Book Synopsis Physically Based Rendering by : Matt Pharr
Download or read book Physically Based Rendering written by Matt Pharr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 1059 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rendering is a crucial component of computer graphics— the conversion of a description of a 3D scene into an image for display. Algorithms for animation, geometric modeling, and texturing all must feed their results through some sort of rendering process for the results to be visible in an image. Focusing on realistic images, physically based rendering incorporates ideas from a range of disciplines, including physics, biology, psychology, cognitive science, and mathematics. This book presents the algorithms of modern photorealistic rendering and follows step by step the creation of a complete rendering system. As each new rendering concept is introduced it is also shown implemented in code—there is no better way to understand the subtle and complex process of rendering. The code itself is highly readable, written in the literate programming style that mixes text describing the system with the code that implements it. The result is a stunning achievement in graphics education for students, professionals, and researchers.*CD-ROM with the source code for a complete rendering system for Windows, OS X, & Linux—with many examples of images created by the system throughout the 4 color text*The code and text are tightly woven together through the technique of literate programming with a unique indexing feature that lists all locations of functions, variables, and methods on the page they are first described*The most complete guide to understanding, designing, and building a rendering system
Book Synopsis Business Ethics by : Andrew Kernohan
Download or read book Business Ethics written by Andrew Kernohan and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Ethics: An Interactive Introduction connects the academic to the practical, extracting the basic elements of rigorous philosophical ethics into a format that can be understood and applied in the business world. Concepts such as utility, duty, and sustainability are given practical value and connected to examples and methods familiar to business people. Classical ethical theories are surveyed, as are modern perspectives on justice, equality, and the environment. Where possible, quantitative examples and methods are used to show that ethics need not be subjective or vague. Kernohan provides an overview of the basic tools of ethical decision-making and shows how each can be used to resolve moral problems in business environments. Readers are then invited to apply those tools by completing a series of online exercises, receiving immediate objective feedback on their success. The book and its accompanying exercises thus work in concert, offering a unique opportunity for interactive self-directed learning.

Book Synopsis The Mathematical Structure of Raster Graphics by : Eugene L. Fiume
Download or read book The Mathematical Structure of Raster Graphics written by Eugene L. Fiume and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mathematical Structure of Raster Graphics presents a mathematical characterization of the structure of raster graphics, a popular and diverse form of computer graphics. The semantics and theory of the mathematical structure of raster graphics are discussed. Notations that help to clarify some of the concepts generally considered to be fundamental to computer graphics are included. Comprised of seven chapters, this book begins with a description of a general framework for specifying and manipulating scenes. Basic graphic entities, called primitive graphic objects, are defined using a simple notation over a Euclidean space. The reader is then introduced to a semantics of visibility; a mathematical semantics of rendering, developed using the very basic notion of measure; and a mathematical formalization of bit-mapped graphics. A framework for specifying illumination models is also described, along with the complexity of abstract ray tracing. This monograph will be a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of mathematics and computer graphics, and to those with some basic computer graphics background.

Book Synopsis Emergence and Control of Zoonotic Viral Encephalitides by : Charles H. Calisher
Download or read book Emergence and Control of Zoonotic Viral Encephalitides written by Charles H. Calisher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this period of obvious natural emergence of viral and other diseases, it is unclear as to what diseases are emerging, why they are emerging, and what, if anything, can be done to prevent or diminish their impact. This book, a compendium of presentations made at an international meeting of experts, provides summaries of areas of concern and details as to how disease agents such as Nipah and Hendra viruses in Australasia and West Nile virus in the Americas might have suddenly appeared. Either by alterations in natural habitats and diversity or by chance, pathogens emerge from time to time. This book addresses various aspects of such emergences, such as pathogenetic mechanisms of viruses, diagnosis of viral infections, viral host-management strategies, viral genetics, vaccine development and application. It is especially valuable for laboratory virologists, disease ecologists, physicians, and those who want to understand the complexities of viral characteristics.

Book Synopsis Flash MX Application And Interface Design by : Connor McDonald
Download or read book Flash MX Application And Interface Design written by Connor McDonald and published by Apress. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The days of Flash as a creative luxury are long gone. After months of downsizing, Flash creativity has been on a huge rationalization program. It is no longer enough to present animation in millions of colors and a hundred transparencies. It is no longer sufficient to provide interactivity and dynamism for their own sake. The purpose of this collection is to show how designers have taken Flash and made it work for its supper. What we discover is a series of creations that place Flash at the hub of cutting edge web content. The end result is a snapshot of Flash as the ideal medium. In these amazing examples, we see the software pushed to its limits to create unbeatable applications—a collapsible family tree, an interactive video learning system, and a drawing tool, capable of running online! Beyond this, we dip into the back-end capabilities to look at how to improve Flash still further. Some staple XML and PHP routines are brought in to add a bit of spice, while Flash's mysterious sharedObject command is hunted down and tamed to create a hybrid Tamagotchi houseplant—perfectly suited to lure surfers back to your website!

This book was released on 1989-07-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume draws from a variety of sources to present a reference work for this remarkable volcanic province. Detailed descriptions of 44 major potentially active (Holocene) volcanoes form the core of the book. A compendium of geographical and morphological data on location, type, synonyms, summit elevation, edifice height, and status for each center, is followed by a summary of the structural and volcanological evolution of the edi- fice, historic and present activity, petrological and geochemical data, and an assessment of volcanic hazard. Each entry is superbly illustrated with a false color Landsat Thematic Mapper image, maps and ground photographs. Chapters on Holocene minor centers, and long-lived silicic caldera complexes are also well illustrated and summarise the available information on these important structures. General characteristics of these Holocene centers are then synthesised with data from older episodes of volcanism in a final chapter discussing regional volcanic evolution. In addition, the volume also contains a database summarising morphological, relative age, and volcanological data for all identifiable volcanic editifices in this volcanic province.
