Parking Structures provides a single-source reference for parking structure designers, builders, and owners. This third edition is still the only such book. It addresses how to select the best functional and structural designs for a given situation, ensure long-term durability, design for easy maintenance, decide on the number and placement of e...

Starbursts are important features of early galaxy evolution. Many of the distant, high-redshift galaxies we are able to detect are in a starbursting phase, often apparently provoked by a violent gravitational interaction with another galaxy. In fact, if we did not know that major starbursts existed, these conference proceedings testify that we w...

At once a programming course that emphasises object-oriented thinking as well as a well-documented, versatile, and robust geometry library. All of the relevant geometry is covered in depth to provide a good understanding of the background to this topic. Many of the most common intersection problems and measuring tasks are covered, with the autho...

Telecommunications carriers have begun to upgrade their networks with state-of-the-art optical equipment, referred to as optical-bypass technology. The ramifications of this technology are manifold, affecting the architecture, operation, and economics of the network, all of which are covered in this book. The book is oriented towards practical i...

Over the past decade, the scientific information on psychology of injury has increased considerably. Despite dramatic advances in physical education of coaches, field of medicine, athletic training, and physical therapy, the sport-related traumatic injuries is our major concern. Athletic injuries, both single and multiple, have a tendency to gro...

This textbook provides an insight into the characteristics and design of digital filters. It includes tables of filter parameters for Butterworth, Chbeyshev, Cauer and Bessel filters and several computer routines for filter design programs.

Written with the expert in mind the book describes the physical layer of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). In a clear fashion it compiles the main technical features of the physical layer standard together with a description of the basic digital communications and spread spectrum technology. In addition the test cases specified i...
