This book develops a comprehensive concept for energy performance management of machine tools, which guides the transition towards energy efficient machine tools using four innovative concept modules, which are embedded into a step-by-step workflow model.

This book discusses the evaluation of surface and groundwater quality changes in the periods of water scarcity in river catchment areas. Discusses existing methods of assessment, the HydroOffice software program introduced by the authors.

This book investigates whether the operational performance of container terminals is influenced by the design of these storage systems and to what extent the performance is affected by the terminal's framework conditions, and discusses the strategies applied for container stacking and crane scheduling.

This book applies the system concept to design by developing a deeper understanding of the fundamentals, by defining design and its engineering characteristics and by applying the system concept to early stages of design, where it has the greatest impact.

This book presents methods of signal processing for adaptive antenna arrays. It examines the development of the theory of adaptive spatial signal processing for signals with uncertain parameters.

This book presents current theoretical developments in homotopy analysis. It also gives a number of examples of nonlinear problems that have been solved by means of the homotopy analysis method.

This book presents a thorough, step-by-step introduction to solar and stellar dynamos. It offers an overview of the major challenges in understanding stellar magnetic fields and their evolution in terms of various dynamo models.

Blending questionnaire surveys, interviews and observation, this book offers a thorough critical analysis of the rise of the new commercial ethic in Chinese society and in the media and communications sector at the historic turning point of the late 1980s.

This book proposes an onboard navigation system for USVs consisting of an Inertial Measurement Unit with accelerometers and rate gyros, a GPS receiver, a flux-gate compass, a roll and tilt sensor and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, plus control software.

This practical book analyzes enforcement of foreign civil judgments in Israel, serving as a guide for anyone seeking answers in the context of international commerce or to resolve international legal disputes. Offers a methodical review of difficult issues.

This book reviews the historical and theoretical roots of deliberation, showing that deliberation requires a level of competence rather than simply a right to decide. Otherwise, states the author, "debate degenerates into demagoguery and hypocrisy."

Using state-of-the-art earth system models, this atlas focuses on both historic climate system change from the year 1850 and the projection of future climate system change to the year 2100 using the RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios based on climate models.

This study of the molecular response of a variety of push-pull organic compounds offers a starting point for macroscopic-scale investigation of azobenzene-based liquid crystalline polymeric films and their blends with highly efficient NLO chromophores.

The most comprehensive study yet of the mineralogy of the Idria mercury ore deposit, this book includes almost 200 photographs and drawings of superb specimens and updates the historical record with material on new investigations into the mine's mineralogy.

Based on the economic principles and rules of the software industry, this book reveals strategies and business models including cooperation, distribution, pricing and production. Coverage includes discussion of software as a service and platform concepts.

This biography summarizes the seminal contributions to auroral and space science of Carl Stormer (1874 - 1957), the first to develop precise photographic methods to calculate heights and morphologies of diverse auroral forms during four solar cycles.

This book surveys modeling and implementation of high performance current-steering D/A-converters for digital transceivers in nanometer CMOS technology. Covers performance limitations and offers four current-steering DAC designs in standard 130 nm CMOS.

This book conveys a comprehensive view of the WTO as the provider of a framework for certainty, security and stability in international trade, and shows how regulations must be considered when designing and implementing trade strategies in the global market.

This thorough survey of the role of modern techniques in pre- and intraoperative imaging of the parathyroid glands is informed by the authors' extensive practical experience and emphasizes ultrasound as well as ultrasound-guided minimally invasive methods.

This book offers comprehensive covers in particular the physics of the upper polar atmosphere, where the polar lights demonstrate the end product of a process taking place at extremely high latitudes between the solar wind and the upper polar atmosphere.

This book covers the foundational concepts, structures and design techniques for decentralized computing with spatial and spatiotemporal information, applying these through a suite of increasingly sophisticated algorithms, and describing their application.

This book evaluates the successes, failures, and factors that influence the competition for public bus transport services.

Collating a range of perspectives on electronic structure theory, this monograph covers the principles and techniques of contemporary computational and conceptual quantum chemistry and analyzes concepts such as chemical valence and bond-multiplicity indices.

Introducing the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations approximately, this book goes on to cover important applications including diffusion and transport phenomena, solid and fluid mechanics and more.

Offering complete, annotated examples, this innovative book explores the GORITE BDI framework, developed to address the gap between what the BDI model provides and what is actually required of an agent model in order to build practical systems.

The first of its kind on the topic, this book presents a unified description of topological insulators in one, two and three dimensions based on the modified Dirac equation. Discusses topological invariants and their applications to a variety of systems.

The book offers a valuable resource for readers involved in theoretical research and practical applications from a range of different fields including game theory, operational research, management science, fuzzy mathematical programming, fuzzy mathematics, industrial engineering, business and social economics.
