The 1.4 release of Java 2 Standard edition brings a load of new features - and the potential for frustration. Fret not, our new 4th edition has answers. The accelerated introduction lets you start writing code right away, and because the book s classic quick reference contains all the classes in the essential Java packages, you can find exactly what you need to make Java s new version work for you.
This book covers the fundamental concepts of data mining, to demonstrate the potential of gathering large sets of data, and analyzing these data sets to gain useful business understanding. The book is organized in three parts. Part I introduces concepts. Part II describes and demonstrates basic data mining algorithms. It also contains chapters on a number of different techniques often used in data mining. Part III focusses on business applications of data mining. Methods are presented with simple examples, applications are reviewed, and relativ advantages are evaluated.
If you want to use the Struts Framework to its fullest potential, this is the book for you. Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition covers everything the successful earlier edition did as well as plenty more: now fully up to date with Struts 1.1, this edition covers the latest material on tag libraries and the new JavaServerFaces (JSF) APIs and even includes all-new chapters on JSF, JSTL/EL, and security.
The potential of solving real-time demanding industrial applications, using vision-based
algorithms, drastically grew due to an increasing availability of computational power.
In this thesis a novel real-time, vision-based Blackjack analysis system is presented. The
embedding of the vision algorithms in a compound system of other information sources such
as an electronic chip tray, reduces the vision task to detect cards and chips. Robust results
are achieved by not just analyzing single frames but an image stream regarding game-ß ow
informations. The requirements for such a system are a highly robust and adaptive behav-
ior. This is motivated by the vital interest of casino entrepreneurs in a 100 statistical
analysis of their offered gambling in order to support the business plan, measuring table
and dealer performance and give accurate player rating. Extensive experiments show the
robustness and applicability of the proposed system.
Abstract: Quartz crystals are mechanical resonators with piezoelectric properties. The piezoelectricproperties (electric potential across the crystal is proportional to mechanical deformation) allow their use
