Sublimation
ISBN: 9781478110743 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sublimation is about the career and murder of a young research scientist shortly after his return from Pakistan as a consultant for the United Nation. The book provides insight into the contract research segment of scientific research and development. Because government funding plays such an important role, government policy and politics have an impact on research. This fact is part of background leading to the fictional murder.

Cycles of Invention and Discovery: Rethinking the Endless Frontier
ISBN: 9780674967960 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cycles of Invention and Discovery offers an in-depth look at the real-world practice of science and engineering. It shows how the standard categories of "basic" and "applied" have become a hindrance to the organization of the U.S. science and technology enterprise. Tracing the history of these problematic categories, Venkatesh Narayanamurti and Toluwalogo Odumosu document how historical views of policy makers and scientists have led to the construction of science as a pure ideal on the one hand and of engineering as a practical (and inherently less prestigious) activity on the...

Analysis of Pipeline Steel Corrosion Data
ISBN: 9781493755592 / Angielski / Miękka / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Currently, the U.S. has over 3.7 million kilometers (2.3 million miles) of pipelines crossing the country transporting natural gas and hazardous liquids from sources such as wells, refineries, and ports to customers. It is estimated that almost 2/3 of the energy consumed in the U.S. passes through a pipeline at some point between its origin and the point of consumption and pipelines account for about 20% of the total mass-distance that oil and natural gas are transported 1,2]. Clearly, the maintenance of an uninterrupted energy supply to the public requires the operation of these pipelines...

Analysis of Three Different Regression Models to Estimate the Ballistic Performance of New and Environmentally Conditioned Body Armor
ISBN: 9781493755929 / Angielski / Miękka / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The performance standard for ballistic-resistant body armor published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), NIJ Standard 0101.06, recommends estimating the perforation performance of body armor by performing a statistical analysis on V50 ballistic limit testing data. The logistic regression model is the statistical regression model recommended in the NIJ standard, but depending on the armor system and the amount of ballistic data collected for that system, other regression models may be more appropriate. Thus, the first objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the estimations...

Effects of JPEG 2000 Image Compression on 1000ppi Fingerprint Imagery
ISBN: 9781493768981 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This paper presents the findings of a study conducted to measure the impact of JPEG 2000 compression on fingerprint imagery at various levels of compression. The impact of compression is measured in terms of impact to both Galton and non-Galton based features of a fingerprint by utilizing the professional judgment of trained and seasoned fingerprint examiners. This impact is analyzed by consolidating and quantifying multiple decisions and associating a cost with the different levels of image compression loss incurred during compression. In addition to measuring the perceived visual impact of...

Evaluating Reasoning Systems
ISBN: 9781494253462 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A review of the literature on evaluating reasoning systems reveals that it is a very broad area with wide variation in depth and breadth of research on metrics and tests. Consolidation is hampered by nonstandard terminology, differing methodologies, scattered application domains, unpublished algorithmic details, and the effects of domain content and context on the choice of metric and tests. The field of information metrology, which applies to reasoning as a kind of information processing, is still emerging from ad hoc experience in evaluating narrow kinds of information systems. This report...
