Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Originally designed to make it simpler for digital artists to learn to program, Processing is a wonderful first language for anyone to learn. Given its origins, programming graphics, animations, and interactivity is much simpler in Processing, thus providing a much-needed visual approach to programming instruction in computer science as well as the arts and humanities. However, current books on Processing are either artistically oriented or proceed at a pace that is not really accessible for novices. This gentle introduction to computer programming using Processing includes the standard programming constructs, as well as examples that use animation and interactive graphics.

Both authors have taught and published extensively in the field and draw on state-of-the-art scientific research.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This textbook offers an introduction to the foundations of spectroscopic methods and provides a bridge between basic concepts and experimental applications in fields as diverse as materials science, biology, solar energy conversion, and environmental science. The author emphasizes the use of time-dependent theory to link the spectral response in the frequency domain to the behavior of molecules in the time domain, strengthened by two brand new chapters on nonlinear optical spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. Theoretical underpinnings are presented to the extent necessary for readers to understand how to apply spectroscopic tools to their own interests.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This will be the first book to provide the skills to raise fish in both a static water and a flowing water aquaculture system with a pragmatic and quantitative approach.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book develops a framework that shows how uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (AI) expands and generalizes traditional AI. It explores the uncertainties of knowledge and intelligence. The authors focus on the importance of natural language - the carrier of knowledge and intelligence, and introduce efficient physical methods for data mining amd control. In this new edition, we have more in-depth description of the models and methods, of which the mathematical properties are proved strictly which make these theories and methods more complete. The authors also highlight their latest research results.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Asphalt mixture specification is a black art. This guide to specification emphasises test methods to measure performance, their pros and cons, and properties to be tested for material use. Different properties are discussed in terms of: specification; test methods (primarily those in EN 12697); performance prediction; the levels achievable with different asphalt types; levels for various situations and pavement layers; and which other properties are adversely affected by enhanced performance. Sustainability and durability are addressed.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides critical reviews and the latest research results of various lightweight and sustainable materials in automotive applications. It discusses current applications and future trends of lightweight materials in the automotive area. This is the first book focusing on a broad spectrum of lightweight materials, including metal, plastic, composites, bio-fiber, bio-polymer, carbon fiber, glass fiber, nanomaterials, rubber materials, and foaming materials. The book also includes case studies of commercial lightweight automotive parts from sustainable lightweight materials, providing an invaluable resource to those involved in this in-demand research and commercialization area.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rock dynamics has become an important area in the field of rock mechanics and engineering. Related subjects include the failure of rocks and rock masses in the form of rockbursting, spalling, popping, collapse, toppling and sliding, blasting, non-destructive testing, geophysical explorations and more. The few existing publications on rock dynamics tend to cover rock mechanics and engineering under static conditions. Advances in experimental procedures and computational technology have led to new ways to deal with various aspects of rock dynamics. Thus, this treatise is timely and will include fundamentals, experimental and numerical techniques and their practical applications.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The H¿ control has been one of the important robust control approaches since the 1980s. This book extends the area to nonlinear stochastic H2/H¿ control, and studies more complex and practically useful mixed H2/H¿ controller synthesis rather than the pure H¿ control. Different from the commonly used convex optimization method, this book applies the Nash game approach to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the mixed H2/H¿ control. Researchers will benefit from our detailed exposition of the stochastic mixed H2/H¿ control theory, while practitioners can apply our efficient algorithms to address their practical problems.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marine environment can be affected by several pollutants such as the presence of elements and their chemical species, pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles and other emerging contaminants. Environmental monitoring can be assessed by genomics, proteomics (i.e. redox proteomics), chemical speciation analysis and metallomics, metabolomics as well as other advanced strategies. The present book is a useful methodological tool for researchers and specialists in the field of analytical chemistry, environmental sciences, biochemistry, genomics and toxicology. The book includes for the first time the methodological aspects and applications related to chemical speciation and -omics strategies applied to marine environment.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Neosporosis is a very important parasitic disease of animals, affecting the cattle industries and dog breeders worldwide. The global economic losses are estimated in billions from fetal death in cattle. The parasite has a wide host range, and it causes neurological disorders. There is no vaccine to prevent this infection. Neosporosis can be used as a model for other diseases that are transmitted from the mother to their fetuses. Knowledge of the biology of this parasite, the genome and gene functions of Neospora, the epidemiology and different aspects of immunology, and its diagnosis and control have grown dramatically. Neosporosis in Animals covers all these different aspects.

Furthermore, the book also gives a broad coverage of novel mechanisms of weed resistance to herbicides. More importantly, it includes next generation sequencing techniques and bioinformatics of herbicide resistant genes in weeds.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sustainability and the Rights of Nature: An Introduction is a much-needed guide that addresses the exciting and significant paradigm shift to the Rights of Nature, as it is occurring both in the United States and internationally in the fields of environmental law and environmental sustainability.
