Body Language: Advanced 3D Character Rigging Review

Body Language: Advanced 3D Character Rigging
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The book is an excellent resource. I've done my fair share of rigging, and Allen and Murdock have put together a body of information that not only teaches me new tricks, but polishes and streamlines what I already do. Body Language will be the first place I look when I need to dig around for rigging assistance.
Body Language has me excited to rig again, which is perhaps the greatest aspect of the book. There are a lot of little "aha" moments here, and I'm itching to put them to use. It's an essential component of my reference library.
I have only one complaint with this book: It doesn't cover 3DS Max. It's understandable, what with Maya being dominant in the high end of the field, but some of the principles and techniques here are so good, it just seems a shame to not have Max involved. Ironically, then, it's the excellence of the Maya coverage that leaves me wanting the same for Max. Perhaps there's a sequel in the works.
That minor quibble aside, I still rate this at the full five stars. The book stands on its own merits, and that I wish for more merely testifies to the value of the data.

Linear and Nonlinear Programming (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science) Review

I have profitably used the book to apply constrained minimization procedures in the field of computational contact mechanics. I think it is not a secret that quite often books on mathematics are written from matematicians for matematicians. Hence it is quite hard for engineers both to read and to extract valuable information from them. With this respect this book is a shining star. It presents the topics in a very precise but clear and understandable way. Moreover the notation also is the best compromise between coinciseness and clarity. Matematicians, please, look at this book and follow such style; we engineer desperately need to communicate with you.

This book is one of the best illustrated works devoted to making wax models for jewelry that I have purchased. I have been making jewelry models for over 30 years and still discovered textural techniques and materials in Practical Wax Modeling that I was not familiar with previously. Due to the fact that the authors are Japanese, the book reflects their design and technique approach. This work covers a wide range of tools, and details both the carving and build up of wax models. I would recommend this book as a valuable addition to any jewelry maker's library.

What took so long? James Gleick's classic popularization "Chaos ..." came out in 1987. Many other books have followed at all levels, from easy-to-read self-study up to unintelligible topological dynamics. Thanks to Prof. Fishwick, we finally have a first-rate Handbook on a subject invented by Isaac Newton, though anticipated by Archimedes and Claudius Ptolemy. (Classical mechanics is NON-linear, relativity and quantum mechanics slightly more so.) This Handbook is really an anthology that presents a lot of the advances of dynamic systems analysis into a host of subject areas, as well as some new methodologies. For something more like a traditional handbook, a collection of algorithms and recipes, there is the Numerical Recipes series, complete with source code. Enjoy! Compute! Publish! Win glorious international recognition. You now have the giants upon whose shoulders you can stand to be able see farther. Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing

The topic of dynamic models tends to be splintered across various disciplines, making it difficult to uniformly study the subject. Moreover, the models have a variety of representations, from traditional mathematical notations to diagrammatic and immersive depictions. Collecting all of these expressions of dynamic models, the Handbook of Dynamic System Modeling explores a panoply of different types of modeling methods available for dynamical systems.Featuring an interdisciplinary, balanced approach, the handbook focuses on both generalized dynamic knowledge and specific models. It first introduces the general concepts, representations, and philosophy of dynamic models, followed by a section on modeling methodologies that explains how to portray designed models on a computer. After addressing scale, heterogeneity, and composition issues, the book covers specific model types that are often characterized by specific visual- or text-based grammars. It concludes with case studies that employ two well-known commercial packages to construct, simulate, and analyze dynamic models.A complete guide to the fundamentals, types, and applications of dynamic models, this handbook shows how systems function and are represented over time and space and illustrates how to select a particular model based on a specific area of interest.

The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit Review

The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
but were afraid to ask. This is the definitive book on the DW lifecycle. After having worked on two not-so-perfect data warehousing projects, I found myself on more than one occasion seeing in print many of the ideas that I have either arrived at by trial and error or had a hunch were the right way to go. I would have given this book five stars, except for one thing: you really need to have read Kimball's first book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit, to get the proper foundation for reading the DW Lifecylcle Toolkit. I bought the DW Lifecycle Toolkit first thinking that I could jump right ahead. Not so. Much to my chagrin, I ended up buying the DW Toolkit and reading it first. These books really should be offered with the option to be purchased together. That way, the reader will know up front that both books are a must read.

A thorough update to the industry standard for designing, developing, and deploying data warehouse and business intelligence systems
The world of data warehousing has changed remarkably since the first edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit was published in 1998. In that time, the data warehouse industry has reached full maturity and acceptance, hardware and software have made staggering advances, and the techniques promoted in the premiere edition of this book have been adopted by nearly all data warehouse vendors and practitioners. In addition, the term "business intelligence" emerged to reflect the mission of the data warehouse: wrangling the data out of source systems, cleaning it, and delivering it to add value to the business.
Ralph Kimball and his colleagues have refined the original set of Lifecycle methods and techniques based on their consulting and training experience. The authors understand first-hand that a data warehousing/business intelligence (DW/BI) system needs to change as fast as its surrounding organization evolves. To that end, they walk you through the detailed steps of designing, developing, and deploying a DW/BI system. You'll learn to create adaptable systems that deliver data and analyses to business users so they can make better business decisions.
With substantial new and updated content, this second edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit again sets the standard in data warehousing for the next decade. It shows you how to:
Identify and prioritize data warehouse opportunities
Create an architecture plan and select products
Design a powerful, flexible, dimensional model
Build a robust ETL system
Develop BI applications to deliver data to business users
Deploy and sustain a healthy DW/BI environment

The authors are members of the Kimball Group. Each has focused on data warehousing and business intelligence consulting and education for more than 15 years; most have written other books in the Toolkit series. Learn more about the Kimball Group and Kimball University at www.kimballgroup.com.
This book is also available as part of the Kimball's Data Warehouse Toolkit Classics Box Set (ISBN: 9780470479575) with the following 3 books:

The Data Warehouse Toolkit, 2nd Edition (9780471200246)

The Frailty Model (Statistics for Biology and Health) Review

The Frailty Model (Statistics for Biology and Health)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The authors are academics who have done serious research in survival analysis and are very familiar with frailty models. The topic comes up when time to event data for one event is correlated with the time to event data for another or other events. This topic is sometimes referred to a subject in multivariate survival analysis or the analysis of clustered survival data.
As a professional biostatistician with a keen interest in survival models I have attended professional meetings in recent years and heard the term Frailty Model mentioned but I didn't know what it was. There of course is the natural connotation of weakness as in a feeble or frail person. But the actual formal dtatisticial meaning was a mystery. Other books that I am very familar with deal in part with frailty models but this is to my knowledge the first serious text dedicated to this topic. It also covers related methods to accomplish the same goal such as copulas (another term common in recent books and literature but one I was not familiar with either). For example Philip Hougaard wrote the first advanced text on multivariate survival models and covers parametric forms of frailty models. Klein and Moeschberger wrote a generaal survival analysis book that includes a chapter on semi-parameric fraility models. It showa how the EM algorithm is used to estimate parameters of the models. Ibrahim and colleague wrote a book on Bayesian methods in survival analysis and cover the Bayesian approach to both semi-parametric and parametric fraility models. Therneau and Grambsch wrote a recent book on the Cox proportional hazard model and its extensions. It included information on semi-parametric frailty models using the penalized partial likelihood approach to estimation.
This book is a well-written introduction to fraility models that includes all these methods provides real world examples and good explanations on how to interpret the results. The examples are illustrated using the freeware language R. This book could serve as either an undergraduate or graduate text in statistical methods and is a great reference for biostatisticians.

Readers will find in the pages of this book a treatment of the statistical analysis of clustered survival data. Such data are encountered in many scientific disciplines including human and veterinary medicine, biology, epidemiology, public health and demography. A typical example is the time to death in cancer patients, with patients clustered in hospitals. Frailty models provide a powerful tool to analyze clustered survival data. In this book different methods based on the frailty model are described and it is demonstrated how they can be used to analyze clustered survival data. All programs used for these examples are available on the Springer website.

I'm entirely new to 3D modeling and animation. I found this book to be exceptionally well written. The author provides a clear and concise explanation of the principles of 3D computer graphics, with easy-to-understand examples throughout. As stated in other reviews, it is not software specific. If you are looking for an introductory but thorough 3D primer, I recommend this book without reservation. It should provide a solid foundation for those who have little or no prior computer graphics experience.

Object-Process Methodology Review

Object-Process Methodology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used many methodologies over my career. Most of them are based around the object-oriented and structured design paradigms. I found out about OPM quite by accident about a year ago. I've been using it ever since. I have used it to model both hardware and software systems, as well as for business process modeling. It is an excellent methodology and I recommend it for anyone developing any kind of system.
One of the nice things about OPM is that it is easy: I was able to get a team "up-and-running" with the methodology in less than an hour of teaching them some basic concepts (try doing that with UML). Another feature is that you can use this for any type of project; you are not locked into a structured or object-oriented mindset like structured analysis or UML. OPM can handle both types of concepts with ease.
Finally, this methodology is fast. It is just easier and more intuitive to model in an OPM fashion. I've also found that others can comprehend the OPM models better than other methodologies too.
I used to be a UML advocate until I found OPM. I have found concepts that are difficult to model in UML are quite easy to model in OPM. It is just more flexible.
The book is really good by the way. It is very complete and gives plenty of good exammples. I congratulate Dov Dori and his team for providing something that all engineering disciplines can use to design their systems.

Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing the World (UML Version) Review

Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing the World (UML Version)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to say before starting this review, that I played a role in publishing this book and David Hay is a personal friend of mine. However, I am also a data modeling practitioner and trainer and author, and hopefully these qualifications outweigh my subjectivity.
This book is a very important book for the data management industry. With the challenges of having to complete designs in unrealistic timeframes plus the trend in having people that have not been formally trained in data modeling completing some or all of the data modeling activities, there is a need more than ever to have sound data models as a foundation for our applications. This book provides a collection of sound data models for us to use and customize for our projects.
Here are my Top 5 favorite things about this book:
Levels of abstraction. Models can be used and customized at different levels of detail, depending on the analyst's or modeler's needs. There are four levels of modeling abstraction in this book. Level 0 contains the generic information assets and accounting areas, Level 1 contains people and organizations, geography, physical assets, activities and time. Level 2 models specific functional areas within an organization such as HR and marketing, and Level 3 consists of models specific to various industries. The models are extremely comprehensive and well connected. There are over 100 data models provided spanning close to 700 pages of text.
Applicability. I personally benefited from how the book takes real examples such as Highway Maintenance and Banking and connects them to the generic patterns, making them real and easy to apply to our own situations.
UML connection. The book uses the Unified Modeling Language to depict the models and contains a detailed explanation of how to read the UML class diagram and how it relates to relational modeling. Great comparison!
History of data modeling. The book contains a brief explanation of the history of modeling which I found very interesting.
Style of writing. I really like Dave's style of writing. He is selective of every word chosen and maintains consistency and clarity and humor throughout the text.

This book teaches you how to capture and communicate both the abstract andconcrete building blocks of your organization's data, in order to provide acoherent and comprehensive foundation for systems development.
'Thisbook presents the most comprehensive treatment of high-level abstractionsI've seen. Any event, business, and/or systems analyst should have thisbook available, both as a learning text and as an indispensible referencebook. The knowledge packed away in this book takes decades to acquire andgestate. We are all fortunate to have it in a single volume."JamesOdellCo-chair, OMG - Analysis and Design "UML and SoaML" TaskForce
"David addresses a key, difficult, challenge for data modelling(and ontology) in this book - extracting the common pattern that underliesand unifies the variety of real data models that people use. And, what isalmost as important to many readers, he does this in a clear andunderstandable way."Chris PartridgeChief Ontologist, The BOROCentre

"A great data model, one that lays the essence of a businessbare, is a thing of beauty. It simplifies process, eases communication, andbrings order to chaos. A great data model serves for a lifetime. Powerfulstuff, this."Tom Redman, PresidentNavesink Consulting Group,LLC

"Finally, choosing a level of abstraction for a data model isaddressed methodically. David should be applauded for grasping this thornyissue and producing a wonderfully readable book. Every data modeler shouldhave one".Cliff Longman, PresidentAdaptable Data

In 1995,David Hay published Data Model Patterns: Conventions of Thought - thegroundbreaking book on how to use standard data models to describe thestandard business situations. Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing theWorld builds on the concepts presented there, adds 15 years of practicalexperience, and presents a more comprehensive view.

This modeladdresses your enterprise via four levels of abstraction:

Level0: An abstract template that underlies the Level 1 model, plus two metamodels: Information Resources and Accounting. Each of these itselfrepresents the rest of the enterprise, so to model it is to 'model a model",so to speak.

Level 1: An enterprise model that is genericenough to apply to any company or government agency, but concrete enough tobe readily understood by all. It describes people and organizations,geographic locations, (physical) assets, activities, and time.

Level 2: A more detailed model describing specific functionalareas: facilities and other addresses, human resources, communications andmarketing, contracts, manufacturing, and the laboratory.

Level3: Examples of the details that can be added to a model to address whatis truly unique in a particular industry. Here you see how to address theunique bits in areas as diverse as criminal justice, microbiology, banking,oil field production, and highway maintenance.

Artificial Life Models in Software Review

Artificial Life Models in Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Remember Conway's Game of Life? Surely you must, if you are interested in this book. The Game has been around since the 70s. The editors have cultivated recent research papers that demonstrate how far the field has advanced. Reinforced by some pretty colour plates that depict artificial entities [dare we call them living?] in some surroundings. These include the modelling of bee flights through a garden, and simulated trajectories of a group of bacteria.
Nor is the Game of Life ignored. One plate shows it in three dimensions. The Game is played in 2 dimensions, with time as the third dimension. An obvious choice that gives interesting trajectories of the cells.
The narrative adds to the illustrations. By describing a variety of computer simulations [worlds?]. Where the experimenter can tweak many parameters, and watch her world unfold. Some worlds are impressively rich in complexity of observed behaviours.
The only drawback in the book is its skimpy index. A mere two pages. It should have been more detailed.

The book organization is unique in that the codes are all complete from beginning to end with line numbers. The author explains the relevant codes line by line. However, as the book progresses, he explains less details of the codes. Another unique feature (the best feature) is that every code comes with synthesized circuits along with synthesis commands of how to optimize for different goals (i.e. best timing or best area). The practical examples are real life examples (i.e. microprocessor, FIFO, FIR filter, DRAM etc.) The reader will also get design fundamentals of the above examples. Overall, an excellent book!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Digital Design and Modeling with VHDL and Synthesis (Systems)

Digital Systems Design with VHDL and Synthesis presents an integrated approach to digital design principles, processes, and implementations to help the reader design much more complex systems within a shorter design cycle. This is accomplished by introducing digital design concepts, VHDL coding, VHDL simulation, synthesis commands, and strategies together.
The author focuses on the ultimate product of the design cycle: the implementation of a digital design. VHDL coding, synthesis methodologies and verification techniques are presented as tools to support the final design implementation. Readers will understand how to apply and adapt techniques for VHDL coding, verification, and synthesis to various situations.
Digital Systems Design with VHDL and Synthesis is a result of K.C. Chang's practical experience in both design and as an instructor. Many of the design techniques and considerations illustrated throughout the chapters are examples of viable designs. His teaching experience leads to a step-by-step presentation that addresses common mistakes and hard-to-understand concepts in a way that eases learning.
Unique features of the book include the following: VHDL code explained line by line to capture the logic behind the design concepts VHDL is verified using VHDL test benches and simulation tools Simulation waveforms are shown and explained to verify design correctness VHDL code is synthesized and commands and strategies are discussed. Synthesized schematics and results are analyzed for area and timing Variations on the design techniques and common mistakes are addressed; Demonstrated standard cell, gate array, and FPGA three design processes Each with a complete design case study Test bench, post-layout verification, and test vector generation processes.
