A1 - Duraiswami, Ramani KW - Electronic books KW - Helmholtz equation KW - Mathematics / Mathematical Analysis KW - Science / Physics / Electromagnetism KW - Science / Physics / Magnetism KW - Technology & Engineering / Acoustics & Sound KW - Technology & Engineering / Electrical AB - This volume in the Elsevier Series in Electromagnetism presents a detailed, in-depth and self-contained treatment of the Fast Multipole Method and its applications to the solution of the Helmholtz equation in three dimensions. The Fast Multipole Method was pioneered by Rokhlin and Greengard in 1987 and has enjoyed a dramatic development and recognition during the past two decades. This method has been described as one of the best 10 algorithms of the 20th century. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important to give a detailed exposition of the Fast Multipole Method that will be accessible to a broad audience of researchers. This is exactly what the authors of this book have accomplished. For this reason, it will be a valuable reference for a broad audience of engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians.The Only book that provides comprehensive coverage of this topic in one location.Presents a review of the basic theory of expansions of the Helmholtz equation solutionsComprehensive description of both mathematical and practical aspects of the fast multipole method and it's applications to issues described by the Helmholtz equation PB - Elsevier SN - 9780080443713 ER - TY - BOOK T1 - Mathematical Models of Hysteresis and Their Applications: Second Edition Y1 - 2003 A1 - Mayergoyz, Issak D KW - Business & Economics / Industrial Management KW - Hysteresis KW - Mathematics / Applied KW - Mathematics / General KW - Science / Physics / Magnetism KW - Science / Physics / Mathematical & Computational KW - Technology & Engineering / Electrical KW - Technology & Engineering / Electronics / General KW - Technology & Engineering / Electronics / Microelectronics KW - Technology & Engineering / Signals & Signal Processing AB - This new edition has been significantly revised and updated to reflect advances in the field since the publication of the first edition, such as the systematic experimental testing of Preisach models of hysteresis. The author has, however, retained the two most salient features of the original, the emphasis on the universal nature of mathematical models of hysteresis and their applicability to the description of hysteresis phenomena in various areas of science, technology and economics and its accessibility to a broad audience of researchers, engineers, and students. Provides a unique emphasis on the development of universal mathematical models of hysteresis Accessibility to a broad audience, using simple and complex mathematical tools, application to various areas of science.

Data hiding and digital watermarking are promising new technologies for multimedia information protection and rights management. Multimedia Data Hiding addresses the theory, methods, and design of multimedia data hiding and its application to multimedia rights management, information security, and communication. It offers theoretical and practical aspects, and both design and attack problems. Applications discussed include: annotation, tamper detection, copy/access control, fingerprinting, and ownership protection. Countermeasures for attacks on data hiding are discussed, and a chapter assesses attack problems on digital music protection under a unique competitive environment. Topics and features: * Comprehensive and practical coverage of data hiding for various media types, including binary image, grayscale and color images and video, and audio * Provides unique analysis of problems and solutions, such as data hiding in binary signature and generic binary documents, block concealment attacks, and attacks on audio watermarking * Authoritative discussion and analysis of data hiding and effective countermeasures, supported by concrete application examples * Accessible, well-organized progression from the fundamentals to specific approaches to various data-hiding problems This work offers a state-of-the-art presentation covering theoretical, algorithmic, and design topics for digital content/data security protection, and rights management. It is an essential resource for multimedia security researchers and professionals in electrical engineering, computer science, IT, and digital rights management.

Furthermore, 3,000 television stations broadcasting for twenty-four hours a day produce eight million hours per year, amounting to 24,000 terabytes of data. Although some of the data is labeled at the time of production, an enormous portion remains unindexed. For practical access to such huge amounts of data, there is a great need to develop efficient tools for browsing and retrieving content of interest, so that producers and end users can quickly locate specific video sequences in this ocean of audio-visual data.Video Mining is important because it describes the main techniques being developed by the major players in industry and academic research to address this problem. It is the first time research from these leaders in the field developing the next-generation multimedia search engines is being described in great detail and gathered into a single volume.Video Mining will give valuable insights to all researchers and non-specialists who want to understand the principles applied by the multimedia search engines that are about to be deployed on the Internet, in studios' multimedia asset management systems, and in video-on-demand systems. PB - Springer SN - 9781402075490 ER - TY - BOOK T1 - Basic Electric Circuit Theory: A One-Semester Text Y1 - 1996 A1 - Mayergoyz, Issak D A1 - Lawson,Wes KW - Electric circuits KW - Technology & Engineering / Electrical AB - This is the only book on the market that has been conceived and deliberately written as a one-semester text on basic electric circuit theory. As such, this book employs a novel approach to the exposition of the material in which phasors and ac steady-state analysis are introduced at the beginning. This allows one to use phasors in the discussion of transients excited by ac sources, which makes the presentation of transients more comprehensive and meaningful. Furthermore, the machinery of phasors paves the road to the introduction of transfer functions, which are then used in the analysis of transients and the discussion of Bode plots and filters. Another salient feature of the text is the consolidation into one chapter of the material concerned with dependent sources and operational amplifiers. Dependent sources are introduced as linear models for transistors on the basis of small signal analysis. In the text, PSpice simulations are prominently featured to reinforce the basic material and understanding of circuit analysis.Key Features* Designed as a comprehensive one-semester text in basic circuit theory* Features early introduction of phasors and ac steady-state analysis* Covers the application of phasors and ac steady-state analysis* Consolidates the material on dependent sources and operational amplifiers* Places emphasis on connections between circuit theory and other areas in electrical engineering* Includes PSpice tutorials and examples* Introduces the design of active filters* Includes problems at the end of every chapter* Priced well below similar books designed for year-long courses PB - Academic Press SN - 9780124808652 ER -
