Simulating Humans: Computer Graphics Animation and Control
ISBN: 9780195073591 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the past decade, high-performance computer graphics have found application in an exciting and expanding range of new domains. Among the most dramatic developments has been the incorporation of real-time interactive manipulation and display for human figures. Though actively pursued by several research groups, the problem of providing a synthetic or surrogate human for engineers and designers already familiar with computer-aided design techniques was most comprehensively solved by Norman Badler's computer graphics laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. The breadth of that effort...

Coastally Restricted Forests
ISBN: 9780195075670 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A few conifers are found in nature only in narrow, discontinuous bands bordering continental margins. Despite their maritime location, these trees cannot thrive in saline waters and soils. What enables them to grow in challenging habitats? Why don't these species naturalize inland? What characteristics allow them to succeed only near salt water?
A strange combination of qualities is seen: the trees are catastrophe-dependent, stress-tolerant, with broad niche potential, but are poor competitors in "easy" sites. They all possess moisture-conserving features usually associated with arid... A few conifers are found in nature only in narrow, discontinuous bands bordering continental margins.

National Innovation Systems: A Comparative Analysis
ISBN: 9780195076172 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The slowdown of growth in Western industrialized nations in the last twenty years, along with the rise of Japan as a major economic and technological power (and enhanced technical sophistication of Taiwan, Korea, and other NICs) has led to what the authors believe to be a "techno-nationalism." This combines a strong belief that technological capabilities of a nation's firms are a key source of their competitive process, with a belief that these capabilities are in a sense national, and can be built by national action. This book is about these national systems of technical innovation. The...

Acceptable Evidence
ISBN: 9780195089295 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Discussions of science and values in risk management have largely focused on how values enter into arguments about risks, that is, issues of acceptable risk. Instead this volume concentrates on how values enter into collecting, interpreting, communicating, and evaluating the evidence of risks, that is, issues of the acceptability of evidence of risk. By focusing on acceptable evidence, this volume avoids two barriers to progress. One barrier assumes that evidence of risk is largely a matter of objective scientific data and therefore uncontroversial. The other assumes that evidence of risk,...

Charging Ahead
ISBN: 9780195094794 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Charging Ahead is a classic tale of perseverance against daunting odds in the pursuit of a personal dream--and an environmental revolution.
You'd have to be a fool to market a consumer electric car, let alone challenge the big three auto makers with a little start up company. But MIT graduate James Worden, with his girlfriend and a handful of audacious engineers, did both and he's well on his way to success. In this marvelous narrative, business writer Joe Sherman vividly describes how Worden and his team built the world's most advanced EV (electric vehicle), the Sunrise. Combining...
