Advanced Biosignal Processing

Product Description

Through 17 chapters, this book presents the principle of many advanced biosignal processing techniques. After an important chapter introducing the main biosignal properties as well as the most recent acquisition techniques, it highlights five specific parts which build the body of this book. Each part concerns one of the most intensively used biosignals in the clinical routine, namely the Electrocardiogram (ECG), the Elektroenzephalogram (EEG), the Electromyogram (EMG) and the Evoked Potential (EP).

In addition, each part gathers a certain number of chapters related to analysis, detection, classification, source separation and feature extraction. These aspects are explored by means of various advanced signal processing approaches, namely wavelets, Empirical Modal Decomposition, Neural networks, Markov models, Metaheuristics as well as hybrid approaches including wavelet networks, and neuro-fuzzy networks.

The last part, concerns the Multimodal Biosignal processing, in which we present two different chapters related to the biomedical compression and the data fusion.

Instead organising the chapters by approaches, the present book has been voluntarily structured according to signal categories (ECG, EEG, EMG, EP). This helps the reader, interested in a specific field, to assimilate easily the techniques dedicated to a given class of biosignals. Furthermore, most of signals used for illustration purpose in this book can be downloaded from the Medical Database for the Evaluation of Image and Signal Processing Algorithm. These materials assist considerably the user in evaluating the performances of their developed algorithms.

This book is suited for final year graduate students, engineers and researchers in biomedical engineering and practicing engineers in biomedical science and medical physics.

New Trends on Human-Computer Interaction: Research, Development, New Tools and Methods

Product Description

This book comprises a collection of chapters concerning novel research on Human-Computer Interaction. Chapters correspond to high-quality selected papers from Interaccion 2007, the 8th annual conference on Human-Computer Interaction held in Zaragoza, Spain, as part of the II CEDI; the second edition of the Spanish Conference on Informatics, the biggest and most important in Spain.

This book is particularly aimed at researchers, advanced HCI students and practitioners. It includes promising works that range from cutting edge paradigms such as Semantic Web Interfaces, Natural Language Processing and Mobile Interaction to new trends and interface-engineering techniques such as User-Centred Design, Usability, Accessibility, Development Methodologies and Emotional User Interfaces. It also provides a specialized learning reference for advanced lectures, involving topics such as Human Factors, Collaborative User Interfaces and Model-based User Interface Design.

Pro VB 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform

Product Description
With the release of .NET 2.0, the Visual Basic 2005 language has been updated with numerous new programming constructs (XML code documentation, operator overloading, generics, and partial types just to name a few!). Now more than ever, choosing a .NET language boils down to personal preference (rather than a language’s feature set).

Beyond learning all the details of the VB 2005 programming language, you will also dive into the details of building desktop applications (using Windows Forms) and websites (via ASP.NET 2.0), and how to interact with relational databases (à la ADO.NET). Furthermore, you will explore how to build distributed applications using the .NET remoting layer and XML web services. Rest assured, this text will expose you to all the major services of the .NET platform and put you in the perfect position for further exploration.

About the Author
Andrew Troelsen is a partner, trainer, and consultant at Intertech-Inc., and is a leading authority on both .NET and COM.Troelsen has a degree in mathematical linguistics and South Asian studies from the University of Minnesota and is a frequent speaker at numerous .NET-related conferences. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife, Amanda, and spends his free time investigating .NET and waiting for the Wild to win the Stanley Cup.

Topics in Cryptology - CT-RSA 2009: The Cryptographers’ Track at the RSA Conference 2009, San Francisco

Product Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers’ Track at the RSA Conference 2009, CT-RSA 2009, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in April 2009. The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on identity-based encryption, protocol analysis, two-party protocols, more than signatures, collisions for hash functions, cryptanalysis, alternative encryption, privacy and anonymity, efficiency improvements, multi-party protocols, security of encryption schemes as well as countermeasures and faults.
