This book provides a solid and uniform derivation of the various properties Bezier and B-spline representations have, and shows the beauty of the underlying rich mathematical structure.

The 6th edition of this classic text includes revised discussion of solar system radio astronomy, dust emission and radio supernovae, technical aspects of radio astronomy and receivers, new material on radiation from the early universe and new worked examples.

This book presents a Bayesian framework for operational risk that can be used by banks to resolve quantitative challenges with implementation of Basel II advanced measurement approach. Numerous examples help risk practitioners quantify operational risks.

The impetus for this book was the desire to systematically organize the extant literature on the conservation of cultural property made of wood, from its beginnings before the Christian Era to the year 2000.

This exercise book is written for students of physics concentrating on Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Electromagnetism. Each of its 13 chapters includes a brief but thorough summary and essential formulas, plus typical problems and detailed solutions.

This book explains the definition and dissemination of units of mass, starting with an introduction to metrology and mass determination. Coverage also includes metrological requirements for weighing instruments, weight pieces, and measuring conditions.

This introductory course on quantum mechanics is the basic lecture that precedes and completes the author's second book Advanced Quantum Mechanics. This new edition is up-to-date and has been revised.

* The formulas should be error-free (though such a goal is not achievable in full) since in the ?nancial and insurance framework one publishes sometimes in a h- tic way various untried formulas and methods that may be incorrect.

This volume of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology features contributions from recognized experts on the actions of different xanthines, focusing on caffeine and theophylline. There is a special chapter on theobromine, an active component of chocolate.

Social media represents a challenge to the traditional model of mass media, which in turn represents a challenge to traditional mass marketing. This book examines multiple facets of the new media experience through the lens of game theory concepts.

This overview introduces the study of coupled bio-thermo-mechanical and neural behavior of skin tissue in response to combined thermal and mechanical loads. Readers will find solution-based tools that focus on changes in treatment parameters, which lead to more effective therapies.

The purpose of this book is to draw together the world-wide literature on the occurrence and analytical determination of all types of organic, organometallic and inorganic compounds in soils, animals, crops, plants, grains, dairy products and processed foods. Animal feed and fertilizers are also discussed.

For the first time, here is a book that focuses on in vitro approaches to the study of the toxicology of polluting agents (including heavy metals, radionuclides, micro-organics, estrogenic compounds, and complex mixtures) in the aquatic environment.

This book covers Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging of Aleutian volcanoes. InSAR is a relatively new remote sensing tool whose images enable the construction of detailed mechanical models to enhance the study of magmatic processes.

This handbook is a reference guide for selecting and carrying out numerous methods of soil analysis. It is written in accordance with analytical standards and quality control approaches. It covers a large body of technical information including protocols, tables, formulae, spectrum models, chromatograms and additional analytical diagrams.

Vehicle dynamics and road dynamics are usually considered to be two largely independent subjects.

The book presents applications of stochastic calculus to derivative security pricing and interest rate modelling.

This book describes recent theoretical findings relevant to bilevel programming in general, and in mixed-integer bilevel programming in particular. New algorithms for solving linear and mixed-integer bilevel programming problems are presented and explained.

This book reviews the neural theory and translates them into digital models. It gives applications in image recognition, foveation, image fusion and information extraction, and includes Python scripts that help readers replicate results presented in the text.

The bipedal robot Lucy boasts breakthrough technology, using pleated pneumatic artificial muscles instead of the customary electrical drives. This book gives a complete description of Lucy's hardware, electronics and software and reports latest developments.

This book applies the principles of lean management to innovation management. It addresses the key challenges facing leaders of knowledge organizations and presents a number of principles which they can use to bring more leadership into innovation work.

Der 3-b ndige Grundkurs f r Studienanf nger verbindet die mathematische Analysis (Soul) mit numerischer Berechnung (Body) und einer F lle von Anwendungen. Die Autoren haben die Inhalte im Unterricht erprobt. Band 1 behandelt die Grundlagen der Analysis.

This survey of modern logistics, updated in a second edition, includes proven strategies and tools for solving numerous logistical problems, with algorithms and formulae for the computer-based planning of logistic systems as well as their dynamic scheduling.

Combinatorial algebraic topology is a fascinating and dynamic field at the crossroads of algebraic topology and discrete mathematics. This volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject in book form.

This work, written by a leading Italian expert, illustrates how the Analysis of Controlled Deformation in Rocks and Soils (ADECO-RS) is used in the design and the construction of tunnels. This is a very new and effective way of tunnel construction.

This new edition strives yet again to provide readers with a working knowledge of chaos theory and dynamical systems. It does so through parallel introductory explanations in the book and interaction with carefully-selected programs supplied on the accompanying disk.

What are the secrets of competitive R&D on a global scale? Based on research with hundreds of R&D executives from more than 80 companies and 1000 R&D laboratories, this work presents fresh concepts and trends in global R&D management. It also includes case studies from 22 best-practice companies that show how to put these concepts into practice.

Furthermore, certain "steady" flows are inherently unsteady in the presence of flow separation, as for example the unsteady flow caused by the Karman vortex shedding downstream of a cylin der and "static" airfoil stall which is an inherently unsteady flow phenomenon.
