Lighting, display and opto-electronics industries face the challenge of using more durable, energy-efficient, cost-effective and environmentally safe phosphors to meet their increasingly creative applications in everyday devices, such as TV screens, electronic billboards, computer monitors and portable electronics. "Inorganic Phosphors: ...
Maximizing the potential of RNA interference in functional genomics - as well as in the development of therapeutics - continues to be at the forefront of biomedical research. Unlike journal articles, Gene Silencing by RNA Interference: Technology and Application combines essential background to the RNAi field with practical techniques designed by ...
This book unifies and extends latent variable models, including multilevel or generalized linear mixed models, longitudinal or panel models, item response or factor models, latent class or finite mixture models, and structural equation models. Following a gentle introduction to latent variable modeling, the authors clearly explain and contrast a ...
Multivariate methods are now widely used in the quantitative sciences as well as in statistics because of the ready availability of computer packages for performing the calculations. While access to suitable computer software is essential to using multivariate methods, using the software still requires a working knowledge of these methods and how ...
Rapid advances in recording materials, read/write heads, and mechanical designs over the last 15 years have led to the need for more complicated signal processing, coding, and modulation algorithms for the hard disk drive 'read channel'. Today, the challenges in implementing new architectures and designs for the read channel have been pushed to ...
While most books on the subject present material only on sensors and actuators, hardware and simulation, or modeling and control, Mechatronics: An Integrated Approach presents all of these topics in a single, unified volume from which users with a variety of engineering backgrounds can benefit. The integrated approach emphasizes the design and ...
In "Offshore Software Development: Making It Work", hands-on managers of Offshore solutions help you answer these questions: what is Offshore and why is it an IT imperative; what do you need to do to successfully evaluate an Offshore solution; how do you avoid common pitfalls; how do you confront security and geopolitical risk; and, how do you ...
The modern dependence upon information technology and the corresponding information security regulations and requirements force companies to evaluate the security of their core business processes, mission critical data, and supporting IT environment. Combine this with a slowdown in IT spending resulting in justifications of every purchase, and ...
Major advances in modeling methods and the computing power required to make them viable have led to major breakthroughs in our ability to model water waves. Problems that were once intractable - such as modeling the 1958 Lituya Bay event - have now been solved. The time has come to incorporate into one resource the modern techniques and tools of ...
