The book grew out of a two-semester course the Rudras have been teaching to first-year Masters students at the University of Kalyani, India; they say it could be also used at the senior undergraduate
This uniquely designed textbook is structured to support educators in teaching the lean supply chain principles, concepts, and ideas used by industry and researched by scholars. It examines a wide ran
This book looks at the presenting scientist from a novel angle: the presenter-host. When scientists give a talk, the audience (“guests”) expects the title of the talk to determine presentation content
Science and technology have become increasingly intertwined in the twentieth century. However, little attention has been paid to the forces that have brought about this phenomena. Indeed, many writers
This important book deals with the essential principles of resource and environmental economics, provides applications to contemporary issues in this field, and outlines and assesses policies being us
Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that used both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructure loads into competent soil strata. This book provides many case histo
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) have proliferated in East Asia as regional economies rush to catch up with the rest of the world — but what difference do they make? This book answers that question by pro
Reliability theory and applications become major concerns of engineers and managers engaged in making high quality products and designing highly reliable systems. This book aims to survey new research
Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the "what" and not the "why". This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector envi
What exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down? These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do so today. The author addresses these thought-provokin
This book is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to familarize themselves with research in braid groups, configuration spaces and their applications. Starting at the beginning, and assuming only
"Random matrix theory has a long history, beginning in the first instance in multivariate statistics. It was used by Wigner to supply explanations for the important regularity features of the apparent
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, financial collapses, and other crisis situations have occupied public attention to an unprecedented degree in recent years. In the face of these events, the study
The anthology contains 33 reviews of the technical literature relating to nanoscience that were published in Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials, and six other journals from the Nature Publishing
P-G De Gennes' Impact in Science is devoted to the scientific impact of the works of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes. In this book, for each field that de Gennes has made a significant contribution in, the au
This book (Vistas II), is a sequel to Vistas of Special Functions (World Scientific, 2007), in which the authors made a unification of several formulas scattered around the relevant literature under t
This book was originally written in 1969 by Berkeley mathematician John Rhodes. It is the founding work in what is now called algebraic engineering, an emerging field created by using the unifying sch
Part of a series on advanced subjects in computer security, this collection of thirteen papers on ad hoc and sensor networks showcases current scholarship in a variety of topic areas relating to on-de
This manual provides practical and accessible information on all aspects of general nephrology, dialysis, and transplantation. It outlines current therapies in straightforward language to help readers
This book was originally written in 1969 by Berkeley mathematician John Rhodes. It is the founding work in what is now called algebraic engineering, an emerging field created by using the unifying sch
This book recalls, for nonscientific readers, the history of quantum mechanics, the main points of its interpretation, and Einstein’s objections to it, together with the responses engendered by his ar
The topics of anisotropy and bianisotropy are fundamental to electromagnetics from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. These properties underlie a host of complex and exotic electromagneti
This book addresses some of the baffling questions encountered at the final frontier of space and time related to particle physics and cosmology in the context of recent iconoclastic observations and
Entropy is a measure of order and disorder. If left alone, aging systems go spontaneously from a youthful, low entropy and order, to an old, high entropy and disorder. This book presents the commonal
This review for undergraduate and graduate students preparing for surgery exams in the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) format highlights surgical pathology peculiar to the Asian popul
Government personnel, academics, and business representatives explore how measures to mitigate climate change are being implemented in Asia. After arranging the chairs, they look at the clean developm
This book primarily serves as a historical research monograph on the biographical sketch and career of Leonhard Euler and his major contributions to numerous areas in the mathematical and physical sc
This book is a collection of scientific papers published during the last five years, showing a broad spectrum of actual research topics and techniques used to solve challenging problems in the areas o
Using a rather disconcerting number of exhortatory exclamation points to do so (and retaining them for later chapters), editor Kiesner (entrepreneurship, Loyola Marymount U.) characterizes this work a
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is an annual international mathematics competition held for pre-collegiate students. It is also the oldest of the international science olympiads, and com
This is the sequel to the bestselling book, The Little Red Dot, published in 2005. While the first volume consisted of a collection of essays by Singapore’s first- and second-generation diplomats, thi
This book is written for undergraduates who wish to learn some basic results in analytic number theory. It covers topics such as Bertrand’s Postulate, the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet’s Theorem
Bastin and Kilmister, who are not further identified, challenge the conventional view that discreteness entered physics with mathematical tools that chopped up continuous phenomena in order to facilit
This book is written for undergraduates who wish to learn some basic results in analytic number theory. It covers topics such as Bertrand’s Postulate, the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet’s Theorem
This is a detailed practical guide for all fractures of the hand and carpus (from the wrist down, but excluding distal radial fractures). Hand fractures constitute 25% of all fractures and are treate
In this book, we aim to collect the most recent advances in artificial intelligence techniques (i.e. neural networks, fuzzy systems, multi-agent systems, genetic algorithms, image analysis, clustering
Intended to summarize the present knowledge of multiverse cosmology, along with the measure problem, this book is appropriate for both academic researchers and graduate students. In an ever expanding
