During the past twentieth century, plant pathology has witnessed a dramatic advancement in management of plant diseases through in-depth investigations of host parasite interactions, integration of new concepts, principles and approaches.

Traffic exists on a different "level" - it is dependent upon the existence of motor vehicles but the physics and mathematics of traffic can be adequately addressed by considering motor vehicles as mobile "blobs", with no consideration of how they become mobile.

This book explores the theory of strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups of linear operators. A special feature of the text is an unusually wide range of applications such as to ordinary and partial differential operators, to delay and Volterra equations, and to control theory.

This text in basic mathematics is ideal for high school or college students. It provides a firm foundation in basic principles of mathematics and thereby acts as a springboard into calculus, linear algebra and other more advanced topics.

Robust Bayesian analysis aims at overcoming the traditional objection to Bayesian analysis of its dependence on subjective inputs, mainly the prior and the loss.

Suitable for a one-semester course in general relativity for senior undergraduates or beginning graduate students, this text clarifies the mathematical aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity without sacrificing physical understanding.

Written by leading statisticians and probabilists, this volume consists of 104 biographical articles on eminent contributors to statistical and probabilistic ideas born prior to the 20th Century.

A historical study of the scientific work and the human struggles that accompanied it from the beginning.

Exploring Probability in School provides a new perspective into research on the teaching and learning of probability.

The technique of chlorophyll fluorescence has a relatively short history, beginning with the observations by Kautsky (Kautsky and Hirsch, 1931). The chlorophyll fluorescence technique is maturing as can be seen in the increasing numbers of publications that are devoted to its use.

Im vorliegenden Band wird Husserls 1920 erstmals gehaltene und 1924 wiederholte Vorlesung uber Ethik veroffentlicht. In ihr wendet sich Husserl nach einer systematischen Bestimmung des Begriffs der Ethik einer kritischen Darstellung der Geschichte der Ethik zu.

This edited volume gives a new and integrated introduction to item response models (predominantly used in measurement applications in psychology, education, and other social science areas) from the viewpoint of the statistical theory of generalized linear and nonlinear mixed models.

Written by leading experts in optical radar, or lidar, this book brings all the recent practices up-to-date. Its broad cross-disciplinary scope should appeal to scientists ranging from the view of optical sciences to environmental engineers. Optical remote sensing has matured to become a lead method for cross-disciplinary research.

The very first book on space systems failures written from an engineering perspective. Describes engineering aspects of the spacecraft, making this a valuable complementary reference work to conventional engineering texts.

A solid introduction to applications of Lie groups to differential equations which have proved to be useful in practice. Following an exposition of the applications, the book develops the underlying theory, with many of the topics presented in a novel way, emphasising explicit examples and computations.

Every mathematician agrees that every mathematician must know some set theory; The purpose of the book is to tell the beginning student of advanced mathematics the basic set theoretic facts of life, and to do so with the minimum of philosophical discourse and logical formalism.

This book details an approach to the problem of getting high-quality astronomical images under light-polluted conditions. The book is for amateur astronomers interested in CCD imaging, especially those who have to work under suburban conditions.

Like no other telescope ever invented, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has given us magnificent high resolution views of the gigantic cosmic collisions between galaxies.

Analyzes how catastrophe models can be used for assessing and managing risks of extreme events. This book focuses on natural disaster risk, and also discusses the management of terrorism risk. It involves three catastrophe modeling firms, AIR Worldwide, EQECAT, and Risk Management Solutions.

These guide books fit into the lab coat pocket, ideal for portability and quick reference -- a must-have for every pathologist, cytopathologist, fellow and trainee. This volume presents a simple approach to dealing with cellular samples from the urinary tract.
