This book identifies the key drivers - a range of factors from family to policy support - that explain how and why overseas teachers come to Australia and why Australian teachers leave their country to teach overseas.

This book provides a wide variety of algorithms and models to integrate linguistic knowledge into Statistical Machine Translation (SMT).

This book explains digital signal processing topics in detail, with a particular focus on ease of understanding. They will learn fundamental concepts for signals and systems, as the focus is more on digital signal processing concepts rather than continuous time signal processing topics.

This book studies the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of, as well as magnetic excitations in, high-temperature BaFe2-xNixAs2 superconductors using neutron diffraction and neutron spectroscopic methods.
