Contains unique recent developments of various finite elements such as nonconforming, mixed, discontinuous, characteristic, and adaptive finite elements, along with their applications.

Sand control issues in wells can result from improper completion or changes in reservoir properties. Covering all aspects of the topic, this volume shows how methods such as reducing drag forces and mechanical sand bridging can reduce the problems that arise.

With numerous illustrations, this volume guides readers through both the components and the overall process of Innovators' Marketplace, a game-based business innovation learning tool that allows players to both invent and evaluate commercial ideas.

The book concerns the notion of association in probability and statistics. The goal of this book is to bring together the bulk of these results, presenting the theory in a unified way, explaining relations and implications of the results.

This thesis by an award-winning researcher summarizes the potential to use passive seismic methods to monitor the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in geologic reservoirs. In doing so it synthesizes innovative research in both seismology and geomechanics.

The unexpected patterns on a bird's body are often seen as bizarre events that demand little attention. This book presents findings in molecular biology related to avian structure and function. After reading this, you'll never see birds the same way again.

This book provides state-of-the-art knowledge in continuum concepts and associated fluid dynamics. It supplies the means to design mathematical models of these flows that adequately express the engineering physics involved.

This book presents the state of the art of cognitive information systems. It details the fundamentals of cognitive informatics, guiding readers on an interesting journey through the intricacies of information and cognitive science.

This book introduces the capability map, a novel general representation of the kinematic capabilities of a robot arm. The coverage includes examples from several distinct application domains, including a bi-manual interface for tele-operation and more.

Undertaken with the aim of providing a better understanding of the multiphase fluid flow characteristics of fluid-rock systems during the geo-sequestration process, the research detailed in this volume addresses issues not previously covered in the literature.

This two-pronged research paper details a new approach to detecting and tracking extreme weather in climate models as well as applying an extreme-value statistical model to facilitate modeling assessment of possible changes in severe weather patterns.

Existing international law is capable to govern the "war on terror" also in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Contrary to the Israeli Supreme Court's view, international humanitarian law is not complemented by human rights law, but human rights law is - to some degree - complemented by international humanitarian law.

This book offers a quick-start into model-based business process engineering. It details the Horus Method, which can be used with other tools or, if necessary, be used even without tool support.

This book offers a simple, fully operational introduction to applied general equilibrium as an analytical tool in economics. Coverage includes model design, model development, computer code examples, calibration and data adjustments, practical policy examples.

Offering key insights into managing people working on scientific projects and high-tech enterprises, this practical volume addresses issues unique to these pressurized environments and will be required reading for supervisors and policy makers alike.

This comprehensive textbook on combinatorial optimization emphasizes theoretical results and algorithms with provably good performance, in contrast to heuristics. The text contains complete but concise proofs, and also provides numerous exercises and references.

This concise introduction to the core fundamentals of fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the common approximations for geophysical fluid dynamics presents in addition a comprehensive approach to large-scale ocean circulation theory.

Molecular Virology

This volume outlines how absorption spectroscopy is important to the investigation of deep-level centers introduced in semiconductors and insulators. It also explains how vibrational spectroscopy determines the atomic structure and symmetry of complexes.

In the centre are the connections between particle physics and cosmology: The standard model, some basic implications of quantum field theory and the questions of structure formation.

This comprehensive atlas is unique in being devoted to the MRI appearances of bone marrow in the axial and appendicular skeleton of adults and children. MRI appearances in the entire spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic infiltrative marrow disorders are then presented, with accompanying explanatory text.

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks illustrates stability relations in minerals with a variety of diagrams. The text discusses the most common metamorphic rock types, their nomenclature, structure and presents a graphical representation of their mineral assemblages.

This book gives a comprehensive overview on Software Product Management (SPM) for beginners as well as best practices, methodology and in-depth discussions for experienced product managers.

This book describes models and algorithms for complex scheduling problems. It presents key algorithms in detail and includes examples. This second revised edition includes new material, in particular, further generalizations of the RCPSP.

Introducing readers to the beauty of classical field theory as a gem of theoretical physics, this textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments, with appendices full of mathematical proofs.

This book covers all aspects of solid state lasers. It provides deep insights into theoretical analysis and calculations of lasers. It also integrates theory, calculations and practical design, technology, experimental schemes and applications.

This book discusses the lawsuit brought by Tate & Lyle against companies accused of infringing its patents for the artificial sweetener SPLENDA. It combines an autobiography of sugar Chemist Bert-Fraser Reid with scientific explanation and legal commentary.

This book offers an introduction to mechatronic systems. It covers the analysis, design and implementation of continuous-time systems controlled by microcontrollers as well as provides the tools that engineers working in mechatronics can use.
