Machine Learning Methods in the Environmental Sciences: Neural Networks and Kernels

Machine Learning Methods in the Environmental Sciences: Neural Networks and Kernels

Product Description
Machine learning methods originated from artificial intelligence and are now used in various fields in environmental sciences today. This is the first single-authored textbook providing a unified treatment of machine learning methods and their applications in the environmental sciences. Due to their powerful nonlinear modeling capability, machine learning methods today are used in satellite data processing, general circulation models(GCM), weather and climate prediction, air quality forecasting, analysis and modeling of environmental data, oceanographic and hydrological forecasting, ecological modeling, and monitoring of snow, ice and forests. The book includes end-of-chapter review questions and an appendix listing web sites for downloading computer code and data sources. A resources website containing datasets for exercises, and password-protected solutions are available. The book is suitable for first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates. It is also valuable for researchers and practitioners in environmental sciences interested in applying these new methods to their own work.

Software & Systems Requirements Engineering: In Practice

Software & Systems Requirements Engineering: In Practice

Proven Software & Systems Requirements Engineering Techniques

“Requirements engineering is a discipline used primarily for large and complex applications. It is more formal than normal methods of gathering requirements, and this formality is needed for many large applications. The authors are experienced requirements engineers, and this book is a good compendium of sound advice based on practical experience.” –Capers Jones, Chief Scientist Emeritus, Software Productivity Research

Deliver feature-rich products faster, cheaper, and more reliably using state-of-the-art SSRE methods and modeling procedures. Written by global experts, Software & Systems Requirements Engineering: In Practice explains how to effectively manage project objectives and user needs across the entire development lifecycle. Gather functional and quality attribute requirements, work with models, perform system tests, and verify compliance. You will also learn how to mitigate risks, avoid requirements creep, and sidestep the pitfalls associated with large, complex projects.

  • Define and prioritize customer expectations using taxonomies
  • Elicit and analyze functional and quality attribute requirements
  • Develop artifact models, meta-models, and prototypes
  • Manage platform and product line development requirements
  • Derive and generate test cases from UML activity diagrams
  • Deploy validation, verification, and rapid development procedures
  • Handle RE for globally distributed software and system development projects

Product Description

WPF Control Development Unleashed

Building Advanced User Experiences

In this book, two leading Windows Presentation Foundation experts give developers everything they need to build next-generation WPF applications–software that is more robust, usable, and compelling.

Drawing on their close ties with Microsoft's WPF development team, Pavan Podila and Kevin Hoffman give you a clear, robust, and practical understanding of WPF, its underpinnings, its overall architecture, and its design philosophy. Podila and Hoffman introduce never-before-published WPF design patterns and support them with robust, real-world code examples–all presented in full color, just as they appear in Visual Studio.

The authors begin by explaining how to "think in WPF," and then introduce powerful new techniques for everything from handling 3D layouts to creating game-like physics effects. Along the way, they offer in-depth coverage of data binding, building interactivity, and control development: three of WPF's most challenging concepts. You'll learn how to choose the right WPF features for every programming challenge, and use those features far more creatively and effectively.

If you want to build truly outstanding WPF applications, this is the book that will get you there.

  • Master the patterns and techniques you need to build state-of-the-art WPF applications
  • Write more powerful and effective applications that reflect a deep understanding of WPF's design philosophy
  • Learn how WPF has evolved, and take full advantage of its growing sophistication
  • Make the most of advanced declarative programming techniques
  • Leverage IScrollInfo, virtualization, control theming, and other complex features
  • Build more powerful interactivity into your WPF applications
  • Create more visual software with 3D elements, custom animations, and shader effects
  • Optimize WPF application performance in real-world environments
