This book brings together an extensive body of knowledge regarding complex dynamics from various academic disciplines. It includes numerous examples and applications, almost 700 illustrations and numerical simulations based on the use of Matlab.

This fully updated second edition presents powerful models, based on organizational cybernetics and system dynamics, in a way that lets readers apply them immediately in practice. It is a rich source for ideas for the improvement of any kind of organization.

Three centuries ago Montmort and De Moivre published two books on probability theory emphasizing its most important application at that time, games of chance. This book, on the probabilistic aspects of gambling, is a modern version of those classics.

Software product management and pricing are key success factors for any organization providing software. This book defines the term "software product" and looks at the business and organizational sides. The focus is on the optimization of long-term success.

For engineers, finite element methods have become important tools for design and optimization, even for solving nonlinear technological problems. This book provides the knowledge needed for finite element analysis in solid mechanics.

An analysis of criminal behavior from the perspectives of rational choice theory leading to suggestions for a criminal policy. Previous edition sold 900 copies world wide since its release in June 2001.

This book, written by a master of the subject, is primarily devoted to discrete subgroups of finite covolume in semi-simple Lie groups. The author not only proves results in the classical geometry setting, but also obtains theorems of an algebraic nature.

Density functional theory is an important tool in many-body physics that has found applications in atomic, molecular, solid-state and nuclear physics. This book describes Schrodinger theory from the perspective of fields and quantal sources. It explains the physics underlying the functionals and functional derivatives of traditional DFT.

Template-driven Consulting is a book for managers who have long been searching for a way to cut costs on expensive external business advice. Applying TDC, your employees become the experts whilst you see the number of and cost for external consultants decrease tremendously!

Presents the results of a temporary interdisciplinary project, ranging from a discussion of the theoretical and practical possibilities in human-embryo experimentation and its alternatives in research on adult stem cells, a comparison of the situations of regulation of embryo research in Europe, and a survey of European public attitudes.

Profound and conceptual analysis of linkages between CSR and financial performanceOverview of recent empirical studies in CSREconometric analysis of relation between corporate social and firm performance

This book applies the principles of nutrition to the study of fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The acquisition of food, its digestion and absorption, and the retention and utilization of energy substrates, water and other nutrients are treated in detail.

Walk down any main street in Paris or New York and there is evidence of the counterfeit goods trade. This is the first book to fully examine the size of the counterfeit market. It describes counterfeit trade from a global and strategic business perspective.

The Great Depression of the 1930s gave birth to a branch of economics christened macroeconomics. This highly readable book presents an unconventional and timely perspective on macroeconomics - the interplay of theory and policy in a historical context.

From the reviews: "Haus' book provides numerous insights on topics of wide importance, and contains much material not available elsewhere in book form. [...] an indispensable resource for those working in quantum optics or electronics." Optics & Photonics News

Nonlinear and nonnormal filters are introduced and developed. Traditional nonlinear filters such as the extended Kalman filter and the Gaussian sum filter give biased filtering estimates, and therefore several nonlinear and nonnormal filters have been derived from the underlying probability density functions.

This is the first ever comprehensive treatment of NEXAFS spectroscopy. It is suitable for novice researchers as an introduction to the field, while experts will welcome the detailed description of state-of-the-art instrumentation and analysis techniques, along with the latest experimental and theoretical results.

Consumer markets for foods and beverages in developed countries are well supplied and highly fragmented. It approaches food quality from both the technical and the consumer satisfaction perspectives, and assesses the roles of management and regulatory tools in delivering food quality for all.

Based on the authors extensive experimental experience, NMR Spectroscopy of Polymers explains the practical use of NMR spectroscopy in polymer chemistry.

Scientific visualization may be defined as the transformation of numerical scientific data into informative graphical displays. The focus is on how scientific visualization can help revolutionize the manner in which the tendencies for (dis)similar numerical values to cluster together in location on a map are explored and analyzed.

This monograph treats an extensively developed field in modern mathematical physics - the theory of generalized coherent states and their applications to various physical problems. A number of examples from various areas of theoretical and mathematical physics illustrate advantages of this approach, in Part III.

This book is interdisciplinary in character and combines the knowledge of me chanics and chemical engineering with the aim of presenting a more exhaustive analysis ofthe phenomena occurring in wet materials during drying.

Here, in its third edition, is an overview of SCM processes that explains how to implement them in a company. The author has years of experience in such projects and aims to provide readers with the necessary know-how for a successful implementation project.

Mechanics of non-holonomic systems gives a deep insight into the theory and applications of Analytical Mechanics. The theory suggested is illustrated by the examples of a spacecraft motion. The book is primarily addressed to specialists in analytic mechanics.

This second edition introduces regression models for qualitative and discrete dependent variables, to sample selection models, and to event history models, all in the context of maximum likelihood estimation. It presents a number of commonly used models.
