Robotic Exploration and Landmark Determination: Hardware-Efficient Algorithms and FPGA Implementations

Robotic Exploration and Landmark Determination: Hardware-Efficient Algorithms and FPGA Implementations

Product Description

Much of the research effort in mobile robots in the recent past has been on sensing and design of time-efficient algorithms for tasks such as localization, mapping and navigation. Mobile robots typically employ an embedded computer for high level computations. As applications of robots expand, there is a need to investigate architecturally efficient choices for this embedded computing platform. In particular, it is valuable to process data to obtain time, space and energy-efficient solutions for various robotic tasks.

A Course in Derivative Securities: Introduction to Theory and Computation

A Course in Derivative Securities: Introduction to Theory and Computation

Product Description

This book aims at a middle ground between the introductory books on derivative securities and those that provide advanced mathematical treatments. It is written for mathematically capable students who have not necessarily had prior exposure to probability theory, stochastic calculus, or computer programming. It provides derivations of pricing and hedging formulas (using the probabilistic change of numeraire technique) for standard options, exchange options, options on forwards and futures, quanto options, exotic options, caps, floors and swaptions, as well as VBA code implementing the formulas. It also contains an introduction to Monte Carlo, binomial models, and finite-difference methods.

Integrated Circuit and System Design. Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation: 17th International Workshop, PATM

Posted by bandr under Science & Engineering

Nadine Azemard, Lars Svensson “Integrated Circuit and System Design. Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation: 17th International Workshop, PATMOS 2007, Gothenburg, Sweden, … ”
Springer | 2007-10-03 | ISBN: 354074441X | 583 pages | PDF | 12,9 MB

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation, PATMOS 2007, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in September 2007.
The 36 revised full papers and 19 revised poster papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 key notes and 2 industrial papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on high-level design, low power design techniques, low power analog circuits, statistical static timing analysis, power modeling and optimization, low power routing optimization, security and asynchronous design, low power applications, modeling and optimization, low power techniques and applications, as well as design challenges in real-life projects.

Quanta, Logic and Spacetime

Quanta, Logic and Spacetime

Quanta, Logic and Spacetime

Product Description
In this expanded edition of Quanta, Logic and Spacetime, the logical base is greatly broadened and quantum-computational aspects of the approach are brought to the fore. The first two parts of this edition may indeed be regarded as providing a self-contained and logic-based foundation for — and an introduction to — the enterprise known as quantum computing. The rest of the work takes on the task (as in the first edition) of computing from first principles certain dynamical expressions which turn out to compare favorably with the Lagrangian densities of the (massless) Standard Model, including gravity. The logic of this process is now subject to greater formal rigor than was possible in the first edition, and the central thesis — that quantum physics at a fundamental level may itself be realized as a species of quantum computation — is strongly underscored.

 Statistical and Computational Pharmacogenomics

Statistical and Computational Pharmacogenomics

Product Description

Building a bridge between pharmacogenomics and statistics, Statistical and Computational Pharmacogenomics allows researchers to readily familiarize themselves with this promising and revolutionary area of science. It outlines the powerful statistical techniques used in the fast-growing field of pharmacogenomics, which seeks to understand the relationships between interpatient variability in drug response and specific genomic sites. Providing geneticists with the tools needed to understand and model the genetic variations for drug responses, this seminal work also equips statisticians with the motivation and ideas needed to explore genomic data.
