This book illustrates a wide geographic and stratigraphic range of
the features and structures to be seen within the modern and
preserved rock record which can be ascribed to the presence and/or
influence of microbials mats; with an accent on the Precambrian
record. It restricts to the siliciclastic rock record and
equivalent modern settings. Much work by individuals and teams has
been done on these features in the past decade but the general
sedimentologist and geologist are not well informed or even aware
of the range and importance of these structures. This book
illustrates and fully describes all the relevant features, to
accoutn for their genesis and to place their occurrence within a
conceptual-process-related, and time-palaeoenvironmental context,
as well considering their implications for sequence architecture.

How do you balance battery life with performance and cost?
This book shows you how!
Now that "mobile" has become the standard, the consumer not only
expects mobility but demands power longevity in wireless devices.
As more and more features, computing power, and memory are packed
into mobile devices such as iPods, cell phones, and cameras, there
is a large and growing gap between what devices can do and the
amount of energy engineers can deliver. In fact, the main limiting
factor in many portable designs is not hardware or software, but
instead how much power can be delivered to the device. This book
describes various design approaches to reduce the amount of power a
circuit consumes and techniques to effectively manage the available
power.
Power Management Advice On:
-Low Power Packaging Techniques
-Power and Clock Gating
-Energy Efficient Compilers
-Various Display Technologies
-Linear vs. Switched Regulators
-Software Techniques and Intelligent Algorithms

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly
realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In
order for computers to create these accurately detailed images,
digital models of appearance must include robust data to give
viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In
particular, digital models demonstrating the nuances of how
materials interact with light are essential to this capability.
This is the first comprehensive work on the digital modeling of
material appearance: it explains how models from physics and
engineering are combined with keen observation skills for use in
computer graphics rendering.
Written by the foremost experts in appearance modeling and
rendering, this book is for practitioners who want a general
framework for understanding material modeling tools, and also for
researchers pursuing the development of new modeling techniques.

This book will explain how to verify SoC logic designs using
"formal" and "semi-formal" verification techniques. The critical
issue to be addressed is whether the functionality of the design is
the one that the designers intended. Simulation has been used for
checking the correctness of SoC designs (as in "functional"
verification), but many subtle design errors cannot be caught by
simulation. Recently, formal verification, giving mathematical
proof of the correctness of designs, has been getting much more
attention. So far, most of the books on formal verification target
the register transfer level (RTL) or lower levels of design. For
higher design productivity, it is essential to debug designs as
early as possible. That is, designs should be completely verified
at very abstracted design levels (higher than RTL). This book
covers all aspects of high-level formal and semi-formal
verification techniques for system level designs.
- First book that covers all aspects of formal and semi-formal,
high-level (higher than RTL) design verification targeting SoC
designs.
- Formal verification of high-level designs (RTL or higher).
- Verification techniques are discussed with associated
system-level design methodology.
Graphics and game developers must learn to program for mobility.
This book will teach you how.

The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a
huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this
demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are
consumed on a daily basis for food processing, transportation and
preservation purposes. Although not one of the most heavily
polluting, the food industry does contribute to the increase in
volume of waste produced as well as to the energy expended to do
so. For the first time, nine separate food industry categories are
thoroughly investigated in an effort to help combat this already
acute problem. The current state of environmental management
systems is described, offering comparisons of global legislation
rarely found in other resources. An extensive review of commercial
equipment, including advantages and disadvantages per employed
waste management technique, offers a unique perspective for any
academic, student, professional, and/or consultant in the food,
agriculture and environmental industries.

The rate of neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism,
mental retardation, hearing loss and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder is rising in the United States. Although
estimates of the prevalence of these disorders vary, figures from
the CDC indicate that 4% of all school age children are
developmentally disabled. During infancy, many important milestones
in behavioral development are shared between human and nonhuman
primates. Learning more about the causes of abnormal development in
monkeys has provided important insights into the mechanisms
underlying neurodevelopmental disabilities in human infants. This
book documents the latest research not commonly found in other
references, and provides a comprehensive look at the results from
decades of work with nonhuman primates as it relates to child
development and disability.

The polygon-mesh approach to 3D modeling was a huge advance, but
today its limitations are clear. Longer render times for
increasingly complex images effectively cap image complexity, or
else stretch budgets and schedules to the breaking point.
Point-based graphics promises to change all that, and this book
explains how. Comprised of contributions from leaders in the
development and application of this technology, Point-Based
Graphics examines it from all angles, beginning with the way in
which the latest photographic and scanning devices have enabled
modeling based on true geometry, rather than appearance.
From there, it s on to the methods themselves. Even though
point-based graphics is in its infancy, practitioners have already
established many effective, economical techniques for achieving all
the major effects associated with traditional 3D Modeling and
rendering. You ll learn to apply these techniques, and you ll also
learn how to create your own. The final chapter demonstrates how to
do this using Pointshop3D, an open-source tool for developing new
point-based algorithms. A copy of this tool can be found on the
companion website.
*The first book on a major development in computer graphics by the
pioneers in the field
* Shows how 3D images can be manipulated as easily as 2D images are
with Photoshop
* Includes CD-ROM with the open source software program Pointshop3D
for experimentation with point graphics"
