Written for a wide audience, this book is not a manifesto for the twenty-first century. It is more of an invitation than a blueprin

Overview: Many emerging technologies such as video conferencing,video-on-demand, and digital libraries require the efficient deliveryof compressed video streams. For applications that require thedelivery of compressed stored multimedia streams, the a prioriknowledge available about these compressed streams can aid in theallocation of server and network resources. By using a client-sidebuffer, the resource requirements from the server and network can beminimized. . .Buffering Techniques for Delivery of CompressedVideo in Video-on-Demand. .Systems. presents a comprehensivedescription of bufferin

Overview: Der Band BASIC für Fortgeschrittene in der Reihe Programmieren von Mikrocomputern ist ein Aufbauband zum Grundlagenbuch Einführung in BASIC in der gleichen Buch­ reihe vom selben Autor. Es richtet sich aber auch an diejenigen Leser, die Grundkennt­ nisse in der Programmiersprache BASIC besitzen und ihre Kenntnisse in speziellen Be­ reichen erweitern möchten. Aus der Vielzahl der möglichen Einsatzbereiche der Programmiersprache BASIC wurden möglichst allgemein interessierende Bereiche ausgewählt, wie z.B. die ~extverarbeitung in BASIC, die Verarbeitung von logischen (Booleschen) Größe

Overview: Membranes playa central role in our daily life, or as indicated by one of my foreign colleagues, Richard Bowen, ‘If you are tired of membranes, you are tired of life‘ . Biological membranes are hardly used in industrial applications, but separations with synthetic membranes have become increasingly important. Today, membrane processes are used in a wide range of applications and their numbers will certainly increase. Therefore, there is a need for well educated and qualified engineers, chemists, scientists and technicians who have been taught the basic principles of membrane technolo
