McGraw-Hill's Engineering Companion
2007-07-06 06:53:00
Ejup N. Ganic & Tyler G. Hicks (McGraw -Hill) "The scores of literature materials available to engineers of today are both vast and impressive. Specialized studies, textbooks, encyclopedias, pocket books of frequently used formulas, and collections of tables, data and conversion charts and, of course, handbooks clutter the bookshelves of libraries and homes. All of these serve a common purpose: to provide information or necessary solutions to problems various or specific. With the new McGraw-Hill’s Engineering Companion , we make a bold step toward adding yet another work to this well established list and an even bolder claim that this work will soon stand on a new list on its own: A list of one. How do we find the information we seek, the solution we need, without conducting a large survey through engineering literature? How do we allow engineers to work more on concepts and less on information quests? The scope of this book is defined precisely in answer to these needs. In one volume


Digital Multimedia Perception and Design
2007-07-06 06:42:00
Gheorghita Ghinea & Sherry Y. Chen (Idea Group Publishing) "Multimedia is an interdisciplinary, application-oriented technology that capitalizes on the multi-sensory nature of humans and the ability of computers to store, manipulate, and convey non-numerical information such as video, graphics, and audio in addition to numerical and textual information. Multimedia has the intrinsic goal of improving the effectiveness of computer-to-human interaction and, ultimately, of human-to-human communication. While the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community looks predominantly at the application layer and the telecommunications community at the lower end of the ISO OSI stack, little work has been published in bridging the gap between these two communities. Indeed, the human element is often neglected in Quality of Service (QoS) negotiation protocols. Not only does this have a negative and undesirable impact on the user’s experience of multimedia, it also discards the potential for more

ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Design
2007-07-06 04:18:00
Jay Schlickman (Artech House) "Without question, product quality is needed now as never before. Poor quality, especially in a world of globalization, equates to costs of nonconformance in the area of billions of dollars and, most importantly, oftentimes costs human life. The pursuit of product quality requires that an organization create a quality framework. The ISO 9001:2000 quality management system (QMS) is an internationally established quality framework. This book is designed to assist an organization to structure an ISO 9001:2000 QMS on some well-established documentation and implementation concepts that have been proven to be effective based on ten years of intensive consulting and auditing experiences with 106 ISO 9000–certified organizations. The intent of this exercise is to provide the reader with a reasonable probability of maximized organizational productivity when the ISO 9001:2000 system is implemented. The book’s objective is to establish an engineering design appro

Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents
2007-07-04 03:49:00
D. Hank Ellison (CRC Press) "At the height of the Gulf War conflict, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who had already used deadly chemical and biological warfare agents against the Kurdish population, threatens similar action against US troops. Years later, far removed from the theater of war, a dangerous chemical agent is released in a Japanese subway train, injuring dozens of passengers. Indeed, highly lethal nerve gases, vesicants and other hazardous chemical and biological agents may be the new weapons of choice among terrorist groups around the world - a threat that is now of paramount concern to emergency response teams. In his book, the Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents, author D. Hank Ellison provides all the information emergency response teams need to deal with lethal materials - from the physical appearance and symptoms of such agents, to their detection and removal, as well as the treatment of victims."

EW 102: A Second Course in Electronic Warfare
2007-07-04 03:48:00
David L. Adamy (Artech House) "This is the second book in the series, and like other books in that position it is intended to have stand-alone value–—but not be redundant with the first book (in this case, EW 101). Like the first book, this one collects the material presented in many months of EW 101 columns, organizes the material into chapters, and adds introductory and supplementary material for completeness–—so it reads like a book rather than a collection of columns. It also has a feature requested by many readers of both the book and the columns: Solved problems. This book comprises almost entirely new material that was not in the EW 101 book. The exceptions are the sections which provide additional scope to material covered in EW 101. In those cases, there is a brief overview of the relevant EW 101 material. The subjects covered in the rest of the book are: • Chapter 2: Threats, from a functional and signal point of view. EW 101 talked about threats in context, but nev

Computational Biochemistry and Biophysics
2007-06-21 09:47:00
Edited by Oren M. Becker, Alexander D. MacKerell, Jr., Benoit Roux & Masakatsu Watanabe (Marcel Dekker) "In recent years the significant increase in computer power along with the implementation of a wide range of theoretical methods into sophisticated simulation programs have greatly expanded the applicability of computational approaches to biological systems. The expansion is such that interesting applications to important and complex biomolecular systems are now often carried out by researchers with no special training in computational methodologies. To successfully apply computational approaches to their systems of interest, these ‘‘nonspecialists’’ must make several important choices about the proper methods and techniques for the particular question that they are trying to address. We believe that a good understanding of the theory behind the myriad of computational methods and techniques can help in this process. Therefore, one of this book’s aims is to provide readers

Anatomy of a Robot
2007-06-21 09:32:00
Charles M. Bergren (McGraw-Hill) "The book is divided into chapters that deal with monolithic subjects like computer hardware, computer software, digital signal processing (DSP), communications, power, and control systems. It is my hope that readers will find these individual subjects compelling enough to pursue them further. In each chapter, I’ve included URLs for web sites that explain the technologies in more depth. The Web can be a great place to obtain a continuing education. Chapter 1 covers project management. More robots bite the dust for a lack of management discipline than any other reason. Building robots is much like going into battle. You can do great damage coming straight out of the gate and swinging swords, but it takes planning to make sure only the enemy gets cut. The chapter outlines how to approach a robot project from the outset. It includes development process flowcharts, checklists, and lots of tips. Robot s are not built; they are born.

Yoghurt: Science and Technology, Second Edition
2007-06-21 09:30:00
A. Y. Tamime & R. K. Robinson (Woodhead Publishing Limited) "Yoghurt: science and technology is a standard work in its field for industry professionals and those involved in applied research. Because manufacture is still, essentially, a natural biological process, it remains difficult to control the quality of the final product. Such control depends on a thorough understanding of the nature of yoghurt and both the biochemical changes and process technologies involved in production. Yoghurt: science and technology provides just such an understanding. Since the last edition the industry has been transformed by the introduction of mild-tasting 'bio-yoghurts', changing both consumer markets and manufacturing practices. The new edition has been comprehensively revised to take on board this and other major changes in the industry, including new technological developments such as the production of strained yoghurt by ultrafiltration, and the latest advances in machanisation and automation."

The MPEG Handbook - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4
2007-06-21 09:28:00
John Watkinson (Focal Press) "This book completely revises the earlier book entitled MPEG-2. It is an interesting insight into the rate at which this technology progresses that this book was in preparation only a year after MPEG-2 was first published. The impetus for the revision is, of course, MPEG-4 which is comprehensively covered here. The opportunity has also been taken to improve a number of explanations and to add a chapter on applications of MPEG. The approach of the book has not changed in the slightest. Compression is a specialist subject with its own library of specialist terminology which is generally accompanied by a substantial amount of mathematics. I have always argued that mathematics is only a form of shorthand, itself a compression technique! Mathematics describes but does not explain, whereas this book explains and then describes. A chapter of fundamentals is included to make the main chapters easier to follow. Also included are some guidelines which have been found

Beer: Tap into the Art and Science of Brewing, Second Edition
2007-06-21 09:24:00
Charles Bamforth (Oxford University Press) "This book is not an exercise in trying to convince you, the reader, of the merits and demerits of drinking beer. I assume that as you have picked it up, and are starting to read, you have an existing interest in beer. The aim of this book is to give the nonspecialist a feel for the science and technology that underpin a truly international beverage. I use the word “international,” accepting that to do justice to the entire world of beer would have demanded more than a single volume. Markets differ considerably from country to country, but the scientific principles of brewing are constant the world over. It is the science and the technology about which I particularly wish to inform the reader, for the processes involved in the brewing of beer are as fascinating as they are, in some ways, unique. I have several audiences in mind for this book. First, and perhaps foremost, are the laypeople who want to know, in reader-friendly terms, what go

A Practical Guide to Video and Audio Compression: From Sprockets and Rasters to Macro Blocks
2007-06-21 09:17:00
Cliff Wootton (Focal Press) "The last few years have been an extraordinary time for the digital video industry. Not long before the turn of the millennium, digital video editing systems were expensive capital items of equipment that only major broadcasters and production companies could afford. To think that now the same capability is available in a laptop that you can buy off the shelf and it comes with the software for something in the region of $1200 is amazing. This is a capability we have dreamed about having on our desktops for 15 years. The price of the hardware and software needed to run an entire TV broadcast service is now within the reach of any organization or individual who cares to get involved. Recall the boom in publishing that happened when the Apple LaserWriter was launched with Adobe PostScript contained inside and those early page composition programs enhanced what we were able to do with Word version 1 or MacWrite.

Essential Mathematical Skills for Engineering, Science and Applied Mathematics
2007-06-21 07:22:00
Steven Ian Barry & Stephen Alan Davis (UNSW Press) "There are certain mathematical skills that are essential for any of your courses that use mathematics. Your lecturer will assume that you know them perfectly - not just a vague idea, but that you have completely mastered these skills. Without these necessary skills, you will find present and later subjects extremely difficult. You may also lose too many marks making 'silly' mistakes in exams. So what skills do you need to have? This book contains the mathematical skills we think are essential for you to not only know but remember. It is not a textbook and does not attempt to teach you, hence there are no long wordy explanations. This book should act as a reminder to you of material you have already learned. If you are having trouble with a section or chapter then we suggest you consult a more thorough textbook. We have left a number of blank pages at the back of the book for you to add in skills that you or your lecturers think are
