Sommario/riassunto

Learn from state-of-the-art examples in robotics, motors, detection filters, chemical processes, aircraft, and spacecraft. With this book you will review contemporary MATLAB coding including the latest MATLAB language features and use MATLAB as a software development environment including code organization, GUI development, and algorithm design and testing. Features now covered include the new graph and digraph classes for charts and networks; interactive documents that combine text, code, and output; a new development environment for building apps; locally defined functions in scripts; automatic expansion of dimensions; tall arrays for big data; the new string type; new functions to encode/decode JSON; handling non-English languages; the new class architecture; the Mocking framework; an engine API for Java; the cloud-based MATLAB desktop; the memoize function; and heatmap charts. MATLAB Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach, Second Edition provides practical, hands-on code snippets and guidance for using MATLAB to build a body of code you can turn to time and again for solving technical problems in your work. Develop



algorithms, test them, visualize the results, and pass the code along to others to create a functional code base for your firm. You will: Get up to date with the latest MATLAB up to and including MATLAB 2020b Code in MATLAB Write applications in MATLAB Build your own toolbox of MATLAB code to increase your efficiency and effectiveness.

Sommario/riassunto

With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social
