Metals in Society and in the Environment : A Critical Review of Current Knowledge on Fluxes, Speciation, Bioavailability and Risk for Adverse Effects of Copper, Chromium, Nickel and Zinc
In 2002, the Swedish Metal Information Task Force (MITF) engaged the Environmental Research Group (MFG) to update previous monographs on copper, zinc and major alloying metals (such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum) in society and in the environment. This book presents new results on metal fluxes from society to the environment, on metal speciation in water, soil and sediment, and its interpretation in terms of mobility, biological uptake and toxicity. The scientific fundamentals of new approaches, like the Acid Volatile Sulphide (AVS) concept to predict metal bioavailability in sediments, and the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) to calculate the toxicity of metals to aquatic organisms, are critically evaluated, with a focus on copper, nickel, zinc, and, in part, chromium.

Maturing Usability : Quality in Software, Interaction and Value
Divided into three parts, ‘Quality in Software’ looks at how using development tools can enhance usability of a system, and how methods and models can be integrated into the development process to produce effective user interfaces. ‘Quality in Interaction’ addresses theoretical frameworks on the nature of interactions; techniques and metrics for evaluation interaction quality; and the transfer of concepts and methods from research to practice. Finally, ‘Quality in Value’ assesses the impact that a system has in the real world, focusing on increasing the value of usability practice for software development and on increasing value for the users.
Introduction to Assembly Language Programming : For Pentium and RISC Processors
Assembly language continues to hold a core position in the programming world because of its similar structure to machine language and its very close links to underlying computer-processor architecture and design. These features allow for high processing speed, low memory demands, and the capacity to act directly on the system’s hardware. This completely revised second edition of the highly successful Introduction to Assembly Language Programming introduces readers to assembly language programming and its role in computer programming and design. It focuses on providing a firm grasp of the main features of assembly programming, and how it can be used to improve a computer's performance. The revised edition covers a broad scope of subjects and adds valuable material on protected-mode Pentium programming, MIPS assembly language programming, and use of the NASM and SPIM assemblers for a Linux orientation. All of the language's main features are covered in depth. The book requires only some basic experience with a structured, high-level language.

Introduction aux méthodes numériques
Au cours de l’histoire, les méthodes de calcul ont été l’expression de pratiques sans cesse renouvelées. Le développement de l’informatique a largement contribué à une rapide progression de l’ensemble des techniques numériques. En moins de cinquante ans, le paysage algorithmique a été complètement transformé. Aujourd’hui, la plupart des logiciels que nous employons font appel à des méthodes de plus en plus efficaces. Dans les simulations, comme dans les modélisations, l’analyse numérique occupe une place centrale. Composants essentiels de la vie scientifique, les méthodes et algorithmes qui sont présentés ici, illustrés par de nombreux exemples, sont mis à la portée de tous. De l’approximation polynomiale à la résolution d’équations aux dérivées partielles par des méthodes de différences, de volumes et d’éléments finis, ce livre offre un large panorama des méthodes numériques actuelles.
Introduction à SCILAB

Introduction à la résolution des systèmes polynomiaux = Introduction to solving polynomial systems
This book is an introduction to algebraic methods for solving this type of equations. We show how the geometry of algebraic varieties defined by these equations, their dimension, their degree, or their components can be deduced from the properties of the corresponding quotient algebras. For this, we approach methods of effective algebraic geometry, such as Grobner bases, resolution by eigenvalues and vectors, resultants, bezoutians, duality, Gorenstein algebras and algebraic residues.
Intersections de deux quadriques et pinceaux de courbes de genre 1 = Intersections of two quadrics and pencils of curves of genus 1
This research monograph focuses on the arithmetic, over number fields, of surfaces fibred into curves of genus 1 over the projective line, and of intersections of two quadrics in projective space. The first half contains a complete account of the technique initiated by Swinnerton-Dyer in 1993 for studying rational points on pencils of curves of genus 1, while incorporating and generalising most of its subsequent refinements. The second half, which builds upon the first, is devoted to quartic del Pezzo surfaces and higher-dimensional intersections of two quadrics.
Interpretations of luxury : Exploring the consumer perspective
Exploring the elements that constitute the perceived luxuriousness of a brand, this book addresses the changing definitions of the term ‘luxury’ in today’s world. Taking the approach that the concept of luxury evolves from the consumer, the author introduces a conceptual model which explains how the consumer interprets the luxuriousness of a brand. This innovative study analyses the key elements that influence luxury branding, such as extended product, perceived uniqueness, authenticity and context specificity. By critically reflecting on the existing definitions of luxury and its challenges
