Covering all major asset classes from equities to foreign exhange, this comprehensive introduction to the modeling of financial derivatives takes readers from Black and Scholes' lognormal modeling to today's research on 'skew' and 'smile' models.

This book is a breakthrough in the understanding of the large number of spectral lines in diamond, offering data on more than 2000 lines and bands in 70 tables, including many unpublished results. A special chapter discusses 95 donor-acceptor pair transitions.

This book shows how transiting planets may be used to infer the presence of exomoons through deviations in time and duration of planetary eclipses. It shows that habitable-zone exomoons above 0.2 Earth-masses can be detected with the Kepler space telescope.

This illustrated book serves as a field guide to gossans and leached outcops for exploration geologists and prospectors. The only modern text on the subject, it is a senior undergraduate text and is also a guide for lecture teaching.

This volume provides a philosophical "applied" account of violence, engaged with both empirical and theoretical debates in other disciplines such as cognitive science, sociology, psychiatry, anthropology, political theory, evolutionary biology, and theology.

There are broadly four strategic issues in aviation: safety; Within the area of safety, the book covers such areas as safety management systems, safety and aeromedicine, safety and meteorology, the use of airspace, unmanned aircraft systems and safety oversight audits.

Designed for ophthalmologists and particularly for refractive surgeons, this book aims to develop the necessary practical and clinical skills to make the right decisions in managing keratoconus. It further suggests a novel systematic approach to management.

Deals with the synchronization techniques for chaotic communication systems. This book presents a solution to the problem of robust chaotic synchronization by presenting fully synchronized, highly secure, chaos based DS-CDMA system. It explains the two concepts and demonstrates how they link into chaotic communication systems.

The protection of privacy is not an issue that has been emphasised during the rapid development of economic laws in China. This title provides a way forward for China to address the concerns about the protection of privacy and puts forward a legislative model for protection.

This interdisciplinary approach to analyzing manufactured tool steels in the gigacycle range provides invaluable detail on fatigue behavior. The book deploys techniques from materials science, metallurgy, chemistry, physics and mechanical engineering.

The two very different diseases examined here-the former common and contagious, the latter rare and noninfectious-have confusingly similar symptoms. The book's high-magnification images and case reports help clinicians distinguish between the two.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is increasingly applied in engineering sciences. The book examines the fundamental principles and also summarizes the research in chemical and process engineering performed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Tailored to advanced undergraduates, this textbook provides a thorough explanation of general and statistical thermodynamics. It begins with an introduction to statistical mechanics, deriving all the important formulae meticulously and explicitly, without mathematical short cuts.

The complexity of human uterine function and regulation is one of the great natural wonders, and poses a daunting challenge. This volume synthesizes previously unconnected pools of knowledge through a unified treatment of the topic.

Requiring only basic knowledge of high school mathematics and physics, this volume offers a concise introduction to the general theory of relativity. The text presents the fundamentals of special relativity, Minkowski space-time, non-Euclidean geometry, Newtonian gravity, and more.

This book covers practical issues related to the interpretation of prostatic biopsies in day-to-day practice. It examines common clinical scenarios and features high-quality color images and uses algorithms and tables to simulate the decision-making process.

This book details the use of random finite sets (RFS) and finite set statistics (FISST) in robotics. It focuses on the representation of the environment and its uncertainty, and presents pseudo-code implementations of all the RFS techniques.

This book describes a new process modelling approach for the public sector called the PICTURE method, which takes into account the specific characteristics of public administrations. It includes a step-by-step procedural model for applying the method.

This practical guide to the diplomatic negotiation strategies that convince governments and international institutions to protect animal welfare also introduces new approaches to fundraising and is aimed at both pragmatic and compassionate conservationists.

This practical guide to reliability engineering reviews the fundamentals of the practice, describes current laboratory tests and explores such practical concepts as FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis) and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis).

This book shows how to evaluate measurement results, exploring probability distributions and their properties and uncertainty calculations for independent linear inputs, non-linear inputs and correlated inputs. The text includes many numerical examples.

This book examines how to characterize complexity in engineering design with a specific regard to dependency modeling. It offers 52 complexity metrics that show different facets of how complexity takes shape in design processes.

An ideal publication for use in combination with other textbooks such as Podgorsak's, this compendium of exercises contains 500 typical problems and exercises in modern physics and radiation physics with complete solutions, detailed equations and graphs.

This book closely examines the strategic and tactical aspects of customer relationship management as it stands today. Benefiting advanced students and working executives, the book stresses economic customer value as the guiding concept for marketing decisions.

This book details the technology of pellet production on the basis of renewable sources as well as the utilization of pellets. It explains what kinds of biomass are usable in addition to wood, how to produce pellets and how to use pellets to produce energy.

This book demonstrates that the method, based on the ground polar cap magnetic observations is a reliable diagnosis of the solar wind energy coming into the magnetosphere Method for the uninterruptive monitoring of the magnetosphere state (i.e.

This book introduces a multipath routing algorithm for packet-switched telecommunication networks based on techniques observed in bee colonies. The algorithm, BeeHive, represents an important step towards intelligent networks that optimally manage resources.

This book highlights a new direction of multiobjective optimization. It introduces sophisticated methods for sequential approximate multiobjective optimization using computational intelligence along with real applications, mainly engineering problems.

This volume covers recent developments in self-normalized processes, including self-normalized large and moderate deviations, and laws of the iterated logarithms for self-normalized martingales.

The authors have developed an internationally recognized expertise in this area. The purpose of this book is to summarize years of research and to present, in an attractive format, the expertise developed by the authors on a new technology for grasping which has achieved great success both in theory and in practice.
