Recognizing Variable Environments explores artificial intelligent systems' capacity to identify their surroundings. Readers will find a collection of interdisciplinary evidence from a computational perspective -- namely, the theory of cognitive prism.

Framed by a statistical physics perspective, this volume describes both the process of self-assembly and the impact of spatial organization on the function of membrane proteins. Using methods from equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, the text demonstrates the importance of the protein-protein interactions.

This book describes models and algorithms for complex scheduling problems. It presents key algorithms in detail and includes examples. This second revised edition includes new material, in particular, further generalizations of the RCPSP.

This book provides an original legal analysis of child soldiers recruited into armed groups or forces committing mass atrocities and/or genocide as the victims of the genocidal forcible transfer of children.

The thesis is an original and novel contribution to land use/land cover change analysis using methods of geosimulation and agent-based modeling. An Agent-Based Model was developed in order to simulate land use change in the Tehran metropolitan area, comparing the outcomes of each particular methodology.

Filling a gap in available resources, this book reviews the fundamentals of sound real estate investment decisions. Focuses primarily on the valuation of leased properties such as apartment buildings, office buildings, retail centers, and warehouse space.

This book charts the historical and current interaction between lawyers and mediation in both the common law and civil law world and analyses a number of issues relevant to lawyers' part in the process.

Introducing readers to the beauty of classical field theory as a gem of theoretical physics, this textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments, with appendices full of mathematical proofs.

This book offers broad coverage of magnetism, revealing key concepts on which many practical applications rest. Traditional subjects are discussed in the first half, and the second section includes coverage of today's technological achievements.

Here, Jonathan Scragg documents his work on Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide, a low cost, abundant material suitable for large scale use in photovoltaics. Includes rapid thermal processing studies showing relationships between composition, processing and performance.

This book offers the first numerically exact solutions of the time-dependent many-body Schroedinger equation for a bosonic Josephson junction, comparing them to approximate Gross-Pitaevskii and Bose-Hubbard theories. This opens exciting new aspects of physics.

This book describes an innovative, environmentally friendly photochemical step that converts trivial starting materials into otherwise difficult to construct fenstrane frameworks. The rigid cores of these frameworks have significant potential in drug design.

Dynamic logic (DL) recently had a highest impact on the development in several areas of modeling and algorithm design. Emerging areas include cognitive, emotional, intelligent systems, data mining, modeling of the mind, higher cognitive functions, evolution of languages and other.

This book covers all aspects of solid state lasers. It provides deep insights into theoretical analysis and calculations of lasers. It also integrates theory, calculations and practical design, technology, experimental schemes and applications.

First, with regard to the collection, it is disputed whether such information, which may comprise confidential commercial and industrial information in the EU as well as trade secrets in the US, can be protected under fundamental and constitutional property rights respectively.

This book discusses the lawsuit brought by Tate & Lyle against companies accused of infringing its patents for the artificial sweetener SPLENDA. It combines an autobiography of sugar Chemist Bert-Fraser Reid with scientific explanation and legal commentary.

This book presents a coarse-to-fine framework for learning and inference in large statistical models for natural language processing. The text shows applications of this fast, accurate approach to syntactic parsing, speech recognition and machine translation.

Treating haptics as a new medium rather than a sub-domain of robotics or virtual reality, this book covers the fundamental principles, explains the software architecture, and shows the applications of this emerging technology along with its attendant trends.

This volume assesses the difficulties involved in real-time communication via a single-input/single-output system with complex random variables. As a result, the most important aspects of a SAEC are presented, including the identification of the echo paths with adaptive filters, double-talk detection, and suppression.

Based on an analysis of 77 cases of good practice in e-government in Europe, this volume details the technical, organizational and legal aspects of using the internet to make government more user-friendly, providing insights into key strategic decisions.

Three analytical strands (constitutional theory, constitutional history, and contemporary constitutional and administrative law) run through the argument.

This book offers an introduction to mechatronic systems. It covers the analysis, design and implementation of continuous-time systems controlled by microcontrollers as well as provides the tools that engineers working in mechatronics can use.

This book combines systems theory with cybernetics to help managers evaluate and shape organizations. It enables them to diagnose the health of a company and discover is their organization is able to survive and thrive.

With accounts of 94 ice-related seafaring accidents in the Russian Arctic Sea, this book is a welcome aid to understanding these treacherous waters, covering the physical environment and navigation issues for the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas.

This book covers major approaches in high-frequency econometrics. It discusses implementation details, provides insights into properties of high-frequency data as well as institutional settings and presents applications.

As well as explaining the use of ultrasound in the process, this volume proposes a new, 'solitary wave' method of evaluating complex, microstructured materials such as alloys and composites. It includes numerical examples and analysis of the solutions.

This volume presents an introduction to thermal interactions in multiphase flow. This state-of-the-art review features a selection of the best available approaches for describing interfacial transfer processes.
