This book explores several aspects of inverse problems, presenting needed prerequisite topics in numerical analysis and matrix algebra. ". . . a comprehensive introduction to inverse problems." - Robert E. White, Provessor of Mathematics, NC State Univ.

This vital book on an underexplored topic offers a systematic analysis of a common issue faced by medical practitioners - disclosing alternative options. It covers orthodox and CAM medicine, and provides comparative material on differing jurisdictions.

This book presents control of time-delayed, unstable, multivariable processes and modelling approaches for several classes of complex systems. It places special emphasis on hybrid systems with distinct nonlinearities.

Redefining and extending business analysis, this pragmatic book marries the concept of 'Concept Mapping' with a 'Design Thinking' approach to business analysis, and shows how to take 'Business Concept Maps' further as information models for new IT paradigms.

This casebook is an effort to explain infrastructure markets from a unique perspective: regulation. The second chapter applies the Services of General Interest doctrine to infrastructure markets: The key issue is the separation of the public administrations and the private companies operating infrastructures.

Computer Arithmetic provides a complete procedure for linking the digital design and arithmetic algorithms domain, based on original formalism and hardware description languages. Readers will find gate-level designs for all matrix/combinatorial arithmetic structures.

This book is among the very few to be entirely dedicated to the treatment of knowledge imperfection when building intelligent systems. The authors are of the belief that an entire book should be focused on this important aspect of knowledge processing.

Observations of continuous wave trains that follow classic direct S waves, known as coda waves, have shown that there are heterogeneities of random size scattered randomly throughout the layers of the classic seismic model.

All practitioners and pharmacists interested in treatment with herbal remedies should have this book at their disposal. Methodically classified by organic systems and fields of application, the text provides a quick insight into dosage, form of application and effects of the most important herbal remedies.

It would seem that any specialist in plasma physics studying a medium in which the interaction between particles is as distance-dependent as the inter action between stars and other gravitating masses would assert that the role of collective effects in the dynamics of gravitating systems must be decisive.

Titling this book Lectures on Language Performance was not done to be cleverly "eye-catching"-the title is quite literally appropriate.

This theoretical approach can actually complement and guide the computational approach by narrow- ing down trial and error procedures, pinpointing singularities and suggesting methods for handling them.

Few fields have advanced faster over the past quinquennium than separation and estimation of steroids by the technique of gas phase chromatography.

This book examines gauge theory as a tool for describing the fundamental forces acting in the universe: gravitative, electromagnetic, weak interaction and strong interaction. The author used gauge theory to build a bridge between mathematicians and physicists.

This book deals with explosive instabilities in mechanics, deriving a solution to a system of PDEs that arise in practical situations. Among the topics presented are: classical fluid equations, catastrophic behavior in nonlinear fluid theories, blow-up in Volterra equations, and rapid energy growth in parallel flows.

High unemployment rates in the period of an internationalization of economies and an intensified technological competition are the main problems that exist in most EU countries.

This practical introduction focuses on how to build integrated solutions to industrial vision problems from individual algorithms. It gives a hands-on guide for setting up automated visual inspection systems using real-world examples and the NeuroCheck software package, included on CD-ROM.

This comprehensive analysis of buckling problems in the structural members of ships includes the key equations required and analyses the various loadings and stresses and clarifies the main causes and consequences of ship structure failure through buckling.

This title details Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and its applications. It labels neuroanatomically important structures on both DTI-derived color maps and conventional MRI. It also schematically illustrates complex fiber architecture.

Bridging the wide information gap for the clinician and researcher alike, this text contains numerous clinical photographs, statistical data, and concise descriptions of the initial mucocutaneous symptoms, to help the clinician to understand and identify the disease.

This book, addressing both researchers and graduate students, reviews equivariant localization techniques for the evaluation of Feynman path integrals. The author gives the relevant mathematical background in some detail, showing at the same time how localization ideas are related to classical integrability.

This book attempts to explore style-a traditional topic-in literary translation with a corpus-based approach. Apart from the basics of corpus building, readers may notice that literary texts offer an ideal context for stylistic research and a parallel corpus of literary texts may provide various observations to the style in translation.

This book collects the 25 most important articles written by Professor Tang since the 1980s, dealing extensively with issues of Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity and Chinese culture.

This book combines two collections of essays written by the late professor Zuoliang Wang, works that explore the affinity between literatures and peoples, with special attention given to that between Chinese literature and western literature in the 20th century, and which underscore the role of translation therein.

The index evaluates Chinese enterprises annually on their performance in CSR management and the level of information disclosure by assessing four different aspects: responsibility management, economic responsibilities, social responsibilities and environmental responsibilities.

This book takes readers into the fascinating world of natural products, featuring diverse compound classes from a number of areas: colourants, fragrances and flavourings, amino acids, pharmaceuticals, hormones, vitamins and agrochemicals.

This abundantly illustrated guide, based on work at the renowned Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, describes and depicts operative techniques for the treatment of the devastating wounds caused by pressure ulcers.
