Fundamentals of graphic design—essential tools for effective visual science communication

Effective User Interactions for Visual Analytics Tools

In the last few decades, there has formed a layer of traditions in the information processing from different fields of science and technology, which includes a variety of standards, techniques and approaches for visual analysis of diverse types and structures of data. Every year, the advanced technologies of human-computer interaction and computer graphics are becoming closer to information-bas...

Computer Graphic Tools for Automotive Paint Engineering

Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...

Fundamentals of OFDM Communication

The OFDM history has to date back to the mid-60s, when Chang published a paper on the synthesis of bandlimited signals for multi-channel transmission [1]. The author investigated a technique for transmitting and receiving (transceiving) parallel information through a linear bandlimited channel without inter-channel interference (ICI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI). Saltzberg conducted rele...

Fundamentals of Communication Systems

Fundamentals of Digital Communication

This textbook presents the fundamental concepts underlying the design of modern digital communication systems, which include the wireline, wireless, and storage systems that pervade our everyday lives. Using a highly accessible, lecture style exposition, this rigorous textbook first establishes a firm grounding in classical concepts of modulation and demodulation, and then builds on these to in...
