This book presents mathematical techniques for modeling complex cases such as scarcity of data points, or unrepeatable experiments, and applies these to nuclear deterrence, political stability and even issues involving deaf and hard of hearing children.

This interdisciplinary study surveys the evolution of our changing conceptions of time, organizing coverage around the central themes of cosmology and regularity, stasis and flux, symmetry and asymmetry. Defends a dynamic, rather than a static view of time.

This book describes effective and efficient structure-preserving algorithms for second-order oscillatory differential equations by using theoretical analysis and numerical validation. Includes advances in ARKN, ERKN, Falkner-type and energy-preserving methods.

This book reviews construction safety measures in different regions of the world, and provides detailed evidence of the need for construction safety measures. Gathers and presents worldwide construction accident statistics, and costs of construction accidents.

Dynamic Provisioning for Community Services outlines a dynamic provisioning and maintenance mechanism in a running distributed system, e.g.

Presents the findings on behaviours of steel structural components in a fire, such as the catenary actions of restrained steel beams, the design methods for restrained steel columns, and the membrane actions of concrete floor slabs with steel decks. The book is of interest to architects, code officials, building designers and fire fighters.

The author worked out that a company, which achieves to align its sound strategy cascading with the company context and leadership style of its top-management team, is likely to realize more operations improvements than do companies that missed to do so.
