X-Ray Diffraction Crystallography presents the fundamental properties of X-rays, geometry analysis of crystals, X-ray scattering and diffraction in polycrystalline samples. Readers will find a number of exercises calculate specific values for typical examples.

This book develops and describes state of the art methodologies covering all aspects of full waveform tomography. It provides a variety of case studies on all scales from local to global based on a large number of examples involving real data.

This book presents a complete tour of formal advances and experimental results associated with the notion of scaling, in physics, chemistry and biology. The text offers a thorough conceptual background and a simple account of a wide range of applications.

This book analyzes two opposing currents in business thinking: the tug of war between strategic and financial considerations. It dissects their differences and develops an approach that reconciles the two conflicting schools of thought.

This book introduces new management tools essential for the success of any economic changes in the field of culture, including recommendatory services operating as a social institution of expert consumer analysis of cultural goods and services.

This overview for the interested layman reviews the attempts of scientists to find answers to the question of where life comes from. After an historical introduction, he surveys the origin of the universe, the solar system, our Earth, meteorites and comets.

Collaborative research in bioinformatics and systems biology is a key element of modern biology and health research. This book provides access to many of the methods, environments, results and resources involved. Over 350 web references are included.

This is the first coherent book on SS7 and includes detailed background knowledge about the SS7 network protocols. The book summarizes important developments in telecommunications, including SS7 over IP, with a focus on SS7 network reliability.

This book reviews the effects of pressure on the dynamics of a variety of glass-forming systems, offering a detailed discussion of the thermodynamics of these systems and their relation to chemical specificity as well as present and potential applications.

This book conducts a careful basic theoretical and econometric analysis of the factors determining the real exchange rates of Canada, the U.K., Japan, France and Germany with respect to the United States.

This book advocates a fish quota based on holistic ecosystem modeling and also a plan for sustainable management of the Baltic Sea, which accounts for production of prey and predatory fish, professional and recreational fishing, and fish cage farm production.

A monograph that deals with countable state Markov chains in both discrete time (Part I) and continuous time (Part II). [...]. It includes much of Kai Lai's fundamental work.

This book gives an account of theoretical and algorithmic developments on the integral closure of algebraic structures. Its main goal is to provide complexity estimates by tracking numerically invariants of the structures that may occur.

This practical guide empowers readers to develop their own iPhone applications, and complements the Apress iPhone development titles, for those who want to take things a step further. Videos and tutorials are available as supplementary material online.

The author has worked as an economist at the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements and as an international mediator for the Secretariat of the G10 Ministers and Governors.

This ground-breaking new book is the first of a three-volume series written by the same author that plugs a real gap in the literature. It delivers a comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the physics of solids and is thus unique in the field.

Lean Brain Management strives toward uncompromising Lean Brain Quality. Lean Brain stands for consistent economization of intelligence in all realms of life: Intelligent systems will only be operated by unskilled workers. Lean Brain can survive on just a very small amount of central intelligence.

In general, several mathematical models can be designed in order to describe a biological or medical process and there is no unique criterion which model gives the best description. This book presents several of these models and shows applications of them to different biological and medical problems.

This book analyzes the economic principles of modern corporate taxation. First of all, it analyzes not only the effects of taxation on firms' marginal choices, but also focuses on the impact of taxation on discrete choices, such as plant location, R and D investment, and new marketing programs.

This book begins with an introductory chapter summarizing the history of fluid mechanics. It then moves on to the essential mathematics and physics needed to understand and work in fluid mechanics. Analytical treatments are based on the Navier-Stokes equations.

The true steady state mean value of the heat transfer coefficient must be multiplied by a newly defined coupling factor, which is always smaller than one and depends on the coupling parameters Biot number, Fourier number as well as dimensionless geometry and oscillation parameters.

This volume is intended as a systematic introduction to gauge field theory for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in high energy physics.

This concise treatment embraces, in four parts, all the main aspects of theoretical physics. The book summarizes what a graduate student, physicist working in industry, or a physics teacher should master during his or her degree course.

This book studies interactions between monetary and wage policies in the Euro area, closely reviewing and discussing the process of policy competition and the structure of policy cooperation.

It is becoming increasingly realised that the oceans and rivers, in particular, are not unlimited reservoir into which waste can be dumped and that control of these emissions is necessary if complete destruction of the environment is to be avoided.

This book presents model-based analysis and design methods for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. Architectural and structural models are used to analyse the propagation of the fault through the process, test fault detectability and reveal redundancies that can be used to ensure fault tolerance.

This book deals with the economic aspects of changing attitudes in arts and sciences. Embodiment of ideas, and the consequences of modern reproduction technology for protection of property rights are closely examined.
