Providing an introduction to the overlapping generations approach, Intertemporal Resource Economics examines the economics of renewable natural resources. Readers will find explicit solutions for intertemporal general equilibrium with renewable resources.

This overview introduces the study of coupled bio-thermo-mechanical and neural behavior of skin tissue in response to combined thermal and mechanical loads. Readers will find solution-based tools that focus on changes in treatment parameters, which lead to more effective therapies.

This book presents a comprehensive view of high performance AC drives. It provides examples of modeling, analysis and control of electric drives using MATLAB/SIMULINK as well as up-to date references in sensorless and direct torque control of electric drives.

This book details progress in use of supercritical water (SCW) to synthesize nano- and micro- oxides, inorganic salts and metal particles, and shows how polymer/biomass particles can be produced by the precipitation of solutes from SCW.

This comprehensive book analyzes the regime of navigation in historical relation to the United Nations Convention of the Law of Sea (UNCLOS) of 10 December 1982. It analyzes in detail the concept of international straits to arrive at a complete definition.

This book examines nonlinear dynamic analyses based on the existence of strongly nonlinear but simple counterparts to the linear models and tools. Discusses possible application to periodic elastic structures with non-smooth or discontinuous characteristics.

Here is an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the properties of these fascinating materials. With lots of illustrations, it details experimental results in the field, provides a critical comparison of theoretical models, and reviews recent achievements.

Provides the theoretical background needed by physicists, engineers and students to simulate nano-devices, semiconductor quantum dots and molecular devices.

This book systematically presents recent developments for laminar forced convection and forced film condensation, both from pure vapor and vapor-gas mixture for variable properties. The book will prove a useful reference to researchers and graduate students.

This book offers a comprehensive summary of experiments that are especially suited to reveal the order-parameter symmetry of unconventional superconductors.

The purpose of this book is to draw together the world-wide literature on the occurrence and analytical determination of all types of organic, organometallic and inorganic compounds in soils, animals, crops, plants, grains, dairy products and processed foods. Animal feed and fertilizers are also discussed.

For the first time, here is a book that focuses on in vitro approaches to the study of the toxicology of polluting agents (including heavy metals, radionuclides, micro-organics, estrogenic compounds, and complex mixtures) in the aquatic environment.

This book covers Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging of Aleutian volcanoes. InSAR is a relatively new remote sensing tool whose images enable the construction of detailed mechanical models to enhance the study of magmatic processes.

This handbook is a reference guide for selecting and carrying out numerous methods of soil analysis. It is written in accordance with analytical standards and quality control approaches. It covers a large body of technical information including protocols, tables, formulae, spectrum models, chromatograms and additional analytical diagrams.

Written as a self-learning guide, this book deals with the treatment of the Variational Bayes (VB) approximation in signal processing. It reviews the VB distributional approximation, showing that tractable algorithms for parametric model identification can be generated in off-line and on-line contexts.

Vehicle dynamics and road dynamics are usually considered to be two largely independent subjects.

The book presents applications of stochastic calculus to derivative security pricing and interest rate modelling.

Collaboration in highly distributed organizations of people, robots, and autonomous systems is and must be revolutionized by engineering augmentation. This book establishes the theoretical foundations and design principles of collaborative e-Work, e-Business and e-Service, their models and applications, design and implementation techniques.

This book describes recent theoretical findings relevant to bilevel programming in general, and in mixed-integer bilevel programming in particular. New algorithms for solving linear and mixed-integer bilevel programming problems are presented and explained.

In this book, Shelby Chan examines the relationship between theatre translation and identity construction against the sociocultural background that has led to the popularity of translated theatre in Hong Kong.

This book reviews the neural theory and translates them into digital models. It gives applications in image recognition, foveation, image fusion and information extraction, and includes Python scripts that help readers replicate results presented in the text.

This extensively revised and updated second edition includes the latest developments in the study of pyrometamorphism. The material covered has been derived from more than 60 new references, which are accompanied by more than 20 new illustrations.

The inorganic and organic water constituents, often called color-producing agents (CPAs), responsible for water color are generally referred to as water quality parameters.

The bipedal robot Lucy boasts breakthrough technology, using pleated pneumatic artificial muscles instead of the customary electrical drives. This book gives a complete description of Lucy's hardware, electronics and software and reports latest developments.

A new model of future manufacturing - ManuFuture - has been forged in discussion with the world's leading scientists in manufacturing and many experts from research, industry and economic policy.

This book provides a first comprehensive summary of acylation methods in a very practical manner. The coverage includes new developments not yet summarized in book form, and reviews spectroscopic methods, in particular FTIR- and NMR spectroscopy including two dimensional methods.

In probability and statistics we often have to estimate probabilities and parameters in probability distributions using a random sample. Fuzzy random variables have fuzzy distributions. A fuzzy normal random variable has the normal distribution with fuzzy number mean and variance.
