Overview: State of the Art in Computer Graphics Aspects of Visualization This is the fourth volume derived from a State of . . . the Art in Computer Graphics Summer Institute. It represents a snapshot of a number of topics in computer graphics, topics which include visualization of scientific data; modeling; some aspects of visualization in virtual reality; and hardware architectures for visu­ alization. Many papers first present a background introduction to the topic, followed by discussion of current work in the topic. The volume is thus equally suitable for nonspecialists in a particular ar

In this book, the author has developed new methods for synthesizing medium-sized cycloalkenes by utilizing the 4π-electrocyclic reaction of fused-cyclobutenes. The fundamental and most important strategy and feature of the work are as follows: first, cyclobutene

Overview: Die Schalentheorie hat bereits eine hundertjährige Entwicklung hinter sich. Die Zeit (1888), als die grundlegende Arbeit der Schalentheorie [91] vom Autor als" ... eigentlich ein Versuch, die Vibration der Kirchenglocken zu untersuchen" verstanden wurde, ist längst vorbei. Die Theorie wurde zur Grundlage für die Analyse und Berechnung unzähli­ ger Konstruktionen im Maschinen-, Flugzeug- und Schiffbau sowie bei Flächentragwerken des Bauingenieurwesens. Dieser praktische Wert der Schalentheorie sicherte ihr einen Eh­ renplatz als wichtigen anwendungsbezogenen Teil der Theorie elastisch

Overview: Discusses control and optimization techniques in the broadest sense, covering new theoretical results and the applications of newly developed methods in PV systems.Goes beyond classical control techni.This book discusses control and optimization techniques in the broadest sense, covering new theoretical results and the applications of newly developed methods for PV systems. Going beyond classical control techniques, it promotes the use of more efficient control and optimization strategies based on linearized models and purely continuous (or discrete) models. These new strategies not

Overview: Provides an overview of the current state of research in the novel research field of social media and the armed forces.Presents perspectives on the subject of social media and armed forces, highlighti.Social media has fundamentally changed communication and interaction in today‘s society. Apart from being used by individuals, it is also omnipresent in public sector organisations such as the armed forces...This book examines the opportunities and risks associated with social media in the context of the armed forces from an international, social scientific perspective. It discuses the

Overview: Addresses the scheduling of parallel applications on heterogeneous distributed systems in theory and practice.Comprehensively studies real-time, low-energy and high-reliability scheduling constraints.This book focuses on scheduling algorithms for parallel applications on heterogeneous distributed systems, and addresses key scheduling requirements – high performance, low energy consumption, real time, and high reliability – from the perspectives of both theory and engineering practice. Further, it examines two typical application cases in automotive cyber-physical systems and cloud sy

Overview: Our environment is increasingly pervaded by embedded systems which are integrated into everyday objects, equipped with sensors and actuators, networked among each other and available at any time and in any location. These computationally augmented real-world objects must be supplied with context-awareness and need to share the perceived context-information to enable them to operate more autonomously...Clemens Holzmann investigates the role of spatial contexts for autonomous embedded systems, in particular the position, direction, and spatial extension of objects with respect to an ex

Overview: Represents the first account of Shakespeare’s artistry seen through the lens of blending.Appeals to scholars working in several disciplines, including Theatre, Literature, Language and Psychology.ProvThis book shows how Shakespeare’s excellence as storyteller, wit and poet reflects the creative process of conceptual blending. Cognitive theory provides a wealth of new ideas that illuminate Shakespeare, even as he illuminates them, and the theory of blending, or conceptual integration, strikingly corroborates and amplifies both classic and current insights of literary criticism.
