Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 4to (26.5 cm), IX, 111 pp. Publisher's laminated boards. "B Factories are particle colliders at which specific subatomic particles - B mesons - are produced abundantly. The purpose is to study the properties of their decays in great detail in order to shed light on a mystery of eminently larger scale: why do we live in a universe composed of anti-matter? This book introduces readers to the physics laws of the CP asymmetry, touching on experimental requirements needed to perform such measurements at the subatomic level, and illustrating the main findings of the contemporary B Factories." (publisher's synopsis)

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2017 8vo (23.5 cm), XVII, 208 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: This book discusses an efficient random linear network coding scheme, called BATched Sparse code, or BATS code, which is proposed for communication through multi-hop networks with packet loss. Multi-hop wireless networks have applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), space, and under-water network communications, where the packet loss rate per network link is high, and feedbacks have long delays and are unreliable. Traditional schemes like retransmission and fountain codes are not sufficient to resolve the packet loss so that the existing communication solutions for multi-hop wireless networks have either long delay or low throughput when the network length is longer than a few hops. These issues can be resolved by employing network coding in the network, but the high computational and storage costs of such schemes prohibit their implementation in many devices, in particular, IoT devices that… Read More

Elsevier Science, 1973 8vo (23.5 cm), XII, 182 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj stained and frayed at extremities, spine sunned, binding and internally very good, inscribed author name on the title). Banach algebras are mathematical structures that combine elements of Banach spaces (complete normed vector spaces) with the multiplication operation satisfying certain properties. Specifically, a Banach algebra is a Banach space equipped with a bilinear operation (multiplication) that is both associative and compatible with the norm on the space. Banach algebras arise naturally in various areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, harmonic analysis, operator theory, and algebraic geometry. The book is an introduction to Banach algebras and consists of five chapters: I. General Information about Banach Algebras; II. Commutative Banach Algebras; III. Analytic Functions in Banach Algebras; IV. Algebras with an Involution; V. Function Algebra.

Now Publishers, 2019 8vo (23.5 cm). VIII, 131 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This monograph provides an overview of bandit algorithms inspired by various aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), such as click models, online ranker evaluation, personalization or the cold-start problem. Using a survey style, each chapter focuses on a specific IR problem and explains how it was addressed with various bandit approaches. Within each section, all the algorithms are presented in chronological order. The monograph shows how specific concepts related to bandit algorithms. This comprehensive, chronological approach enables the author to explain the impact of IR on the development of new bandit algorithms as well as the impact of bandit algorithms on the development of new methods in IR. The survey is primarily intended for two groups of readers: researchers in Information Retrieval or Machine Learning and practicing data scientists. It is accessible to anyone who has completed introductory to intermediate level… Read More

Laterza, 2006 8vo (21 cm), XVIII, 333, [17] pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). From the blurb: "Un mondo che si considera prospero e civile, segnato da disuguaglianze e squilibri al suo interno, ma forte di unamministrazione stabile e di uneconomia integrata; allesterno, popoli costretti a sopravvivere, minacciati dalla fame e dalla guerra, e che sempre più spesso chiedono di entrare; una frontiera militarizzata per filtrare profughi e immigrati; e autorità di governo che debbono decidere volta per volta il comportamento da tenere verso queste emergenze. Potrebbe sembrare una descrizione del nostro mondo, e invece è la situazione in cui si trovò per secoli limpero romano di fronte ai barbari."

Shire, 2008 8vo (21 cm), 32 pp. Printed wrappers. "Many people consult a barometer before going out, to see what the weather is likely to be. Barometers measure the general pressure of the atmosphere, which changes with the weather: falling pressure generally heralds rain; rising pressure predicts fine weather. The simple mercury barometer originated in seventeenth century Italy and was soon copied in France and Britain. In the nineteenth century demand increased for domestic and scientific barometers. They were needed for weather forecasting, and surveyors carried them to measure height above sea level. Since 1850, mercury barometers have been gradually ousted by aneroids, which are smaller and more robust but nowadays equally accurate." (from the blurb)

A Citadel Press, 1976 8vo (21 cm), 123 pp. Laminated wrappers (canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). From the blurb: "Max Weber, the brilliant German social philosopher, devoted a great part of his thinking to developing a methodology for social sciences. Weber believed that social science, unlike physical science, was not limited to formulating laws of behavior, but could also be applied to determining the deeper meanings behind peoples’ actions. 'Basic Concepts In Sociology' presents in one volume the essence of Weber’s thinking."

PHI Learning, 2013 8vo (23.5 cm), XII, 375 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This book provides detailed fundamental treatment of the underlying physics and operational characteristics of most commonly used semi-conductor devices, covering diodes and bipolar transistors, opto-electronic devices, junction field-effect transistors, and MOS transistors. In addition, basic circuits utilising diodes, bipolar transistors, and field-effect transistors are described, and examples are presented which give a good idea of typical performance parameters and the associated waveforms. A brief history of semiconductor devices is included so that the student develops an appreciation of the major technological strides that have made todays IC technology possible. Important concepts are brought out in a simple and lucid manner rather than simply stating them as facts. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the concepts and also to make the student aware of the typical magnitudes of physical quantities encountered in… Read More
