This book focuses on rare category analysis where the majority classes have smooth distributions and the minority classes exhibit the compactness property. It focuses on challenging cases where the support regions of the majority and minority classes overlap.

In this book, the business of international freight forwarding is examined from both a theoretical and empirical point of view with a special emphasis on multimodal transport chains, including sea or air transport operations.

This book offers a detailed, rigorous, and self-contained presentation of the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws from the basic theory to the forefront of research. It contains details and information about numerical approximation for the Cauchy problem.

Spanning physics, chemistry, proteomics, photosynthesis and spintronics, this book describes photon generation processes from nuclear reactions, electron motion and discrete quantum transitions, and shows the use of photons in modern natural and life sciences.

This wide-ranging treatment of physical hydrology in permafrost areas systematically elucidates the role of seasonally and perennially frozen ground on the distribution, storage and flow of water and is a useful book in an age of development in these areas.

This book covers practical aspects of mass measurements, describing concepts of gravitational, inertial and conventional mass and the variation of acceleration of gravity, and Metric Convention and International Prototype Kilogram and BIPM standards.

Teaching programming for engineers in a rigorous manner, this volume introduces pointer-based memory manipulation in the first chapter, and moves on from C to Matlab and Octave programming, all of which are important methods for engineers in any sector.

This work is a multidisciplinary analysis of the issue of insider dealing from the perspective of the applicability of criminal law to regulate it. Further, it analyses the foundations of criminal law and justifications that are given for its application. The second step relies on classical but often forgotten principles of criminal law.

This comprehensive book portrays the freshwater ostracods providing details of their taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny and zoogeography, listing and discussing every taxonomic unit. It provides an invaluable source of information.

With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in many countries. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial governments.

Pro Oracle SQL unlocks the power of SQL in the Oracle Database-one of the most potent SQL implementations on the market today.

This book offers a new approach to musical creativity, dealing with software and the semiotics and mathematical principles of creativity. The text is supported with musical score examples, and the authors' sound and video examples are freely available online.

This book provides a unique account of the history of integrated circuit, the microelectronics industry and the people involved in the development of transistor and integrated circuit. This is a personal recollection providing the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes account of the history of the integrated circuit.

Making a clear distinction is made between nano- and micro-mechanical testing for physical reasons, this monograph describes the basics and applications of the supermicroscopies AFM and SNOM, and of the nanomechanical testing on rough and technical natural surfaces in the submicron range down to a lateral resolution of a few nm.

The editors present a state-of-the-art overview on the Physics of Space Weather and its effects on technological and biological systems on the ground and in space.

Leadership or Chaos provides a self-contained text in political economy dealing with social choice. Theory and empirical analysis are used to examine democratic institutions in the developed world, and the success or failure of democratization in under-developed countries.

"User level: Beginning"--P. [4] of cover.

This book offers a thorough overview of modeling techniques, basic modeling methods, and modeling solutions. Part I explains basic modeling concepts based on analytical methods. Part II introduces and explains simulation methods for solving research problems.

This valuable compendium of statistical methods features a unique combination of methodology, theory, algorithms and applications. It covers recently developed approaches to handling large and complex data sets, including the Lasso and boosting methods.

Bringing together the fields of geodesy and environmental studies, this book presents the concepts of GNSS in a simplified way that can, on the one hand, be understood and utilised by environmentalists, while on the other, outlines its potential applications to environmental monitoring and management for those engaged more with its technology.

The field of optimal transport has made breathtaking forays into various other domains of mathematics. This book presents a broad overview of this area. PhD students or researchers can read the entire book without any prior knowledge of the field.

Karl Gustafson was given just two weeks to write the first US spy satellite's software. The project would fundamentally alter America's Cold War strategy, and this autobiographical account of a remarkable academic tells this fascinating inside story for the first time.

Complex-valued neural networks have higher functionality, learn faster and generalize better than their real-valued counterparts. This book on the multi-valued neuron (MVN) and MVN-based neural networks covers MVN theory, learning, and applications.
