This practical guide covers the entire scope of traumatology in the important border area between the neuro- and viscerocranium. It focuses on diagnostic operation planning and the interdisciplinary management of craniofacial injuries.

The book can be used as a textbook for graduate students concentrating on structural mechanics, or as a reference book for engineers and researchers in the fields of engineering mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering.

From a theoretical as well as from a practical perspective, however, it is interesting to know more about the relation between private equity portfolio diversification and performance, how private equity firms manage their portfolios, and what public companies can learn from private equity firms.

The previous advanced courses of the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy have regularly taken place in Saas-Fee, a small resort in the Swiss Alps, hence the name "Saas-Fee" used to de scribe the courses and lecture notes.

This book covers various topics related to complex sports biodynamics. It dispels classical myths of a biomechanically sound serve, forehand, and backhand, and describes and explains the physical and mental abilities of a champion.

Studying the ramifications of public pension policies in a growing economy, this text analyzes the impact of an unfunded public pension scheme on aggregate productivity growth and efficiency. It considers the political forces behind public pension legislation and discusses public pension reform.

The developments of economic theory in the 1950s served to pinpoint important underlying assumptions in the study of market institutions.

This softcover edition of a very popular work presents a thorough first course in analysis, leading from real numbers to such advanced topics as differential forms on manifolds, Fourier, Laplace, and Legendre transforms, elliptic functions and distributions.

The book presents fundamental numerical methods which are most frequently applied in the electrical (electronic) engineering. Mathematical problems are solved step by step, and all methods discussed are illustrated with real-world examples of applications.

This book studies the coexistence of inflation and unemployment in a monetary union. The focus is on how to reduce the associated loss. It further gives a description of processes in a monetary union where different targets are pursued by various institutions.

This book details RFID security and privacy systems technology. It also examines the problems currently being faced by those working in the field and introduces a comprehensive framework, including required protocols for operation.

This book offers a comprehensive review of the known literature data devoted to the reactions of a,ss-unsaturated ketones, their synthetic equivalents and precursor.

This reference covers technical information on ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and its application to air and surface disinfection and the control of pathogens and allergens. Its main focus is airborne microbes and surface contamination applications.

Mammalian cell products such as monoclonals and cytokines dominate the biopharmaceutical industry. This book explores the interactions between biological, biochemical and engineering principles in processes derived from cell cultures.

Vladimir Arnold is one of the greatest mathematical scientists of our time, as well as one of the finest, most prolific mathematical authors. This first volume of his Collected Works focuses on representations of functions, celestial mechanics and KAM theory.

Based on a course taught for years to students in both nuclear and biomedical engineering, this book first introduces the structure of matter at the subatomic scale before it covers the experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics.

This casebook addresses selected precedent-setting rulings of various international human rights and international criminal courts with a focus on the child victims of international crimes and human rights abuses.

This resource provides a rich set of tools and methods to successfully implement leadership in project/network management. It is ideal for people who want to know and share better what they are going to do and do better what they have planned to do together.

This comprehensive account of the last ten years' scientific results on high-redshift galaxies summarizes and critically discusses the wealth of observational data as well as the methods which made it possible to study these distant and faint objects.

With a strong emphasis on the clinical aspects of genital HPV infection, this fully illustrated book is a practical and comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases from a urological perspective.

This text is directed at the heart of Engineering Geology where geology is used to identify potential problems arising from ground conditions. It describes how to investigate those conditions and to define an engineering response that will either avoid or reduce or even eliminate the problems revealed.

This book discusses open business models in the financial services industry. It explores the developments during the last twenty years, including the subprime crisis and explains the vital transition from a closed model of operation to open innovation.

This text explains the epistemic structure of the relationships among uncertainty, expectations, risk, possibility and probability. It then probes how fuzzy paradigm and fuzzy rationality bring new understanding to those relationships.

This volume is the second in a series on the role of fuzzy paradigm and fuzzy rationality within the theory of knowledge. This one is devoted to unified epistemic models and theories of decision-choice under total uncertainties.

This text offers the general scientific community the epistemic framework of fuzzy paradigm and the rationality it induces for approximate reasoning. It also describes the role fuzzy rationality plays in our information-knowledge enterprise.

This book provides an introduction to basic as well as advanced macrodynamics, viewed as a disequilibrium theory of fluctuating growth. It offers a rigorous alternative to mainstream macrodynamics with applications to the UK and the US.
