Singularity theory is a young, rapidly-growing topic with connections to algebraic geometry, complex analysis, commutative algebra, representations theory, Lie groups theory and topology, and many applications in the natural and technical sciences.

In this monograph, the density ?uctuation theory of transport coe?cients of simple and complex liquids is described together with the kinetic theory of liquids, the generic van der Waals equation of state, and the modi?ed free volume theory.

In comparison with laser Doppler velocimetry, spatial ?ltering velocimetry had not received much attention from investigators but was studied steadily by several research groups mainly in Japan and is now practically used in various ?elds of engineering.

As the deep-ultraviolet (DUV) laser technology continues to mature, an increasing number of industrial and manufacturing applications are emerging. This book describes the degradation mechanisms and long-term performance of CCDs in the DUV, along with new results of device performance at these wavelengths.

The theory of rings of quotients has its origin in the work of (j). In that case one defines the ring of fractions Q = A [S-l] as consisting of pairs (a, s) with aEA and SES, with the declaration that (a, s)=(b, t) if there exists UES such that uta = usb.

Profound understanding of how to rationally design drugs. Knowledge of innovative concepts in molecular design with translational and transformative applicability. Development of new therapeutic agents to fight cancer.

This book advocates a fish quota based on holistic ecosystem modeling and also a plan for sustainable management of the Baltic Sea, which accounts for production of prey and predatory fish, professional and recreational fishing, and fish cage farm production.

A monograph that deals with countable state Markov chains in both discrete time (Part I) and continuous time (Part II). [...]. It includes much of Kai Lai's fundamental work.

For doctors and students who wish to learn ultrasonography concisely yet comprehensively. All general aspects of diagnostic ultrasound are covered, concentrating on those disorders encountered in the daily routine of scanning, but also referring to rarer conditions which need to be considered in differential diagnosis.

This book gives an account of theoretical and algorithmic developments on the integral closure of algebraic structures. Its main goal is to provide complexity estimates by tracking numerically invariants of the structures that may occur.

Detailed report on a topic that has already attracted much popular interest. Provides fascinating reading for physicists, biologists and general readers alike.

Foundations of Voice and Speech Quality Perception starts out with the fundamental question of: "How do listeners perceive voice and speech quality and how can these processes be modeled?"

This book presents mathematical tools that can simplify studying robotic walking motions and designing energy-efficient controllers. Numerous examples and illustrations are used to make the mathematics accessible to those with engineering backgrounds.

This practical guide empowers readers to develop their own iPhone applications, and complements the Apress iPhone development titles, for those who want to take things a step further. Videos and tutorials are available as supplementary material online.

The author has worked as an economist at the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements and as an international mediator for the Secretariat of the G10 Ministers and Governors.

In this second edition, there is an enlarged chapter on decoherence, as well as additional material dealing with elements of quantum computation, entanglement of pure and mixed states as well as a chapter on quantum copying and processors. These topics are presented in a unified and didactic manner.

This book brings together the quick integral approaches and advances in the field for the prediction of stall and surge problems in the compressor. The book is useful for people involved in the flow analysis, design and testing of rotating machinery. The book can also serve as self-study material.

This ground-breaking new book is the first of a three-volume series written by the same author that plugs a real gap in the literature. It delivers a comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the physics of solids and is thus unique in the field.

This book offers concise, digestible and relevant legal advice to help ensure an outsourcing deal delivers on its promise. It also provides a checklist for companies to ensure critical factors are adequately addressed within their contract with the service provider.

This book presents a mathematical structure modeling a physical or biological system that can be in any of a number of states. Each state is characterized by a set of binary features, and differs from some other neighbor state or states by just one of those features.
