An overview of the theory and application of linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models in the analysis of grouped data, such as longitudinal data, repeated measures, and multilevel data.

This volume is a summary of a 1S-year effort to determine the effects of prison crowding and their relationship to the broader realm of crowding phenomena and theories.

Useful for those interested in cholinergic synaptic transmission, the central and peripheral cholinergic nervous systems, neuropharmacology, cholinergic brain function, human and animal behaviors including learning, aggression and self-awareness, anticholinesterases and war gases, and the associated neurological diseases and aging.

This book examines from an archaeological perspective the social and economic changes that took place in Yucatan, Mexico beginning in the 18th century, as the region became increasingly articulated within global networks of exchange.

In this fascinating book, mathematician Ed Beltrami takes a close enough look at randomness to make it mysteriously disappear. Those familiar with quantum indeterminacy assert that order is an illusion, and that the world is fundamentally random.

The Atlas of Sectional Radiological Anatomy for PET/CT is a user-friendly guide presenting high-resolution, full-color images of anatomical detail and focuses solely on normal FDG distribution throughout the head & neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, the primary sites for cancer detection and treatment through PET/CT.

This energy source is inexhaustible and, although achieving fusion energy is difficult, the progress made in the past two decades has been remarkable.

New topics covered include: - inter-thermocline lenses and their effect on sound fields- weakly divergent bundles of rays - ocean acoustic tomography - coupled modes - sound scattering by anisotropic volume inhomogeneities with fractal spectra - Voronovich's approach to sound scattering from the rough sea surface.

It is Pure Mathematics, and it is sure to appeal to the budding pure mathematician. In this new introduction to undergraduate real analysis the author takes a different approach from past studies of the subject, by stressing the importance of pictures in mathematics and hard problems.

From the reviews:"The first volume is devoted to ergodic theory and dynamical systems. The reader will also have a touch of Sinai's personality, his taste, enthusiasm, and optimism, which are just as invaluable as his mathematical results." (Nikolai Chernov, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 e)

The purpose of this book will be to demonstrate 1) the newly developed method of using reactive functionalized materials in agriculture to solve the economic and public health problems associated with using conventional agrochemicals;

Whereas classical discrete dynamics is the study of iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or real line, arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of rational and algebraic points under repeated application of a polynomial or rational function.

While a pattern approach to diagnosis is taught and practiced with almost every other tissue or organ in the body, the lymph node remains a mystery to most residents starting out in pathology and those pathologists with limited experience in the area.

The usefulness of the book to the reader is exposure to many different classes of materials and relaxation phenomena. The readers can apply what they learn to solve their own problems and use it as a stepping-stone to make further advances in theoretical understanding of the origin of the universality.

Demonstrates how cognitive-behavioral interventions can be used to effectively address medical stressors and their attendant depression, anxiety, and quality-of-life concerns. This title offers professionals insights for synthesizing therapeutic knowledge with practical understanding of chronic disease.

This book was commissioned by The Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment). It aims to provide documentation on the history, use, disposition and environmental fate of Agent Orange and its associated dioxin.

Ptolemy's Almagest shares with Euclid's Elements the glory of being the scientific text longest in use. The cautious emancipation of the late middle ages and the revolutionary creation of the new science in the 16th century are not conceivable without reference to the Almagest.

Places the common East Asian theme in the theoretic context of product cycles, globalization and convergence and the historical perspective of the "German Miracle" after World War II. This book also looks at the Irish growth, and identifies the effective policies for sustained, rapid growth by structured comparisons among different economies.

Drawing on the pragmatist tradition of semiotic of Peirce and Morris, this book traces the development of the logical categories of language to the more primitive sign levels of natural events and signals. The concluding chapters discuss the unique features introduced by spoken natural languages.

Compared to other popular math books, there is more algebraic manipulation, and more applications of algebra in number theory and geometryPresents an exciting variety of topics to motivate beginning studentsMay be used as an introductory course or as background reading

Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition, retraces the evolution of SOI materials, devices and circuits over a period of roughly twenty years.

Familiarizes students with the tools they need to use manifolds in mathematical or scientific research - smooth structures, tangent vectors and covectors, vector bundles, immersed and embedded submanifolds, tensors, differential forms, de Rham cohomology, vector fields, flows, foliations, Lie derivatives, Lie groups, Lie algebras, and more.

Part 1 deals with single-medium transfer, specifically with intraphase transfers in single-phase flows and with intramedium transfers in two-phase flows. Part 2 deals with fluid-solid transfer processes, both in cases where the interface is small and in cases where it is large, as well as liquid-liquid transfer processes.

The physics and materials science behind paintings: the pigments, binders, canvas, and varnish that go into making a painting appear the way it does.

Often I have considered the fact that most of the difficulties which block the progress of students trying to learn analysis stem from this: that although they understand little of ordinary algebra, still they attempt this more subtle art.

This book seeks to narrow the current gap between educational research and classroom practice in the teaching of physics. It is intended for researchers in science teaching, teacher trainers and teachers of physics.

R for Business Analytics looks at some of the most common tasks performed by business analysts and helps the user navigate the wealth of information in R and its 4000 packages.

Campbell's Atlas of Oil and Gas Depletion, Second Edition, is the product of a half-century of critical analysis and updating of data on the status of oil and gas depletion by country, region and the world as a whole.
