Book Description
AD 1647, RAJASTHAN One of the most beautiful summer retreats is built by Maharaja Raghuveer for his Queen in the pristine Aravali hills in Rajasthan. But the Royal Sage and Astrologer discovers an evil presence lurking in the House. It is waiting for somethingƒ.some mysterious power to descend. After finding the evil intentions of this 'being', the Sage advices the king not to occupy the House.The result: the House is promptly abandoned by the King.PRESENT DAY After nearly four hundred years, the evil is still waiting for the mysterious power to descend. Only this time, it has a new, deadlier face: a cult called Ghoras who worship the demon Ghorathighora. Now the power descends into the hands of Mukund Matondkar. Will he understand the extraordinary powers lurking behind the power? Is it a quirk of fate or is it preordained that he meets two extraordinary humans: Arunav Khandelwal, a wealthy hotelier and psychic and Vani Vaidyanathan, a physicist ? The trio must understand the powers of the Mystical Object called the Force and protect it. Can they fight against the might of the Ghoras and the Underworld elements? And what is that mystical portal that passes right through Raja Raghuveer's House that lies abandoned now for more than three fifty years? Will the Ghoras succeed in making that one final human sacrifice to appease their demon god- a sacrifice which will make them almost immortal? But something totally unexpected unfolds in that ancient Courtyard of the House of Raja Raghuveerƒ..

Book Description
The heart of any system that simulates the physical interaction between objects is collision detection-the ability to detect when two objects have come into contact. This system is also one of the most difficult aspects of a physical simulation to implement correctly, and invariably it is the main consumer of CPU cycles. Practitioners, new to the f

Book Description
Collision-Based Computing presents a unique overview of computation with mobile self-localized patterns in non-linear media, including computation in optical media, mathematical models of massively parallel computers, and molecular systems. It covers such diverse subjects as conservative computation in billiard ball models and its cellular-automaton analogues, implementation of computing devices in lattice gases, Conway's Game of Life and discrete excitable media, theory of particle machines, computation with solitons, logic of ballistic computing, phenomenology of computation, and self-replicating universal computers. Collision-Based Computing will be of interest to researchers working on relevant topics in Computing Science, Mathematical Physics and Engineering. It will also be useful background reading for postgraduate courses such as Optical Computing, Nature-Inspired Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Smart Engineering Systems, Complex and Adaptive Systems, Parallel Computation, Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics.

Book Description
This high-level monograph offers an excellent introduction to the theory required for interpretation of an increasingly sophisticated range of molecular scattering experiments. There are five helpful appendixes dealing with continuum wavefunctions, Green's functions, semi-classical connection formulae, curve-crossing in the momentum representation, and elements of classical mechanics. The contents of this volume have been chosen to emphasize the quantum mechanical and semi-classical nature of collision events, with little attention given to purely classical behavior. The treatment is essentially analytical. Some knowledge of the quantum mechanics of bound states is assumed.

Book Description
Offers a discussion of rigid body collision models that focuses on the necessity, utility, and validity of assumptions in collision modeling as well as on the general properties of collision models based on these assumptions. Easy-to-use collision laws with a small number of collision parameters and desirable behavior for the simplest configurations are also presented.

Book Description
Written by an expert in the game industry, Christer Ericson's new book is a comprehensive guide to the components of efficient real-time collision detection systems. The book provides the tools and know-how needed to implement industrial-strength collision detection for the highly detailed dynamic environments of applications such as 3D games, virtual reality applications, and physical simulators. Of the many topics covered, a key focus is on spatial and object partitioning through a wide variety of grids, trees, and sorting methods. The author also presents a large collection of intersection and distance tests for both simple and complex geometric shapes. Sections on vector and matrix algebra provide the background for advanced topics such as Voronoi regions, Minkowski sums, and linear and quadratic programming. Of utmost importance to programmers but rarely discussed in this much detail in other books are the chapters covering numerical and geometric robustness, both essential topics for collision detection systems. Also unique are the chapters discussing how graphics hardware can assist in collision detection computations and on advanced optimization for modern computer architectures. All in all, this comprehensive book will become the industry standard for years to come.
