Starting from first principles, this reference treats the theoretical aspects of quantum optics. It develops a unified approach for determining the dynamics of a two-level and three-level atom in combinations of quantized field under certain conditions.

A handy reference for technicians who want to understand the nature, properties and applications, of engineering ceramics. The book meets the needs of those working in the ceramics industry, as well as of technicians and engineers involved in the application of ceramic materials.

This is the first comprehensive presentation of the quantum non-linear sigma-models. The original papers consider in detail geometrical properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model, illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory.

This monograph is the first to provide readers with numerical tools for a systematic analysis of bifurcation problems in reaction-diffusion equations. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of numerical bifurcation analysis and the necessary tools for investigating nonlinear phenomena in reaction-diffusion equations.

The only monograph on the topic, this book concerns geometric methods in the theory of differential equations with quadratic right-hand sides, closely related to the calculus of variations and optimal control theory. Based on the author's lectures, the book is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students, and scientific researchers.

The authors - both experienced professionals in management education and telecommunications - introduce Total Action concepts and methodologies - where every activity inside the organization is directly relevant for its customers.

The 1963 Goettingen notes of T. A. Springer are well known in the field but have been unavailable for some time. This book is a translation of those notes, completely updated and revised. The part of the book dealing with the algebraic structures is on a fairly elementary level, presupposing basic results from algebra.

Among of group these undecidable problems are the halting problem, the word problem theory, the Post correspondence problem, and Hilbert's tenth problem.

The first part of the book, following a historical introduction, constructs the strati- graphic framework of fluvial deposits, step by step, starting with lithofacies, combining these into architectural elements and other facies associations, and then showing how these, in turn, combine to represent distinctive fluvial styles.

This is the first of a two-volume presentation on current research problems in quantum optics, and will serve as a standard reference in the field for many years to come.

The book is an introduction to modern probability theory written by one of the famous experts in this area. Readers will learn about the basic concepts of probability and its applications, preparing them for more advanced and specialized works.

Plant disease epidemiology, being the ecological branch of plant pathology, may also be of value to ecologists, but also epidemiologists in the areas of animal or human diseases may find interesting results, applicable to their areas of research.

The book gives the reader the basis for understanding the way numerical schemes achieve accurate and stable simulations of physical phenomena. The book builds on simple model equations and, pedagogically, on a host of problems given together with their solutions.

This book presents the solutions to the problems in convective heat transfer. It also contains computer programs to solve homework problems on the CD accompanying the book. These programs are based on differential and integral methods.

Nonlinearities and optics, optoelectronics and fiber communications are discussed systematically in this book. It will be of interest to graduate students as well as researchers and engineers in the fields of nonlinear optics and optical communications.

The generous social welfare system in Europe is one of the most important differences between Europe and the US. This book takes this trade-off as a starting point and contributes to a better interdisciplinary understanding of the interactions between crime, economic performance and social exclusion.

The same approach refers to several specialized topics of the liquid state, most of which are recent developments, such as: a perturbation approach to the surface tension, an algebraic perturbation theory of polar nonpolarizable fluids and ferrocolloids, a semi-phenomenological theory of the Tolman length and some others.

A comprehensive description of hybrid plasma simulation models providing a very useful summary and guide to the vast literature on this topic.

This book contains the author's experiences and opinions about founding companies and watching them prosper, about how research and science work, and about the politics of innovation. It was written for entrepreneurs or potential company founders who would like to learn more about the challenges of building a company.

With contributions by numerous experts

The ambition of the theory of imperfectly competitive markets is to explain the working of markets in which the issue of strategic interaction among firms is central.

The internationalization of financial markets is one of the focal points in the discussion about recent globalization trends. Also, the book uses European financial integration as a case study for general integration trends.

Provides a detailed overview that describes the key properties and explains how to measure them using modern techniques. Written by an expert in flows and flow properties, this manual focuses on the application of rheological (flow) measurements to cosmetic and food emulsions and the correlation of these results with findings from other tests.

The change is from the positivistic views in which atomism, nondeterminism and measurement are fundamental, to a holistic view in realism, wherein matter - electrons, galaxies, - are correlated modes of a single continuum, the universe.

This book teaches readers how to architect the way their company is experienced at every real-life touchpoint. It explains how to use physical meetings and locations to create an affinity with a given market segment as well as how to engage an audience.

The main objective of this concise book is to derive and explain the most fundamental algorithms from a strictly broadband (signals and/or processing) viewpoint. Thanks to the approach taken here, new concepts come to light that have great potential.

This book presents fundamental principles for problem analysis and algorithm design used in bioinformatics. It includes numerous cause studies from the main fields of bioinformatics, from sequencing and mapping to pseudo-knot detection.

Linear Systems Control provides a very readable graduate text giving a good foundation for reading more rigorous texts. There are multiple examples, problems and solutions. This unique book successfully combines stochastic and deterministic methods.
