This book shows how reconfigurable hardware technology like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer cost-effective, flexible platforms for implementing WMSNs. Offers a complete specification of a low-complexity FPGA WMSN node processor, plus case studies.

This book surveys concepts of X-ray materials analysis, including X-ray scattering and interaction between X-rays and matter, plus techniques including high-resolution X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and more.

This book shows teachers, lecturers and students how open learning landscapes work, how to define quality and create assessments in such environments and how to apply these new measures. Includes assessment methods with guidelines, templates and use cases.

In this book, the author deals with both conventional and new approaches to trade theory and policy, treating all important research topics in international economics and clarifying their mathematical intricacies.

This richly illustrated book covers the history of the balance from the beginnings in Egypt earlier than 3000 BC to recent developments. It reviews the reliability of the various methods to measure weight and offers advice on choosing a weight system.

This book, originally published in China in 2007 and the recipient of awards and acclaim, has resolved questions of value and inspired deep changes in the thinking of China's philosophical circles and has caused tremendous effect and lasting social impact.

This book demonstrates that trilinguals should be considered learners and speakers in their own right, with the aim of improving approaches to third language teaching. Includes a study investigating connections formed between languages in a multilingual mind.

Based on the author's lectures, this book introduces symplectic field theory. Beginning with compactness results for holomorphic curves, the coverage includes extensions of certain compactness results believed to be true, but not yet published in detail.

The current volume is a revised version of the most recent French edition, a book that we have found to be an invaluable reference in our de partment of radiological ultrasound for anyone who can manage a bit of French.

World Energy Resources is an explanatory energy survey of the countries and major regions of the world, their geographic and economic settings, and signif icant inter-relationships.

In the enlarged, updated and revised edition of this overview of the theoretical concepts in surface science, a new chapter on surface magnetism has been included. This edition also addresses novel developments in the field.

Computational mechanics, as a science employed for the numerical model ing of processes in nature and engineering, has over the last few decades developed two strands.

A comprehensive summary of experiments on Compton scattering from the proton and neutron performed at the electron accelerator MAMI. The reader is introduced to the theoretical concepts of Compton scattering, followed by a description of the experiments on the proton, their analysis and results.

High performance is demonstrated as a process of devising algorithms for the fast graphics processing units (GPUs) of modern graphics hardware. Coverage includes parallelization on cluster computers with several GPUs, adaptive rendering methods, and non-photorealistic rendering techniques for visualization.

We wish to present the readers with several di?erent techniques for studying single molecules, such as electron-tunneling methods, interaction-force m- surement techniques, optical spectroscopy, plus a number of directions where further progress could be pursued.

Originally presented as the author's doctoral thesis, Ruprecht-Karls-Universit'at Heidelberg, 2002.

The scope and style employed preserve the nature of its subject: the turbulence phe nomena in gas and liquid flows which are believed to occur at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers.

The C++ Quick Syntax Reference is a condensed code and syntax reference to the C++ programming language. The book is packed with useful information and is a must-have for any C++ programmer. In the C++ Quick Syntax Reference, you will find:A concise reference to the C++ language syntax.

Transportation management in today's consumer goods industry can be characterized by a high proportion of outsourced transportation services.

Which factors govern the birds' decisions to stop, to stop for how long, when to resume flight? What is better - to accumulate much fuel and to make long flights for many hundreds of kilometres, or to travel in small steps? Are long migratory flights indeed so costly energetically as usually assumed?

Derivative criminal liability includes inchoate offenses (criminal attempt, conspiracy, preparatory offenses), complicity (joint perpetration, perpetration through another, incitement, solicitation, accessoryship), organized crime, and more. This title intends to develop a practical theory of derivative criminal liability.

Exploring averaging dynamics in multiagent networked systems, this book offers an in-depth study of stability and other phenomena characterizing the limiting behavior of both deterministic and random averaging dynamics. Includes numerous illustrative examples.

This book examines the realization of spin-squeezed states suitable for atom interferometry. Recipient of the German Physical Society's 2011 Dissertation.

This is a revised, updated and enlarged edition of Volume II of the author's book "Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians" designed to introduce this exciting work to the math-minded reader, in a rigorous manner requiring no knowledge of any physics.

This book presents state-of-the-art theory and the application of dynamic and transient infinite elements for simulating the far fields of infinite domains involved in many of scientific and engineering problems.
