Image recognition and classification is one of the most actively pursued areas in the broad field of imaging sciences and engineering. The reason is evident: the ability to replace human visual capabilities with a machine is very important and there are diverse applications. The main idea is to inspect an image scene by processing data obtained from sensors. Such machines can substantially reduce the workload and improve accuracy of making decisions by human operators in diverse fields including the military and defense, biomedical engineering systems, health monitoring, surgery, intelligent transportation systems, manufacturing, robotics, entertainment, and security systems.

Using database-driven web pages or web content management (WCM) systems to manage increasingly diverse web content and to streamline workflows is a commonly practiced solution recognized in libraries to-day. However, limited library web content management models and funding constraints prevent many libraries from purchasing commercially available WCM systems. And, the lack of much needed technical expertise in building in-house WCM systems presents a great challenge for libraries of all types. Content and Workflow Management for Library Websites: Case Studies book provides practical and applicable web content management solutions through case studies. It contains successful database-to-web applications as employed in a variety of academic libraries. The applications vary in scope and cover a range of practical how-to-do-it examples from database-driven web development, locally created web content management systems, systems for distributing content management responsibilities, dynamic content delivery, to open source tools, such as MySQL and PHP to manage the content. Issues and challenges associated with the development process are discussed. Authors will also discuss detours, sand traps, and missteps necessary to a real learning process.

The importance of partial differential equations among the topics of applied mathematics bas been recognized for many years. However, the increasing complexity of today's technology is demanding of the mathematician, the engineer, and the scientist an understanding of the subject previously attained only by specialists. This book is intended to serve as a supplemental or primary text for a course aimed at providing this understanding. It has been organized so as to provide a helpful reference for the practicing professional, as well. After the introductory Chapter 1, the book is divided into three parts. Part I, consisting of Chapters 2 through 5, is devoted primarily to qualitative aspects of the subject. Chapter 2 discusses the classification of problems, while Chapters 3 and 4 characterize the behavior of solutions to elliptic boundary value problems and evolution equations, respectively. Chapter 5 focuses on hyperbolic systems of equations of order one.

The subject of electronic and ionic materials has grown rapidly over the last 20 to 30 years. The application of these materials has had a significant impact on modern industries and on society in general. The subject is so important that no electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, applied physics or chemistry degree would be complete without it. This valuable textbook is aimed at engineering and technology undergraduates who have a background in physics or chemistry only at first year level. It provides a basic understanding of the properties and uses of a wide range of electrically and ionically conducting materials. It is not intended to be a solid state physics or chemistry book, and so the mathematics is kept to a minimum. However, it is intended to give the student an overview of a wide range of electrical materials and their uses in today's society.

In 1980, Ellis Horwood Ltd (with John Wiley & Sons, Ltd) were the publishers of a book entitled Metal and Metalloid Amides, by M. F. Lappert, P. P. Power, A. R. Sanger and R. C. Srivastava. This comprehensive treatise, which gathered together for the first time information on this important subject, is still occasionally referenced: for example, there have been more than 10 citations per annum in the major American Chemical Society journals during 2003–2007. However, the intervening three decades (from 1980) have witnessed a massive interest in the area, as evident in the more than 3000 papers; and to bring the subject up to date was a substantial undertaking. The present volume arose from discussions during the end of 2004 with the late Ellis Horwood, who urged us to take up this challenge. Two of us (MFL and PPP, with our respective research groups; we thank our able collaborators for their contributions) have continued to publish extensively in the area. MFL and PPP were fortunate to have dedicated colleagues AVP (at Sussex) and ALS (at Davis) to join in this enterprise and to have the encouragement of Paul Deards, Richard Davies and their colleagues especially Nicole Elliott of John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester.

This book examines the construction, principles of operation, and calculation of hydraulic power systems. Special attention is paid to building a solid theoretical background in the subject, which should enable the reader to go on to further study and analysis of the static and dynamic performance of the different fluid power elements and systems. In addition to theory, the book includes case studies of typical construction elements of hydraulic power systems. These elements are categorized, and the special features of their design and performance are discussed.

Put simply, the Oracle CBO is a mathematical model; you feed it inputs (queries, statistics), and it produces outputs (query plans). In order to use the CBO successfully, it is critical that you understand what these inputs are and how the CBO uses them. Consider the following question, one that I’ve tried to answer many times: What is the best way to collect statistics, what statistics should I gather? Seems simple enough, very straightforward—there should be an answer and there is, but it is no “one size fits all” answer. It depends on your circumstances, your data distribution, your queries, the type of system you have (transactional, data warehouse)—a whole host of factors—and it is only through an understanding of how the CBO works and of how these factors affect the CBO that you’ll be able to answer the question for yourself.

Nature has long used nucleic acid aptamers and enzymes for regulatory activities, such as the recently discovered "riboswitches" involved in gene expression. The existence of a large array of natural and artificial functional nucleic acids has generated tremendous enthusiasm and new opportunities for molecular scientists from diverse disciplines to devise new concepts and real applications that take advantage of those nucleic acids for sensing and other analytical applications. This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field, from leading experts in biology, chemistry, and engineering. A variety of topics are covered, from fundamentals of functional nucleic acids, to their applications as sensors, to nanotechnologies; as well as integration of functional nucleic acids into practical analytical systems.
