Fluid flows are characterized by uncertain inputs such as random initial data, material and flux coefficients, and boundary conditions. The current volume addresses the pertinent issue of efficiently
Focusing on research surrounding aspects of insufficiently studied problems of estimation and optimal control of random fields, this book exposes some important aspects of those fields for systems mod

Being plucked from a Baghdad cafe and deposited in a cell block for political prisoners is a wakeup call for Aziz, the novel's hero and narrator, a young man who has been living on automatic pilot-as
This book presents a new inference technique for time-evolving coupled systems in the presence of noise. It describes a way of using Bayesian inference to exploit the presence of random fluctuations,
"This is a book about exploring random systems using computer simulation and thus, this book combines two different topic areas which have always fascinated me: the mathematical theory of probability
Given the extensive application of random walks in virtually every science related discipline, we may be at the threshold of yet another problem solving paradigm with the advent of quantum walks. Over
Automatic sprinklers systems are the primary fire protection system in warehouse and storage facilities. The effectiveness of this strategy has come into question due to the challenges presented by mo
Relationships are at the core of this study of major strands in Hawaiian history seen through the eyes of a generation that negotiated its Native Hawaiian identity against the grain of Americanization
In his new collection of essays, Occasional Desire, David Lazar meditates on random violence and vanished phone booths, on the excessive relationship to jewelry that links Kobe Bryant and Elizabeth Ta
Case-based reasoning paradigms offer automatic reasoning capabilities which are useful for the implementation of human like machines in a limited sense. This research book is the second volume in a se
As we enter a room full of people, we instantly have a number of social perceptions.We have an automatic perception of others as subjective agents with their own points of view,thoughts, and goals, an
The book introduces at a master's level the numerical methods that use probability or stochastic concepts to analyze random processes. The book aims at being rather general and is addressed at student
The study of measure-valued processes in random environments has seen some intensive research activities in recent years whereby interesting nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs)
