The information age is exploding around us,
giving us access to dizzying amounts of data the instant it becomes available.
Smart phones and tablets provide an untethered experience that offers stream-
ing video, audio, and other media formats to just about any place on the planet.
Even people who ar ...
In the seven years since the first edition of this book was completed, Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) phenomena in integrated circuits (IC) continues to be important
as technologies shrink and the speed and size of the chips increases. The phenom-
ena related to ESD events in semiconductor devices ta ...
In writing this text my intention was to collect together in a single place
practical predictive modeling techniques, ideas and strategies that have been
proven to work but which are rarely taught in business schools, data science
courses or contained in any other single text.
The author of this textbook intends to consider all stages of the life cycle of the
energy resources: extraction of mineral energy resources and mastering for power
engineering renewable energy, transportation of mineral energy raw materials to the
place of consumption, the conversion of primary ene ...
A revolution in power industries, including generation, transmission and distribution, driven by
environmental and economic considerations, is taking place all over the world. The smart grid allows for
integration of diverse generation and storage options, reduced losses, improved efficiencies, incr ...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the technology behind the pico-solar revolution
and offers guidance on how to test and choose quality products. The book also discusses how
pioneering companies and initiatives are overcoming challenges to reach scale in the market-
place, from innovati ...
The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys-
ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed
for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the-
ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice ...
Striking developments have taken place since 1980 in feedback control theory. The subject has be-
come both more rigorous and more applicable. The rigor is not for its own sake, but rather that even
in an engineering discipline rigor can lead to clarity and to methodical solutions to problems. The
a ...
Computer science as an academic discipline began in the 1960’s. Emphasis was on
programming languages, compilers, operating systems, and the mathematical theory that
supported these areas. Courses in theoretical computer science covered finite automata,
regular expressions, context-free languages, ...
