This concise and user-friendly atlas, updated for this new edition, is a welcome resource for clinicians and resident physicians as well as pathologists, and reflects the recent advances in imaging that have facilitated much earlier diagnosis of neoplasms.

This book explains statistical methods for finding and estimating seasonal patterns. It describes methods for a range of outcomes (including continuous, count and binomial data) and demonstrates appropriate techniques for summarizing and modeling these data.

Written from over 70 years of experience, this overview explains patent laws across Europe, the US and Japan, and teaches readers how to think from a patent examiner's perspective. Over 10 detailed case studies are presented from different computer science applications.

This book situates sequences within the broader context of geological processes so that geoscientists are equipped to extract the maximum information from the record of sequences in a given basin or region. It is essential reading for professional geologists.

Application of quantum mechanics in physics and chemistry often entails manipulation and evaluation of sums and products of coupling coefficients for the theory of angular momentum. Here is the first step-by-step exposition of a graphical method grounded in established work.

In this three-volume book, the law of corporate finance is defined in a modern way and studied from the perspective of a non-financial firm. The third volume discusses a wide range of funding and exit transactions as well as the legal aspects of takeovers.

This second volume discusses how risk, agency, and information can be managed in all contracts. In addition, the second volume contains an introduction to the legal aspects of payment obligations and the management of various forms of counterparty risk.

This volume explores the changes in speculative trading in the United States to provide an understanding of the present economic crisis. Readers will find a unified mathematical theory of speculation and new chapters that discuss neoliberalism.

This book presents the basic methods of regular perturbation theory of Hamiltonian systems in an accessible fashion. It discusses all main aspects of the basic modern theory of perturbed Hamiltonian systems, and most results include complete proofs.

This book presents fundamentals and comprehensive results regarding duality for scalar, vector and set-valued optimization problems in a general setting. One chapter is exclusively consecrated to the scalar and vector Wolfe and Mond-Weir duality schemes.

This book provides an introduction to general relativity based on the homogeneity and isotropy of the local universe. It aims to help the reader to understand the basics of cosmology and general relativity. All relevant experiments are explained and reported.

This three-volume book constitutes the first attempt to define corporate finance law as an independent field of law with its own principles and tools. The book also contains a unique theory of corporate governance with the firm as the most important principal.

Dealing with knowledge discovery and data mining in spatial and temporal data, this book seeks to present novel methods that can be employed to discover spatial structures and processes in complex data. Numerical examples and applications are used throughout.

This book combines basic backgrounds in fiber and integrated optics with detailed analysis of mathematical models for 1D, 2D and 3D photonic crystals and microstructured fibers. It describes real algorithms and codes for practical realization of the models.

This up-to-date review examines key areas of animal behaviour, including communication, cognition, conflict, cooperation, sexual selection and behavioural variation. Various tests are covered, including recent empirical examples.

This volume explains the nature of traffic breakdown and congestion through three-phase traffic theory. Readers will find a new method of highway traffic management and the background needed to research the complex system dynamics in traffic flow and transportation networks.

This account of sources of ionizing radiation and methods of radiation protection describes units of radiation protection, measurement techniques, biological effects, environmental radiation and many applications. Each chapter contains problems with solutions.

We live in a dynamic and inter-connected world, and this book is about how business leaders can harness uncertainty and make their teams and enterprises "super-flexible". Based on 25 years of field research, the focus is on actionable knowledge.

Lock-in Thermography focuses on this sensitive infrared measurement system that offers a more effective analytical capability. Though mainly covering applications in electronic materials and devices, readers will also find treatment of nondestructive evaluation.

Smart hydrogels have become crucial materials in high-tech and medicinal applications. This monograph is the first ever to offer a systematic, comprehensive description of modeling and simulation of the smart polymer hydrogels in BioMEMS.

This comprehensive and yet approachable textbook emphasizes a few fundamental principles and extracts from them a wealth of information. This approach enables the authors to unify an enormous and diverse subject which might at first appear too disjointed.

This introduction to quantum chromodynamics presents the basic concepts and calculations in a clear and didactic style accessible to those new to the field. Readers will find useful methods for obtaining numerical results, including pure gauge theory and quenched spectroscopy.

The authors of this book offer guidelines on how to improve existing applications in a company with the goal of reducing computer energy consumption. Examples on how to optimize algorithms on single node and parallel RISC architectures are discussed.

Combining proven restructuring strategies with rigorous theoretical analysis, and explaining how to set and achieve asset, staffing, sales and profit goals, this is a practical approach to solving the problems of troubled and underperforming companies.

Dermatological Diseases of the Nose and Ears gives comprehensive information about the lesions of these regions. It contains high quality original clinical pictures, which make the diagnosis easier in this important aspect of clinical dermatological practice.

This innovative monograph lays special emphasis on the deductive approach to uncertainties and on the shape of uncertainty distributions. The approach used to understand the nature of uncertainties is novel in that it is completely decoupled from measurements.

This extended and revised edition describes a compilation of spectroscopic fundamentals, methods and applications. New sections cover mesoscopic and nanoscopic solids, single electron spectroscopy and quantization in magnetic fields. Exercises and solutions illustrate key concepts in the text.
