Electric Circuits 6E with Introduction to PSpice Manual for Electric Circuits using OrCad Release 9.1, - CD included in Package, 6th edition
Authors: James W. Nilsson, Susan A. Riedel
Venue:  (2000)

:Over a decade in print, Electric Circuits by Jim Nilsson has traveled through the circuits course with over 175,000 students. The overwhelming popularity of this text is largely the result of the author's unique ability to communicate the concepts of circuit design through the experience he gives students in his end-of-chapter problem sets. More than practice, practice, practice, the problems sets are carefully developed to nurture the student through the complex process of applying mathematics and analysis to circuit design. As educators are now moving to empower students with the computational resources of the computer and to challenge them with the issues of design, co-author Susan Riedel has contributed two chapters on design in active filters and two new alternative supplements, Using Computer Tools for Electric Circuits, and Introduction to PSpice. Both the main text and new supplements -- which are free to students -- promote the encounter with design alongside traditional problems of analysis. Provides a superior pedagogy in the worked examples that are skillfully-developed to accomplish specific learning objectives as outlined in the Instructor's Manual. Delivers 600 New Problems! 70% of the end-of-chapter problems are new or revised. Gives students an experience of design with electric circuits in two new chapters on active filters and with design problems, examples, and applications integrated throughout the text and the free computer supplement. Includes a free computer supplement, Using Computer Tools for Electric Circuits that encourages students to use the computer tools at hand to do their homework. Delivers six new real-world motivating examples -- called "Practical Perspectives"-- that show how the concepts of the chapter are applied in the design of everyday devices.

Spatially adaptive splines for statistical linear inverse problems
Authors: Hervé Cardot
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

This paper introduces a new nonparametric estimator based on penalized regression splines for linear operator equations when the data are noisy. A local roughness penalty that relies on local support properties of B-splines is introduced in order to deal with spatial heterogeneity of the function to be estimated. This estimator is shown to be consistent under weak conditions on the asymptotic behaviour of the singular values of the linear operator. Furthermore, in the usual non-parametric settings, it is shown to attain optimal rates of convergence. Then its good performances are confirmed by means of a simulation study.
The Internet Bubble: Inside the Overvalued World of High-Tech Stocks -- And What You Need to Know to Avoid the Coming Catastrophe
Authors: Anthony B. Perkins, Michael C. Perkins
Venue:  (1999)

:The spectacular Bull Market in high-tech stocks is the investment story of the decade. The numbers are astonishing. The Internet boom has created new household names such as Yahoo, Amazon, and America Online--companies that today command billions in market value. Internet startups like Healtheon and eBay have seen their stocks sky-rocket over 3000 percent since their IPOs, and dozens of other Internet stocks have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled on their first day of trading. Here is a market where: entrepreneurs like the thirty-something founders of Yahoo and Amazon become global billionaires overnight; money-losing startups command market valuations that make the captains of traditional industry cry their hearts out and tremble with competitive fear; and venture capitalists and investment bankers cash in big on companies barely out of the cradle. But individual retail investors--the outsiders in this turn of the century roulette game--are left to foot the bill, paying exorbitant prices for stocks that will end up diving off a cliff. TheInternet Bubble is the story of the turbulent world of high-tech stocks, a place where fortunes are made and lost in a day. This book uncovers the inner workings of an industry that increasingly thrives on greed and hype. It shows who is really getting rich, and how they use small investors to finance their empires. Silicon Valley insiders Anthony and Michael Perkins provide a behind-the-scenes look at the forces--and the people--stoking the money engine in the technology stock market. They show how the allure of fast-paced innovation and overnight success has driven an ongoing market frenzy around Internet stocks, creating what they call an "Internet Bubble." Most important, the authors show that, when the Bubble inevitably bursts, Main Street--not Wall Street--will take the big hit, unless individual investors take steps to protect themselves now. This is a book that will make every investor in America think twice before chasing the latest "hot" Internet stock.

On high-level programming systems for structured display programming
Authors: Wolfgang K. Giloi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1975)

The main topic of the paper is to introduce a concept for structured display programming in interactive computer graphics and to discuss the suitability of FORTRAN, ALGOL, PL/I, and APL as the host language for such a programming system. To this end, the interrelationship between picture structures, data structures, and language structures is first established. Based on the obtained conclusions, a model language for interactive display programming (GRIP) is introduced. The suitability of the above mentioned languages is discussed, and experiences with the implementation of the GRIP philosophy in some of these languages are communicated.

Stock Trading: An Optimal Selling Rule
Authors: Q. Zhang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

Trading in stock markets consists of three major steps: select a stock, purchase a number of shares, and eventually sell them to make a profit. The timing to buy and sell is extremely crucial. A selling rule can be specified by two preselected levels: a target price and a stop-loss limit. This paper is concerned with an optimal selling rule based on the model characterized by a number of geometric Brownian motions coupled by a finite-state Markov chain. Such a policy can be obtained by solving a set of two-point boundary value differential equations. Moreover, the corresponding expected target period and probability of making money and that of losing money are derived. Analytic solutions are obtained in one- and two-dimensional cases. Finally, a numerical example is considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
WWW autonomous robotics: enabling wide area access to a computer engineering practicum
Authors: John C. Gallagher, Steven Perretta
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

In recent years, courses in the design and programming of mobile autonomous robots have become popular at a number of institutions. These activities offer participants experience in a number of practical areas, including computer programming, project management, and technical writing. Further, they provide those experiences in an entertaining manner that may motivate students to pursue additional education in computer science and engineering. By their nature, however, these classes are resource intensive, often limiting access to a few, fortunate students. This paper describes efforts to date in providing a World Wide Web (WWW) based course in autonomous robotics. We will begin with a discussion of how the unique benefits of autonomous robotics courses are enhanced by offering them via the web. We will then discuss our WWW course and some special challenges we encountered during its development. We will conclude with a discussion of future plans and a set of open questions we intend to address.
Going public: open-source databases and database research
Authors: Philippe Bonnet
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

There are a number of database systems available free of charge for the research community, with complete access to the source code. Some of these systems result from completed research projects, others have been developed outside the research community. How can the database community best take advantage of these publically available systems? The most widely used open-source database is MySQL. Their objective is to become the 'best and most used database in the world'. Can they do it without the database research community?
A new approach to database logic
Authors: Gabriel M. Kuper, Moshe Y. Vardi
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

We propose here a data model that generalizes the relational, hierarchical, and network models. A database scheme in this model is a directed graph, where leaves represent data and internal nodes represent connections between the data. Instances are constructed from r-values, which constitute the data space, and l-values, which constitute the address space. We define a logic for the model, and describe a non-procedural quary language that is based on the logic. Finally, we describe an algebraic query language and show that it is equivalent to the logical language.

VIZARD II: a reconfigurable interactive volume rendering system
Authors: M. Meißner, U. Kanus, G. Wetekam, J. Hirche, A. Ehlert, W. Straßer, M. Doggett, P. Forthmann, R. Proksa
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

This paper presents a reconfigurable, hardware accelerated, volume rendering system for high quality perspective ray casting. The volume rendering accelerator performs ray casting by calculating the path of the ray through the volume using a programmable Xilinx Virtex FPGA which provides fast design changes and low cost development. Volume datasets are stored on the card in low profile DIMMs with standard connectors allowing both, large datasets up to 1 GByte with 32 bit per voxel, and easy upgrades to larger memory capacities. Per-sample Phong shading and post-classification is performed in hardware, giving immediate feedback to changes in the visualization of a dataset. Adding new features, such as pre-integrated classification, can be accomplished using the existing card without expensive and time consuming redesigns. The card can also be used for medical image reconstruction by reconfiguring the FPGA broadening its usefulness for end users. For the first time, users are able to generate high quality perspective images as required for applications such as virtual endoscopy and colonoscopy, and stereoscopic image generation.
The synchronous approach to reactive and real-time systems
Authors: Albert Benveniste, Gérard Berry
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

This special issue is devoted to the synchronous approach to reactive and real-time programming. This introductory paper presents and discusses the application fields and the principles of synchronous programming. The major concern of the synchronous approach is to base synchronous programming languages on mathematical models. This makes it possible to handle compilation, logical correctness proofs, and verifications of real-time programs in a formal way, leading to a clean and precise methodology for design and programming.
