This book provides a step-by-step description of a negotiation-based, practice-oriented approach to collaborative planning at the medium-term level of master planning between two supply-chain partners, a supplier and a single customer.

This book covers various topics related to complex sports biodynamics. It dispels classical myths of a biomechanically sound serve, forehand, and backhand, and describes and explains the physical and mental abilities of a champion.

This is the first detailed review of the Paleogene avian fossil record on a worldwide scale. It is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview aimed at specialists but also useful for students of other fields of vertebrate paleontology.

This book provides for the first time comprehensive and up-to-date information about all the toxins of Vibrio cholerae. It also offers relevant and necessary background information on the basic biology of the Vibrio cholerae cell and cholera bacteriophages.

Provides the reader with an up to date insight of the current state of the art in the field of lipid bilayer research and the important insights derived for the understanding of the complex and varied behaviour of biological membranes and its function.

Provides an overview of the physical basis of noise in semiconductor devices, and a detailed treatment of numerical noise simulation in small-signal conditions. It presents innovative developments in the noise simulation of semiconductor devices operating in large-signal quasi-periodic conditions.

The adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in December 1997 was a major achievement in the endeavour to tackle the problem of global climate change at the dawn of the 21st century.

Microsystem technology (MST) integrates very small (up to a few nanometers) mechanical, electronic, optical, and other components on a substrate to construct functional devices.

Translated from the Japanese, this title is the first modern book on magnetics, a topic of increasing importance. The book provides the foundation for further development in this field, covering magnetic ions in crystals, and magnetism of spin systems, metals and dilute alloys.

Electron EM reviews the theoretical and experimental work of the last 30 years on continuous electron emission in energetic ion-atom collisions. They are interpreted in terms of Coulomb centers associated with the projectile and target nuclear fields which strongly interact with the outgoing electron.

Studying the ramifications of public pension policies in a growing economy, this text analyzes the impact of an unfunded public pension scheme on aggregate productivity growth and efficiency. It considers the political forces behind public pension legislation and discusses public pension reform.

Arrangements have emerged independently asimportant objects in various fields of mathematics such ascombinatorics, braids, configuration spaces, representationtheory, reflection groups, singularity theory, and incomputer science and physics.

In addition the test cases specified in the standard are described together with their implications on any practical front-end design. Additional explanations of the standard and especially the test cases will help to better understand the effects on any front-end system design.

Describes and interrelates the following processes: cooperative alpha processes in a cold liquid, structural relaxation in the glass near Tg, the Johari-Goldstein beta process, the Williams-Goetze process in a warm liquid, fast nonactivated cage rattling and boson peak, and ultraslow Fischer modes.

An in-depth analysis of thermoelectric theory, an overview of present day thermoelectric materials and devices, and updated information on the most studied thermoelectric materials development.

Using the continuum of interface-induced gap states (IFIGS) as a unifying theme, Moench explains the band-structure lineup at all types of semiconductor interfaces.

New efficiency theory refers to the various parametric and semi-parametric methods of estimating production and cost frontiers, which include data envelopment analysis (DEA) with its diverse applications in management science and operations research.

The developments of economic theory in the 1950s served to pinpoint important underlying assumptions in the study of market institutions.

The study of hyperbolic systems is one of the core themes of modern dynamical systems. This book plays an important role in filling a gap in the present literature on hyperbolic dynamics and is highly recommended for all PhD students interested in this field.

This softcover edition of a very popular work presents a thorough first course in analysis, leading from real numbers to such advanced topics as differential forms on manifolds, Fourier, Laplace, and Legendre transforms, elliptic functions and distributions.

Terms such as risk, disaster, indeterminacy and uncertainty are discussed in this book. Furthermore, disasters and risks are categorized and then major disasters in these categories are listed. The book clearly shows the interdependence of risk measures.

The book presents fundamental numerical methods which are most frequently applied in the electrical (electronic) engineering. Mathematical problems are solved step by step, and all methods discussed are illustrated with real-world examples of applications.

This monograph provides state-of-the-art theoretical results in a systematic treatment of convective and advective heat transfer during fluid flow in geological systems at the crustal scale.

This book studies the coexistence of inflation and unemployment in a monetary union. The focus is on how to reduce the associated loss. It further gives a description of processes in a monetary union where different targets are pursued by various institutions.

This book details RFID security and privacy systems technology. It also examines the problems currently being faced by those working in the field and introduces a comprehensive framework, including required protocols for operation.

This book examines quantitative and formal links between sustainable development issues, decision and precaution problems in the management of natural resource. It covers such areas fisheries, agriculture, biodiversity, exhaustible resource and pollution.

This unique and illustrated guide provides a comprehensive, current, and accurate A-Z encyclopaedia to clarify the meaning of surface microscopic and dermoscopic terminology. A broad range of both melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions are included.

This book reviews all major models and hypotheses concerning the mechanisms supposed to underlie the process of navigation in vertebrates. It covers data on all major model groups of vertebrates studied in the context of animal navigation.
