Gas-Turbine Regenerators begins with a thorough introduction to regenerators, familiarizing the reader with the terminology used in regenerator analysis and design. The book then describes the histori
The theory of probability began in the seventeenth century with attempts to calculate the odds of winning in certain games of chance. However, it was not until the middle of the twentieth century that
This is the first textbook to include the matrix continued-fraction method, which is very effective in dealing with simple Fokker-Planck equations having two variables. Other methods covered are the s
Self-organized criticality, the spontaneous development of systems to a critical state, is the first general theory of complex systems with a firm mathematical basis. This theory describes how many se
A synopsis of current knowledge of the subject for workers in the field as well as graduate students in paleontology, and, perhaps, amateur fossil collectors smitten with the beauty of ammonoids. The
Operative Gynecologic Endoscopy, Second Edition is completely revised and expanded with 17 new chapters that provide, step-by-step, the latest operative techniques for both laparoscopic AND hysterosco
Neurological Differential Diagnosis fills the gap between short texts containing little explanatory detail and advanced compendia for those with a good working knowledge of neurological diseases. It i
Extends the efficiency literature to the case of intertemporal production models, with the ultimate goal of developing a fully dynamic model that can be implemented using activity analysis models. Cov
The Sea Floor deals with the most important results achieved in Marine Geology over the last three decades. Relevant geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological methods are shortly
Ultrasonic Methods of Non-destructive Testing is essential reading for all those concerned with the non-destructive testing industry as well as undergraduate students of materials science, metallurgy,
This textbook presents a careful introduction to group theory and its applications in atomic, molecular and solid-state physics. The reader is provided with the necessary background on the mathematica
In a new series in plant conservation sponsored by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), this book is a practical guide to a subject of increasing concern to the conservation biologist. As with each o
This monograph is devoted to the problem of inferring geometric information about arbitrarily curved surfaces from visual cues; this is a central problem in computer vision with immediate relevance fo
The first part of a self-contained, elementary textbook, combining linear functional analysis, nonlinear functional analysis, numerical functional analysis, and their substantial applications with eac
Thoroughly updated since the publication of the first edition, with new chapters on die design for operators, solids conveying and melting and twin-screw extruders, this book bridges the gap between
What makes this book stand out from the competition is that it is more computational. Once done with both volumes, readers will have the tools to attack a wider variety of problems than those worked o
This book is the first monograph dealing with dusty and self- gravitational plasmas. It is focused on collective effects in the dusty plasma, with allowance for gravitational interaction between du
The game-theoretic analysis of rights forms a rapidly growing field of study to which this book makes an important contribution. Van Hees combines the game-theoretic approach with the results and to
For the first time in a generation chain gangs have reappeared on the roads of the American South. Associated in the past with racial terrorism, this cruel and unusual punishment should invoke strong
This book introduces the important ideas of algebraic topology by emphasizing the relation of these ideas with other areas of mathematics. Rather than choosing one point of view of modern topology (ho
This book gives the basis of the probabilistic functional analysis on Wiener space, developed during the last decade. The subject has progressed considerably in recent years thr- ough its links with Q
Origin and Mineralogy of Clays, the first of two volumes, lays the groundwork for a thorough study of clays in the environment. The second volume will deal with environmental interaction. Going from s
Laser-Beam Interactions with Materials treats, from a physicist's point of view, the wide variety of processes that lasers can induce in materials. Physical phenomena ranging from optics to shock wave
Homogeneous catalysis plays an important role both in the laboratory and in the industry. Successful applications in industry involve new polymerisation processes with complexes of zirconium and relat
Stochastic programming - the science that provides us with tools to design and control stochastic systems with the aid of mathematical programming techniques - lies at the intersection of statistic
Compiled from 350 anecdotes told by parents of children with autism, and analyzed by behavior therapists, this handbook illustrates effective solutions to behavior problems related to aggression, comm
Hodge theory is a standard tool in characterizing differ- ential complexes and the topology of manifolds. This book is a study of the Hodge-Kodaira and related decompositions on manifolds with boundar
Encourages practitioners to address the major psychosocial problems faced by patients with traumatic brain injury, and to do so within the context of the family, which most often shoulders the respons
Author Richard J. Dent's treatise incorporates traditional ideas about patterns and processes evident in local prehistory with recent ideas on the nature of the past and prehistoric lifeways. His stud
Marine Ecological Processes is a modern review and synthesis of marine ecology that provides the reader - particularly the graduate student - with a lucid introduction to the intellectual concepts, ap
Stochastic Programming is the science that provides us with tools to design and control stochastic systems with the aid of mathematical programming techniques. It is on the border line of statistics a
Embodiment, Morality and Medicine deals with the relevance of `embodiment' to bioethics, considering both the historical development and contemporary perspectives on the mind--body relation. The empha
Amazingly, the complexities of voting theory can be explained and resolved with comfortable geometry. A geometry which unifies such seemingly disparate topics as manipulation, monotonicity, and even t
For researchers and scientifically oriented practitioners (clinical and otherwise), provides reviews of the research on many of the most important topics concerned with the relationship between self-e
