Originally published in 1981, this was the first textbook on programming in the Prolog language and is still the definitive introductory text on Prolog.
This book reports the state of the art of energy-efficient electrical motor driven system technologies, which can be used now and in the near future to achieve significant and cost-effective energy savings.
The advent of low cost computation has made many previously intractable econometric models empirically feasible and computational methods are now realized as an integral part of the theory.
This book provides a comprehensive and advanced overview of the basic theory of thermal remote sensing and its application in hydrology, agriculture, and forestry.
In June 2013, after lengthy and complex negotiations the EU adopted the recast "e;asylum package"e; which represents a significant step forward in the future development of CEAS.
