This, the first volume on an emerging topic in materials science, examines in depth the physical properties and models of a new class of high-TC superconductors which belong to iron-based layered compounds, and which have similar physical characteristics.

This thesis sets out the results of both specific-heat and magnetocaloric experiments undertaken with bespoke experimental apparatus whose design specifically addresses the demanding constraints of the low-temperature, high-magnetic-field environment.

The book concentrates on the microstructural, electric and optoelectronic properties of rare-earth implanted MOS structures and their use as light emitters in potential applications.

Quantum Gravity was Bryce DeWitt's goal and remained his goal throughout his life. In this book, Cecile DeWitt-Morette skilfully blends her personal and scientific account with a wealth of her late husband's often unpublished writings on the subject.

Exploration of Gas Hydrates treats various geophysical techniques in order to quantify the gas hydrate reserves and their impact on environment. Written for non-specialists from different fields of science, this volume presents the state-of-the-art in gas hydrate exploration.

This thesis deals with delay effects in nonlinear systems, which feature in various fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and even in social and economic systems. It covers both the instabilities arising from time delay and their suppression.

Recruitment learning facilitates the acquisition of new knowledge to build and extend knowledge bases and ontologies as an artificial intelligence technique. This book provides an overview of recruitment learning approaches from a computational perspective.

This updated second edition features multi-author, comprehensive and authoritative reviews of intra-seasonal variability. It has a balance of observation, theory and modeling and is a single-source reference for those interested in this key phenomenon.

This is a book on the basics of mathematics and computation and their uses in economics. The reader is introduced to the basics of numerical analysis as well as the use of computer programs such as Matlab and Excel in carrying out involved computations.

This book is a scientific treatise on the principle of legality in criminal law. It explores the relation between the principle of legality and the general theory of criminal law and contains definite rules emphasized for practitioners as well as academia.

This book investigates uncontrolled and controlled time-continuous and time-discrete systems. It examines the question of controllability of dynamical systems into equilibrium states as well as chaotic behavior of autonomous time discrete systems.

This book presents a systematic methodology for the computer modeling of electric power systems. It features support of theoretical concepts with a complete, open-source software package that is available via the authors' webpage.

This book describes the architecture, operating principles and programming details in high level language of embedded microcontrollers. It provides many design examples of interfacing the microcontroller for students' projects and includes practical tips.

Written by an expert in the field, this book offers a clear and thorough presentation of the basic concepts of Bridge Aerodynamics. In this second edition a new chapter has been added covering the buffeting theory in a finite element format.

Addressing graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, this volume presents a new formulation of the theory of gravity. New mathematical concepts are introduced, which illustrate the deformation of geometries, the key to describing the gravitational field.

As more and more of us use automated music recommendation, this book describes how these systems work, explores some of their limitations, offers techniques for evaluating their effectiveness, and uses real-life examples to show how to build them effectively.

This book is a collection of essays written by those who have led, and continue to lead, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It reviews the history of the subject, details present-day science and technology, and looks ahead to the future.

This illustrative manual covers all currently available techniques of upper cervical spine and craniovertebral junction reconstruction. It discusses all the surgical risks and compares them with the outcome of more than 300 surgeries of this region.

This reference book on Thermal Separation Technology is very useful for product development and industrial research as well as scientific research. Above all it is a reference for a deeper understanding of the procedural context in process engineering.

Dykes are believed to be an integral part of continental rifting. This volume provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of dykes. It emphasizes the origin, evolution and emplacement of dykes.

Many organizations critically depend on very large information systems. These organizations often struggle to find the right strategy to sustainably develop their systems. This title presents a successful strategy to deal with these challenges.

The second edition of this successful textbook covers the important basic aspects of the entire field of solid state physics. It contains an extensive solutions manual and presents the rich teaching experience of two gifted professors.

Based on the proven funnel model , this book illustrates how companies can use manufacturing control to improve on-time delivery, reduce inventories and cut down throughput times. It details numerous control techniques from Kanban to CONWIP to Backlog Control.

This is a revised version of the 1984 book of the same name but considerably modified and enlarged to accommodate the developments in recursive estimation and time series analysis that have occurred over the last quarter century.

This solid volume discusses all the key topics in detail, including classification, orbit structure, representations, universal constructions, and abstract analogues. Open problems are discussed as they arise and many useful exercises are included.

Beyond that, this book integrates economical and regulatory aspects of concentration risk and seeks to provide a systematic way to get familiar with the topic of concentration risk from the basics of credit risk modeling to present research in the measurement and management of credit risk concentrations.

In this book the author investigates the impact of demographic change oneconomic growth. The author provides such anew view on economic growth, using a methodology of system dynamics. In doing so, a newsemi-endogenous growth model is developed by introducing a specific anddetailed population sector (demographic growth model).
