Computer-Aided Molecular Design,Theory and Applications
The computer-aided design of novel molecular systems has undoubtedly reached the stage of a mature discipline offering a broad range of tools available to virtually any chemist. However, there are few books coveringmost of these techniques in a single volume and using a language which may generally be understood by students or chemists with a limited knowledge of theoretical chemistry. The purpose of this book is precisely to review, in such a language, both methodological aspects and important applications of computer-aided molecular design (CAMD), with a special emphasis on drug design and protein modeling. Using numerous examples ranging from molecular models to shapes, surfaces, and volumes, Computer-Aided Molecular Design provides coverage of the role molecular graphics play in CAMD. The text also treats the very notion of the structure of molecular systems by presenting both the various experimental techniques giving access to it and the most common model builders based on force fields. Separate chapters are devoted to other important topics in CAMD, such as Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations; most common quantum chemical methods; derivation and visualization of molecular properties; and molecular similarity. Finally, strategies used in protein modeling and drug design, such as receptor mapping and the pharmacophore approach, are presented and illustrated by several examples. The book is addressed to students and researchers who wish to enter this new exciting field of molecular sciences, but also practitioners in CAMD as a comprehensive source of refreshing information in their field. Key Features * Presents a comprehensive introduction to computer-aided molecular design * Describes applications of CAMD through the use of numerous examples * Emphasizes strategies used in protein modeling and drug design * Includes separate chapters devoted to other important topics in CAMD, such as: * Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations * Common quantum chemical methods * Derivation and visualization of molecular properties * Molecular similarity

Computer applications in spacecraft design and operation,
The advantages of computer-aided systems in spacecraft design, manufacture and operation are now widely recognized. Computers are indispensable in every field of activity relating to spacecraft, from the initial conceptual design and feasibility study to the actual construction and launch into space, with the subsequent operation being controlled from ground stations. This book contains the edited version of some of the papers on topics in spacecraft design and operation presented at the first international conference on Computer Aided Design, Manufacture and Operation in the Aeronautics and Space Industries (COMPAS 87), held in Paris, June 1987. The conference was organized by the Computational Mechanics Institute, Southampton, UK, with the support of the US Air Force and the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development (EOARD).

Computer Logic,Design Principles and Applications
An understanding of modern computer logic-incorporating core knowledge of number systems, number conversions, Boolean algebra, memories, and logic circuits-is fundamental to further study of computer architectures, system software, and computer networks. Computer Logic: Design Principles and Applications introduces and describes the relevant concepts, principles and applications of modern computer logic design. The book is self-contained, with an introductory chapter that concisely covers the history of computing devices, as well as number systems, number conversions, signed and unsigned integers, external code, and digital and digitizing concepts. Dedicated chapters on Boolean algebra, transistor circuits, combinatorial logic circuits, and sequential logic circuits round off the work. The emphasis is on design and applications. Topics and features: * Explains Boolean Algebra and logic design essentials in clear fashion * Includes modern topics, such as Unicode, Exclusive Or Theorems, unipolar transistors, copper technology, flash memory, Hardware Descriptive Language, and logic simulation software tools * Thorough coverage of combinatorial logic and provides numerous design examples, such as gates, decoders and encoders, comparators, carry-save and carry-propagated adders, multiplication trees, and programmable logic arrays * Provides chapter-by-chapter summary points, supplementary examples, and exercises * Sequential logic presented, with numerous design examples, such as flip-flops, counters, shift registers, sequencers, and excitation tables With its well-focused approach and clarity of presentation, this new text/reference is an excellent resource for advanced students and practitioners in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. Anyone seeking to develop a solid grounding in computer logic, circuit design, and logic design will find the book an essential and practical learning tool.

Computer Applications in Plasma Science and Engineering,
This volume, which contains 15 contributions, is based on a minicourse held at the 1987 IEEE Plasma Science Meeting. The purpose of the lectures in the course was to acquaint the students with the multidisciplinary nature of computational techniques and the breadth of research areas in plasma science in which computation can address important physics and engineering design issues. These involve: electric and magnetic fields, MHD equations, chemistry, radiation, ionization etc. The contents of the contributions, written subsequent to the minicourse, stress important aspects of computer applications. They are: 1) the numerical methods used; 2) the range of applicability; 3) how the methods are actually employed in research and in the design of devices; and, as a compendium, 4) the multiplicity of approaches possible for any one problem. The materials in this book are organized by both subject and applications which display some of the richness in computational plasma physics.

Readings in Human-Computer Interaction,Toward the Year 2000
The effectiveness of the user-computer interface has become increasingly important as computer systems have become useful tools for persons not trained in computer science. In fact, the interface is often the most important factor in the success or failure of any computer system. Dealing with the numerous subtly interrelated issues and technical, behavioral, and aesthetic considerations consumes a large and increasing share of development time and a corresponding percentage of the total code for any given application. A revision of one of the most successful books on human-computer interaction, this compilation gives students, researchers, and practitioners an overview of the significant concepts and results in the field and a comprehensive guide to the research literature. Like the first edition, this book combines reprints of key research papers and case studies with synthesizing survey material and analysis by the editors. It is significantly reorganized, updated, and enhanced; over 90% of the papers are new. An invaluable resource for systems designers, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, managers, and anyone concerned with the effectiveness of user-computer interfaces, it is also designed for use as a primary or supplementary text for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in human-computer interaction and interface design. * Human computer interaction--historical, intellectual, and social * Developing interactive systems, including design, evaluation methods, and development tools * The interaction experience, through a variety of sensory modalities including vision, touch, gesture, audition, speech, and language * Theories of information processing and issues of human-computer fit and adaptation

Computer Applications in Near Net-Shape Operations,
Having edited "Journal of Materials Processing Technology" (previously entitled "Journal of Mechanical Working Technology") for close on 25 years, I have seen the many dramatic changes that have occurred in the materials processing field. Long gone are the days when the only "materials processing" carried out was virtually the forming of conventional metals and alloys, and when the development of a new product or process in a great number of cases called for several months of repetitive trial-and-error,' with many (mostly intuition- or experience-based) expensive and time-consuming modifications being made to the dies, until success was achieved. Even when a 'successful' product was formed, its mechanical properties, in terms of springback and dimensional accuracy, thickness variations, residual stresses, surface finish, etc. , remained to be determined. Bulk-forming operations usually required expensive machining to be carried out on the product to impart the required dimensional accuracy and surface fmish. Over the years, the experience-based craft of metal forming has given way to the science of materials processing. With the use of the computer, forming operations can be simulated with accuracy, to determine the best forming route and the associated forming loads and die stresses, and to predict the mechanical properties of the formed product, even down to its surface texture.

Human-Computer Interaction,Design Issues, Solutions, and Applications
Hailed on first publication as a compendium of foundational principles and cutting-edge research, The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook has become the gold standard reference in this field. Derived from select chapters of this groundbreaking resource, Human-Computer Interaction: Design Issues, Solutions, and Applications focuses on HCI from a privacy, security, and trust perspective. Under the aegis of Andrew Sears and Julie Jacko, expert practitioners address the myriad issues involved when designing the interactions between users and computing technologies. As expected in a book that begins by pondering "Why we should think before doing", you get an interdisciplinary resource that explores the relationship between people and technology.
