In its 2nd edition, this book covers the theory of satellite orbits, derives the complete solutions of orbital disturbances, describes the algorithms of orbits determination and the applications of the theory to the phenomenon of physical satellite formation.

Winter limnology has become an increasing active field of research. This book examines the physics of ice-covered lakes and serves as an ideal resource for students and researchers.

Digital Video Protection describes the key aspects of content protection and DRM systems, demystifying the technology and techniques. The text covers the rationale for protecting digital video content, video piracy, watermarking, and more.

Consumer credit has become a topical issue for researchers, regulators and the banking industry in Europe as a result of increasing market integration, regulatory changes and a growing tendency of households to use debt to finance consumption.

Drawing from interviews with executives, senior managers and/or auditors from renowned companies (eBay, Google, Hewlett Packard, Intel, and many others) and theory from fields of sociology and social psychology, this title provides an understanding of how tone at the top imprints on an organization and why that imprint works.

This book serves as a valuable primer to the field. It develops guidelines for the reliable and convenient selection of each of the following key aspects: evolution formalism; gauge, initial, and boundary conditions; and various numerical algorithms.

This text introduces Conformal Field Theory with an emphasis on computational techniques of relevance for String Theory. It covers many topics and eventually details the concept of orientifold constructions for the example of the bosonic string.

This presentation of the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws illustrates the essential role of continuum thermodynamics in providing motivation and direction for the development of the mathematical theory.

This book provides a comprehensive roadmap to eight fundamental principles of successful implementation of strategic outsourcing programmes, offering down-to-earth guidance on decision-making and programme management, enhanced with detailed illustrations.

This book reviews the basics of rule learning as applied to classical machine learning and modern data mining. It connects attribute-value learning with inductive logic programming, and offers complete coverage of most important elements of rule learning.

Unlike wireless communication systems, biological entities produce signals with underlying nonlinear, chaotic nature that elude classification using the standard signal processing techniques, which have been developed over the past several decades for dealing primarily with standard communication systems.

Although this method alone only rarely allows a complete diagnosis, the echo-encephalographic findings always indicate which further diagnostic measures are most suitable for establishing the diagnosis with the greatest accuracy in every case.

This book surveys the challenges of creating a robot that emulates the walking and rolling locomotion behavior of the spider Cebrennus villosus. Covers hardware constraints, and development of a special leg structure, on the way to achieving a robot prototype.

This publication details a groundbreaking radar methodology called perturbation analysis, which enables detection of targets smaller than the resolution cell that are highly embedded in clutter. It pushes forward the performance limits of current algorithms.

Beyond considering individual processes and machines, the perspective on process chains and factories as a whole holds major potentials for energy efficiency improvements.

The aviation community, in which the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO) play leading roles, is hard at work in bringing aviation into the 21st Century.

This book focuses on serving human listeners in sound field synthesis. Includes extensions to the single-layer potential approach which allow for a derivation of explicit solutions for circular, planar, and linear distributions of secondary sources.

This book covers a range of topics, spanning from detailed descriptions of political agreements that protect the marine environment, to basic modeling instructions, to a reflection on the role of climate scientists and their responsibility in society.

Here is the ideal guide to essential techniques in corneal surgery. It focuses in particular on the treatment of corneal disorders by means of different forms of corneal transplantation and use of the Excimer laser to treat refractive sight defects.

Several readers and in particular reviewers of the first edition remarked, in one way or the other, that they had questions concerning several of our OUf concepts, concepts, such as genotype, phenotype, ignorance, surprise, sUlprise, novelty, novelty, knowledge, knowledge, predictable predictable and unpredictable processes etc.

A rare book on regional convergence in the EU, this volume affords planners, policy makers and regional development institutions a set of easily applied methods based on a novel analysis that links club convergence to technology adoption differentials.

This book details recent research on semantic web services. It presents an ontology-based approach to improve service discovery.

Concise and accessible, this introduction to the mathematical tools of non-linear dynamics and complex systems theory is aimed at researchers in engineering and the life sciences who are unfamiliar with the formulae, but recognize their analytical potency.

The Quintessence of Strategic Management provides a basic understanding of strategic management. Readers will find the most important strategy tools, how they interact, and a synthesis of the respective original literature on the subject.

This authored volume presents the fundamentals of NeuroIS, which is an emerging subfield within the Information Systems discipline that makes use of neuroscience and neurophysiological tools and knowledge to better understand the development, use, and impact of information and communication technologies.

Fully updated for this new edition, this volume describes in precise detail the anatomy of the human hippocampus. Informed by the latest neurosurgical techniques, it is illustrated with new and original figures, sectional MR imagery, and MRI scans of diseases.

In the critical case, a systematical research on ground state solutions, including the existence, the nonexistence, the uniqueness and the phase separation phenomena of the limit profile has been presented, which seems to be the first contribution for BEC in the critical case.
