Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques are basic and valuable tools in various scientific and engineering disciplines.

The book is divided into two parts: Part I deals with the relevant physics and planning algorithms of protons (H Breuer) and Part II with the radiobiology, radiopathology and clinical outcomes of proton therapy and a comparison of proton therapy versus photon therapy (BJ Smit).

A comprehensive approach to Wind Turbine Generator Systems (WTGS) and their operation in dynamic electric power system analysis. They describe the complicated dynamical system behavior of wind turbines much better than the over-simplified static models.

Noted food expert and author, Ian Shaw, also places the risks of food, food-born pathogens and food contaminants into the context of life's overall risks.

Notes by B. Friedman

This book has been long awaited in the "interacting particle systems" community. Begun by Claude Kipnis before his untimely death, it was completed by Claudio Landim, his most brilliant student and collaborator. It presents the techniques used in the proof of the hydrodynamic behavior of interacting particle systems.

One of the most remarkable theorems in coding theory is Gleason's 1970 theorem about the weight enumerators of self-dual codes and their connections with invariant theory. This book develops a new theory which is powerful enough to include all the earlier generalizations. It is also in part an extensive encyclopedia listing the different types of self-dual codes and their properties.

This is the new and totally revised edition of Lutkepohl's classic 1991 work. It provides a detailed introduction to the main steps of analyzing multiple time series, model specification, estimation, model checking, and for using the models for economic analysis and forecasting.

This story of the Galileo spacecraft probe to Jupiter`s moon provides a unique understanding of the Galileo images of Europa, and examines in detail the physical setting that might sustain extra-terrestrial life in Europa's ocean and icy crust.

This book is one of the first to probe deeply into the art and science of branding industrial products. It provides the concepts, the theory, and dozens of cases illustrating the successful branding of industrial goods.

The only book containing a complete treatment on the construction of electric power lines. Reflecting the changing economic and technical environment of the industry, this publication introduces beginners to the full range of relevant topics of line design and implementation.

This fresh and original text on quantum mechanics focuses on: the development of numerical methods for obtaining specific results; Numerous exercises with hints and solutions, examples and applications, and a guide to key references help the student to work with the text.

This book provides a thorough approach for mastering the behavior and operation of induction motors, an essential device in the modern industrial world. The principles of such modern control methods as Fiel-Oriented Control, Direct Torque Control and Computed Charges Acceleration Method are clearly treated in this monograph.

"... a well structured and documented book that certainly reflects the new era of logistics." Two new sections, a new appendix, and more than half a dozen new figures. Provides new concept for an integrated examination of logistics systemsFeatures "reasonable" solutions requiring as little information as possible

Devoted to finite-dimensional deterministic control systems governed by smooth ordinary differential equations, this book treats Mathematical Control Theory from a geometric viewpoint. Covers controllability, state and feedback equivalence and optimal control.

The first textbook ever to cover multi-relational data mining and inductive logic programming, this book fully explores logical and relational learning. Ideal for graduate students and researchers, it also looks at statistical relational learning.

A brilliant and coherent summation of both the modern state and the trends of continuing development in various branches of number theory. Illuminated by elementary problems, the central ideas of modern theories are laid bare.

It would be inappropriate to list the names of all the friends and advisors with whom I discussed my various drafts but I should like to mention the name of Mr. Gary Cornell who, besides discussing with me numerous details of the manuscript, revised it stylistically.

Here, the author, an SAP R/3 expert and president of a consulting firm, shows readers how companies can achieve strategic goals through business process oriented implementation of software such as SAP R/3, Oracle, or Peoplesoft.

This book has its roots in a series of collaborations in the last decade at the interface between statistical physics and cosmology.

This book covers the fundamentals of convex analysis, a refinement of standard calculus with equalities and approximations replaced by inequalities. Reviews minimization algorithms, which provide immediate application to optimization and operations research.

This book presents a thorough treatment of plasma physics, beginning at an introductory level and proceeding to an extensive discussion of its applications in thermonuclear fusion research.

Useful for professionals in research and industry, as well as students and astronomers, this volume deals with the theory of reflecting telescope optics. It recounts the historical progress systematically, and includes spot-diagrams that analyse special systems. The concluding part II treats manufacture, testing, alignment, and modern techniques.

Presents a mathematical treatment of the theory of pricing and hedging of derivative securities by the principle of no arbitrage. This title consists of seven papers, which analyzes the topic in the general framework of semi-martingale theory.

This book is one of the first to provide a general overview of order and chaos in dynamical astronomy. The other two parts deal with order and chaos in galaxies and with other applications in dynamical astronomy, ranging from celestial mechanics to general relativity and cosmology.

This book covers not only practical aspects but also the underlying theoretical approaches. The book addresses not only students but also professionals who are interested to understand the underlying principles and methods and - possibly - to further develop them.

This encyclopedic, detailed resource covers all the steps of one-period allocation from the foundations to the most advanced developments. It includes a large number of figures and examples as well as real trading and asset management case studies.

This research monograph considers modelling and control design of electric motors, namely step motors, brushless DC motors and induction motors. The book reports new global robust adaptive designs for motors and provides new tools for control designs, with an emphasis on stepper motors.
