VHDL is a hardware description language that allows the specification of a digital system over different levels of abstraction. It supports behavior specification during the early stages of a design process and structural specification during the later implementation stages. Originally introduced as a hardware description language that permitted...

Filling a gap in the literature, this volume offers the first comprehensive analysis of all the major types of system models. Throughout the text, there are many examples and applications to important classes of systems in areas such as power and energy, feedback control, artificial neural networks, digital signal processing and control, manufac...

Cross disciplinary biometric systems help boost the performance of the conventional systems. Not only is the recognition accuracy significantly improved, but also the robustness of the systems is greatly enhanced in the challenging environments, such as varying illumination conditions. By leveraging the cross disciplinary technologies, face reco...

A gyrotron traveling-wave amplifier (gyro-TWT) with the high-power and broad-band capabilities is considered as a turn-on key for next generation high-resolution radar. The book presents the most advanced theory, methods, and physics in a gyro-TWT. The most challenging problem of instability competition has been for the first time addressed in a...

This textbook introduces the ?Fundamentals of Multimedia?, addressing real issues commonly faced in the workplace. The essential concepts are explained in a practical way to enable students to apply their existing skills to address problems in multimedia. Fully revised and updated, this new edition now includes coverage of such topics as 3D TV, ...

Controlling Chaos achieves three goals: the suppression, synchronisation and generation of chaos, each of which is the focus of a separate part of the book. The text deals with the well-known Lorenz, Rössler and Hénon attractors and the Chua circuit and with less celebrated novel systems. Modelling of chaos is accomplished using difference equat...

This SpringerBrief presents a survey of data center network designs and topologies and compares several properties in order to highlight their advantages and disadvantages. The brief also explores several routing protocols designed for these topologies and compares the basic algorithms to establish connections, the techniques used to gain better...

This work presents up-to-date information on chemical, pharmacological, clinical studies and historical use of common dietary Chinese herbs. A brief chronological review of Chinese literatures on dietary herb uses, with chapters dedicated to each selected dietary herb, Latin name indices, chemical components, pharmacological targets and diseases...

"Graph Factors and Matching Extensions" deals with two important branches of graph theory ? factor theory and extendable graphs. Due to the mature techniques and wide ranges of applications, factors and matchings become useful tools in investigation of many theoretical problems and practical issues. This book includes basic techniques, theoretic...

This book provides an introduction to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of evolutionary type. SPDEs are one of the main research directions in probability theory with several wide ranging applications. Many types of dynamics with stochastic influence in nature or man-made complex systems can be modelled by such equa...
