Greening Airports considers the "greening", i.e., more sustainable development, of the entire air transport system - airports, air traffic control, and airlines - that could be achieved by the development and implementation of advanced operations and technologies. A broad overvi…
This is a revision of the classic introduction to the field for all computer scientists and engineers. It includes improved examples of current architectures and updated pipelining and memory chapters to address modern processors.
In addition to thoroughly updating every aspect of the text to reflect the most current computing technology, the third edition uses standard 32-bit MIPS 32 as the primary teaching ISA; presents the assembler-to-HLL translations in both C and Java; highlights the latest developm…
Replaces Compton's Manual of Field Geology (1962). A guide to advances in the increasingly broad and interpretive discipline of formation mapping theory. Thorough, yet compact enough for use in the field, it consists of brief descriptions of textures and structures useful in int…
