Overview: The scope of the present book is to offer the most efficient tools for the vectorization of serial computer programs. Here, by vectorization we understand the adaptation of computer programs to the special architecture of modern available vector computers to exploit fully their potential, which will often result in remarkable performance improvements. The book is written primarily for users working in the various fields of computational physics, for scientists as well as for programmers running their jobs on a vector computer. The text may, however, also be of value to those who are

Overview: Offers a unique focus on the rhetorical arguments at the core of the veg(etari)an debate.Provides an international reach with contributions by scholars from the U.S, Canada, Israel and the U.K.Explore.This collection explores the arguments related to veg(etari)anism as they play out in the public sphere and across media, historical eras, and geographical areas. As vegan and vegetarian practices have gradually become part of mainstream culture, stemming from multiple shifts in the socio-political, cultural, and economic landscape, discursive attempts to both legitimize and delegitimiz

Overview: Complete overview of problems related with height systemsThe Symposium on Vertical Reference Systems (VeReS) was initiated on the occasion of the XXII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), Birmingham 1999, by Professor Dr. Wolfgang Torge, Past President of the International Association of Geodesy (lAG) and representative of lAG to the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH). The idea was to organise another joint symposium of lAG and PAIGH like the previous one held during the XX IUGG General Assembly at Vienna, Austria, in 1991

Overview: Provides a graphical analysis of period- and cohort-effects in mortality.Offers readers a visual understanding of how mortality changes dynamically.Accompanied by instructions on how to use the R SoftThis book visualizes mortality dynamics in the Lexis diagram. While the standard approach of plotting death rates is also covered, the focus in this book is on the depiction of rates of mortality improvement over age and time. This rather novel approach offers a more intuitive understanding of the underlying dynamics, enabling readers to better understand whether period- or cohort-effect

Overview: A comprehensive overview of the field.Includes a survey of cutting-edge, interactive Information Visualization techniques for time-oriented data.Researchers, students and practitioners will benefit fr.Time is an exceptional dimension that is common to many application domains such as medicine, engineering, business, or science. Due to the distinct characteristics of time, appropriate visual and analytical methods are required to explore and analyze them. .This book starts with an introduction to visualization and historical examples of visual representations. At its core, the book pr

Overview: Most recent volume from the VLSI.C Conference Series”This book contains extended and revised versions of the best papers that were presented during the fourteenth edition of the IFIP TC10/WG10.5 International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration, a global System-on-a-Chip Design & CAD conference. The 14th conference was held at the Hotel Boscolo, Nice, France (October 16-18, 2006). Previous conferences have taken place in Edinburgh, Trondheim, Vancouver, Munich, Grenoble, Tokyo, Gramado, Lisbon, Montpellier, Darmstadt and Perth. The purpose of this conference, sponsored by IFIP

Overview: In the framework of the "Annee non lineaire" (the special nonlinear year) sponsored by the C.N.R.S. (the French National Center for Scien­ tific Research), a meeting was held in Paris in June 1988. It took place in the Conference Hall of the Ministere de la Recherche and had as an organizing theme the topic of "Variational Problems." Nonlinear analysis has been one of the leading themes in mathemat­ ical research for the past decade. The use of direct variational methods has been particularly successful in understanding problems arising from physics and geometry. The growth of nonlin
