Visual Texture

Visual Texture

This book surveys the state of the art in multidimensional, physically-correct visual texture modeling. Features: reviews the entire process of texture synthesis, including material appearance representation, measurement, analysis, compression, modeling, editing, visualization, and perceptual evaluation; explains the derivation of the most common representations of visual texture, discussing their properties, advantages, and limitations; describes a range of techniques for the measurement of visual texture, including BRDF, SVBRDF, BTF and BSSRDF; investigates the visualization of textural information, from texture mapping and mip-mapping to illumination- and view-dependent data interpolation; examines techniques for perceptual validation and analysis, covering both standard pixel-wise similarity measures and also methods of visual psychophysics; reviews the applications of visual textures, from visual scene analysis in medical applications, to high-quality visualizations in the automotive industry.

Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping and Monitoring

Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping and Monitoring

This book provides foundational knowledge of intraoperative monitoring (IOM) and is written for the range of clinicians who monitor the function of the nervous system during surgery, from new technologists to neurophysiologists and neurosurgeons. Early chapters describe the building blocks of IOM in accessible terms and are followed by practical chapters on monitoring and mapping that show basic and clinical science in action. Anesthesiologists and trainees with an interest in diagnosing and managing pain will appreciate the inclusion of chapters on the electrophysiological assessment of spinal cord pathology and on the treatment of pain.

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics

This is a textbook for a two-semester graduate course in Mathematical Methods in Physics. Most universities give this course, which is often taught jointly with the Engineering or Mathematics Departments. General topics include: group theory, linear equations, matrices, series, functions of complex variables, conformal mapping, special functions, and partial differential equations. Each chapter has numerous homework problems. The section on transforms includes those on Fourier and Laplace, as well as the modern topic of wavelets. The chapters on partial differential equations include: Laplace’s, Poisson’s, Helmholtz, diffusion, and wave equations. Problems are treated in one, two, and three dimensions.

Pro Active Record

Pro Active Record

Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications. ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so powerful and easy to use, is the model element of the Rails Model-View-Controller framework. It’s an object-relational mapping library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails applications.

Migrating to Windows Phone

Migrating to Windows Phone

It focuses on the 75 percent of the material that you will need 95 percent of the time. We’re not going to teach you object-oriented , (OOP) all over again, but we are going to take the time to point out how , and C# differ in their execution of the standard OOP concepts from other languages’ implementations in order to make your migration as smooth and stress-free as possible.,

Migrating to , Phone will lead you through a tour of the key features of developing for Microsoft’s devices. We’ll consider everything from data handling to accelerometers, from mapping to WCF. We’ll also walk you through monetizing your application through Microsoft’s online Windows Phone store.

Just Spring Data Access

Just Spring Data Access

JDBC has simplified database access in , applications, but a few nagging wrinkles remain – namely, persisting Java objects to relational databases. With this book, you’ll learn how the , , makes that job incredibly easy with dependency injection, template classes, and object-relational-mapping (ORM).,

Through sample code, you’ll discover how Spring streamlines the use of JDBC and ORM tools such as Hibernate, the Java Persistence API (JPA), and Java Data Objects (JDO). If you’re a Java developer familiar with Spring and want to advance your data access skills, this book shows you how.
