This book introduces the basics of digital images from a computer vision perspective, as well as the basics of proximity spaces, considering not only a traditional view of spatial proximity relations but also the more recent descriptive proximity relations.

This book offers an innovative approach to applying the Lean Production Philosophy to develop situation-based carbon reduction strategies for precast concrete manufacturers and contractors to improve environmental performance in the building life cycle.

This book details recent advances in fuzzy XML data management. Coverage includes: representation of fuzzy XML, query of fuzzy XML, fuzzy database models, extraction of fuzzy XML from fuzzy database models and reasoning of fuzzy XML.

This comprehensive technical overview of the core theory of thermal remote sensing and its applications in hydrology, agriculture, and forestry includes a host of illuminating examples and covers everything from the basics to likely future trends in the field.

This book outlines the development of new monolithic columns and isotope dimethyl labeling strategies and their applications in high-performance proteome analyses.

This book examines the underlying nature of price formation in financial markets as a predominantly sociological phenomenon that relates individual decision-making to emergent and co-evolving social and financial structures.

Spanning geological engineering, geotechnical engineering and tunnel engineering, this book covers soft soil deformation characteristics and dynamic responses induced by subway vibration load. Includes mechanism of deformation, microstructure failure and more.

Updated and expanded, this book describes the dynamic properties of magnetically trapped particles in planetary radiation belts and plasmas and explains physical processes from a theoretical point of view. Includes examples and practical recommendations.

This book presents a unique approach to natural-language processing, with the ultimate goal being the creation of cognitive machines that humans can freely talk with in their respective natural language.

This book explains situational method engineering and details how to apply it in software development. It features step-by-step explanations, from the basics to the customization and quality assessment of constructed methods. Includes industrial case studies.

This book opens with a lucid explanation of the theory of reactive Kripke semantics, followed by chapters demonstrating applications in a variety of areas. The book benefits both researchers and graduate students working in the field of mathematical logic.

This book examines physically unclonable functions in all their facets: the multitude of their physical constructions, the algorithmic and physical properties which describe them, and the techniques required to deploy them in information security applications.

This book offers insights into theoretical computer science and mathematics, distilling complex topics into manageable essays that summarize and explain key developments, historical context, and future directions of complexity, computability and algorithms.

This thesis presents research which has resulted in the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of the first high-valent iron nitride complexes. It also details the reactivity of a unique iron (V) nitride complex with water, yielding ammonia.

Claudia Backes reviews her work on noncovalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes in water, showing how rational surfactant design offers a key to solubilization, allowing nanotube surface and optical properties to be tailored in fully reversible fashion.

This second edition remains a comprehensive book on the subject. It offers beginners and advanced modelers alike a minimum theoretical background and a strong focus on the practical solution of geochemical modeling with PHREEQC.

This book addresses the analysis, in the continuum regime, of biological systems at various scales, from the cellular level to the industrial one.

Digital Communication

This book covers the flux pinning mechanisms and properties and the electromagnetic phenomena caused by the flux pinning common for metallic, high-Tc and MgB2 superconductors.

Effective Strategy Execution describes the first Strategic Alignment Remote ControlTM for managers. Readers will learn how to monitor performance, receive alerts and issue commands to steer their business across the globe.

This book discusses oxidative stress and hormesis from the perspective of an evolutionary ecologist or physiologist. The author illustrates how oxidative stress and hormesis have shaped diversity in organism life-histories, behavioral profiles, morphological phenotypes, and aging mechanisms.

This book describes the topics of moving objects modeling and location tracking, indexing and querying, clustering, location uncertainty, traffic aware navigation and privacy issues as well as the application to intelligent transportation systems.

There is no doubt that quality has become a major feature in the survival plan of organisations. Survival programmes based on quality improvement require an unrelenting com mitment to include everyone, from the Managing Director down, in an ongoing, never-ending involvement based on monitoring, and improving, all our activities.
