An invitation to simulation is made into a realizable challenge: the reader is taken from scratch to games with words, to mathematical models, to statistical analysis, to simulation of evolution. No special requirements are needed: we work with the inbuilt Visual Basic language that is attached to Microsoft(R) Excel and Word. The Tex source must be downloaded to copy the code that must be run.

The Amazon Kindle eBook reader supports a wide range of capabilities beyond reading books. This functionality includes an inbuilt cellular data connection known as Whispernet. The Kindle provides web browsing, an application framework, eBook delivery and other services over this connection. The historic data left by user interaction with this device may be of forensic interest. Analysis of the ...

In this paper we have put forth a novel methodology to relay data obtained by inbuilt sensors of smart phones in real time to remote database followed by fetching of this data . Smart phones are becoming very common and they are laced with a number of sensors that can not only be used in native applications but can also be sent to external nodes to be used by third parties for application and s...

Abstract: A decentralized boundary control problem for irrigation canal networks is considered in this paper. The control scheme is based on a strict Lyapunov method introduced in Coron et al. (2007). A sufficient condition is presented to guarantee the closed-loop system to be locally convergent to a desired set point, which extends the results in Coron et al. (2007) for the single-pool case t...
