With more than 1.3bn people in developing countries still without electricity, this book shows how creative 'off-grid' solutions such as community-based generation, renewable technologies and localized financing can deliver cost-effective, reliable power.

This book offers clear, accurate data for topics ranging from Ni cermet anodes, chemical expansion in materials, and the measuring and modelling of mechanical stresses, to the broader history and present design of cells, to SOFC systems and the future of SOFC.

This book discusses synthesis, properties and uses of new materials in devices from electrodes, interface and carrier transport materials to the active layer of donors and acceptors. Covers polymers, exciton and charge dynamics, organic photovoltaics and more.

Asset Condition, Information Systems and Decision Models, is the second volume of the Engineering Asset Management Review Series.

Our rising dependency on computers leaves us increasingly open to cyber-attacks by criminals and the state. This book addresses the many interdisciplinary issues affecting the uneasy relationship between information technology and the information society.

The treatment of eye, nose, cheek, ear, jaw, and soft tissue deformities are also discussed.Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery: Post-Traumatic Deformity aims to give a framework to trainee and practising surgeons to help them manage trauma and allow them to assess and treat patients with facial deformities.

This easy to read text provides a broad introduction to the fundamental concepts of modeling and simulation (M&S) and systems engineering, highlighting how M&S is used across the entire systems engineering lifecycle.

This book explores association mapping in experimental populations and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), emphasizing methods based on modifications of Bayesian information criterion, for handling testing problems in large-scale scans for trait loci.

This edited book will address creativity and innovation among the two cultures of science and art. Disciplines within science and art include: medicine (neurology), music therapy, art therapy, physics, chemistry, engineering, music, improvisation, education and aesthetics.

Management of Heart Failure

The main aim of this book is to evaluate the concept of stress and provide tools for physicians to identify patients who might benefit from stress management.

With the increasing complexity and dynamism in today's product design and manufacturing, more optimal, robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support product design and manufacturing activities.

The Future of Design Methodology gives a holistic overview of perspectives for design methodology, addresses trends for developing a powerful methodical support for design practice and provides a starting point for future design research.

Epigenetic Aspects of Chronic Diseases assembles in comprehensive form what is known about the role of epigenetics in chronic disease development.

Case Studies in Systemic Sclerosis deals specifically with Systemic Sclerosis in a case study format.

Autoimmune Diseases: Acute and Complex Situations provides a detailed overview of conditions associated with autoimmune diseases that are considered either life-threatening or requiring complex management.

This useful text offers new insights and solutions for the development of theorems, algorithms and advanced methods for real-time applications across a range of disciplines. Its accessible style is enhanced by examples, figures and experimental analysis.

This book highlights some of the relationships between basic science and clinical medicine, and it reviews research and clinical practice methods and outcomes in vascular biology and pathobiology. It contains nearly eighty illustrations, most in color.

The proposed book is a holistic review of the clinical use of placental substances, amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord and its contents.

Modeling Biomolecular Networks in Cells shows how the interaction between the molecular components of basic living organisms can be modelled mathematically and the models used to create artificial biological entities within cells.

Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on state-of-the-art research efforts in the areas of enterprise networks and logistics, as well as their practical applications towards agile manufacturing.

For experiments, dimensional analysis enables the design, checks the validity, orders the procedure and synthesises the data.

It should be noted, however, that the new subtitle of the present volume may be somewhat misleading, since this book also treats (in Chapters 10 and 11) moire effects between repetitive layers, which are, in fact, geometric transformations of periodic layers, that are generally no longer periodic in themselves.

A state-of-the-art research monograph providing consistent treatment of supervisory control, by one of the world's leading groups in the area of Bayesian identification, control, and decision making.

Machining of Metal Matrix Composites provides the fundamentals and recent advances in the study of machining of metal matrix composites (MMCs).

This book shows how to do systems thinking and translate that thinking into praxis (theory informed practical action). Part III identifies the main factors that constrain the uptake of systems practice and makes the case for innovation in practice by means of systemic inquiry, systemic action research and systemic intervention.

Understanding the key components of the diagnosis, assessment and management of inflammatory arthritis patients is essential to improving patient care. deals with the epidemiology, pathology, clinical assessment and investigation of inflammatory arthritis patients and provides a comprehensive overview of currently available treatment options.
