This book gives comprehensive and balanced coverage of the principles of cognitive radio communications and networks, with details of their implementation, including the latest developments in the standards and spectrum policy. Case studies and descriptions of platforms and test beds, together with sample code, give hands-on knowledge of how cognitive radio systems can be implemented. Extensive treatment is given to the 802.22 and 802.16h (WiM...

The fields of stem cell research, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cloning are very closely related. It is important for researchers in each of these disciplines to be aware of the methods and principles in the others. Elsevier publishes some of the highest individual references in these areas. Bringing together the principles, applications, and basic understanding in these related areas of science will provide a new reference wh...

A key task of engineers is to design and analyse systems, however, they often have to do this without knowing a systems parameters. BSS is a very important area in signal processing as it enables engineers to derive the unknown inputs of a system from its known outputs. It also enables the separation of a set of signals from mixed set of signals. This is particularly important in telecommunications and biomedical engineering but is also key in...

Containing the collective knowledge of hundreds of years of clinical experience, this book has been written by clinicians for clinicians. The authors represent a range of disciplines that regularly encounter patients with headache, orofacial pain, and bruxism, each condition is explored in detail.

Traditional methods for creating intelligent computational systems haveprivileged private "internal" cognitive and computational processes. Incontrast, "Swarm Intelligence" argues that humanintelligence derives from the interactions of individuals in a social worldand further, that this model of intelligence can be effectively applied toartificially intelligent systems. The authors first present the foundations ofthis new approach through an e...
