Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This thesis explores the potential and limitations of low-cost, space-borne data in flood inundation modelling under unavoidable, intrinsic uncertainty. In particular, the potential in supporting hydraulic modelling of floods of: NASA's SRTMtopographic data, SARsatellite imagery of flood extents and radar altimetry of water levels are analyzed in view of inflow and parametric uncertainty. Three river reaches with various scales (from medium to large) and topographic characteristics (e.g. valley-filling, two-level embankments, large and flat floodplain) are used as test sites.In conclusion,the usefulness of this datais discussed.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - With this practical, applied approach to learning programming readers can easily grasp foundational programming concepts by solving practical, relevant problems in a game development context. The foundational technical content, such as data types, variables, functions, and arrays, are covered from this unique problem-solving approach. Readers will use techniques like pseudocode and process mapping to formulate a solution without the need to type anything into a computer. They will then convert the solution into executable code. This allows readers to exercise the problem-solving process distinctly from the syntax and technical issues associated with programming on a computer.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explains the quantitative reasoning required by the fractional calculus applied to complex physical, social, and biological phenomena. Fractional calculus is inextricably linked to complexity and provides a way to think systematically about complex phenomena without restricting it to a particular discipline. The book presents the case for science moving away from the fragmented disciplinary constructs devised to make the understanding of complex phenomena intellectually manageable, thus regaining its integrated nature as 'natural philosophy' and underscoring how fractional calculus is the vehicle for accomplishing this task.
