Objects First With Java A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ (4th Edition)


Free Download Michael Kölling, "Objects First With Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ (4th Edition)"
English | 2008 | pages: 553 | ISBN: 0136060862 | PDF | 5,6 mb
The BlueJ development environment was specifically designed to support introductory teaching of object-orientations and helps users grasp the complicated concepts of class structure. Unlike most books on the subject, this text uses BlueJ to get readers started on object-oriented programming from day one. Uses a spiral approach that introduces a topic in a simple context early on, then revisits it later to increase understanding; Offers an abundance of projects for hands-on practice; Chapters are ordered around software development concepts rather than language features; Language-feature introduction is naturally driven by problems to be solved; Chapters are based around distinct projects for more variety; Does not cover traditional topics like control structures. A useful reference for programmers.

Mathematical Methods for Objects Reconstruction


Free Download Mathematical Methods for Objects Reconstruction: From 3D Vision to 3D Printing
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819907756 | 185 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 39 MB
The goal of the workshop was to discuss new methods and conceptual structures for managing these challenging problems. The chapters reflect this goal and the authors are academic researchers and some experts from industry working in the areas of 3D modeling, computer vision, 3D printing and/or developing new mathematical methods for these problems. The contributions present methodologies and challenges raised by the emergence of large-scale 3D reconstruction applications and low-cost 3D printers. The volume collects complementary knowledges from different areas of mathematics, computer science and engineering on research topics related to 3D printing, which are, so far, widely unexplored.

Stabilisation and Motion Control of Unstable Objects


Free Download Alexander M. Formalskii, "Stabilisation and Motion Control of Unstable Objects "
English | ISBN: 3110375826 | 2015 | 239 pages | EPUB, PDF | 11 MB + 7 MB
Systems with mechanical degrees of freedom containing unstable objects are analysed in this monograph and algorithms for their control are developed, discussed, and numerically tested. This is achieved by identifying unstable modes of motion and using all available resources to suppress them. By using this approach the region of states from which a stable regime can be reached is maximised. The systems discussed in this book are models for pendula and vehicles and find applications in mechatronics, robotics as well as in mechanical and automotive engineering.

Mediterranean Flows People, Ideas and Objects in Motion


Free Download Emilia Mataix, "Mediterranean Flows: People, Ideas and Objects in Motion"
English | ISBN: 3506795139 | 2023 | 234 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This issue takes an inclusive approach to the multidimensional topic of Mediterranean movement, as the themes to be discussed include migration, trade, travelling objects, knowledge exchange, and dissemination of books. The case studies demonstrate the impact of movement on the processes of identity building, whether social, cultural, or religious. Apart from textual sources, the articles included in this issue explore the movement of objects that are characterised by temporal continuity, embodying a prior existence with lingering effects. As objects transform through time and space, so do the values and functions attributed to them. The process of mapping out itineraries of value in the realm of the material allows us to grasp the nature of a given social formation through the shape and meaning taken on by them. It also provides insights into the nature of dynamic synergy between the world of material objects and the realm of beliefs, knowledge, and identities.

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031314840 | 377 Pages | PDF (True) | 44 MB
The Barnard Objects have fascinated professional and amateur astronomers for over one hundred years. Many of those objects first imaged by E.E. Barnard on black-and-white photographic plates are now being captured daily in thousands of color astrophotographs. This book tells of Barnard’s story; describing his life and work as well as how the fields of astronomy and astrophotography have transformed ever since.

Surrealist Sorcery Objects, Theories and Practices of Magic in the Surrealist Movement


Free Download Will Atkin, "Surrealist Sorcery: Objects, Theories and Practices of Magic in the Surrealist Movement "
English | ISBN: 135022748X | 2023 | 240 pages | PDF | 47 MB
Often regarded as an artistic movement of interwar Paris, Surrealism comprised an international community of artists, writers, and intellectuals who have aspired to change the conditions of life itself over the course of the past century. Consisting of a wide range of dedicated case studies from the 1920s to the 1970s, this book highlights the international dimensions of the Surrealist Movement, and the radical chains of thought that linked its followers across the globe: from France to Romania, and from Canada to the former Czechoslovakia.
