The mathematical theory enables us to systematically measure the effectiveness of different policies and institutional structures at varying levels of resource abundance and cost.The theory presented in this book shows that there do not exist universally optimal policies or institutional structures.

This book covers the latest research work done in the area of interface mechanics of collagen and chitin-based biomaterials along with various techniques that can be used to understand mechanics of biological systems and materials.

This book provides readers with the fundamental, analytical, and quantitative knowledge of machining process planning and optimization based on advanced and practical understanding of machinery, mechanics, accuracy, dynamics, monitoring techniques, and control strategies that they need to understanding machining and machine tools.

This book presents the research and development results on power systems oscillations in three categories of analytical methods. The book covers three main types of controllers: Power System Stabilizer (PSS), FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) stabilizer, and ESS (Energy Storage Systems) stabilizer.

The book is a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the mathematical modeling and analysis of infectious diseases. Various types of deterministic dynamical models are considered: ordinary differential equation models, delay-differential equation models, difference equation models, age-structured PDE models and diffusion models.

This is the story of radio astronomy. You will learn what astronomers are doing with those huge dishes dotted around the world. Those sections no longer regarded as cutting edge have been removed from this revised edition.

This text is an introduction to harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces, focusing on advanced topics such as higher rank spaces, positive definite matrix space and generalizations.

This exposition provides the state-of-the art on the differential geometry of hypersurfaces in real, complex, and quaternionic space forms. Special emphasis is placed on isoparametric and Dupin hypersurfaces in real space forms as well as Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms.

This book presents machine learning models and algorithms to address big data classification problems. The first part mainly focuses on the topics that are needed to help analyze and understand data and big data. The third part presents the topics required to understand and select machine learning techniques to classify big data.

The papers collected in this hugely useful volume cover the principle physical and biological aspects of radiation therapy and in addition, address practical clinical considerations in the planning and delivering of that therapy.

This book focuses on a development of optimal, flexible, and efficient models and algorithms for cell formation in group technology. Its main aim is to provide a reliable tool that can be used by managers and engineers to design manufacturing cells based on their own preferences and constraints imposed by a particular manufacturing system.

This book covers the fundamentals of biomechanics. Topics include bio solids, biofluids, stress, balance and equilibrium. Students are encouraged to contextualize principles and exercises within a "big picture" of biomechanics. This is an ideal book for undergraduate students with interests in biomedical engineering.

This atlas is designed to aid in the careful and thorough gross examination of the placenta. With 186 illustrations, 154 in color, the atlas contains a wealth of important information and provides a rapid reference for pathologists.

This book shows how to look at ways of visualizing large datasets, whether large in numbers of cases, or large in numbers of variables, or large in both. All ideas are illustrated with displays from analyses of real datasets.

This book explains in clear, non-mathematical language the measurements and the interpretation of the resulting data that have led to the current understanding of the origin, evolution and properties of our expanding Big Bang universe.

This book reviews basic terminology, concepts, taxonomy and tenets of inventory systems, then explores models: EOQ, lot-sizing, Newsvendor, continuous time and more. The authors discuss in detail different real situations in industry and theoretical models.

Chapters cover surgery for incontinence, prolapse, urethral diverticula, vaginal fistula, reconstruction, surgery for urethral obstruction and vaginal cysts and masses, and lastly, complications of vaginal surgery.

Completely revised and greatly expanded, the new edition of this text takes readers who have been exposed to only basic courses in analysis through the modern general theory of random processes and stochastic integrals as used by systems theorists, electronic engineers and, more recently, those working in quantitative and mathematical finance.

This book serves as an up-to-date Rorschach primer and elaborates on the various applications of Rorschach assessment for adolescents with respect to differential diagnosis, forensic consultation, and therapeutic assessment. The final chapter draws on information in the preceding chapters to present a model for Rorschach assessment of adolescents.

This volume offers a comprehensive history of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL), one of the major marine laboratories in the United States and a leader in using marine organisms to study fundamental physiological concepts.

Here is a comprehensive examination of how the origins of biotechnology research agendas, along with the effectiveness of the seed delivery system and bio-safety oversight, help to explain current patterns of crop development and adoption in China.

Following upheaval Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, this book discusses the autocratic state not as a unit characterized by strength or weakness but rather as a structure that can alternately inhibit or facilitate the appearance of protests at the national level.
