TO THE SECOND EDITION When preparing the manuscript for the original edition of this book we were only partly aware of the pace at which the field of membrane transport was developing and at which new ideas as well as new techniques would be applied to it.

The last twenty years have witnessed an enormous development of nuclear physics. The further development of our understanding of the nucleus has depended, and still depends, on the development of ever more powerful experimental techniques for measuring nuclear properties and more powerful theoretical techniques for correlating these properties.

The mediastinum is a virtual compartment in the chest cavity that is the seat of several vital organs and structures that can be involved in a variety of pathologic processes, including congenital and developmental abnormalities, inflammatory conditions, and benign and malignant neoplasms.

National Intellectual Capital (NIC), comprised mainly of human capital, market capital, process capital, renewal capital and financial capital, is a valuable intangible asset and a key source of national competitive advantage in today's knowledge economy.

Software Engineering Techniques Applied to Agricultural Systems presents cutting-edge software engineering techniques for designing and implementing better agricultural software systems based on the object-oriented paradigm and the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

That residues of pesticide and other "foreign" chemicals in food stuffs are of concern to everyone everywhere is amply attested by the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and by the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by all the in dividuals from whom manuscripts have been solicited.

Child psychiatry differs from general psychiatry in being con cerned with a developing organism, and it is entirely appropriate that the book begins with an account of child development and of the prin cipal theories put forward to explain it.

This multidisciplinary examination of the four major professional sports leagues in the USA-football, basketball, ice hockey, and baseball-analyzes the leagues' long-term competitive advantage from economic, political, and strategic management perspectives.

This book provides up-to-date analytical tools to address challenging operational problems in renewable energy production facilities, such as wind- and solar-based generation units. It includes many illustrative examples.

With comprehensive treatment of applied mathematical modeling in economics, population biology, and environmental science, this popular publication has been updated to textbook format for its second edition, which emphasizes control and optimization.

This book offers tools to analyze complex societal issues using insights gained from informed estimates and calculations. It demonstrates the transition from physics to laws and treaties focusing on such issues as national security, environment, and energy.

This book, written for the logistics manager and researcher, presents an authoritative survey of the modern theory and application of logistics, including case studies in which decision support tools for large-scale logistics applications are developed.

This book introduces a wide variety of mathematical methods, such as signal processing, systems identification, and stochastic differential equations, to an undergraduate audience interested in biological dynamics. Includes exercises and examples.

This book provides an introduction to modern statistics. It also offers an integrated treatment of mathematical statistics and statistical computation, emphasizing statistical modeling, computational techniques, and applications.

This expert guide to the entire process of data analysis offers non-specialists a user-friendly introduction using real-life examples. It takes readers from hypothesis generation to the techniques involved in writing up their results in manuscript form.

A complete resource on theory and computation, this book will be of interest to a range of practitioners, from mathematicians interested in prolate spheroidal wave functions as an analytical tool to electrical engineers designing filters and antennas.

This monograph describes and discusses the properties of heterogeneous materials, including conductivity, elastic moduli, and dielectrical constant. This multidisciplinary book will appeal to applied physicists, materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, chemists, and applied mathematicians.

This book presents human intelligence concepts such as Metacognition and Metamemory, framed for autonomous Artificial Intelligence systems. Discussion includes architectural constructs for AI versions of brain functions like the prefrontal cortex, and more.

This book presents advanced algorithms used in modern communications systems. It will help algorithm designers and chip designers meet challenges posed by the ongoing increase of algorithmic complexity and required data throughput for mobile applications.

This volume provides the results of a 30-year excavation, reconstruction, and public interpretation campaign at the late prehistoric settlement of Castell Henllys. It offers careful consideration of the changing roles of heritage in cultural politics.

The methodologies presented in this book enable designers to reuse intellectual property (IP) blocks from existing designs in an efficient, reliable manner, automatically generating correct Systems-on-Chips from multiple, possibly mismatching, components.

Interference is at the core of many types of optical detection and is a powerful probe of cellular and tissue structure. This book presents the fundamental physics of optical interferometry as applied to biophysical, biological and medical research.

This book presents the fundamental principles of irrigation need assessment, water relations in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and the principles needed to adopt the most appropriate approach toward irrigation development and management.
