The intent of this book is to report on the electrical, optical, and structural properties of silver and gold films in dependence on substrate material, annealing treatment, and gas adsorption. All results are substantiated by extended experimental data, as well as numerous illustrations and tables.

The utility maximization paradigm forms the basis of many economic, psychological, cognitive and behavioral models. The second edition has been updated to include the most recent developments and a new chapter on classic and new results for infinite sets.

This monograph is devoted to nonlinear dynamics of thin plates and shells with thermosensitive excitation. However, the book emphasizes a rigorous mathematical treatment of the obtained differential equations, since it helps efficiently in further developing of various suitable numerical algorithms to solve the stated problems.

Customers expect increased efficiency and dependability of technical product of - also growing - complexity. The book may serve as a reference book as well, enhancing the knowledge of the specialists and giving a lot of theoretical background and information, especially on the dependability analysis of whole systems.

This book presents a solution for direct and inverse heat conduction problems, discussing the theoretical basis for the heat transfer process and presenting selected theoretical and numerical problems in the form of exercises with solutions.

First published in 1983, F.J. Yndurain's book on Quantum Chromodynamics has become a classic among advanced textbooks. The new fourth edition maintains the high standard of its predecessors, expanding and improving on the previous edition and presenting new material.

The book is concerned with the statistical theory for locating spatial sensors. It bridges the gap between spatial statistics and optimum design theory. After introductions to those two fields the topics of exploratory designs and designs for spatial trend and variogram estimation are treated.

From environmental management to land planning and geo-marketing, the number of application domains that may greatly benefit from using data enriched with spatio-temporal features is expanding very rapidly.

This book explores scheduling problems in advanced planning and computer systems. The text examines a range of parameters: job priority, release times, due dates, processing times, resource usage and more, focusing on such aspects as computer systems and supply chain management.

Gives a clear and thorough presentation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and strength of materials. Provides both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials on an intermediate theoretical level.

Absolute values and their completions - such as the p-adic number fields - play an important role in number theory. In valuation theory, the notion of completion must be replaced by that of "Henselization". This book develops the theory of valuations as well as of Henselizations, based on the skills of a standard graduate course in algebra.

Everything important, up-to-date and practical about turbopumps can be found in this book. The material is arranged to cover the most important topics, from basic theories to practical applications. This book can also serve as a useful textbook for students who are taking courses in the area of turbopumps and hydraulic machineries.

Ion implantation is one of the key processing steps in silicon integrated circuit technology. This book presents the physics and materials science of ion implantation and ion beam modification of materials.

Knowledge can be modeled and computed using computational mathematical methods, then lead to real world conclusions. This book examines a wide array of topics in computational analysis.

This book offers a fundamental scientific approach to tennis. It reveals the secret weapon of Roger Federer as well as presents the blueprint of a future tennis champion.

Option pricing models are now used to price virtually the full range of financial instruments and financial guarantees such as deposit insurance and collateral, and to quantify the associated risks.

This book focuses on two issues related to human figures: realtime dynamics computation and interactive motion generation.

This reference explores oceanographic and biological conditions involved in the transfer and accumulation of radionuclides in marine sediment and biota of the Northern European seas.

This monograph represents a critical survey of the outstanding capabilities of X-ray diffuse scattering for the structural characterization of mesoscopic material systems.

A simple introduction to relational database systems is given allowing anyone with no background in database theory to appreciate the further contents of this work, especially the extended relational operations and semantics of the ciset relational database model.

This wonderfully illustrated book provides in depth information about rough diamonds. It contains photographs that show the unique physical characteristics of the diamonds, and the accompanying text describes the processes that led to their formation.

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive summary of various topics in flood warning, forecasting and emergency response procedures. Based on up-to-date research, the book brings together many aspects of this interesting multidisciplinary topic.

This book gives a theoretical description of linear and nonlinear optical responses of matter with special emphasis on the microscopic and 'nonlocal' nature of resonant response. It will have a tremendous influence on modern device techniques, as it deals with frontier research in response theory.

Thinking in terms of facts and rules is perhaps one of the most common ways of approaching problem de?nition and problem solving both in everyday life and under more formal circumstances.
