This is an excellent introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences. The book approaches the subject via pulsed-coupled neural networks, which have at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models. These allow for highly flexible modeling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. The more advanced pulse-averaged equations are discussed.
The continuing growth of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based mobile telephones has brought with it increasingly rapid growth in interest in mobile communications interconnect problems and standards. For the rapid proliferation of mobile communications to be sustained without overloading the system, harmonization of the networks...

Sports medicine is a passion and hobby that increases my effectiveness as a primary care physician. The spirit of the George Sheehan essay entitled, вÐÑEvery patient is an athleteвÐÑ is the foundation of my approach to patients. The first edition of Bull's Handbook of Sports...
Research in Bayesian analysis and statistical decision theory is rapidly expanding and diversifying, making it increasingly more difficult for any single researcher to stay up to date on all current research frontiers. This book provides a review of current research challenges and opportunities. While the book can not exhaustively cover all...
In this book, Dr Cole Hendrigan examines the options for sustainable transport and land-use planning based on building heights, mixes of land-use, transportation mode capacity and others to build the next generation of parks, housing, commercial and retail spaces along high-capacity rail corridors. Following the paradigm of ‘Transit...
Tile-based online mapping systems have replaced traditional Web GIS systems, because of their improved speed and usability. The trend towards tile-base systems was started by Internet services companies, such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. They have been followed by the traditional GIS community, government organizations and open source...
