This multidisciplinary book will appeal to applied physicists, materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, chemists, and applied mathematicians.

This book presents human intelligence concepts such as Metacognition and Metamemory, framed for autonomous Artificial Intelligence systems. Discussion includes architectural constructs for AI versions of brain functions like the prefrontal cortex, and more.

This book presents advanced algorithms used in modern communications systems. It will help algorithm designers and chip designers meet challenges posed by the ongoing increase of algorithmic complexity and required data throughput for mobile applications.

This volume provides the results of a 30-year excavation, reconstruction, and public interpretation campaign at the late prehistoric settlement of Castell Henllys. It offers careful consideration of the changing roles of heritage in cultural politics.

The methodologies presented in this book enable designers to reuse intellectual property (IP) blocks from existing designs in an efficient, reliable manner, automatically generating correct Systems-on-Chips from multiple, possibly mismatching, components.

Interference is at the core of many types of optical detection and is a powerful probe of cellular and tissue structure. This book presents the fundamental physics of optical interferometry as applied to biophysical, biological and medical research.

This book presents the fundamental principles of irrigation need assessment, water relations in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and the principles needed to adopt the most appropriate approach toward irrigation development and management.

This fascinating book discusses the emergence of humanlike robots into our everyday world. It covers the trends, possibilities, and concerns we will all feel with their emergence. State-of-the-art photos and futuristic illustrations are included.

A professor of astronomy at the University of Illinois, he is the author of "Stars and Their Spectra" (Cambridge), "Stars" (Freeman/Scientific American Library), "Cosmic Clouds" (Freeman/Scientific American Library), and numerous articles for popular and professional astronomy magazines.

In this fascinating narrative, Peter Bond provides an overview of key twentieth century unmanned missions to nearly every corner of our solar system, telling the story of the mission planners and engineers who made possible these unprecedented achievements in scientific exploration.

The Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton provides a unique systematic description of all calcified components of the mouse. It includes about 200 high resolution, two and three dimensional m CT images of the exterior and interiors of all bones and joints.

This book discusses the strengths and weaknesses of widely used diagnostic approaches for learning disabilities, offers examples of assessment protocols and report writing, and case reports illustrating diagnostic issues. Includes Q&As with leading experts.

Unit 3, Inventory Management in the Supply Chain Environment, provides an in-depth review of managing supply chain inventories, statistical inventory management, and inventory management in a multiechelon channel environment.

This book covers advanced mass and heat transfer and vapor compression refrigeration systems and shows how the performance of an automotive air-conditioning system is affected by two-phase flow and oil concentration.

In this lay reader's introduction to the most spectacular and devastating of all geological events, Rolf Schick describes how earthquakes and volcanoes are related, and how they are an integral part of Earth's structure.

This text integrates different mobility data handling processes, from database management to multi-dimensional analysis and mining, into a unified presentation driven by the spectrum of requirements raised by real-world applications.

The book describes the effects of natural as well as artificial electromagnetic energies covering the en tire measurable frequency range from the highest frequencies, x-rays, through microwaves, radio waves, and finally extremely low frequency (ELF) waves.

Policing and Punishing the Drinking Driver is at one level about the impact of specific drinking-driving countermeasures (punishments imposed by courts on convicted offenders and random breath testing) in a particular place (New South Wales, Australia) in two particular years (1972 and 1983).

This standard guide to electron energy-loss spectroscopy covers instrumentation, physics, procedures and results. The 3rd edition adds new equipment, advances in electron-scattering theory, spectral and image processing, and new applications in nanotechnology.
