This book presents the state of the art on thermophysical and thermochemical properties, fabrication methodologies, irradiation behaviours, fuel reprocessing procedures, and aspects of waste management for oxide fuels in general and for thoria-based fuels in particular.

This book shows in detail how to apply Lean Six Sigma in the health care industry, emphasizing process improvement and operations management in hospitals. Offers case studies on emergency room throughput, linen process improvement, sepsis protocols and more.

This book offers a compendium of problems in operations research, in such areas as linear programming, integer programming, non-linear programming, network modeling, inventory theory, queue theory, tree decision, dynamic programming, Markov processes and more.

Desiccant-Assisted Cooling

In this book, rather than emphasize differences between sampled-data and continuous-time systems, the authors proceed from the premise that, with modern sampling rates as high as they are, it is more appropriate to emphasise connections and similarities.

This text covers the state of the art in multivariate algorithmics and complexity, a vital field with countless applications in modern computing. It describes the latest methods of proving parameterized tractability, including powerful lower-bound techniques.

Bardal combines a description of practical corrosion processes and problems with a theoretical explanation of the various types and forms of corrosion, with a central emphasis on the connections between practical problems and basic scientific principles.

This book is about dynamical systems that are "hybrid" in the sense that they contain both continuous and discrete state variables.

The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach.

Foams and froths are an important feature of everyday life; one only has to think of shaving foam, foam upholstery, fire fighting foam, bread, bear head, and ice cream.

The first Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) was held at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in March 2002.

Immobilized functional biomolecules, particularly enzymes, are important tools in biotechnology, biochemistry, biochemical engineering, biomedicine and biosensor research. This book provides an introduction and overview of selected major areas of the science and technology of immobilized systems.

Automation is a predominant objective in the development of modern and advanced manufacturing production. Automatic Supervision in Manufacturing (ASM) addresses unavoidable disturbances occurring during production.

The 4-quinolone antibacterial agents have been under development and in use for over 25 years, but despite an enormous body of research work there are still many basic questions that remain unanswered.

Human Health: The Contribution of Microorganisms is the first major work to concentrate on probiotics in humans. It presents both new and established data on the origins and importance of commensal floras, the history and characteristics of probiotics, the use of probiotics in clinical situations, and preclinical and volunteer studies.

A Systems Approach to AMT Development is part of the Advanced Manufacturing Series edited by Professor Pham of the University of Wales, College of Cardiff. A Systems Approach to AMT Deployment is firmly based on the author's experience of working with a variety of industries.

Pelvic pain in the female patient is common in gynaecological practice, but the specialties of general surgery, urology and orthopaedics provide a significant number of patients and problems.

The ISO languages adopt two basic models of data and therefore two different sets of commands: (a) the relational, implemented via the relational database language (RDL), and (b) the network, imple mented via the network database language (NDL).

When the Fifth International Germ Cell Tumour Conference began, the US air space was closed and our American friends were unable to join us. As a result, the differences and similarities between adult male, female and paediatric germ cell tumours became more apparent.

Foreword by Hinman, Frank, Jr.

1987 Green Paper on The European Commission's June Telecommunications included the proposal to create a European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

They cover the biology and pathophysiology, hypercalcaemia, imaging, assessment of response to treatment, types of treatment (systemic, radiotherapy, surgery), and symptomatic and supportive care.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying neural networks to dynamic systems identification (modelling), prediction and control. The neural network types considered in detail are the muhilayer perceptron (MLP), the Elman and Jordan networks and the Group-Method-of-Data-Handling (GMDH) network.

This publication presents the theory and applications of three scrambling techniques - Frame Synchronous Scrambling (FSS), Distributed Sample Scrambling (DSS) and Self Synchronous Scrambling (SSS) with an emphasis on their application in digital transmission.

Parallel Algorithms for Optimal Control of Large Scale Linear Systems is a comprehensive presentation for both linear and bilinear systems.

Model Order Reduction Techniqes focuses on model reduction problems with particular applications in electrical engineering. Particular attention is given to providing basic concepts for building expert systems for model reducution.

The only book to attempt any perspective on methods ofassessing cell proliferation is published to satisfy thegrowing interest amongst pathologists and clinicians inareas which have for more than three decades been thepreserve of experimental biologists
