Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Für das vorliegende Sachbuch ist der 'Diesel-Skandal' der Auslöser zu informieren, über die Automobile von heute und morgen, über ihre Antriebe, die Elektromobilität, das Autonome Fahren, die Schadstoffe und den Klimaschutz.Die Aufregung vieler Menschen nehmen die beiden Autoren zum Anlass, mit manchen Meinungen, Ideologien, Vorurteilen und Zukunftsängsten aufzuräumen. In allgemein verständlicher, lockerer Form stellen sie die Hintergründe und Fakten des Autos und seiner Antriebe dar. Dieser Leitfaden kann unseren Mitmenschen, den Entscheidungsträgern und Meinungsmachern eine wertvolle Hilfe sein: Wie sieht die Autowelt im Jahre 2030 aus.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book presents the most up-to-date coverage of procedural content generation (PCG) for games, specifically the procedural generation of levels, landscapes, items, rules, quests, or other types of content. Each chapter explains an algorithm type or domain, including fractal methods, grammar-based methods, search-based and evolutionary methods, constraint-based methods, and narrative, terrain, and dungeon generation.The authors are active academic researchers and game developers, and the book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students of courses on games and creativity; game developers who want to learn new methods for content generation; and researchers in related areas of artificial intelligence and computational intelligence. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book describes important recent developments in fiber optic sensor technology and examines established and emerging applications in a broad range of fields and markets, including power engineering, chemical engineering, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and environmental monitoring. Particular attention is devoted to niche applications where fiber optic sensors are or soon will be able to compete with conventional approaches. Beyond novel methods for the sensing of traditional parameters such as strain, temperature, and pressure, a variety of new ideas and concepts are proposed and explored. The significance of the advent of extended infrared sensors is discussed, and individual chapters focus on sensing at THz frequencies and optical sensing based on photonic crystal structures. Another important topic is the resonances generated when using thin films in conjunction with optical fibers, and the enormous potential of sensors based on lossy mode resonances, surface plasmonresonances, and long-range surface exciton polaritons. Detailed attention is also paid to fiber Bragg grating sensors and multimode interference sensors.Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the subject under discussion.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -As with the first edition, the second edition of this book covers the surgical anatomy of the abdominal wall, pathology of abdominal wall defects, such as hernias, enterocutaneous or entero-atmospheric fistulae, and indications for and surgical techniques used to reconstruct the abdominal wall from the practical stand point. In addition, through a number of illustrations, the placement of mesh in the abdominal wall reconstruction as well as manipulations of patient's tissue including lateral compartment release techniques and other tissue transfer techniques are described in detail. The text also covers reconstruction of complex contaminated abdominal wall defects in patients with complex enteric fistulae, stomas, defects created after the excision of previously placed infected prosthetic mesh, and defects associated with acute tissue loss after severe trauma or necrosis of abdominal wall such as necrotizing soft tissue infections. Complex abdominal wall defects in the pediatric population and long-term outcomes and durability of these repairs are also addressed. The second edition of Surgery of Complex Abdominal Wall Defects is written by experts in their respective areas from around the world and has been updated thoroughly. As with the first edition, it will continue to serve as a guide for current practice for surgeons, including general, trauma, acute care, plastic and reconstructive surgeons. 276 pp. Englisch.…
