Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method presents an introduction as well as recent developments of this accurate, powerful, and versatile method. The book is written in a form suitable for a graduate level textbook as well as a self-learning field tutorial.

Initially, the role of snow and ice in the global water balance is assessed and methods of snow measurements are explained. Following a review of snow melt and runoff modelling, the Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) demonstrates the merits of remote sensing in snow hydrology by using the satellite data as a direct input variable.

The most comprehensive description of the physical foundations of methods and instruments in the fields of passive remote sensing applied to investigations of the Earth, Solar system bodies and space.

This dictionary lists the general vocabulary -- nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives -- which occurs in practically all technical texts. Key-words are provided with sentences illustrating their usage and offering readers suggestions for their own formulations.

Bridging theory and practice, this book offers model based control design techniques and methods for verifying design robustness. Emphasizes sound design practices and systematic software development processes according to the generic standard IEC61508.

This book explores modern developments in Hamiltonian dynamical systems, focusing on high degree-of-freedom systems and the transitional regimes between regular and chaotic motion. Includes end-of-chapter exercises and challenging problems.

As today's highly interconnected business processes lead to an increasing complexity of software, this volume explores the dilemma from the perspective of CIOs/CTOs, software architects and auditors, showing how their divergent interests can be reconciled.

This extensively revised second edition is a wide-ranging introduction to the concepts and ideas of multisensor data fusion, illustrated with a wealth of real-life examples. It includes 30 new sections along with an extensive list of up-to-date references.

This third edition of the essential guide has been extensively revised and updated and includes additional color illustrations. It reflects the rapid expansion in knowledge of the subject due to progress in the chemical, immunological, and clinical fields.

This book presents an innovative and integrated approach to the theory and practice of corporate governance, offering a set of instruments - developed and tested by the author - that boards can use to apply effective strategic direction and control.

With endocrinologists deploying nuclear medicine on a daily basis, and with the rapid development of the latter, this concise and up-to-date guide to the vital information required has been designed to maximize relevance and ease of use in clinical practice.

This book contributes to progress in spoken dialogue systems with a new, data-driven methodology. Covers Spoken and Multimodal dialogue systems; Wizard-of-Oz data collection; User Simulation methods; Reinforcement Learning and Evaluation methodologies.

This volume refers to the formal description of mobility in computer science, using p-calculus, ambient calculus, bioambients, brane calculi, and systems of mobile membranes. Concepts are supported by examples and exercises, which makes it suitable for relevant courses.

This multidisciplinary review of signaling pathways that regulate circulatory and respiratory function focuses on those involved in cell signaling, from sensors and receptors on the cell surface to intracellular effectors that trigger molecule synthesis.

This up-to-date, clearly-written volume describes mesoscopic systems with classically chaotic dynamics using semiclassical methods which combine elements of classical dynamics and quantum interference effects.

This book explores fundamental principles for securing IT systems and illustrates them with hands-on experiments that may be carried out by the reader using accompanying software. It details different countermeasures and their implementation.

Using classic statistical tools, this book synthesizes ten years of research to establish a sohisticated theory of how to go about estimating not just scalar parameters of a proposed model, but also the underlying structure of the model itself.

This book shows how to apply theoretical mathematical models to unravel the mechanisms involved in processes found in mathematical physics and the biosciences. It is a unique collection of abstract methods that deploy nonlinear partial differential equations.

With the aid of this book, the reader will learn everything about the self-organization of behavior in robots that is known today. Many of the results are presented here for the first time. This work opens a new field of research.

This book introduces all the mathematical tools necessary for solving complex problems in the field of mechanics. It also contains various applications of mathematical and numerical methods for modeling comprehensive mechanical-technical practical problems.

The author explains and organizes the material through a systematic study of generating families, which are the limits of families of periodic orbits when the mass ratio of the two main bodies becomes vanishingly small. The most critical part is the study of bifurcations.

The classical restricted three-body problem is of fundamental importance because of its applications in astronomy and space navigation, and also as a simple model of a non-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system. This book is interested in the restricted problem and its applications to astronomy.

Since many specialists working on soil restoration lack a back ground in soil science or a knowledge of the properties of soil pollutants, we have included this information which forms the first part of the book.

In recent years, the usual optimisation techniques have been extended to incorporate more powerful topological and differential methods, and these methods have led to new results on the qualitative behaviour of general economic and political systems.

This book presents results of experimental and theoretical studies of "gas-solid particles" turbulent two-phase flows. It analyzes the characteristics of heterogeneous flows in channels (pipes), as well as those in the vicinity of the critical points of bodies subjected to flow and in the boundary layer developing on their surface.

Pro NuGet offers you a solid architectural understanding of how to manage software dependencies using NuGet, an open-source package management tool for the .NET Framework.

This text explores how intellectual developments in logic and mathematics were gradually matched by technical solutions in mechanics and electronics and how the resulting machines found application in engineering, science and business.

This book is about privacy interests in English tort law. To this end, the book draws on the work of Norbert Elias and Karl Popper, among others, and compares the English law of privacy with the highly elaborate German law.
