This accessible book offers new approaches to electrochemical concepts, principles and applications, providing balanced coverage of the thermodynamic and kinetic processes at the heart of electrochemical systems. Includes self-assessment questions and more.

The second volume of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves is devoted to the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves.

This book covers applied cryptography in computerized telecommunication networks. The authors present key technologies, algorithms, protocols, and methods of design and analysis, rendering algorithms in readable pseudocode and simple graphics and diagrams.

This book combines ideas from financial mathematics, actuarial sciences and economic theory to give a fully consistent framework for the analysis of solvency questions.

Analyzing more than 100,000 ultrasound exams in patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease, and many thousands of ultrasound-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, this is a most reliable reference for doctors, technicians, researchers and students.

It is also part of multidisciplinary evaluation of orthopedic implant failures and provides valuable information to be integrated with the clinical data, allergological tests, radiological exams, microbiological analysis, and biomechanical assessment of the implant wear.

This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g.

This is the first book to revisit geotechnical site characterization from a probabilistic point of view and provide rational tools to probabilistically characterize geotechnical properties and underground stratigraphy using limited information obtained from a specific site.

This book is devoted to theoretical methods used in the extreme circumstances of very strong electromagnetic fields. The development of high power lasers, ultrafast processes, manipulation of electromagnetic fields and the use of very fast charged particles interacting with other charges requires an adequate theoretical description.

Generalizations that handle incomplete, faulty, orimprecise data are discussed, but the focus lies on knowledge extraction from areliable information source.The method is based on Formal Concept Analysis, a mathematical theory ofconcepts and concept hierarchies, and uses its expressive diagrams.

This book introduces the optical multi-band polarization imaging theory and the utilization of the multi-band polarimetric information for detecting the camouflage object and the optical hidden marker, and enhancing the visibility in bad weather and water.

This book presents various computationally efficient component- andsystem-level design optimization methods for advanced electrical machines anddrive systems.

This book concentrates on the subject of health monitoring technology of Liquid Rocket Engine (LRE), including its failure analysis, fault diagnosis and fault prediction. The readers can learn the system stage modeling, analyzing and testing methods of the LRE system as well as corresponding fault diagnosis and prediction methods.

This book covers research on the financing of compulsory education in rural China and provides a highly informative read for readers who are interested in the issue of financing compulsory education in poor areas.

The book collects the novel model of the disturbance driven by Levy process, the research method of M-matrix, and the adaptive control method of the SNN in the context of stability and synchronization control.

Many post-colonial varieties of English, which are mostly spoken as a second language in countries such as India, Nigeria and the Philippines, are thought to have a syllable-timed rhythm, whereas first language varieties such as British English are characterized as being stress-timed.

The first part covers the image acquisition, which is the crucial component of most automated visual inspection systems. The second part deals with the modeling and processing of image signals and pays particular regard to methods, which are relevant for automated visual inspection.

Understanding the fatigue behaviour of structural components under variable load amplitude is an essential prerequisite for safe and reliable light-weight design. For designing and dimensioning, the expected stress (load) is compared with the capacity to withstand loads (fatigue strength).

This book focuses on the stellar disk evolution and gas disk turbulence of the most numerous galaxies in the local Universe - the dwarf galaxies.

Based on extensive quantitative analysis, it outlines the character and trajectory of China's energy-related carbon emissions during the period 1995-2010, examining the distribution pattern of China's carbon emissions from regional and sectoral perspectives and revealing the driving factors of China's soaring emission increase.

Building on a comprehensive historical account of the evolution ofvalue theory, the book uses new institutional economics theory and criticalrealism as lenses through which problems in standard valuation theory andpractice are expatiated, and as the foundation for an alternative theory.

This book introduces a promising design for future Internet, the Smart Collaborative Identifier NETwork (SINET).

This book guides the reader on a rational pathway from anamnesis and clinical examination (with supporting illustrations), through radiological screening to the appropriate surgical solution.
