Overview: Finally, Moulin considers the problem of forming radar images under a diffuse-target statistical model. His estimation approach includes application of the maximum-likelihood principle and a regularization procedure based on wavelet representations. In addition, he shows that the radar imaging problem can be seen as a problem of inference on the wavelet coefficients of an image corrupted by additive noise. The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum in which researchers from the fields of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering who work on problems of signif

Overview: How can an airplane weighing many tons stay aloft for many hours, flying so smoothly that the passengers may feel less like they are moving than they would in a car? The answer, of course, lies in the wings and the air they are moving through, and the study of the flow of air around airplane wings is part of the science of aerodynamics. This book is about aerodynamics in the broadest sense. In addition to airplanes, it discusses the aerodynamics of cars and birds, and the motion of diverse object thorugh air and water. The fundamental notions of mechanics and fluid dynamics -- that i

Overview: This unconventional book addresses the imbalance of power between countries that give and receive funds for international financial development, with particular attention to the outcomes and impacts of this imbalance on recipient countries. It provides an in-depth analysis of the perceptions that population segments of recipient countries have of the power plays inherent in giving and receiving financial assistance, delving deep into the factors that affect these perceptions to examine how and why developed countries wield power over countries receiving financial assistance. While th

Overview: Dank der Vielzahl ihrer differenzierten Fertigungsverfahren hat die Schweiß­ technik sich heute nach stürmischer Entwicklung während der letzten drei Jahr­ zehnte einen festen Platz in der industriellen Fertigung gesichert. An ihren Erfolgen hat die elektrische Widerstandsschweißung einen bedeutenden Anteil. Während die elektrische Lichtbogenschweißung sowohl bei der Einzelfertigung als auch bei der Massenfertigung verwendet wird, ist das Hauptanwendungsgebiet der elektrischen Widerstandsschweißung - bis auf wenige Ausnahmen - die Massenfertigung. Hierbei erzielt sie gegenüber andere

Overview: How wetland biodiversity as well as wetland ecosystem goods and services can be enhanced by management decisions.Includes supplementary material: The two volumes on “Wetlands as a Natural Resource” in the book series Ecological th Studies (Volumes 190,191) are based on the highlights of the 7 INTECOL International Wetland Conference in Utrecht,25–30 July 2004. This conference brought together about 900 participants from 61 countries,who discussed a very broad range of science-,poli- and management-oriented issues related to wetland ecology and hydrology, wetland conservation and crea

Overview: hot topic with ongoing research; book covers the latest developments.written by top-notch researchers in the field.first monograph of a series in the area of clean energy.Includes supplementary materiA major global issue that the world is facing today is the upcoming depletion of fossil fuels and the energy crisis. In 1998, the global annual energy consumption was 12. 7 TW; of which 80% was generated from fossil fuels. This also translates into huge annual emissions of CO that leads to massive environmental problems, 2 particularly the global warming, which could be disastrous. Futur

Overview: With a chapter by Julia Phillipson This book examines the paradox that power and control of personal social service organisations are retained by men, even though caring and support roles are overwhelmingly in the hands of women. The book discusses what can be done by women and men to stop this resulting waste of women‘s talents. The themes of care and control are central to this book. Patterns of men‘s and women‘s careers and the common problems faced by women managers are discussed; management style is looked at; power and its use and abuse (often problematic for women) is explored

This statement clearly explains that the Semantic Web is about data sharing. Currently, the Web uses hyperlinks to connect Web pages. The Semantic Web goes beyond that and focuses on data and envisi

Overview: The past few years have seen the emergence of a growing, widespread desire in this country, and indeed everywhere, that positive actions be taken to restore the quality of our environment, and to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, noise, solid waste, and water. Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, if there is no waste, there can be no pollution, and the seemingly idealistic demand for "zero discharge" can be construed as a demand for zero waste. However, as long as there is waste, we can only attempt to abate the consequent p
