Practical Computer Vision with SimpleCV

“世界版畫史經典譯叢”從全球視野出發，翻譯一些經過時間考驗、真正有價值的版畫研究經典名著，從中發現、提煉、細化那些對於中國版畫史研究甚至美術史研究有借鑒意義的思路和方法，填補相關學術空白。《版畫知見錄》(How Prints Look: Photographs with a Commentary)是一部十分獨特的版畫鑒賞指南，作者對於中古以來各種版畫技巧及其表現如數家珍，以大量版畫名作的細節放大局部配以一針見血的解說，再加上“補注”中對於一些版畫史關鍵問題的闡釋，把讀者帶入圖文並茂的版畫世界，敘述平實卻不失專業、細緻入微又聯繫宏觀，雖然只是薄薄一冊，便可作為二十世紀中葉西方版畫史研究的代表之作。

Governing After War explores how wartime processes affects post-war state-building efforts when rebels win a civil war and come into power. Post-war governance is a continuation of war--although violence has ceased, the victor must consolidate its control over the state through a process of internal conquest. This means carefully making choices about resource allocation towards development and security. Where does the victor choose to spend, and why? And what are the implications for ultimately consolidating power and preventing conflict recurrence? The book examines wartime rebel-civilian ties under rebel governance and explains how these ties--along with rebel governing institutions--shape the rebel victors' post-war various resource allocation strategies to establish control at the sub-national level. In turn, successfully balancing resources dedicated toward development and security helps the victor to consolidate power. The book relies on mixed-methods evidence from Zimbabwe and L

OpenFOAM software and its growing popularity is attributed to the scope of customization for specific applications and large scale parallel simulations. This open source software is widely used in aerospace community and its popularity is increasing at a rapid pace. Introduction to OpenFOAM for Aeronautical Engineers covers aerospace CFD which includes turbulence modelling, external aerodynamics, compressible flows, sprays and combustion from the OpenFOAM usage perspective. The book provides adequate examples covering most of the aspects of CFD code and enables readers to carry out their own modifications. Additionally, modification of existing solvers and utilities to implement new models as well as tips and tricks related to solvers used in aeronautical applications are included. Lastly, a short introduction to Linux and C++ is provided along with references to other easily available sources. Introduction to OpenFOAM for Aeronautical Engineers is for aerospace researchers, engineers,
