This book gives a general, basic understanding of the mathematical structure "nonlinearity" that lies in the depths of complex systems. It makes the meaning of "nonlinear" (and, at the same time, of "linear") precise and concrete.

With the recent declarations of intent by spacefaring nations to return to the Moon and Mars, this comprehensive book is most timely. It covers the ExoMars Rover to which both authors contributed, as well as the US Mars Exploration Rover program.

The investigation of minor solar system bodies, such as comets and asteroids, using spacecraft requires an understanding of orbital motion in strongly perturbed environments. The solutions to a wide range of complex and challenging problems in this field are reviewed in this comprehensive and authoritative work.

Practical biomechanics techniques for lower limb prosthetics are presented in this hands-on reference. The concepts behind original prosthetic designs are explained, and stem from the author's experience with biomechanics trials in NIH-supported studies.

The flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) technique has become the gold standard for treating many fractures in children. This comprehensive text on FIN covers many topics and offers a step-by-step description of the technique accompanied by illustrations.

Presents a comprehensive overview of basic theoretical approaches of the leadership research. This book discusses theoretical approaches from top leadership journals, and addresses various alternatives that are suitable to challenge mainstream leadership research.

Laser Heterodyning offers applications in various domains of applied optics and optoelectronics. This volume offers detailed explanations of the phenomena, and is a valuable resource for researches, postgraduates and students involved with applied optics.

This hands-on reference provides guidance for the precise diagnoses of physiological and pathological changes to the endometrium. The updated edition has been expanded, and includes high quality illustrations, perfect for the practicing pathologist.

Examining child abuse from a forensic perspective, this volume aims to help physicians interpret radiological findings with greater accuracy in fractures among children. Careful attention is paid to evidence on reported trauma, as well as the clinical outcome.

Describing space-charge effects in semiconductors, this text moves from basic principles to advanced application in semiconducting devices. It uses detailed analyses of the transport, Poisson, and continuity equations to show the behavior of solution curves.

This book is based on lectures given for graduate students and postgraduates starting in plasma physics. It covers all aspects of plasma spectroscopy, instruments, and techniques. Examples, techniques and methods illustrate the possibilities.

This book develops the technology of radar imaging, and an understanding of scattering concepts, in a manner suitable to the mathematical background of most earth scientists. The approach allows for quick movement to the practical aspects of imaging.

This book demonstrates that classical micro- and macroeconomics can be synthesized into a coherent whole from the perspective of formal model building as well as applied Leontief-Stone systems of national accounts and the input-output approaches built on them.

Although modern location theory is now more than 90 years old, the focus of researchers in this area has been mainly problem oriented.

Classical Methods of Statistics is a guidebook combining theory and practical methods. In the second part, two major case studies are presented which exemplify the areas of discriminant analysis and multivariate profile analysis, respectively.

This book describes microbially induced sedimentary structures as a new group in the classification of primary sedimentary structures. These are vital for understanding early Earth, and offer important biosignatures in the search for life on other planets.

Chapter 4 treats sigma martingales (important in finance theory) and gives a more comprehensive treatment of martingale representation, including both the Jacod-Yor theory and Emery's examples of martingales that actually have martingale representation (thus going beyond the standard cases of Brownian motion and the compensated Poisson process).

Here, in an updated edition with new examples, is a complete guide to valuation in life sciences. Using real-life cases, the authors show how to value projects, patents, licences, firms and stocks, including complex licence and company structures.

This updated book serves both as an introduction to profinite groups and as a reference for specialists in some areas of the theory. This revised edition contains new results, improved proofs, typographical corrections, and an enlarged bibliography.

Have you ever wondered why even large companies fail when faced with changes in their environment?

With lavish illustrations that include computer animation, this engaging presentation combines historical developments with mathematic theory to shed light on the inner workings of mechanical clocks and watches that still have the power to mesmerize us.

This book examines the fundamental missions of police and armed forces within the member states of the European Union. It outlines existing security forces to provide the reader with an overview of the situation within the EU.

This atlas will help dermatologists, primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and others to identify cancerous skin lesions correctly. It includes hundreds of high-quality color images and all of the common cutaneous malignancies are illustrated.

Presenting an overview of surgical treatment for heart valve disease, this volume discusses treatment modalities, indications, and specific situations. Topics include heart valve replacement devices and the surgical management of aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve disease.

Offering the first comprehensive treatment of this subject in book form, this volume presents the elements of a general theory for flows on three-dimensional compact boundaryless manifolds, encompassing flows with equilibria accumulated by regular orbits.

Presents a comprehensive review of the present state of the art in ZnO R+D, including growth, doping, lattice dynamics, electric magnetic and optical properties. This title places emphasis on the electric and optical properties, because this is the area where novel applications may be expected with highest promise.

As sonography has become a routine component of prenatal care, many intrinsic errors of skeletal development are diagnosed prenatally. This book is designed to assist in postnatal diagnosis of errors detected in fetal radiographic studies.
