Using easy-to-follow mathematics, this textbook provides
comprehensive coverage of block codes and techniques for reliable
communications and data storage. It covers major code designs and
constructions from geometric, algebraic, and graph-theoretic points
of view, decoding algorithms, error control additive white Gaussian
noise (AWGN) and erasure, and dataless recovery. It simplifies a
highly mathematical subject to a level that can be understood and
applied with a minimum background in mathematics, provides
step-by-step explanation of all covered topics, both fundamental
and advanced, and includes plenty of practical illustrative
examples to assist understanding. Numerous homework problems are
included to strengthen student comprehension of new and abstract
concepts, and a solutions manual is available online for
instructors. Modern developments, including polar codes, are also
covered. An essential textbook for senior undergraduates and
graduates taking introductory coding courses, students taking
advanced full-year graduate coding courses, and professionals
working on coding for communications and data storage.
This book introduces readers to environmental background
investigation, pollution source intensity evaluation and risk
assessment approaches used at three main types of
groundwater-contaminated sites: municipal domestic waste landfills,
hazardous waste landfills and oil-contaminated sites. In addition,
typical contaminated sites throughout China are examined to
demonstrate how these approaches can be applied for their
investigation, assessment and restoration. By reading this book,
readers will gain a deeper understanding of the restoration and
management of typical groundwater-contaminated sites.
Today's highly parameterized large-scale distributed computing
systems may be composed of a large number of various components
(computers, databases, etc) and must provide a wide range of
services. The users of such systems, located at different
(geographical or managerial) network cluster may have a limited
access to the system's services and resources, and different, often
conflicting, expectations and requirements. Moreover, the
information and data processed in such dynamic environments may be
incomplete, imprecise, fragmentary, and overloading. All of the
above mentioned issues require some intelligent scalable
methodologies for the management of the whole complex structure,
which unfortunately may increase the energy consumption of such
systems. An optimal energy utilization has reached to a point that
many information technology (IT) managers and corporate executives
are all up in arms to identify scalable solution that can reduce
electricity consumption (so that the total cost of operation is
minimized) of their respective large-scale computing systems and
simultaneously improve upon or maintain the current throughput of
the system. This book in its eight chapters, addresses the
fundamental issues related to the energy usage and the optimal
low-cost system design in high performance ``green computing''
systems. The recent evolutionary and general metaheuristic-based
solutions for energy optimization in data processing, scheduling,
resource allocation, and communication in modern computational
grids, could and network computing are presented along with several
important conventional technologies to cover the hot topics from
the fundamental theory of the ''green computing'' concept and to
describe the basic architectures of systems. This book points out
the potential application areas and provides detailed examples of
application case studies in low-energy computational systems. The
development trends and open research issues are also outlined. All
of those technologies have formed the foundation for the green
computing that we know of today.

In architecture, a facade is the skin of a building. Eco-Friendly
Building Facade demonstrates just how important this 'skin' is by
illustrating its impact on energy efficiency. Sunlight,
ventilation, low energy, noise minimisation, rainwater harvest,
prefabricated components, flexibility, etc., all the environmental
elements are taken into consideration in the design process and are
illustrated here with sufficiently detailed images, drawings and
articles.
Written by leading experts, this self-contained text provides
systematic coverage of LDPC codes and their construction
techniques, unifying both algebraic- and graph-based approaches
into a single theoretical framework (the superposition
construction). An algebraic method for constructing protograph LDPC
codes is described, and entirely new codes and techniques are
presented. These include a new class of LDPC codes with doubly
quasi-cyclic structure, as well as algebraic methods for
constructing spatially and globally coupled LDPC codes.
Authoritative, yet written using accessible language, this text is
essential reading for electrical engineers, computer scientists and
mathematicians working in communications and information theory.
Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) and uncertain
optimization problems (UOPs) which widely exist in real life are
challengeable problems in the fields of decision making, system
designing, and scheduling, amongst others. Decomposition exploits
the ideas of aEURO~making things simpleaEURO (TM) and aEURO~divide
and conqueraEURO (TM) to transform a complex problem into a series
of simple ones with the aim of reducing the computational
complexity. In order to tackle the abovementioned two types of
complicated optimization problems, this book introduces the
decomposition strategy and conducts a systematic study to perfect
the usage of decomposition in the field of multi-objective
optimization, and extend the usage of decomposition in the field of
uncertain optimization.
From a professional point of view, this book describes the design
of retail shops through a series of high-quality examples. They are
diverse in theme and style. It is the design that makes them
outstanding and impressive. If you want to find inspira^tions for
you next design, or simply want to explore these designs, this book
is the best choice.
