This superbly illustrated book examines current use of imaging in dementia. Coverage reviews clinical background, and spans clinical techniques including structural MRI and CT, feature extraction, SPECT and PET, diagnostic algorithms and disease monitoring.

Arc-continent collision has been one of the important tectonic processes in the formation of mountain belts throughout geological time, and it continues to be so today along tectonically active plate boundaries such as those in the SW Pacific or the Caribbean.

This book integrates Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Geographic Information Science, offering a comprehensive account of theories, methods, technologies and tools for tackling spatial decision problems and showing how GIS-MCDA aids planning and management.

Deals with detectors, signal processors and related noise phenomena. This monograph treats the operational amplifier, signal averagers, waveform analyzers, correlation techniques and heterodyne detection for signal processing applications.

Highly Sensitive Optical Receivers primarily treats the circuit design of optical receivers with external photodiodes. In order to cover the topic comprehensively, detailed descriptions of receivers for optical data communication in general and, in particular, optical burst-mode receivers in deep-sub-m CMOS are presented.

This book deals with a particular class of approximation methods in the context of light scattering by small particles. Soft particles occur in ocean optics, biomedical optics, atmospheric optics and in many industrial applications. This class of approximations has been termed as eikonal or soft particle approximations.

This is a detailed introduction to the statistical analysis of geophysical time series, using numerous examples and exercises to build proficiency. The exercises lead the reader to explore the meaning of concepts such as the estimation of the linear time series (AMRA) models or spectra.

Fatigue and wear are the most damaging phenomena affecting machines since they result in some 90% of breakdowns. Detailed damage measurement and wear-fatigue tests that enable engineers to design more durable and reliable systems are developed.

This book has its origins in courses taught by the author to various und- graduate and graduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology, K- pur, India.

In that case, monetary and fiscal interaction would cause widespread oscillations in European unemployment and European inflation. Second, it examines the scenario of a supply shock in Europe, in which monetary and fiscal interactions would have no effects on European unemployment or European inflation;

Deploying state-of-the-art modeling techniques, this volume explores the full spectrum of topics related to transport in porous media, from single and multi phase flows in differing structures to experimental validation and specific technological applications.

This book bridges the gap between graduate courses in Geomechanics and those in Numerical Geotechnical Modelling, for practical usage in science and practice. Also explores the thermomechanical consistency of all presented constitutive models.

This book covers the properties and structure of positive linear maps of operator algebras into the bounded operators on Hilbert space.

Der Autor stellt eine Methode vor, die auf neuen Ansatzen der Management- und Organisationslehre basiert und die einfacher, schneller und flexibler zu handhaben ist als das klassische Projektmanagement. Mit Checklisten, Diagrammen und Handlungsempfehlungen.

This book presents and extends methods for solving different types of strong nonlinearities encountered in engineering systems. Each chapter introduces a distinct approximate method, accompanied by representative examples from various fields of engineering.

Extensively revised, expanded and updated for the new edition, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to nonlinear waves and soliton theory in the special environment of compact spaces such as closed curves and surfaces and other domain contours.

The results of this exceptional thesis on free boundary problems in singularly perturbed PDEs develop our understanding of the effects of strong competition between species. The research has a wealth of valuable applications in both physics and biology.

This volume sets out the development of the thermodynamic theory of specific intermolecular interactions for a wide spectrum of organic compounds, laying down the framework of an unconventional approach to H-bonding based on a pentacoordinate carbon atom.

Using the Solow model, the overlapping general generations model and the infinite horizons model, this book explores the sustainability and optimality of public debt under three scenarios: the closed economy, the small open economy, and a two-country setting.

This book systematically addresses the primary internal barriers to the growth of a company, and provides clear, practical guidance not only for discovering these barriers at the source, but for systematically overcoming them.

With a comprehensive discussion of the basic concepts and quantum mechanical fundamentals, this updated and extended third edition moves on to show how DMT can be used to describe processes in atomic and molecular physics with a minimum amount of formulas.

Despite the enormous diversity and complexity of financial instruments, the current taxation of hybrid financial instruments and the remuneration derived therefrom are characterized by a neat division into dividend-generating equity and interest-generating debt as well as by a coexistence of source- and residence-based taxation.

This volume develops a set of fresh decision-making protocols for consumers and suppliers alike that reflect two distinct features of congestion-prone services, namely the discrepancy between capacity and throughput, and service quality competition.

Based on his years of work experience, the author develops concise guidelines for the dimensioning of timing belt gears and presents proven examples from the fields of drivetrain, transport and linear transfer technology.

This introduction to cryptography uses a programming-oriented approach to study important current cryptographic schemes and the main cryptanalytic attacks against them. The Maple implementations include many examples with parameters of realistic size.

Entwurf und Realisierung von Automatisierungsl sungen in einem - die Autoren beschreiben die Methoden, Anforderungen und M glichkeiten rechnergest tzter Entwurfsprozesse. Mit Verfahren zur Verk rzung der Entwicklungszeiten und durchgerechneten bungsaufgaben.

Here is a comprehensive guide to the assessment and management of adults with thyroid disorders in daily clinical practice. It details all important aspects and disorders and includes numerous high-quality illustrations and concise fact boxes.

Die Autoren stellen das Thema Eisenwerkstoffe anhand der Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Werkstoffgruppen Gusseisen und Stahl dar: vom Gef ge ber die Gebrauchs- und Fertigungseigenschaften bis zur Verarbeitung. Eine Einf hrung mit vielen Fallbeispielen.

We live in a digital Media Society, in which pictures are becoming more and more important. Up to now the law is the part of the society which is most sceptical towards images. Law has still resisted the visual temptation. Modern law will become a Pictorial Law.What are the chances and the risks of Pictorial Law and visual law communication?
