Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB

Statistics is concerned with the science of uncertainty and can help the scientist deal with these questions. Many classical methods (regression, hypothesis testing, parameter estimation, confidence intervals, etc.) of statistics developed over the last century are familiar to scientists and are widely used in many disciplines [Efron and Tibshirani, 1991]. Now, what do we mean by computational…

Neural Network Programming with Java

This book is targeted at both developers and enthusiasts who have a basic or even no Java programming knowledge. No previous knowledge of neural networks is required, this book will teach from scratch. Even if you are familiar with neural networks and/or other machine learning techniques but have little or no experience with Java, this book will take you to the level at which you will be able t…

OBJECT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE COMPOSITION

Modern software systems are increasingly required to be open and distributed. Such systems are open not in terms of network connections and interoperability support heterogeneous hardware and software platforms, but, above all, in terms of evolving and changing requirements.

Algorithmic Game Theory

We consider some classical games and show how they can arise in the context of the internet. We also introduce some of the basic solution concepts of game theory for studying such games, and some computational issues that arise for these concepts.

Objective-C for Absolute Beginners

This book assumes you may have never programmed before. The book is also written for someone who may have never programmed before using object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. There are many Objective-C books out there, but all of these books assume you have programmed before and know OOP and computer logic. We wanted to write a book that takes readers from knowing little or nothing about …

Objective-C Phrasebook

Objective-C has a Smalltalk-like object model. If you come from Java, you will find this very easy to understand. If you come from a Simula-family language, such as C++, you may find it a bit more difficult. Alan Kay described the idea of objects as a simple exercise in reduction. When solving a problem, you want to decompose it into simple parts. The simplest thing that can run a part of a p…

OpenCL Programming by Example

Parallel Computing has been extensively researched over the past few decades and had been the key research interest at many universities. Parallel Computing uses multiple processors or computers working together on a common algorithm or task. Due to the constraints in the available memory, performance of a single computing unit, and also the need to complete a task quickly, various parallel com…

No longer are financial instruments confined to bank loans and deposits, stocks and bonds, and other traditional forms. Numer- ous financial products have emerged to meet new needs and pref- erences of individuals and institutions. At the same time, opera- tions of major financial institutions increasingly have extended beyond national borders and are now carried out on a worldwide basis. Su…

OpenCV 2 Computer Vision Application Programming Cookbook

This chapter will teach you the basic elements of OpenCV and will show you how to accomplish the most fundamental tasks: reading, displaying, and saving images. Before you can start with OpenCV, you need to install the library. This is a simple process that is explained in the first recipe of this chapter. You also need a good development environment (IDE) to run your OpenCV applications. We pr…

GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

We live today in a world in which the economic health of nations and the competitiveness of firms is determined largely by the ability to develop, commercialize, and most importantly, to appropriate (or capture) the economic benefits from scientific and technological (S&T) innovations. Intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as patents and copyrights, are an important means used by firms to h…

Oracle PL/SQL Programming

Oracle’s reference manuals may describe all the features of the PL/SQL language, but they don’t tell you how to apply the technology. In fact, in some cases, you’ll be lucky to even understand how to use a given feature after you’ve made your way through the railroad diagrams. Books and training courses tend to cover the same standard topics in the same limited way. In this book, I’ll…

Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach

Computer networking or data communications is a set of disciplines concerned with communication between computer systems or devices. It has its requirements and underlying principles. Since the first node of ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network, later renamed Internet) was established in 1969, the store-and-forward packet switching technologies formed the Internet architecture, whi…

Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual C++

introduces the common problems faced by developers who want to use parallelism to make their applications run faster. It explains basic concepts and prepares you for the remaining chapters. There is a table in the “Design Approaches” section of Chapter 1 that can help you select the right patterns for your application.

Japan's Growing Technological Capability

The growing Japanese role in high technology raises a number of questions for the United States. Some of these questions relate to the current status of the two countries, for example, in what industries do Japanese firms hold technologies more advanced than their U.S. rivals? Are there industries in which U.S. firms still lead but are under serious challenge by Japanese firms? Are there sector…

Cleaner-Energy Investments

Clean energy is the flavor of the times. With a view to bringing the phrase closer to reality, I would prefer to refer to it in relative terms as Cleaner Energy. Investors have had divergent views of the sector: from being a genuine business opportunity, especially when attractive preferential tariffs are on offer, to a peripheral activity that helped “green wash” other business operations.…

Parallel Programming with Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 Step by Step

Parallel programming truly redefines the programming model for multicore architecture, which has become commonplace. For this reason, parallel programming has been elevated to a core technology in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. In this version of the .NET Framework, the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and the System.Threading.Tasks namespace contain the parallel programming implementation. Microso…

PayPal APIs: Up and Running

PayPal’s NVP API makes it simple to integrate PayPal payments into your specific web application. You, the merchant, construct an NVP string and post it via HTTPS (HTTP Secure, aka TLS/SSL) to the PayPal authorization server. PayPal posts back an NVP- formatted response that you then parse in your web application for the information relevant to the payment. Figure 1-1 shows a basic request an…
