This outstanding introductory primer demystifies and explains T EX, an advanced and widely popular typesetting and page make-up system that is especially designed to facilitate scientific and technical publishing. The TEX system is highly versatile, designed for use on over 50 different types of personal, mini-, and mainframe computers. The book immediately provides the reader with sufficient information to begin the majority of tasks which he or she most likely wishes to tackle. Accessibly written at an introductory level, the book explains how high-quality results can be obtained by someone with only a little T EX background. In a straightforward manner, it details why T EX approaches its subject in the way it does, and provides the "context" into which it fits. Special emphasis is placed on document structure and practical work. In fact, not only is this book a "primer," but it is a "plain" T EX primer. Wherever T EX is running, it comes with at least one basic style definition, called "plain." Plain T EX is the common starting point for T EX users and can be extended or modified to suit individual needs. Thus, with the aid of this book, scientists and researchers preparing their own books and papers, or technical typists used to the conventions and jargon of their field, will find little difficulty in adopting T EX's approach. Students and professionals involved in document preparation or desk-top publishing will also find this an extremely useful volume.

The Web has become a rich source of personal information in the last few years. People twitter, blog, and chat online. Current feelings, experiences or latest news are posted. For instance, first hints to disease outbreaks, customer preferences, or political changes could be identified with this data.

Surveillance or early warning systems enable such detection of changes and support humans in getting information on changing situations. However, the variety of data that could be considered for surveillance is immense, ranging from sensor-measured values to collected counts and information extracted from natural language documents.Denecke's objective is to introduce the multiple possibilities and facets of surveillance and its applications. She first introduces the task of surveillance and provides an overview on surveillance in various domains. Next, the various information sources that are available and could already be used by surveillance systems are summarized. In the main part of the book, her focus is on unstructured data as a source for surveillance. An overview on existing methods as well as methods to be developed in order to process this kind of data with respect to surveillance is presented. As an example application, she introduces disease surveillance using Web 2.0, including corresponding methods and challenges to be addressed. The book closes with remarks on new possibilities for surveillance gained by recent developments of the Internet and mobile communication, and with an outline of future challenges.

Finally, a ground-up, quick-start approach to XSLT that teaches not just the language, but XML processing solutions. XSLT Jumpstarter approaches the subject like no other book, using examples that ease you through the basic concepts while demonstrating how to solve common problems. It doesn't unload language elements on you, it shows how to create HTML output, rearrange and modify XML nodes, manipulate text, conditionalize processing, make global changes, perform grouping and sorting, and implement strategies for re-using templates and stylesheets. XSLT Jumpstarter offers a hands-on, jump-in-the-water approach that will launch you over the XSLT learning curve! Get your XML under control with XSLT Jumpstarter. XML is everywhere in data and web technology, and XSLT was created specifically to transform XML into all kinds of text output, including HTML, XML, SVG, and others. You'll start with example solutions that introduce the range of XSLT possibilities.You'll get the processing concepts behind XSLT; how to create and manipulate output; how to make global changes to XML; how to use conditional instructions, XPath, and XSLT functions for complex controls; how to sort and group your output; and techniques for large-scale stylesheet management. Using a browser-based XSLT processor, you'll immediately transform XML with no setup time. You'll set up a stand-alone XSLT processor controlled from the command line. You'll get a clear view into the basic XSLT processing model so you can put it to work. Throughout the book, you'll see elements of XSLT working together in solutions to common XML processing problems. And you'll get a thorough analysis of the solutions, giving you the understanding to modify examples or create your own XSLT from scratch. This is not another XSLT reference, but an accessible guide that gets your hands dirty with a solution-oriented approach.

Digitalfotografie wird in der aktuellen Literatur stets als DIGITALfotografie verstanden. Dieses Buch versucht bewusst, zu einem besseren Verstandnis der modernen Fotografie zu fuhren, indem das erfolgreiche Zusammenwirken von klassischer mit digitaler Technologie genauso im Fokus steht wie Techniken und Besonderheiten der Digitalfotografie selbst. Die Grundlagen werden dabei theoretisch erlautert und an Bildbeispielen gezeigt. Hinzu kommen besondere Themen der Digitalfotografie wie Farbe und Schwarzweiss, Rausch- und Staubkorrektur, Internetpublikation, Urheberrechtsfragen und die Moglichkeiten des "digitalen Negativs," der raw-Datei. Neben Photoshop wird weitere einschlagige Software wie GIMP und C1 behandelt."
