Realising the 'Triple Dividend of Resilience': A New Business Case for Disast…
Why aren’t we investing more in disaster resilience, despite the rising costs of disaster events? This book argues that decision-makers in governments, businesses, households, and development agencies tend to focus on avoiding losses from disasters, and perceive the return on investment as uncertain – only realised if a somewhat unlikely disaster event actually happens. This book develo…

Real-Time Visual Effects for Game Programming
This book introduces the latest visual effects (VFX) techniques that can be applied to game programming. The usefulness of the physicality-based VFX techniques, such as water, fire, smoke, and wind, has been proven through active involvement and utilization in movies and images. However, they have yet to be extensively applied in the game industry, due to the high technical barriers. Readers of…

Real-Time Progressive Hyperspectral Image Processing: Endmember Finding and A…
The book covers the most crucial parts of real-time hyperspectral image processing: causality and real-time capability. Recently, two new concepts of real time hyperspectral image processing, Progressive HyperSpectral Imaging (PHSI) and Recursive HyperSpectral Imaging (RHSI). Both of these can be used to design algorithms and also form an integral part of real time hyperpsectral image processin…

Sudoku Programming with C
In this book, you will find an explanation of all solving strategies, and the code to implement them. Writing the Solver application was more difficult than writing the Generator, because it required designing and implementing each strategy separately. However, the author wanted to include a solving program capable of listing the strategies necessary to solve any particular puzzle. He also want…

A model of Austrian economics
After the most recent financial crisis it has become clear that there exists a crisis also in economics as a science. The prevailing paradigms have failed to anticipate and to understand the financial crisis. New approaches are therefore needed. Of particular interest should be approaches that combine insights from those parts of economics that are largely neglected by the mainstream. Hendrik H…
