In this book, Hansen presents a collection of structured multicomputer programs for computational science, with the unifying idea of programming paradigm

Multiagent Systems is the title of a collection of papers dedicated to surveying specific themes of Multiagent Systems (MAS) and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). All of them authored by leading researchers of this dynamic multidisciplinary field.

This book makes a clear presentation of the traditional topics included in a course of undergraduate parallel programming. As explained by the authors, it was developed from their own experience in classrooms, introducing their students to parallel programming. It can…

This book is an applied introduction to the problems and solutions of modern computer vision. It offers a collection of selected, well-tested methods (theory and algorithms), aiming to balance difficulty and applicability. It can be considered a starting point to…

The paper provides a brief introduction into a relatively new discipline: artificial immune systems (AIS). These are computer systems exploiting the natural immune system (or NIS for brevity) metaphor: protect an organism against invaders. Hence, a natural field of applications…

Electrocrystallization of PbO2 on glassy carbon electrodes was studied in 1 M HNO3 + 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2 using cyclic voltammetry rotating disk electrode experiments, chronoamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. In order to explain the experimental curves, a new theory of…

The purpose of this pilot study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Diabetic Care Teacher Support Questionnaire, a 31-item self-report instrument to assess diabetic children’s perceptions of the diabetes specific support received from their teachers at…

The aim of this pilot study was to develop and assess the preliminary psychometric properties of the Health Professional Support Questionnaire for diabetic children, an instrument to assess the perceived support from the health professional (doctor or nurse) attending children.…

Deafness is often regarded as just a one and only phenomenon. Accordingly, deaf people are pictured as a unified body of people who share a single problem. From a medical point of view, we find it usual to work with…

The electrochemical oxidation of aniline at low concentration was carried out in phosphate buffer solutions of pH 5. Both electrochemical and spectroscopic results indicate that during the initial stages of aniline oxidation, a dimerisation process takes place. The dimer has…
