Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book discusses cutting-edge game AI techniques primarily from game developers of shipped commercial games. Topics include AI architectures, steering and path finding, tactics/strategy, genre specific techniques, gesture recognition, and learning techniques. The book includes about 60 articles (10 pages each) that are written in a style that is technical yet accesssible to beginners but ultimately aimed at the intermediate to expert professional game developer. The book acts as a toolbox of techniques that can be applied to many common and not-so-common situations.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The vital field of open-source software has proven itself a massive global incubator for innovation. With no barriers to entry, nearly anyone can join in and make huge contributions to a field. Yet, many of today's public and private enterprises inhibit this type of rapid, and necessary, innovation. This book provides a new model, and with it new strategies for identifying problems, breaking them down into the right questions, directing resources in research and development, interpreting results, disseminating information, manufacturing and distributing products, and commercializing future tech that can bring the knowledge commons to innovation for social, cultural, and economic advantage.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This practical textbook on the operations of intermodal transport and logistics focuses on the practical concerns and the basics of operations, such as vehicles, containers, handling operations, logistics management and optimisation, with some additional chapters on economics and the environment to put the practical topics into context, but with less emphasis on higher level issues such as policy and planning.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book will present an earth science-based overview of the challenges to sustainability (climate change, food and water shortages, etc.) and offer potential solutions. It will show how to use footprint analysis to estimate the environmental impacts of human activities, which then allows us to prioritize problems and their solutions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ceramic Processing, Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of the principles and practical methods used in producing ceramics with controlled microstructure. While maintaining the objectives of the successful first edition, this new edition has been updated and expanded to include several new chapters.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book presents practical methodologies to design reliable control systems, bridging the gap between successfully-tested theory and real world control system implementation. It is written for engineers and researchers designing reliable control solutions for industrial, energy, environmental, biomedical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and aerospace applications. The chapters showcase over fifty successful real world cases studies, including: commercial wind turbines, wastewater treatment plants, power systems, satellites with flexible appendages, spacecraft flying in formation, large radio telescopes, and industrial manufacturing systems. It utilizes the QFT Control Toolbox (QFTCT) for MATLAB, developed by the author, for problems and projects in each chapter.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Building on the author's Structural Mechanics Fundamentals, this text presents a complete and uniform treatment of the more advanced topics in structural mechanics, ranging from beam frames to shell structures, from dynamics to nonlinear analysis, from fracture mechanics to long-span and high-rise civil structures. Topics include: plane frames, statically indeterminate beam systems: Method of displacements, shells and membranes, finite element method, dynamics of discrete systems, dynamics of continuous systems, instability of elastic equilibrium, theory of plasticity, plane stress and plane strain conditions, mechanics of fracture, long-span structures, and high-rise buildings.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines, Second Edition builds upon the success of the book's first edition, with the addition of three major topic areas: Piston Engines with integrated propeller coverage; Pump Technologies; and Rocket Propulsion.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book describes recent trends and challenges in applications of renewable energy technologies for water desalination with an emphasis on environmental concerns and sustainable development.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nonlinear Filtering covers linear and nonlinear filtering in a comprehensive manner, with appropriate theoretic and practical development. Aspects of modeling, estimation, recursive filtering, linear filtering, and nonlinear filtering are presented with appropriate and sufficient mathematics. A modeling-control-system approach is used when applicable, and detailed practical applications are presented to elucidate the analysis and filtering concepts. MATLAB routines are included, and examples from a wide range of engineering applications - including aerospace, automated manufacturing, robotics, and advanced control systems - are referenced throughout the text.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Engineers increasingly face durability issues in concrete design and construction with the emphasis slowly but inexorably shifting to 'design for durability.' Growing pressure from owners and infrastructure agencies for designers and constructors to deliver durable concrete infrastructure, coupled with a focus on sustainability, requires that engineers have the latest tools to handle these challenges. This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, including durability design and specifications as well as how to actually achieve durability in concrete construction.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Appetite and Food Intake: Central Control, Second Edition contains all new chapters and serves as a companion to the first by reviewing current knowledge on neuroendocrine mechanisms that influence food intake and glucose metabolism, including environmental influences on their development, with an emphasis on recent progress in understanding forebrain and hindbrain control of ingestive behavior.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Barker and his associates suggested a possible link between fetal nutrition and the development of disease risk in adult life. Suggesting that individuals are subject to risks for more than just the fetal period, this book covers several interrelated aspects of cellular programming related to early nutrition and this potential global health problem.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Present book is focused on evaluation of fatigue life of aero engine combustors through an integrated approach, which includes a pressure test facility developed in-house to carry out pressure tests on the combustor casing to meet the mandatory airworthiness requirement.
