Il libro di testo è concepito per studenti di un primo corso sullo sviluppo di sistemi a microprocessore, nelle Facoltà di Ingegneria e di Scienze. Adattabile a diverse esigenze didattiche, non richiede conoscenze preliminari sui microprocessori e fornisce una solida introduzione all'argomento. L'apprendimento della teoria è facilitato da numerosi esempi ed esercizi, tutti risolti per esteso, e consolidato con la loro verifica funzionale tramite simulazione. Un sito web di libero accesso ospita il software di simulazione gratuito Deeds (Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite), creato e mantenuto dagli autori, e contiene tutto il materiale riguardante gli esempi ed esercizi presentati nel libro. Nel testo vengono prima introdotti i concetti generali, tramite un approccio progettuale che porta alla definizione di un piccolo microprocessore dimostrativo. Viene quindi presentato un secondo microprocessore appositamente pensato per la didattica, di cui se ne approfondisce la programmazione e l'interfacciamento. Il percorso didattico si conclude con numerosi esempi di progetto, verificabili tramite prototipi da realizzare su schede FPGA. Ideale per l'auto-apprendimento, grazie alla simbiosi ottimale con il simulatore Deeds, il libro può essere usato ugualmente con profitto indipendentemente da esso. Il testo racchiude la pluri-decennale esperienza degli autori nell'insegnamento e nello sviluppo di materiale didattico nell'ambito del progetto di sistemi digitali, aggiungendosi al libro precedente "Introduzione al Progetto di Sistemi Digitali" pubblicato dagli autori con Springer nel 2018.

Then, after a self-contained presentation of degree theory for continuous self-maps of the circumference, we study the global theory of plane curves, introducing winding and rotation numbers, and proving the Jordan curve theorem for curves of class C2, and Hopf theorem on the rotation number of closed simple curves.

This book aims to equip readers with a better understanding of neuroendocrine tumors of the abdomen and explains how to manage them optimally by making use of novel therapeutic options that represent major advances on previous treatments.

This book describes the surgical bariatric procedures most frequently performed worldwide and examines their evolution in recent years both within Italy and internationally.

This is the first time a book about laparoscopy in emergency abdominal surgery has been published. The authors' contributions are founded on evidence-based medicine, which give the book scientific credibility, but this is coupled with their experience of daily practice, which adds an important complementary dimension to evidence-based medicine.

Measurement of solid tumor response to treatment relies mainly on imaging. WHO tumor response criteria and, more recently, RECIST (response evaluation criteria in solid tumors) have provided means to objectively measure tumor response in clinical trials with imaging.

This book describes the basic physical principles of atomic spectroscopy and the absorption and emission of radiation in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.

This practice-oriented book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the history, surgical anatomy, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and treatment of primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

This book analyzes all aspects of modern multimodal treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer in the pelvis in order to offer a panoramic overview of the different therapeutic options and enable the reader to balance their benefits and drawbacks.

This book offers a state-of-the-art description of the complexity of the healthy and pathological respiratory system, with particular reference to the mechanics of the airways, lung and chest wall.

In economics agents are assumed to choose on the basis of rational calculations aimed at the maximization of their pleasure or profit.

The primary goal of the book is to present the ideas and research findings of active researchers from various communities (physicists, economists, mathematicians, financial engineers) working in the field of "Econophysics", who have undertaken the task of modelling and analyzing order-driven markets.

The combined efforts of the Physicists and the Economists in recent years in analyzing and modelling various dynamic phenomena in monetary and social systems have led to encouraging developments, generally classified under the title of Econophysics. These developments share a common ambition with the already established field of Quantitative Economics. This volume intends to offer the reader a glimpse of these two parallel initiatives by collecting review papers written by well-known experts in the respective research frontiers in one cover. This massive book presents a unique combination of research papers contributed almost equally by Physicists and Economists. Additional contributions from Computer Scientists and Mathematicians are also included in this volume. The book consists of two parts: the first part concentrates on Econophysics problems and the second part stresses on various quantitative issues in Economics. Both parts specialize on frontier problems in Games and Social Choices.

Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. No less important are applications of mathematics to medicine and economics. The treatment is rigorous but captivating, detailed but full of evocations, an all-embracing look at the world of mathematics and culture

This book presents a history of classical mechanics, documenting methods of study from Greece in the fourth century BC to late nineteenth-century Europe. The text assesses effectiveness of forces based on the virtual motion of their points of application.

This book, which describes in detail the most common procedures employed in inguinal hernia surgery, is exceptional in reflecting fully the most recent advances, as well as the most established techniques, in knowledge and practice.

Techniques reviewed include: Conventional radiography* Endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound* Conventional, color-Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound* Computed tomography* Magnetic resonance imaging, and* Contrast-enhanced PET/CT imaging.

Questo libro è un testo introduttivo ai circuiti per i corsi delle Facoltà di Ingegneria, al primo livello. Esso parte dai concetti di intensità di corrente, tensione e potenza elettrica, introducendo le leggi di Kirchhoff ed il modello circuitale su base fisica. Vengono poi introdotti gli elementi circuitali fondamentali ed illustrate le proprietà generali dei circuiti. Successivamente sono trattati i circuiti lineari e tempo invarianti in maniera completa, sviluppandone le principali tecniche di analisi. Nonostante il taglio introduttivo e l¿attenzione ad uno stile piano ed accessibile, il testo si propone di affrontare il modello circuitale in modo rigoroso ed al tempo stesso moderno.

This book collects several contributions, written both by statisticians and medical doctors, which focus on the identification of new diagnostic, therapeutic and organizational strategies in order to improve the occurrence of clinical outcomes for Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients.

This is the first time that scientists including some of Gould's personal friends and co-authors of papers of momentous importance such as Niles Eldredge have come together to strike a balanced view of Gould's intellectual heritage.

This book reviews the latest econophysics researches on the fluctuations in stock, forex and other markets. The statistical modeling of markets, using various agent-based game theoretical approaches, and their scaling analysis have been discussed. The leading researchers in these fields have reported on their recent work and also reviewed the contemporary literature. Some historical perspectives as well as some comments and debates on recent issues in econophysics research have also been included.

Mathematics forms bridges between knowledge, tradition, and contemporary life. The continuous development and growth of its many branches, both classical and modern, permeates and fertilizes all aspects of applied science and technology, and so has a vital impact on our modern society.
