Advances in computing and communications have brought about an increasing demand for visual information. Visual Computing addresses the principles behind "visual technology", and provides readers with a good understanding of how the integration of Computer Graphics, Visual Perception and Imaging is achieved.

Most other carbonate minerals of similar composition which are known to occur in the younger sediments are metastable with respect to calcite, dolomite, and magnesite. This is another viewpoint from which mineralogy is important to carbonate petrology, if we regard the crystal chemistry of minerals as a part of mineralogy.

Categorical methods of speaking and thinking are becoming more and more widespread in mathematics because they achieve a unifi cation of parts of different mathematical fields; The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the central part of category theory and to make the literature accessible to the reader who wishes to go farther.

Starting with a T-S fuzzy system, the objective of this book is to design an H-infinity filter with gain variations that guarantee a prescribed H-infinity performance level. It also shows that the solution can be found by solving linear matrix inequalities.

The emphasis is on a thorough, but concise, treatment of the necessary theory and the use of this theory to understand the manifold varieties of waves which are observed by ground-based instruments and by satellites.

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution, transport and deposition, and the most important physical-chemical-bio logical process that affects suspended matter: flocculation.

In spite of the favourable climatic conditions for the production of varieties of delicious fruits in such countries, continuously high tempemtures shorten the shelf-life of most fruits and fruit products.

UV-VIS spectroscopy is one of the oldest methods in molecular spectroscopy. For this reason, a lecture series about electronic spectroscopy given in the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Dusseldorf was supplemented by one about "UV-VIS spectroscopy and its applications".
