This volume contains the 38 papers written by close collaborators and friends of Martin Wirsing on the occasion of the celebration of his retirement from the chair of Programming and Software Engineering at the Ludwig-Maximilians- Universit¨at in Munich. The volume is a reflection, with gratitude and admiration, on Martin’s highly creative, remarkably fruitful, and intellectually […]
It was August 2011 and the opening home match of the 20th season of the English Premier League. Sitting back in my comfortable red padded seat, with legroom aplenty, I was one block off the halfway line at Arsenal’s resplendent Emirates Stadium. Two teams full of adored multimillionaires marched out for a once unheard of […]
Schon ca. 8000 bis 9000 Jahre vor unserer Zeitrechnung haben Menschen gelernt, ihre Abfälle außerhalb der Ansiedlungen abzulagern. Es handelte sich dabei sowohl um Speisereste wie Muschelschalen und Knochen als auch um zerstörte Haushaltsgegenstände wie Tonscherben. Es ist zu vermuten, dass die Menschen diese Abfallplätze anlegten, um der Belästigung durch Ungeziefer, Gestank und wilde Tiere […]
The natural sciences talk about their results. The social sciences talk about their methods. Henri Poincaré1 In a very crucial sense there is no methodology without logos, without thinking about thinking. And if a firm distinction is drawn – as it should be – between methodology and technique, the latter is no substitute for the […]
This book is intended to provide guidance for all those working in the field of biomedical signal analysis and application, in particular graduate students, researchers at the early stages of their careers, industrial researchers, and people interested in the development of the methods of signal processing. The book is different from other monographs, which are […]
The CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) certification exam will test to determine that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to configure, manage and troubleshoot a network that uses Internet Protocol (IP). It Pays to Get Certified In a digital world, digital literacy is an essential survival skill. Certification proves that you have the knowledge […]
Computer Networking continues with an early emphasis on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces (the top layer), encouraging a hands-on experience with protocols and networking concepts, before working down the protocol stack to more abstract layers. This book has become the dominant book for this course because of the authors’ reputations, the precision of explanation, […]
Aujourd’hui, l’enseignement des mathématiques, des sciences et des technologies pose un certain nombre de problèmes qui font l’objet de nombreux débats, voire de polémiques qui ne sont pas cantonnés au monde de la recherche en éducation, mais qui gagnent la place publique. Tout d’abord, de nombreux travaux (dont cet ouvrage fournit des exemples) montrent qu’une […]
In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), it has become very important to rapidly develop and test prototypes of your hardware products while also augmenting them using software features. The Arduino movement has been the front-runner in this hardware revolution, and through its simple board designs it has made it convenient for anyone […]
The Raspberry Pi is a quaint example of technological innovations that come by once every two or three decades and set off a revolution that touches every aspect of human life from scientific exploration to entertainment to education. What is exciting this time around is that there are several such innovations happening simultaneously. They might […]
Southern Africa is an area of great beauty and stark contrasts. Diversity abounds in this region, which includes the countries of South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Giraffes, lions, and elephants roam Botswana’s savanna grasslands, while the bright lights of Johannesburg, South Africa, twinkle against the night sky. Early morning fog rolls […]
The inclusion of small guest molecules within suitable host compounds results in constrained systems that imbue novel properties upon the incarcerated organic substrates. For example, the chromophoric nature of dye molecules is considerably altered upon complexation. And the targeted delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients can be facilitated in vivo . So, understandably, supramolecular tactics are […]
