Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lighting is one of the most technical (and difficult) aspects of animation, yet it is of the utmost importance if you want to be an effective storyteller. Lighting masters at Blue Sky Studios, Jasmine Katatikarn and Michael Tanzillo go beyond software packages and equip you with the foundational skills you need to be a successful lighter. Lighting for Animation explores core fundamentals such as creating mood, directing the viewer's eye, visual shaping, color, shadows, and materials. Learn how to create meaningful images and make informed aesthetic decisions about your work with this book's holistic approach to lighting.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In introducing new students to video game development, there are two crucial components to consider: design and implementation. Unity 3D and PlayMaker Essentials: Game Development from Concept to Publishing provides theoretical background on topics such as characters, stories, level design, interface design, audio, game mechanics, and tools and skills needed.Each chapter focuses on a specific topic, with topics building upon each other so that by the end of the book you will have looked into all the subjects relevant to creating your own game. The book transitions from discussion to demonstrations of how to implement techniques and concepts into practice by using Unity3D and PlayMaker. Download boxes are included throughout the book where you can get the version of the game project under discussion or other content to add to the project, as well as any supplementary video tutorials that have been developed.Addressing both theoretical and practical aspects, Unity 3D and PlayMaker Essentials enables you to understand how to create a game by having you make a game. By gradually completing your own design document through the course of the book, you will become familiar with core design principles while learning the practical skills needed to bring your unique game to life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The thesis presents novel algorithms for optimal reservoir operation, named nested DP (nDP), nested SDP (nSDP), nested reinforcement learning (nRL) and their multi-objective (MO) variants, correspondingly MOnDP, MOnSDP and MOnRL. The idea is to include a nested optimization algorithm into each state transition, which reduces the initial problem dimension and alleviates the curse of dimensionality. These algorithms can solve multi-objective optimization problems, without significantly increasing the algorithm complexity or the computational expenses.Nested optimization algorithms are embedded in a cloud application platform for water resources modeling and optimization. The platform is available 24/7, accessible from everywhere, scalable, distributed, interoperable, and it creates a real-time multiuser collaboration platform.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The release of the water soluble oxyanions of selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) in the environment is of great concern due to their high toxicities. Development of technologies for Se- and Te- removal, as well as their recovery, are imperative. This study demonstrates the potential of fungi as Se- and Te-reducing organisms.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Designed for everyday practice, this book includes more than 150 high-quality ultrasound images annotated with key measurements and concise explanatory text. Normal variants are provided, along with ranges for features that can change during development and in disease. The book follows a consistent format throughout and features useful information on preparation and positioning of the patient for ultrasound, the type of transducer and method to be used, the appearance of the resulting ultrasound images and the measurements to be derived from them. This new edition covers relevant developments in ultrasound. Where appropriate, updated ultrasound measurements that have arisen are also included.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A First Course in Machine Learning by Simon Rogers and Mark Girolami is the best introductory book for ML currently available. It combines rigor and precision with accessibility, starts from a detailed explanation of the basic foundations of Bayesian analysis in the simplest of settings, and goes all the way to the frontiers of the subject such as infinite mixture models, GPs, and MCMC.'-Devdatt Dubhashi, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University, Sweden.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The aim of this book is to contribute to understanding risk knowledge and to forecasting components of early flood warning, particularly in the environment of tropical high mountains in developing cities. The research follows the modelling steps for flood forecasting development, addressing: flood hazard with emphasis on identifying debris flow predisposition; vulnerability to flash floods/debris flows; risk analysis; input precipitation; and hydrological modelling, focussing on the identification the most appropriate model for the study area for flood early warning and the added value of numerical weather models for early flood warning in a páramo area.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book discusses management decision-making under accident conditions as a vehicle to confirm the importance of clear decision-making guided by a systems approach on how an organization functions related to the role of managers, operators, and the operation of the plant. The book shows how to effectively assess the reliability of an organization particularly those organizations responsible for critical infrastructure. The authors have used Stafford Beer's cybernetic model as a basis to model the behavior and reliability of such organizations. A series of case studies are used to draw conclusions not only how training, experience, and education can improve the strategy and response of management to reduce the probability of an economic or social disaster, but also draw attention to the fact that managers need to be made aware of the consequences of their decisions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Suitable for self-study or an advanced course on the physics of radiation therapy, this text covers important topics in medical physics that are not adequately addressed in existing textbooks. It brings together material from a large variety of sources, eliminating the need for readers to search through and digest the vast research literature. The book uses consistent mathematical notation throughout and develops the mathematics from first principles. Problems with solutions test and reinforce readers' quantitative understanding.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Addressing one of the most difficult tasks today, this book provides a much-needed holistic view for translating scientific knowledge and research results into effective environmental management measures. Rooted in a seven-step method, it integrates examination and quantification of an environmental problem and describes the use of ecological diagnostic tools to develop a diagnosis for ecosystem health. It also presents methods for choosing and using solutions or combinations of solutions to tackle problems.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book brings together more than 25 years of pan-European CORINE Land Cover datasets to demonstrate the methods of identification, analysis and assessment of the European land cover and its changes that took place during the intervals of 1990-2000, 2000-2006, and 2006-2012. It provides examples in which CLC data plays a role in offering solutions to European environmental problems such as the monitoring of urban dynamics, land fragmentation, ecosystems mapping and assessment, and high nature value farmland characteristics. Also a set of outlooks is presented for more detailed levels of CLC mapping, bottom-up approaches and future CLC data generation.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Statistical Techniques for Neuroscientists introduces new and useful methods for data analysis involving simultaneous recording of neuron or large cluster (brain region) neuron activity. The statistical estimation and tests of hypotheses are based on the likelihood principle derived from stationary point processes and time series. Algorithms and software development are given in each chapter to reproduce the computer simulated results described therein.
