After explaining the physics and fundamental concepts of electromagnetic conversion, this book introduces the standard mathematical models for induction machines-whichever rotor technology is used-and introduces a new parameter sensitivity reduction method.

Having been a fairly dormant specialty for many decades, in recent years there has been a remarkable increase in activity in Neuro-oncology from basic science through to the clinics. The book moves from concepts in the scientific basis of neuro-oncology, through to modelling techniques and finishing on the translation into clinical practice.

This highly illustrated text book will be an essential guide for surgeons in training, providing step by step approaches to performing Joint Aspiration/Injection, Bone Graft Harvesting and Lower Limb Amputations.

Bone research in recent years has generated much new knowledge, in large measure because of the broad public health implications of osteoporosis and related bone disorders.

The first book in inference for stochastic processes from a statistical, rather than a probabilistic, perspective. It provides a systematic exposition of theoretical results from over ten years of mathematical literature and presents, for the first time in book form, many new techniques and approaches.

From the reviews: "This attractive book provides an account of the theory of special relativity from a geometrical viewpoint, explaining the unification and insights that are given by such a treatment. [...] Can be read with profit by all who have taken a first course in relativity physics." ASLIB Book Guide

This is the first book dedicated to direct continuous-time model identification for 15 years. The CONTSID toolbox discussed in the final chapter gives an overview of developments and practical examples in which MATLAB (R) can be used for direct time-domain identification of continuous-time systems.

This book devoted to the theory of discontinuous dynamic systems requires no background in the field. It develops nonsmooth stability analysis and discontinuous control synthesis based on novel modeling of discontinuous dynamic systems.

Two major problems encountered as we approach a new century are the availability of resources for chemicals and energy, and environmental pollution. An excellent example is that of kraft lignin, a by-product of pulp and paper production, amounting to 60 million tonnes per annum and which is largely wasted by burning or landfilling.

The Encyclopedia of Systems and Control collects a broad range of short expository articles that describe the current state of the art in the central topics of control and systems engineering as well as in many of the related fields in which control is an enabling technology.

Royal College of Radiologist's Symposia, 1985

Food Freezing: Today and Tomorrow represents the contributions of the invited speakers to an advanced study seminar held by the Institute for Applied Biology of the University of York during April 1990.

No International Congress of Entomology would now be complete without a symposium on insect life-cycles. The latest Congress, held at Vancouver, BC (Canada), in July 1988, was no exception, with a symposium on the genetics, evolution, and coordination of insect life cycles organized by Bill Bradshaw and Valerie Brown.

This book presents models, tools and applications, including highly detailed case studies, to illustrate challenges in warehousing activities in global supply chains: receiving and shipping, storage allocation, assignment, layout and vehicle routing and more.

The success of MANs is mainly due to the opportunity they provide to develop new networking products capable of providing high-speed commu nications between applications at competitive prices, which nonetheless give an adequate return on the manufacturers' investments.

With contributions from distinguished international authors, the material presented here focuses upon new findings in the field of control including interesting applications. As well as being informative, it is a useful tool for practitioners of systems and control to ascertain new developments in the field.

Having edited "Journal of Materials Processing Technology" (previously entitled "Journal of Mechanical Working Technology") for close on 25 years, I have seen the many dramatic changes that have occurred in the materials processing field.

An in depth examination of many of the complex issues associated with planning and optimisation of intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment.

This book incorporates the experience of numerous experts who explore contemporary opinion of how best to rationalise and optimise the interfaces at total hip replacement to provide the most favourable and durable results.

Stephanie Harding and Karen Barker (at Springer Verlag, London) for publishing this volume and to Kwan-Yee Kenneth Wong (Cambridge) for his heroic help with com piling the proceedings and for dealing with numerous technicalities arising from large and numerous computer files.

The overall aim of this new managed research programme was to release the full potential of IT as an enabler of business process change, and to overcome the disabling effects which the build-up of legacy systems has on such change.

Compiled by an experienced practitioner in the field, this book contains definitions of the major terms used in reliability engineering and software assessment. Alternative definitions of the same term are given where relevant, enabling readers to compare and contrast, thereby giving useful insights into different aspects of the same term.

Regional Analgesia in Obstetrics provides an account of the developments in the provision of regional analgesia and anaesthesia in obstetrics over the last decade. The book covers the attitudes to obstetric analgesia in different countries; the indications for regional analgesia in labour; the effects of regional analgesia on outcome;

The application of intelligent imaging techniques to industrial vision problems is an evolving aspect of current machine vision research.

A number of important aspects of intelligent machine vision in one volume, describing the state of the art and current developments in the field, including: fundamentals of 'intelligent'image processing for machine vision systems;

Enterprise Java experts John Hunt and Chris Loftus take the reader through the core technologies that make up the Enterprise Edition of the Java 2 platform (J2EE). They cover all the aspects of J2EE that both the professional and student needs to know to build multi-tier enterprise applications in Java.

Split into two parts, part I presents a self-contained introduction to the dynamics of linear operators, while part II covers selected, largely independent topics from linear dynamics.
