Isosurfaces by Rephael Wenger Pdf

Ever since Lorensen and Cline published their paper on the Marching Cubes algorithm, isosurfaces have been a standard technique for the visualization of 3D volumetric data. Yet there is no book exclusively devoted to isosurfaces. Isosurfaces: Geometry, Topology, and Algorithms represents the first book to focus on basic algorithms for isosurface construction. It also gives a rigorous mathematical perspective on some of the algorithms and results. In color throughout, the book covers the Marching Cubes algorithm and variants, dual contouring algorithms, multilinear interpolation, multiresolution isosurface extraction, isosurfaces in four dimensions, interval volumes, and contour trees. It also describes data structures for faster isosurface extraction as well as methods for selecting significant isovalues. For designers of visualization software, the book presents an organized overview of the various algorithms associated with isosurfaces. For graduate students, it provides a solid introduction to research in this area. For visualization researchers, the book serves as a reference to the vast literature on isosurfaces.

Complexity and Synergetics by Stefan C. Müller,Peter J. Plath,Günter Radons,Armin Fuchs Pdf

All of us are confronted with complex phenomena occurring in daily life and in the living and inanimate nature surrounding us. Our scientific curiosity strives to unravel the mechanisms at work to create such complexity. Among various approaches to solve this problem, the field of synergetics, developed by Hermann Haken, has proven very successful as a general and interdisciplinary concept for describing and explaining complex phenomena that appear in systems under non-equilibrium conditions. These comprise dynamical states in evolving systems, spatial structure-forming processes, synchronization of states and regulatory mechanisms, and many other examples. The encompassing concepts have been applied to many disciplines, like physics, chemistry, biology, and beyond those also from synergetics to information theory, brain science, economics, and others. Starting from basic methods of complexity research and synergetics, this volume contains thirty contributions on complex systems that exhibit spontaneous pattern formation far from thermal equilibrium. Written by international experts and young researchers assembled under one roof, this volume reflects state of the art research from a variety of scientific fields and disciplines where complexity theory and synergetics are important or even indispensable tools today and in the future.

Advanced Graphics Programming Using OpenGL by Tom McReynolds,David Blythe Pdf

Today truly useful and interactive graphics are available on affordable computers. While hardware progress has been impressive, widespread gains in software expertise have come more slowly. Information about advanced techniques—beyond those learned in introductory computer graphics texts—is not as easy to come by as inexpensive hardware. This book brings the graphics programmer beyond the basics and introduces them to advanced knowledge that is hard to obtain outside of an intensive CG work environment. The book is about graphics techniques—those that don’t require esoteric hardware or custom graphics libraries—that are written in a comprehensive style and do useful things. It covers graphics that are not covered well in your old graphics textbook. But it also goes further, teaching you how to apply those techniques in real world applications, filling real world needs. Emphasizes the algorithmic side of computer graphics, with a practical application focus, and provides usable techniques for real world problems. Serves as an introduction to the techniques that are hard to obtain outside of an intensive computer graphics work environment. Sophisticated and novel programming techniques are implemented in C using the OpenGL library, including coverage of color and lighting; texture mapping; blending and compositing; antialiasing; image processing; special effects; natural phenomena; artistic and non-photorealistic techniques, and many others.

NEW PARADIGM ECONOMICS by TIANYU DAI Pdf

A new era calls for new economics. This book offers a new paradigm of economics with a new perspective and a new fundamental logic system in this new century. The new paradigm originates from a fundamental fact: The main behavioral subjects of socio-economic activities are not individuals, but social organizations composed of individuals, such as families, enterprises, schools, research institutes, government branches, charity organizations and so on. So this book replaces the controversial assumption of "economic man" with the model of "the minimum economic system" abstracted from reality and establishes a new logic analysis framework of "economic unit (the minimum economic system) -- economic flow (the input and output between economic units) -- economic field (the space-time distribution of economic units and their movement)" which is totally different from all existing economics theories. As a result, this book reconstructs economics on a foundation of natural science and systems science and can explain the secret of China's rapid economic growth and other economic puzzles at the level of fundamental logic. This book replaces neoclassical and modern orthodox economics with a new economics meta-theory, making it a fascinating read and providing a valuable reference for researchers, teachers and students majoring in economics.

Data Visualization by Frits H. Post,Gregory M. Nielson,Georges-Pierre Bonneau Pdf

Data visualization is currently a very active and vital area of research, teaching and development. The term unites the established field of scientific visualization and the more recent field of information visualization. The success of data visualization is due to the soundness of the basic idea behind it: the use of computer-generated images to gain insight and knowledge from data and its inherent patterns and relationships. A second premise is the utilization of the broad bandwidth of the human sensory system in steering and interpreting complex processes, and simulations involving data sets from diverse scientific disciplines and large collections of abstract data from many sources. These concepts are extremely important and have a profound and widespread impact on the methodology of computational science and engineering, as well as on management and administration. The interplay between various application areas and their specific problem solving visualization techniques is emphasized in this book. Reflecting the heterogeneous structure of Data Visualization, emphasis was placed on these topics: -Visualization Algorithms and Techniques; -Volume Visualization; -Information Visualization; -Multiresolution Techniques; -Interactive Data Exploration. Data Visualization: The State of the Art presents the state of the art in scientific and information visualization techniques by experts in this field. It can serve as an overview for the inquiring scientist, and as a basic foundation for developers. This edited volume contains chapters dedicated to surveys of specific topics, and a great deal of original work not previously published illustrated by examples from a wealth of applications. The book will also provide basic material for teaching the state of the art techniques in data visualization. Data Visualization: The State of the Art is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and researchers in scientific and information visualization. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate level students in computer science and engineering.

Harmonic Wave Systems: Partial Differential Equations of the Helmholtz Decomposition by Victor A. Miroshnikov Pdf

Harmonic Wave Systems is the first textbook about the computational method of Decomposition in Invariant Structures (DIS) that generalizes the analytical methods of separation of variables, undetermined coefficients, asymptotic expansions, and series expansions. In recent years, there has been a boom in publications on propagation of nonlinear waves described by a fascinating list of partial differential equations (PDEs). The vast majority of wave problems are reducible to one-dimensional ones in propagation variables. However, a list of publications with two- and three-dimensional applications of the DIS method is brief. The book offers a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the DIS method in two and three dimensions using the PDE approach to the Helmholtz decomposition that provides the most general background for mathematical modelling of harmonic waves in fluid dynamics, electrodynamics, heat transfer, and other numerous areas of science and engineering, which are dealing with propagation and interaction of N internal waves.

Molecular Orbitals by Pierpaolo (Pier) Morgante,Jochen Autschbach Pdf

Electron orbitals of molecules, or molecular orbitals (MOs), are ubiquitous in chemistry. It is difficult to imagine modern research in chemistry, materials chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields—in the broader sense—without the insight that is offered by the description of electronic structure in terms of atomic and molecular orbitals. Despite its importance, orbital theory, and MO theory, in particular, is not always taught rigorously in the chemistry curriculum. This primer is meant to introduce the aspiring chemist to the ideas underlying MO theory, to make it clear what MOs are and what they are not, and to showcase selected qualitative and quantitative applications of MO theory with a strong emphasis on the visualization of orbitals.

Quantum Theory for Chemical Applications by Jochen Autschbach Pdf

Quantum theory and computational chemistry have become integral to the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials chemistry. Concepts of chemical bonding, band structure, material properties, and interactions between light and matter at the molecular scale tend to be expressed in the framework of orbital theory, even when numerical calculations go beyond simple orbital models. Yet, the connections between these theoretical models and experimental observations are often unclear. It is important--now more than ever--that students master quantum theory if they are going to apply chemical concepts. In this book, Jochen Autschbach connects the abstract with the concrete in an elegant way, creating a guiding text for scholars and students alike. Quantum Theory for Chemical Applications covers the quantum theory of atoms, molecules, and extended periodic systems. Autschbach goes beyond standard textbooks by connecting the molecular and band structure perspectives, covering response theory, and more. The book is broken into four parts: Basic Theoretical Concepts; Atomic, Molecular, and Crystal Orbitals; Further Basic Concepts of Quantum Theory; and Advanced Topics, such as relativistic quantum chemistry and molecule-light interactions. The foresight Autschbach provides is immense, and he sets up a solid theoretical background for nearly every quantum chemistry method used in contemporary research. Because quantum theory tells us what the electrons do in atoms, molecules, and extended systems, the pages in this book are full of answers to questions both long-held and never-before considered.
