What inspires people to leave certainty behind to pursue their vision through creativity and entrepreneurship? The authors, entrepreneurial researchers at Nyenrode Business University, explore entrepreneurship through the lens of human behaviour.

In this book, an applicative model of complex urban interventions is presented. Based on a literature review, the model integrates different forms of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Case studies of different European urban centres are explored.

This book provides a good understanding of fundamentals and principles of Neurology. It presents a hybrid of information, both from the clinical field and from basic physiology. There is strong emphasis on concepts, but less emphasis on various diseases.

New studies reveal that automatic and robotic welding can partially emulate a skilled human welder's intelligent behavior. This book presents research on various application issues confronting artificial intelligence welding.

Trajectory planning and motion law generation for automatic machines and robots are becoming ever more relevant in motion control system design. This book examines the problems, especially in applications where high dynamics in the payloads are desired.

The first part of this overview on extended defects in Germanium covers fundamentals, describing crystallographic structure and other physical and electrical properties. The second part treats the extended defects during wafer and device processing.

With this book, the authors aim to provide an overview of enterprise architecture including the process of creating, applying and maintaining it. The book successfully combines technology and business perspectives, and it questions standard approaches.

This book, one of the first of its kind, presents mechanisms, protocols, and system architectures needed to attain end-to-end Quality of Service over heterogeneous wired and wireless networks in the Internet.

This monograph gives an overview of various classes of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and their applications in Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid dynamics, integrable systems, gauge theory, and complex geometry. The text includes many exercises and open questions.

In this book, the author thoroughly examines the basic mechanical and thermal effects of rotation. The author is an internationally recognized researcher, and the book offers the first comprehensive pedagogically written treatment for researchers and students.

This monograph helps teachers at all levels to diagnose and 'cure' erroneous pre-concepts about science, often picked up in school. In case of the school-made misconceptions it will help to prevent them from the very beginning through reflective teaching.

This book is a translation of the earlier book written by Koji Doi and the author, who revised it substantially for this English edition. It offers the basic knowledge of elliptic modular forms necessary to understand recent developments in number theory. It also treats the unit groups of quaternion algebras, rarely dealt with in books;

The development of international trade theory has created a wide array of different theories, concepts and results.

Modern business cycle theory and growth theory uses stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models. A wide variety of mathematical tools are needed to solve these models. This book presents methods used to compute the dynamics of general equilibrium models.

This book describes the strategies and processes of a multi-national US corporation applied in entering emerging markets around the globe. This process was strongly supported by sharing of learning and resources within the company, and with the local partners, thus creating mutual added value.

Fueled by the ongoing debate about the distributive effects of the Washington Consensus, the dynamics of poverty and inequality have returned to the center of attention of academic scholars, policymakers, and the public at large.

This book presents statistical knowledge, and methodology of sampling and data analysis specifically for spatial inventory and monitoring of local natural resources. The book functions as a design guide for efficient sampling schemes and monitoring systems can be designed, consistent with the aims and constraints of the project.

This is the second volume of a modern introduction to quantum field theory. Intended for physicists and mathematicians, it seeks to bridge the language gap between the two fields. It contains a detailed study on the quantum theory of light.

Among all computer-generated mathematical images, Julia sets of rational maps occupy one of the most prominent positions. This accessible book summarizes the present knowledge about the computational properties of Julia sets in a self-contained way.

Latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCM) has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of heat and cold storages and to reduce their size considerably. This book offers the ideal introduction to the field for researchers and students.

Therefore, the basic goal of the mono graph "Advanced Theory of Vibrations 1" is to help students studying vibration theory for gaining experience in application of this theory for solving particular problems.

Devoted to the simplest kind of Green's functions, namely the solutions of linear differential equations with a -function source. This book demonstrates the powerful and unifying formalism of Green's functions across many applications, including transport properties, carbon nanotubes, and photonics and photonic crystals.

The authors of this timely reference provide an updated and global view on ocean wave energy conversion - and they do so for wave energy developers as well as for students and professors. It describes the actual principles applied to machines that convert wave power to electricity and examines state-of-the-art modern systems.

This concise and readable book addresses primarily readers with a background in classical statistical physics and introduces quantum mechanical notions as required.

This book introduces a new approach to macroeconomics based on endogenous market structures (EMSs), with a close focus on business cycles, international trade and policy and growth.

This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. The presentation is modern and comprehensive. Its introduction into tensors is very gentle. The book contains many examples and exercises, and is intended for scientists, practitioners and students of mechanics.

The book concentrates on powder flow properties, their measurement and applications. A wide range of problems are discussed - such as flow obstructions, segregation, and vibrations. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of the powder flow, and to show practical solutions.

Not only does this book provide a hugely practical approach that uses geostatistical as well as petrophysical methods, it can also be used as course material to integrate geology, geophysics and engineering. Lucia's book focuses on the improvement of geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical methods in oil prospecting.

Presents a range of investment appraisal methods and models to help readers make good investment decisions.
