This research monograph has the following main theme. Given an interpolation function, which is supposed to determine an estimate of the unknown signal value, the reader can use the traditional approach (traditional interpolation function) to estimate the numerical value of the signal. Alternatively, the reader can follow the theoretical developments offered in the book and so design, on the basis of the unified theory described in the book, three new interpolation functions with improved approximation capabilities. That means, that under the unified theory, the book offers three new classes of interpolation functions with improved approximation capabilities of the true and unknown signal to estimate. These works were published in the year 2011 and submitted for peer review and they are now presented to the public through this new publication. There are likely to be three main types of readership of this research monograph. The primary readership is composed of users of libraries which may adopt the book as reference. The secondary readership is composed of the population of instructors/professors of a course in one of applied mathematics, signal-image interpolation, signal-image processing, biomedical imaging and/or biomedical engineering academic disciplines. In such case, the book can be used as an additional educational resource to be available both to undergraduate and graduate students, in order to assign homework and/or projects to be included in the coursework. The tertiary readership is composed of apprentices and/or passionate of math. In such case, the book would be used to employ time while following the desire of intellectual enrichment. The apprentices and/or passionate of math would study the methodology of the unified theory, would apply the unified theory such to design new interpolation functions, and should there be the desire of furthering the interest, the apprentice and/or passionate would proceed further to the analysis of the results, and possibly into the discussion and the dissemination of the knowledge made out of this book.

The book consists of a set of business scenarios and corresponding solution critiques. Each "use case" chapter is made up of a problem description, assessment of implementation options, and the selection of the ideal solution candidate. We then construct the solution using the chosen Microsoft technology. This book is for architects, developers, and managers who need to improve their knowledge of the Microsoft application platform. This book will appeal to anyone who wants to get up to speed on selecting the most appropriate platform for a particular problem. Consultants and executive leadership will also find significant value in this book. A good understanding of the general Windows platform and development technologies would be helpful.

In control and signal processing, adaptation is a natural tool to cope with real-time changes in the dynamical behaviour of signals and systems. In this area, strongly connected with prediction and identification, there has been an increasing interest in switching and supervising methods. Moreover in recent years, special attention has been paid to the ideas evolving round the theory of statistical learning as a potential tool of improved adaptation.

The IFAC workshop on Adaptation and Learning in Control and Signal Processing in 2001 gathered together experts in the field and interested researchers from universities and industry to present a full picture of the area. This proceedings volume presents papers covering the following subjects: Model reference and predictive control; Multiple model control; Adaptive control I/II; Adaptive control and learning; Learning; Adaptive control of nonlinear systems I/II; Supervisory control; Neural networks for control; PID design methods; Sliding mode; Adaptive filtering and estimation; Identification methods I/II.

Part of the continuing growth in the applications of digital signal processing, multirate digital signal processing has become an active research area of considerable importance. The key characteristic of multirate algorithms is their high computational efficiency, and hence their increasing implementation.

Interest in the applications of ultrawideband (UWB) radar systems is increasing rapidly all over the world. This is evident from the number of monographs recently published on the subject and from the many papers presented at international conferences on the general problems involved in UWB radar and on its promising new applications. Conventional (classical) methods seem to have exhausted their potential and studies in the field are undergoing a profound change. This book presents some of the novel approaches to radar system analysis now being investigated. A good source of information on UWB signals is their structural analysis in the time domain. This allows a greater understanding of the specific features of UWB radar systems, such as the properties of receiving and transmitting antennas, and various characteristics of near- and far-range target scattering fields. It is shown how the systematic application of numerical procedures can provide new results in the evaluation of UWB radar target responses. The authors do not try to cover all of the possible solutions to the problem of multidimensional representation of target responses; rather they aim to give a general understanding of the techniques of confluent analysis, computer holography and adaptive synthesis of antenna apertures. These methods have great potential for solving conventional radar problems in target detection and recognition, and they are sure to stimulate the use of UWB signals in many fields such as subsurface probing and ecological monitoring.

The worldwide growth in demand for electricity has forced the pace of developments in electrical power system design to meet consumer needs for reliable, secure and cheap supplies. Power system protection, as a technology essential to high quality supply, is widely recognised as a specialism of growing and often critical importance, in which power system needs and technological progress have combined to result in rapid developments in policy and practice in recent years. In the United Kingdom, the need for appropriate training in power system protection was recognised in the early 1960s with the launch of a correspondence course from which these books emerged and have since developed designed to meet the needs of protection staff throughout the world. The Electricity Training Association, in response to the important recent developments in the field of protection, have now commissioned an additional volume covering digital technology. The existing three volumes, of which this is the second, have been reviewed by leading authorities within the electricity supply industry and electrical manufacturing companies in the UK and, with the new fourth volume, the new edition gives a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject, covering theory, analytical and design principles, equipment design and application and protection management.
