaustive guide to most of the information needed for experiments employing the technique. What's more, the huge increase in the range of possible applications has been taken into account as the chapter describing these applications of the PIV technique has been expanded.

This book focuses on the role of interest groups and their lobbying efforts in public policy. It applies strategic contest theory as the basic methodology and clarifies the fundamental parameters that determine the behavior of the government and the interest groups.

Intended for anyone needing to apply statistical analysis to a large variety of science and engineering problems, this book shows how to use SPSS, MATLAB, STATISTICA and R for data description, statistical inference, classification and regression, factor analysis, survival data and directional statistics.

This comprehensive introduction to software measurement offers detail knowledge and experiences about the subject in an easily understood, hands-on presentation. It also provides guidance to all relevant measurement tools and online references.

This book focuses linear estimation theory, which is essential for effective signal processing. The first section offers a comprehensive overview of key methods like reduced-rank signal processing and Krylov subspace methods of numerical mathematics.

This book presents biologically inspired walking machines interacting with their physical environment, and shows how the morphology and behavior control of machines can benefit from biological studies.

This book presents in detail the necessary numerical methods, the theoretical background and foundations and the techniques involved in creating particle models, including linked-cell method, SPME-method, tree codes, amd multipol technique.

Algorithmic Information Theory treats the mathematics of many important areas in digital information processing. It has been written as a read-and-learn book on concrete mathematics, for teachers, students and practitioners in electronic engineering, computer science and mathematics.

These steam tables have been calculated using the international standard for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam, the IAPWS-IF97 formulation, and the international standards for transport and other properties.

This book examines simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for autonomous robots. Solutions include uncertainty-driven exploration, coordination of multiple robots, learning and incorporating background knowledge, and dealing with dynamic environments.

For most cases of interest, exact solutions to nonlinear equations describing stochastic dynamical systems are not available. This book details the relatively simple and popular linearization techniques available, covering theory as well as application.

This book presents new optimization algorithms designed to improve the efficiency of tool paths for five-axis NC machining of sculptured surfaces.
