This open access book discusses "slow electronics", the study of devices processing signals with low frequencies. Computers have the remarkable ability to process data at high speeds, but they encounter difficulties when handling signals with low frequencies of less than ~100Hz. They unexpectedly require a substantial amount of energy. This poses a challenge for such as biomedical wearab

.NET is far from dead. Although JavaScript, Go, and Swift have gathered plenty of developer attention, .NET remains a dominant framework. But it hasn't been entirely smooth sailing. With .NET's coupling to Windows environments, .NET apps haven't had access to the bleeding edge of server automation or application deployment. Configuration management tools have only recently supported Wind

This guide introduces GNU Octave, a powerful, open-source software environment for scientific computing and numerical problem-solving. Through practical applications in linear algebra and calculus, readers will learn to leverage Octave's computational capabilities while strengthening their mathematical understanding. The text demonstrates Octave's functionality across key mathematical do

Cloud deployments have not only changed the way companies run mission critical databases; they've also transformed the roles of many people in production. With this practical report, database and system administrators, IT managers, and DevOps engineers will learn the ins and outs of running databases in the cloud. You'll explore the types of databases available, the difference between st

Artificial intelligence (AI) depends on data. In sensitive domains - such as healthcare, security, finance, and many more - there is therefore tension between unleashing the power of AI and maintaining the confidentiality and security of the relevant data. This book - intended for researchers in academia and R&D engineers in industry - explains how advances in three areas - AI, privacy-p

Intel Galileo and Intel Galileo Gen 2: API Features and Arduino Projects for Linux Programmers provides detailed information about Intel Galileo and Intel Galileo Gen 2 boards for all software developers interested in Arduino and the Linux platform. The book covers the new Arduino APIs and is an introduction for developers on natively using Linux. Author Manoel Carlos Ramon is a member o

In this book, you'll find information about a set of libraries developed within the Apache Commons (also referred to as "Commons"). Commons is a set of small, popular components which forms a Top-level Project at the Apache Software Foundation. Ranging from the elementary to the complex, many would consider some of these libraries indispensable to any Java project. These components are s

This is an intro to C for folks who already know how to program in another language. The first half of the book is written in a tutorial style, while the second half is a reference section complete with examples (inspired by the incomparable Turbo C Bible). The goal is to keep this up-to-date with the latest C standards. This guide assumes that you've already got some programming knowled

There is currently no comprehensive scientific study that addresses the problem of financing projects using Distributed Ledger (blockchain) Technology (DLT) that are not themselves embedded in the blockchain ecosystem, particularly in the context of long-term and capital-intensive investments. This book fills this gap. It poses a number of research questions such as what financing model/

This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems. There are two versions of the book, one for MATLAB and one for Python. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students.The book outlines
