This book is a collection of more than 500 attractive open problems in the field. The largely self-contained chapters provide a broad overview of discrete geometry, along with historical details and the most important partial results related to these problems.

This new edition has been made more user-friendly through organization into more concise chapters. It addresses the mathematical needs of sophomores and juniors in physics, engineering and other related fields. An entirely new section covers Probability.

Laser Refractography explores the theoretical basis of refractography, and describes experimental setups for the measurement of transparent media. Specific examples are discussed, including the visualization of the boundary layer near a hot or cold metallic ball in water.

This book covers the Ramsey Theory, from its history to its famous problems. It also offers studies of Issai Schur, Pierre Joseph, Henry Baudet, and B.L. van der Waerden, incorporating photos and correspondence never before published.

This book provides, in one volume, comprehensive coverage of the procedures for measuring the whole range of the physical properties of rubber.This new edition presents an up-to-date introduction to the standard methods used for testing, quality control analysis, product evaluation, and production of design data for rubber and elastomers.

Whether assessing general family functioning or specific areas of conflict, professionals preparing child custody evaluations require sound knowledge of three interrelated fields: up-to-date legal issues, psychological findings, and forensic procedures.

This book collects approximately nine hundred problems that have appeared on the preliminary exams in Berkeley over the last twenty years.

Here is an historical overview and analysis of the Enlightenment's influence on modern democratic societies, modern culture, political science, civil society and the economy. Explores counter-Enlightenment, Post-Enlightenment and Neo-Enlightenment philosophies.

This book reveals how Democrats and Republicans have contributed to an array of laws, subsidies, and programs that have secured their lock on American politics. It considers the potential for opening the field to third-party candidacies.

This rigorous, detailed introduction to real analysis presents the fundamentals clearly and includes definitions, theorems and proofs. Mirroring the structure of standard calculus courses makes it especially accessible to university students of mathematics.

Most small businesses cite lack of capital is a major constraint on growth. This title focuses on non-bank sources of capital since banks only lend to companies that fit a very narrow profile. It covers topics such as: capital sources entrepreneurs can tap when they are too small or unusual for banks, angel investors and venture capital, and more.

This book consists of 23 essays about prominent people and events in the history of respiratory physiology. Although it concentrates on physiology, it also describes how cultural movements, such as The Enlightenment, shaped the researchers discussed. This book is published on behalf of the American Physiological Society by Springer.

Fully supported with underlying mechanical concepts, this revised new edition includes exercises and examples throughout in its concise and accessible introduction to functional analysis, including new material on essential inequalities and imbedding results.

Electrical Machines enables readers to develop machine mathematical models and equivalent circuits. The text covers the most relevant concepts in machine size, torque and power, and explains losses and secondary effects.

This study emphasizes the importance of different environmental cultures and of political conjunctures in a single country of which different environm- tal groups take advantage.

The Painted Stork extensively covers this species beyond its stronghold in India and Sri Lanka, to other countries such as Eastern Asia. Recent studies provide a comprehensive review of the painted stork, and explore how monsoon rains affect nesting patterns.

This book furnishes the critical information to deal with this threat and provides all the necessary information that First Responders, Hospitals, HazMat Teams, Fire and Rescue Services, and other First Responders need to know when dealing with dangerous chemical agents.

This book analyses British action in the Southern hemisphere in the late 18th century, examining two Royal Navy ships, one off the Argentinean coast and one off the Southeast Australian coast. The author goes beyond a descriptive analysis of wrecks by treating them and their cargoes as embodiments of 18th century social relations.

Natural duality theory is one of the major growth areas within general algebra. This combination of local simplicity and global complexity ensures that, for the study of natural duality theory, unary algebras are an excellent source of examples and counterexamples. A number of results appear here for the first time.

Overviews manufacturing systems from the ground up, following the same concept as in the first edition. Delves into the fundamental building blocks of manufacturing systems: manufacturing processes and equipment.

This focus was timely partly because of the currently running BIOTA Africa programmes (BIOdiversity Monitoring Transect Analysis in Africa). BIOTA is an interdisciplinary research project focusing on sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity in Africa (http://www.biote-africa.de).

This volume addresses advanced DEA methodology and techniques developed for modeling unique new performance evaluation issues. Many numerical examples, real management cases and verbal descriptions make it very valuable for researchers and practitioners.

This is the second in a two-volume handbook on sample preparation for the transmission electron microscope. It describes 14 different preparation techniques, including 22 detailed protocols for preparing thin slices for TEM analysis.

This book offers an in-depth examination of the mechanical analyses and modeling of advanced small-scale structures and heterogeneous material systems, discussing real-life reliability issues for the benefit of both researchers and engineers.

This book covers production of hydrocolloid (water-soluble polymer) beads, including techniques to change and to estimate their physical and chemical properties. Covers uses of beads in agriculture, biotechnology, environmental studies, medicine and food.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of engineering undergraduate differential equations as well as linear vibrations and feedback control. It provides a streamlined and efficient treatment of material normally covered in three courses.

This book provides a comprehensive and detailed exposition of a new mathematical approach for studying the dynamics of articulated multibody systems. The approach is useful in a wide range of applications including robotics and aerospace systems.

This book provides models and procedures to be used by electricity market agents to make informed decisions under uncertainty. These procedures rely on well established stochastic programming models, which make them efficient and robust.

This book illustrates how models of complex systems are built up and provides indispensable mathematical tools for studying their dynamics. This second edition includes more recent research results and many new and improved worked out examples and exercises.
