Studies of vibro-impact dynamics falls into three main categories: modeling, mapping and applications. This text covers the latest in those studies plus selected deterministic and stochastic applications. It includes a bibliography exceeding 1,100 references.

This book covers new research on LiNbO3 including current studies on intrinsic and extrinsic point defects and the contribution of intrinsic defects to photoinduced charge transport. Applications of this material are also discussed.

This monograph offers wide coverage of automotive engine control and estimation problems and its solutions. It addresses such topics as idle speed control, engine torque and friction estimation, engine misfire and CAM profile switching diagnostics.

This book presents an alternative approach to law, which can liberate practice of law from the grip of theorists. It questions the use of philosophy and theory of law in legal practice and acknowledges the frequent need for profoundly difficult judgments.

Important applications of the modulation techniques for studying physical phenomena in solids and liquids are considered in depth (equilibrium point defects, phase transitions, superconductors, liquid crystals, biological materials, relaxation phenomena in specific heat, etc).

This book presents a consistent formulation for the handling of noncovariant gauges in the quantization and renormalization of gauge theories. It serves as an ideal introduction to postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers in the field.

This text clearly describes all available breast cancer reconstructive surgery techniques that have been revised over the past decade by surgeons in a very high-volume unit. It includes 400 high-quality color photographs and drawings.

This book provides a European reading of current trends in maritime safety law and policies, on the basis of a comparison between a selective number of instruments adopted by the EU and the US.

Verwaltungsrecht soll dem Einzelnen Schutz gew hren und der Verwaltung zur effizienten Erf llung ihrer Aufgaben rechtlich den Weg ordnen. Vielf ltige Ver nderungen sorgen f r neue Herausforderungen: Was kann die Gesetzesgebundenheit der Verwaltung leisten?

This concise text introduces techniques from quantum mechanics, especially scattering theory, to compute the effects of an external background on a quantum field in general, and on the properties of the quantum vacuum in particular.

Consistent use of costs of crime estimates helps public policy to stay in line with public preferences, and eliminates clearly unjustified projects. This book presents the history of the cost of crime estimates, methodologies used, and possible applications.

The book presents all major subjects in international monetary theory, foreign exchange markets, international financial management and investment analysis. It is relevant to real world problems. Various exercises and internet links provide extra help.

This well-structured atlas offers practical advice for the recognition and management of each Herpetic Eye problem. It is based on nearly four decades of practical and scientific work and experience with follow-ups in thousands of herpes patients.

This cutting edge book analyzes the effect of aerosols on the Earth's climate and introduces for the first time satellite aerosol remote sensing over land. The book is written by specialists working at the forefront of research in this important area.

Opening with a survey of contemporary global ecodynamics, including its basic components, this book goes on to discuss greenhouse effect problems in the context of global carbon cycle dynamics.

This book focuses on the analysis and design of low-density parity-check (LDPC)-coded modulations. These are becoming part of several current and future communication systems, such as high-throughput terrestrial and satellite wireless networks.

This text covers traditional topics in the field of solid state physics theory as well as all the latest developments. This new edition offers a chapter on the interaction of light and matter plus problems and solutions at the end of each chapter.

This text detailing strategies for effective corporate governance offers a unified rather than fragmented treatment of corporate, IT, and enterprise governance. It also argues for an employee-centered perspective on strategy, rather than a top down approach.

This treatment of Solid State Physics offers modern coverage of the theory and related experiments. Integrated throughout are developments from the newest semiconductor devices. The book is structured to accommodate a two-semester course.

The book contains a completely new presentation of classical results in the field of Lambda Calculus, together with new results. The text is unique in that it presents a new calculus (Parametric Lambda Calculus) which can be instantiated to obtain already known lambda-calculi.

Based on the authors' accumulated experience of more than 50 years and 860 cases operated for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated volume covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma.

This book provides an introduction to Bohmian mechanics and to the mathematical abstractions of quantum mechanics, which range from the self-adjointness of the Schroedinger operator to scattering theory. It is an ideal starting point for those new to the field.

This book shows in three parts the technology, the fundamentals and the simulation models for the integral foam molding of light metals. It makes accessible the numerical simulation of foam evolution starting from nucleation until decay.
