| A Beginner's Guide To Mathematica / David McMahon Because of its large command structure and intricate syntax, Mathematica can be difficult to learn. Wolfram's Mathematica manual, while certainly comprehensive, is so large and complex that when trying to learn the software from scratch -- or find answers to specific questions -- one can be quickly overwhelmed.

| A Concise Introduction to Image Processing using C++/ Meiqing Wang and Choi-Hong Lai Image recognition has become an increasingly dynamic field with new and emerging civil and military applications in security, exploration, and robotics. Written by experts in fractal-based image and video compression, A Concise Introduction to Image Processing using C++ strengthens your knowledge of fundamentals principles in image acquisition, con... | 4/19/2016 | Meiqing Wang Choi Hong Lai | ||
| A Course on Queueing Models / Joti Lal Jain, Sri Gopal Mohanty The application of engineering principles in divergent fields such as management science and communications as well as the advancement of several approaches in theory and computation have led to growing interest in queueing models, creating the need for a comprehensive text. Emphasizing Markovian structures and the techniques that occur in differen... | 4/19/2016 | Jain, Joti Lal Mohanty, Sri Gopal | ||
| A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control /Hung T. Nguyen, Nadipuram R. Prasad Although the use of fuzzy control methods has grown nearly to the level of classical control, the true understanding of fuzzy control lags seriously behind. Moreover, most engineers are well versed in either traditional control or in fuzzy control-rarely both. Each has applications for which it is better suited, but without a good understanding of ... | 11/12/2002 | Nguyen, Hung T. Prasad, Nadipuram R. | ||
| A Framework for Complex System Development / Adamsen II, Paul B. Industry, government, and academic efforts to create a generalized systems engineering process have repeatedly fallen short. The outcome? Systems engineering failures that produce losses like the September 1999 destruction of the Mars Climate Orbiter. A simple information transfer error between teams motivated far-reaching managerial and technical ... | 5/31/2000 | Adamsen II, Paul B. | ||
| A Guide to Field Instrumentation in Geotechnics /Richard Bassett Geotechnical instrumentation is used for installation, monitoring and assessment on any sizeable project, particularly in urban areas, and is used for recording, controlled remedial work, and safety.
This unique and up-to-date book deals with the conceptual philosophy behind the use of instruments, and then systematically covers their practical ... | 2/7/2012 | Bassett, Richard | ||
| A Guide to Human Factors and Ergonomics/Martin Helander Completely revised and updated, A Guide to Human Factors and Ergonomics, Second Edition presents a comprehensive introduction to the field. Building on the foundation of the first edition, titled Guide to Ergonomics of Manufacturing, the new title reflects the expanded range of coverage and applicability of the techniques you will find in the secon... | 12/16/2005 | Helander, Martin | ||
| A Kalman Filter Prime/ Randall L. Eubank System state estimation in the presence of noise is critical for control systems, signal processing, and many other applications in a variety of fields. Developed decades ago, the Kalman filter remains an important, powerful tool for estimating the variables in a system in the presence of noise. However, when inundated with theory and vast notation... | 11/29/2005 | Eubank, Randall L. | ||
| A New Approach to Sediment Transport in the Design and Operation of Irrigation Canals /Herman Depeweg The transport of sediment greatly influences the sustainability of an irrigation system. Erosion and deposition not only increase maintenance costs, but may result in an inequitable and inadequate distribution of irrigation water. Understanding the behaviour and transport of sediment allows efficient planning and reliable water delivery schedules, | 4/5/2007 | Depeweg, Herman | ||
| A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers/ Hang T. Lau At last researchers have an inexpensive library of Java-based numeric procedures for use in scientific computation. The first and only book of its kind, A Numeric Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers is a translation into Java of the library NUMAL (NUMerical procedures in ALgol 60).
This groundbreaking text presents procedural descripti... | 8/27/2003 | Lau, Hang T. | ||
| A Practical Guide to Boundary Element Methods with the Software Library BEMLIB /C. Pozrikidis The boundary-element method is a powerful numerical technique for solving partial differential equations encountered in applied mathematics, science, and engineering. The strength of the method derives from its ability to solve with notable efficiency problems in domains with complex and possibly evolving geometry where traditional methods can be d... | 5/15/2002 | Pozrikidis, C. | ||
| A Practical Guide to Microstructural Analysis of Cementitious Materials / Karen Scrivener, Ruben Snellings, et al._ A Practical Guide from Top-Level Industry Scientists
As advanced teaching and training in the development of cementitious materials increase, the need has emerged for an up-to-date practical guide to the field suitable for graduate students and junior and general practitioners.
Get the Best Use of Different Techniques and Interpretations of t... | ??/1/ | 10/9/2018 | Scrivener, Karen Snellings, Ruben | |
| Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers Theory, Design and Application / Trevor J. Cox This book contains information obtained from authentic and highly regarded sources. Reasonable efforts have been made to publish reliable data and information, but the author and publisher cannot assume responsibility for the validity of all materials or the consequences of their use. The authors and publishers have attempted to trace the copyright... | 10/9/2017 | 1/1/2017 | J Cox, Trevor D’Antonio, Peter | |
| Age factors in biometric processing As biometrics-based identification and identity authentication become increasingly widespread in their deployment, it becomes correspondingly important to consider more carefully issues relating to reliability, usability and inclusion. One factor which is particularly important in this context is that of the relationship between the nature of the m... | 5/3/2018 | 1/1/2014 | Fairhurst Michael | |

| Application of Fuzzy Set Theory in Flexible Manufacturing System Design In design of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS), different combinations of scheduling rules can be
applied to its simulation model. Each combination satisfies a very limited number of performance measures
(PM). Evaluation of scheduling rules is an inevitable task for any scheduler. This chapter explains a
framework for evaluation of schedulin... | 10/1/2018 | 1/1/2001 | Jun Wang | |
| Application of Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing in Process Planning Optimization Process planning represents the link between engineering design and shop floor manufacturing. More
specifically, it is the function within a manufacturing facility that establishes the processes and process
parameters to be used in order to convert a piece-part from its original form to a final form that is
specified on a detailed engineering dr... | 10/1/2018 | 1/1/2001 | Jun Wang | |
| Applications in Intelligent Manufacturing An Updated Survey Neural networks are composed of many massively connected simple neurons. Resembling more or less
