Part of "Wavelet Analysis And Its Applications" series, this book presents an introductory treatise on wavelet analysis, with an emphasis on spline wavelets and time-frequency analysis. It covers such topics as: time-frequency localization, integral wavelet transforms, dyadic wavelets, frames, spline-wavelets, orthonormal wavelet bases, and more.

Aims to provide a variety of exercises, from formulating research questions through interpreting and presenting final results. This book attempts to share the collective teaching expertise and experience of members of the Animal Behavior Society and supports a range of pedagogical styles and texts in animal behavior with learning experiences.

Presents a collection of articles which look at fragmented habitats, bringing together theoretical advances and empirical studies applying the metapopulation approach. This book integrates ecology with genetics and evolutionary biology, and illustrates how metapopulation concepts and models can be applied to answer questions about conservation.

What is the underlying psychology of a serial killer and why this defeats task force investigations? This title takes readers inside the operations of serial killer task forces to learn why. It provides both professionals and students with the analysis of what went wrong, and after-action recommendations of evaluators in the US, UK, and Canada.

This book assimilates the principles of chemistry, physics, and materials science, thereby providing a fundamental understanding of sol-gel processing.

Compiles the applicable methods for solving and approximating differential equations, as well as numerous examples showing the methods used. This book provides: the types of equations to which the method is applicable; the idea behind the method; the procedure for carrying out the method; and at least one simple example of the method.

Grazing animals need to be managed in order to accommodate desired results in terms of animal, plant, land and economic responses. This work integrates principles and management techniques that apply to grazing lands and to all grazing animals. It talks about animal nutrition and nutritional balance when fed on different sorts of grazing lands.

Provides a comprehensive examination of valuation tools and guidance for analyzing and valuing a business. This title covers the basics of valuation methods and shareholder value creation in addition to rigorous approaches to discounted cash flow valuation and real options for valuing a company.

An introductory text on development and application of mathematical models. It focuses on techniques of particular interest to engineers and scientists who model continuous systems. It offers more than 360 problems, providing opportunities for practice, and covers a range of interdisciplinary topics - from engineering to economics to the sciences.

Useful for specialists and non-specialists in organic chemistry. This work includes 250 organic reactions and their strategic use in the synthesis of complex natural and unnatural products. It also contains more than 10,000 references grouped by seminal papers, reviews, modifications, and theoretical works.

This book is an exposition of semi-Riemannian geometry (also called pseudo-Riemannian geometry)--the study of a smooth manifold furnished with a metric tensor of arbitrary signature. The principal special cases are Riemannian geometry, where the metric is positive definite, and Lorentz geometry. For many years these two geometries have developed almost independently: Riemannian geometry reformulated in coordinate-free fashion and directed toward global problems, Lorentz geometry in classical tensor notation devoted to general relativity. More recently, this divergence has been reversed as physicists, turning increasingly toward invariant methods, have produced results of compelling mathematical interest.

One of the largest patient populations seen by neuropsychologists are older adults suffering from problems associated with aging. This book provides a guide to neuropsychological clinicians called upon to assess this population. It details the phases and considerations in performing a neuropsychological assessment of an older patient.
