Computers : Computer Architecture

NURBS (Non-uniform Rational B-Splines) are the computer graphics industry standard for curve and surface description. They are now incorporated into all standard computer-aided design and drafting programs (for instance, Autocad). They are also extensively used in all aspects of computer graphics including much of the modeling used for special effects in film and animation, consumer products, robot control, and automobile and aircraft design. So, the topic is particularly important at this time because NURBS are really at the peak of interest as applied to computer graphics and CAD of all kinds. Many people who use computer graphics technology do not have degrees in maths or even computer graphics. This book - which requires a much lower level of mathematical sophistication than most geometric modeling books - goes a long way to making this topic accessible to many thousands who might not otherwise be able to use this technology successfully. As such it should be attractive to a much wider audience than the typical Computer Graphics reference book. more...

Volume 37 is concerned with the use and role of modelling in chemical kinetics and seeks to show the interplay of theory or simulation with experiment in a diversity of physico-chemical areas in which kinetics measurements provide significant physical insight. Areas of application covered within the volume include electro- and interfacial chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, solid state chemistry and chemical engineering. A leading contributor to this general area has been Professor W. John Albery, FRS, to whom the contributors and editors dedicate this book. more...
