Institutions, including governments, and companies are faced with growing uncertainties in strategic decision-making that require the application of novel approaches. Here, new principles to help meet these challenges are supported by data and case studies.

Contemporary Coloproctology covers colorectal surgery, as practiced today, in an easily accessible format with emphasis on bringing key facts rapidly into focus.

This book provides quantitative analysis of the advantages and limitations of the three main modes of electricity generation-nuclear, fossil and renewable-to enable an assessment of their potential for reducing emissions and maintaining electricity supply.

This book will present completely new, unique findings in eczema: sweat ducts that become occluded with staphylococcal biofilms trigger the innate immune system with TLR2 receptor activity and this leads to production of the "itching" and inflammation in this disease.

Here is a thorough explanation of advanced methods for analyzing fixed offshore steel structures using 3D beam finite elements under random wave and earthquake loadings, presenting calculation of wave loading on structural members, and more.

It focuses on the key concepts, illustrating potentially intimidating material through diagrams and pictorial representations, and this edition includes new and expanded coverage of topics such as: reduction and simplification of material on Turing machines;

This book explores lean thinking, with case studies illustrating lean supply chains. Coverage includes mass customisation, agility, information sharing and the bullwhip effect. Also introduced is a methodology for measuring the performance of supply chains.

Many of the non-smooth, non-linear phenomena covered in this well-balanced book are of vital importance in almost any field of engineering. Contributors from all over the world ensure that no one area's slant on the subjects predominates.

Written especially for computer scientists, all necessary biology is explained. Presents new techniques on gene expression data mining, gene mapping for disease detection, and phylogenetic knowledge discovery.

Covering applied research in electrical and computer engineering and computer science, across the area of information technology, this title provides access to the main innovative activities in research across the world, and points to the results obtained by some of the most active teams in both Europe and Asia.

The book shows how the various paradigms of computational intelligence, employed either singly or in combination, can produce an effective structure for obtaining often vital information from ECG signals.

Contemporary Coloproctology covers colorectal surgery, as practiced today, in an easily accessible format with emphasis on bringing key facts rapidly into focus.

The high profile of structural health monitoring (SHM) will add urgency to this detailed treatment of intelligent SHM development and implementation via the evolutionary system, which uses a genetic algorithm to automate the development of the fuzzy system.

Often they have access to the Internet and other medical information and want to make informed choices along with their physician. Common Treatments in Preventive Dermatology will convey prevention and medication information to patients and thus help them reap the benefits of participating in their own health care and disease reduction.

This is a collection of 100 real cases of chest imaging which demonstrate the use of modern imaging techniques and illustrate the appropriate use of imaging in the investigation of pathology. Each case is presented with images and accompanying questions.

All chapters include tables on sex/gender differences in symptoms and management and a series of suggestions to the novice in the field. The focus is not on women's health, but the presentation of differences in clinical symptoms, management and outcomes in women and men.

This is the first proprietary manual for cleaning and rehabilitation through pressure-washing, hydro-blasting and ultra high pressure water jetting (UHP). It includes gear lists to help readers easily identify the appropriate tooling and equipment.

Nonlinear Powerflow Control Design presents an innovative control system design process. The text compares the value of different energy resources, presents a new tool for power flow control, and examines the human factors involved with selling power into a distributed, decentralized electric power grid.

This highly practical Guide to Geometric Algebra in Practice reviews algebraic techniques for geometrical problems in computer science and engineering, and the relationships between them. discusses the geometric algebra of lines, lower-dimensional algebras, and other alternatives to 5-dimensional CGA;

This groundbreaking book introduces and examines the technology required to implement transparent user authentication, in which credentials are captured in the user's normal interaction with a system. Covers novel behavioural biometrics techniques and more.

This book connects the theory of protection and control with practical applications of protection equipment. Covers basic theory, digital algorithms for signal filtering, plus advantages and drawbacks of fuzzy logic-based schemes, neural networks and more.

This volume offers a scientific approach to manage inter-country conflict. Readers will find that through simultaneous control of four specific aspects (democracy, dependency, allies and capacity), predicted dispute outcomes can be avoided.

Innovation in Product Design gives an overview of the research fields and achievements in the development of methods and tools for product design and innovation.

One of the most critical issues facing supply chain managers is how to deal proactively with disruptions that might affect the complicated supply networks characterizing modern enterprises. This book presents a state-of the-art perspective on this issue.

Featuring the latest research results, this volume presents some of the most important methods and tools now available for modeling and solving problems in supply chain management, which usually means designing the most efficient and productive algorithms.

Written by the pioneers of local binary patterns, and including a wealth of illustrations, this book gives those working with LBPs a single-source, comprehensive resource on the uses of LBP methodology, in both spatial and spatiotemporal domains.

This book will appeal to both graduate students and researchers with an interest in topology, the history of mathematics, the foundations of mathematics, philosophy and general science.

The use of laser therapy is vastly expanding and for this reason a medical book of this magnitude is necessary. Lasers and Light Therapy includes an up-to-date comprehensive look at lasers and light therapy not only in the field of Cutaneous Laser Surgery, but in other medical specialties as well.
