Those that are integrable provide various mathematical methods, presented by experts in this tutorial book, to find special analytic solutions to both integrable and partially integrable equations.

The main theme of this book is semiclassical methods for systems with spin, in particular methods involving trace formulae and torus quantisation and their applications in the theory of quantum chaos, e.g.

Intended for self-study, this second volume presents a systematic approach for deriving model equations of planar and spatial mechanisms. The focus is on the application of the modeling methodology to various examples of rigid-body mechanisms, simple planar ones as well as more challenging spatial problems.

Written from the viewpoint of physical chemistry, this authoritative and established text deals with the aqueous corrosion of metals. The concentration is on the underlying essentials of corrosion and failure, and the material is consistently presented in relation to practical applications to corrosion protection.

Presents fundamental theories and simulations of the spatio-temporal dynamics and quantum fluctuations in semiconductor lasers. The dynamic interplay of light and matter is theoretically described by taking into account microscopic carrier dynamics, spatially dependent light-field propagation and the influence of spontaneous emission and noise.

This is the first book to address modelling of systems that are important to the fabrication of three-dimensional microstructures. It is unique in that it focuses on high aspect ratio microtechnology, ranging from ion beam micromachining to x-ray lithography.

Profound and conceptual analysis of linkages between CSR and financial performanceOverview of recent empirical studies in CSREconometric analysis of relation between corporate social and firm performance

This book analyzes and integrates different theories and methods employed by economists and other social scientists to study the causes of economic growth to present a wide array of potential strategies for encouraging growth.

This book provides a wealth of information for mineralogists, geologists and archaeologists involved in archaeometric studies. This second edition takes an updated look at the human use of rocks and minerals from the Paleolithic through to the 18th century.

This book applies the principles of nutrition to the study of fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The acquisition of food, its digestion and absorption, and the retention and utilization of energy substrates, water and other nutrients are treated in detail.

Walk down any main street in Paris or New York and there is evidence of the counterfeit goods trade. This is the first book to fully examine the size of the counterfeit market. It describes counterfeit trade from a global and strategic business perspective.

Here is a systematic introduction into the fundamental ideas of thermodynamics at a somewhat advanced level. The book details many applications of the theory in the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science.

Offering a complete overview of all econometric software packages available worldwide, this book describes the history of econometric computation from 1950. It is based on an interactive survey of the econometricians who have developed the software.

The Great Depression of the 1930s gave birth to a branch of economics christened macroeconomics. This highly readable book presents an unconventional and timely perspective on macroeconomics - the interplay of theory and policy in a historical context.

Based on representative examples, the authors of this book describe the basics of sorption, diffusion and permeability characteristics of cuticles. They present experimental approaches, including data analysis and hints to avoid erroneous interpretations.

Offering a deeper understanding of data and methods, this book aims to rehabilitate the descriptive function of socio-economic statistics, bridging the gap between statistical theory on one hand, and econometric and mathematical models of society on the other.

Volume II

This text on relativistic ray optics covers such topics as: light propagation in linear dielectric and permeable media; ray-optical structures on arbitrary manifolds; ray-optical structures on Lorentzian manifolds; and variational principles for rays.

With contributions by numerous experts

This research monograph offers an introduction to advanced quantum field theoretical techniques for many particle systems beyond perturbation theory. Also considered is the crossover from BCS superconductivity to Bose-Einstein condensation in fermion systems with strong attractive interaction.

From the reviews: "Haus' book provides numerous insights on topics of wide importance, and contains much material not available elsewhere in book form. [...] an indispensable resource for those working in quantum optics or electronics." Optics & Photonics News

This monograph develops subjects which could be unified under the title "Stochastic Tikhonov-Levinson theory and its applications." The emphasis is on systems where the fast variables converge uniformly outside the boundary layer. Uniform expansions and large deviations are investigated in detail.

Research and development is no longer a headquarters function. The organizational alternatives for international R&D as well as the consequences that they have for decision making and performing R&D are also of great interest. Furthermore, measuring success of international R&D is a very difficult problem that is not yet fully understood.

This BriefBook is a much extended glossary or a much condensed handbook, depending on the way one looks at it. It deals with detectors in particle and nuclear physics experiments. The authors describe, in encyclopedic format, the physics, the application, and the analysis of data from these detectors.
