This book identifies key factors that drive the development and improvement of higher education research in emerging and advanced economies.

This book describes a new type of passive electronic components, called fractal elements, from a theoretical and practical point of view. The concepts of fractals and fractal signals are explained, as well as the fundamentals of fractional calculus.

This book is the first one addressing quantum information from the viewpoint of group symmetry. This book treats optimal information processes including quantum state estimation, quantum state cloning, estimation of group action and quantum channel etc.

This book focuses on the mathematical potential and computational efficiency of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for modeling seismic wave propagation in either continuous or discrete inhomogeneous elastic/viscoelastic, isotropic/anisotropic media containing multiple cavities, cracks, inclusions and surface topography.

Using life history and thematic interviews, the author brings the narratives of officials, survivors, returnees, perpetrators, and others whose lives have been intimately affected by genocide into conversation with scholarly studies of the Rwandan genocide, and Rwandan history more generally.

Using a novel approach that combines high temporal resolution of the laser T-jump technique with unique sets of fluorescent probes, this study unveils previously unresolved DNA dynamics during search and recognition by an architectural DNA bending protein and two DNA damage recognition proteins.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge discoveries and the systems approaches related to the multi-disciplinary field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), which may provide the scientific basis for mind-body relationships, and aid in the development of personalized medicine.

This book examines the use of image and text juxtapositions in conceptual art as a strategy for challenging several ideological and institutional demands placed on art. In particular, it asks: How has the presence of language in a visual art context changed the ways art is talked about, theorised and produced?

This book provides a thorough treatment of privacy and security issues for researchers in the fields of smart grids, engineering, and computer science.

This book examines the lives of the sentenced to argue that 'sentencing' should be re-conceived to consider the human perspective.

This book introduces 'convenience' as the key concept to explain financial crime by white-collar criminals. It advances our understanding of white-collar crime by drawing attention to private investigation reports by fraud examiners and financial crime specialists, who are in the growing business of fraud investigations.

This book explores the impact and efficiency of Western intervention in African civil wars. Her analysis concludes that the relational context of interventions helps determine the likelihood of success and that not all states are appropriately equipped to intervene in all civil wars, which is not simply a function of defense spending on materials.

With more than twice the number of exercises than the first edition, this revised and expanded textbook covers the key developments in analog-to-digital conversion in a pedagogical framework suited for both graduate-level courses and professionals.

This book addresses the linear and nonlinear two-phase stability of the one-dimensional Two-Fluid Model (TFM) material waves and the numerical methods used to solve it.

This thesis introduces a successfully designed and commissioned intelligent health monitoring system, specifically for use on any industrial robot, which is able to predict the onset of faults in the joints of the geared transmissions.

This thesis introduces a new integrated algorithm for the detection of lane-level irregular driving. To date, there has been very little improvement in the ability to detect lane level irregular driving styles, mainly due to a lack of high performance positioning techniques and suitable driving pattern recognition algorithms.

This book provides an elaboration and evaluation of the dominant conceptions of genetic counseling as they are accounted for in three different models: the teaching model;

This book studies the process of demographic transition which has played a key role in the economic development of Western countries.
