In this thesis, the focus is on the study of new catalytic properties of unsupported nanoporous metals in heterogeneous organic reactions under liquid-phase conditions.

This book examines density functional theory based on the foundation of quantum chemistry. Unconventional in approach, it reviews basic concepts, then describes the physical meanings of state-of-the-art exchange-correlation functionals and their corrections.

These comprehensive analyses using mitochondrial DNA-based dating suggest that carabid diversification took place about 40 to 50 million years ago as an explosive radiation of the major genera, coinciding with the collision of the Indian subcontinent and Eurasian land mass.

This book is an introduction to singularities for graduate students and researchers. It is said that algebraic geometry originated in the seventeenth century with the famous work Discours de la methode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verite dans les sciences by Descartes.

This guide combines descriptions of the anatomy and the surgical procedures related to the posterior fossa, and in addition to its many photographs and stepwise color illustrations, it sets out a range of case studies showing the various possible approaches.

Iron catalysts in organic synthesis are strongly in demand because iron is non-toxic, inexpensive and the most abundant transition metal in the earth, although their use is still limited compared with that of rare, precious metals such as palladium, ruthenium and rhodium.

The detailed and comprehensive observations presented in this book on acquired cystic disease of the kidney and renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients are drawn from the author's decades of experience.

A basic model of residential land use is proposed, in which a group of city residents is assumed to jointly own a circular area of land extending from the central business district.

This book introduces an innovative technology creation system that embraces the way nature works. Featuring discussions based on current global environmental issues, it provides many examples of Nature Technology in action.

Full of fresh insights into the potential for developing sustainable economies, this book includes a chapter on 'platinum' societies and shows how consumers' demand for quality will foster sustainable technologies in developed, and developing, countries.

This book offers detailed coverage of the vestibular system, from basic anatomy and physiology of vestibular organs, to mechanism of balance and motor function development, to clinical aspects of vestibular disorders including evaluation and pediatric neurology.

This book reviews higher dimensional Nevanlinna theory and its relationship with Diophantine approximation theory. Coverage builds up from the classical theory of meromorphic functions on the complex plane with full proofs, to the current state of research.

Offering unrivalled breadth of coverage on the topic, this review of cyclometalation reactions and organometallic intramolecular-coordination five-membered ring products includes discussion of vital commercial aspects such as synthetic applications.

Elements of Neo-Walrasian Economics

This book covers dimension theory, ANR theory (theory of retracts) and related topics, connecting with various fields in geometric and general topology. Many proofs are illustrated by figures or diagrams, making it easier to understand the underlying concepts.

Offering a detailed account of standard magnifying endoscopy able to visualize subepithelial mucosal microvessels, the smallest unit in the human body, this book includes material on narrow-band imaging and the early diagnosis of gastric neoplasias.

As CT has advanced to detect smaller lung cancers, the trend in surgery is toward lesser lobar resections. This detailed guide to segmentectomy offers hundreds of color illustrations showing the precise segmental anatomies for each pattern of the procedure.

This book develops a novel analysis method for QCD sum rules (QCDSR) by applying the maximum entropy method (MEM) to arrive at an analysis with less artificial assumptions.

This truly groundbreaking thesis integrates nuclear energy density functional theory and the algebraic, interacting boson model. Bridging a longstanding theoretical chasm in physics, it reveals the origins of the latter in nucleon degrees of freedom.

This book shows that superconducting gap structure in iron-based superconductors depends on detailed electronic structure via magnetic penetration depth measurements, and that gap structure in iron-pnictides can be interpreted in the framework of A1g symmetry.

This book offers a systematic introduction to the optimal stochastic control theory via the dynamic programming principle, which is a powerful tool to analyze control problems. First we consider completely observable control problems with finite horizons.

For the middle ear to maintain its most important function, sound con duction, its pressure always needs to be kept around atmospheric level.

This book discusses hydrodynamic lubrication in detail, based on the author's own researches. Although this subject plays an important role in mechanical engineering, few books have been published on the subject. This book was written with graduate students, researchers and designers in view.

Fish Karyotypes aims to provide readers with a survey of the literature on fish karyotypes, in order to gain a comprehensive overview of the field. The karyotypes of over 3400 species are presented, along with a checklist and detailed index.

Symmetry and Economic Invariance (second enhanced edition) explores how the symmetry and invariance of economic models can provide insights into their properties.

This book examines specific diseases such as sudden deafness, Meniere's Disease and viral diseases. Animal models of the diseases described in the book also help readers better understand inner ear diseases that normally remain obscure.

This book presents an investigation of the anomalous and topological Hall effects in some itinerant ferromagnets and helimagnets by measuring Hall effects driven by electrical or heat current.

This book discusses the impact of climate change on agriculture, the inclusion of the agriculture sectors in climate change negotiations, cost and opportunities for agricultural projects through such international climate change regimes as the Kyoto Protocol.

Offering historical information that has seldom been related beyond a narrow community of researchers, this book shows how advances in meteorology and atmospheric science have been quickened by development of advance observational technologies.
