This book describes modern advances in radiative transfer and light scattering. Coverage includes fast radiative transfer techniques, use of polarization in remote sensing and recent developments in remote sensing of snow properties from space observations.

This comprehensive book portrays the freshwater ostracods providing details of their taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny and zoogeography, listing and discussing every taxonomic unit. It provides an invaluable source of information.

This book applies sophisticated machine learning techniques to a large body of email data. It presents techniques that can positively impact work-related email communication and offers robust models that may be applied to future machine learning tasks.

Authors Moya-Anegon and Vargas-Queseda create science maps, so-called "scientograms", based on the interactions between authors and their papers through citations and co-citations, using approaches such as domain analysis, social networks, cluster analysis and pathfinder networks.

Suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles or ferrofluids can be effectively controlled by magnetic fields, which opens up a fascinating field for basic research into fluid dynamics as well as a host of applications in engineering and medicine.

With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in many countries. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial governments.

Pro Oracle SQL unlocks the power of SQL in the Oracle Database-one of the most potent SQL implementations on the market today.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent human tumors. This volume provides an updated and comprehensive description of the most relevant features of colorectal cancer - from molecular biology to prevention, from hereditary syndromes to new treatment modalities.

A must for experts in industry, this book describes the application of vibrational (FTIR, UV, Raman) and mass spectrometries and other instrumental techniques for identification and structure elucidation of plastics additives. Numerous tables and figures compress the state of the art.

As there is no word for fatigue in the German language, the definition "extreme, unusual tiredness" (in German: extreme, unubliche Mudigkeit), is used to explain the term "fatigue:' This clarification is needed to ensure that future fatigue research conducted in German-speaking countries can be com pared with such research carried out elsewhere.

This book offers a new approach to musical creativity, dealing with software and the semiotics and mathematical principles of creativity. The text is supported with musical score examples, and the authors' sound and video examples are freely available online.

Like its predecessors, this edition of The New Cosmos will provide new insight and enjoyment not only to students and researchers in the fields of astronomy, physics and earth sciences, but also to a wide range of interested amateurs.

The monograph offers a view on Rough Mereology, a tool for reasoning under uncertainty, which goes back to Mereology, formulated in terms of parts by Lesniewski, and borrows from Fuzzy Set Theory and Rough Set Theory ideas of the containment to a degree.

This book presents a new approach to the study of global environmental changes that have unfavorable implications for people and other living systems. The book aims to develop a universal information technology to estimate the state of environmental subsystems functioning under various climatic and anthropogenic conditions.

This book provides a unique account of the history of integrated circuit, the microelectronics industry and the people involved in the development of transistor and integrated circuit. This is a personal recollection providing the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes account of the history of the integrated circuit.

Making a clear distinction is made between nano- and micro-mechanical testing for physical reasons, this monograph describes the basics and applications of the supermicroscopies AFM and SNOM, and of the nanomechanical testing on rough and technical natural surfaces in the submicron range down to a lateral resolution of a few nm.

Dendrochronologists have long estimated the impact of climate on tree-ring growth by empirical-statistical methods. The use of the model is illustrated with examples from widely differing environments, and possible future directions for model development and application are discussed.

Beginning with resource use and food procurement behaviour, the text examines major subsistence modes, the circumstances and dynamics of large-scale subsistence change, the effect of social differentiation on resource use and the effects of subsistence behaviour on population development and regulation.

This is the first book to view problems of electromechanics through the lens of analytical mechanics. It offers fundamental results in the theory of non-linear electromechanical systems and includes examples of industrial applications.

The editors present a state-of-the-art overview on the Physics of Space Weather and its effects on technological and biological systems on the ground and in space.

This book provides the first introduction to the multidisciplinary field of turbulent transport in complex systems. There is emphasis on the scaling approach as opposed to techniques based on the quantitative analysis of underlying transport equations.
