Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book redefines climate protection measures and resets climate protection targets in accordance with what is scientifically necessary by introducing new actors (e.g., the financial industry as an investor and political actor), by highlighting new goals, and by introducing new measures (global feed-in-tariff; ending all subsidies for fossil energies). The reader is provided with a sometimes provocative overview of recent developments andfailures, but also successful instrumentsfor fighting climate change and global warming. The book shows that investment in renewables and a sustainable economy is not only a worthwhile cause but has also economic value.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Action Analysis is one of the fundamental princples of animation that underpins all types of animation: 2d, 3d, computer animation, stop motion, etc. This is a fundamental skill that all animators need to create polished, believable animation. An example of Action Analysis would be Shrek's swagger in the film, Shrek. The animators clearly understood (through action analysis) the type of walk achieved by a large and heavy individual (the real) and then applied their observations to the animated character of an ogre (the fantastic). It is action analysis that enabled the animation team to visually translate a real life situation into an ogre's walk, achieving such fantastic results.Key animation skills are demonstrated with in-depth illustrations, photographs and live action footage filmed with high speed cameras. Detailed Case Studies and practical assignments ground action analysis methodology with real life examples. Action Analysis for Animators is a essential guide for students, amateurs and professionals.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This clinically oriented volume reviews the signs, symptoms and treatment of common ocular diseases and disorders in infants and children. Ocular disorders are of major significance as they often provide clues to the presence, not only of systemic diseases, but also of other congenital malformations.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Desktop Grid Computing presents common techniques used in numerous models, algorithms, and tools developed during the last decade to implement desktop grid computing. These techniques enable the solution of many important sub-problems for middleware design, including scheduling, data management, security, load balancing, result certification, and fault tolerance.The book's first part covers the initial ideas and basic concepts of desktop grid computing. The second part explores challenging current and future problems. Each chapter presents the sub-problems, discusses theoretical and practical issues, offers details about implementation and experiments, and includes references to further reading and notes.One of the first books to give a thorough and up-to-date presentation of this topic, this resource describes various approaches and models as well as recent trends that underline the evolution of desktop grids. It balances the theory of designing desktop grid middleware and architecture with applications and real-world deployment on large-scale platforms.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The negative impacts of carbon emissions from human activities continue to dramatically reshape the environmental, political, and social landscape. These impacts coupled with cap and trade schemes iterate the importance and need to properly measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon Footprint Analysis: Concepts, Methods, Implementation, and Case Studies provides up-to-date technical information and practical guidance on measuring and reducing energy and GHG emissions. Presenting a comprehensive framework for carbon management, this book:Provides definitions, concepts, benefits, and background information regarding carbon footprint analysesDiscusses the GHG accounting methodsOutlines the general systems framework for conducting an audit Features four case studies in higher education, service, and manufacturing organizationsThe book includes detailed discussions of the concepts and explains how the different concepts fit together. It supplies the necessary background as well as systematic tools and procedures for organizations to measure and reduce their carbon footprints and begin to adapt to a carbon-constrained world. 272 pp. Englisch.
