Teaches the architectures, design principles, and troubleshooting techniques of a LAN, imparted via the presentation of a broad scope of data and computer communication standards, real-world inter-networking techniques, architectures, technologies and services as they relate to the design, implementation and troubleshooting of such a network.

One of the main novelties of this book is its establishment of a clear relationship between social and public choice on one hand and multiple criteria decision analysis on the other.

Over the past decade the importance of natural resources for sustainable agricultural development has been increasingly discussed at international forums and conferences. The discussion on conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA), however, has to reflect the costs of conservation as well.

A wide array of policy initiatives is discussed and evaluated, ranging from market-based energy policies to technological innovation policies for the energy sector.

As Ken Wallis (1993) has pOinted out, all macroeconomic forecasters and policy analysts use economic models. International economic agencies such as the IMF and OECD, and most treasuries and central banks in western countries, use macroeconometric models in their forecasting and policy analysis.

In order to provide a sustainable use of raw materials with short lifetime reserves, a significantly higher amount of innovation is needed compared to raw materials with long lifetime reserves.

This research monograph deals with the study of wave phenomena caused by winds in the world's oceans. It pays particular attention to developments that take into account the propagation of ocean waves at global distances and their interaction with the sea bottom, ocean currents and ice cover.

This book discusses convex analysis, the basic underlying structure of argumentation in economic theory. The text is aimed at senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and specialists of mathematical programming who are undertaking research into applied mathematics and economics.

This book describes mathematical models and numerical techniques for simulating the electrical activity in the heart. Particular focus is on efficient numerical methods for large scale simulations on both scalar and parallel computers.

The rapid growth of the subject since the first edition ten years ago has made it necessary to rewrite the greater part of the book. Chapter 5 includes the recent discoveries on photoelectron polarization produced by unpolarized radiation with unpolarized targets and on Auger-electron polarization.

A framework for financial market modeling, the benchmark approach extends beyond standard risk neutral pricing theory.

This reference book for researchers working on glacial sediments provides a complete overview of the various glacial deposits in the ocean. It presents a collection of worldwide data on glacio-marine phenomena.

Driven by the fascination about dramatic structural and competitive changes within telecommunication and information technology in dustries during the past decade, the convergence phenomenon has increasingly gained my personal attention throughout my work and studies.

By drawing on some dozen project cases, the author shows how policy changes have gradually influenced project design and implementation. Readers gain new insights into the reality behind hydropower policy changes as they have evolved over the last decade.

The amount and variety of waste that humanity dumps in landfill sites is nothing short of a scandal, believes Rafat Siddique, of Deemed University in Patiala, India.

This book presents suitable methodologies for the dynamic analysis of multibody mechanical systems with joints. It contains studies and case studies of real and imperfect joints. The book is intended for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in applied and computational mechanics.

This book plugs a gap in the market by providing an introduction to the operating principles underlying systems of modern commercial turbofan engines and bringing readers up to date with the latest technology.

Discover the many facets of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part of this book describes the current thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory. To help build your understanding, some problems have been analyzed using several formalisms to underscore their differences and their similarities.

Salivary gland pathology presents significant diagnostic challenges and problems for general pathologists. This book illustrates almost every variant of tumor entities, and incorporates new understanding of genetics in salivary gland tumors.

Stochastic discrete-event systems (SDES) capture the randomness in choices due to activity delays and the probabilities of decisions. This book delivers a comprehensive overview on modeling with a quantitative evaluation of SDES. It presents an abstract model class for SDES as a pivotal unifying result and details important model classes.

This book reconstructs and classifies, according to ideal-typical models, the different positions taken by the major contemporary legal theories as to whether and how law relates to politics.

Thank heavens for Jens Wittenburg, of the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. Anyone who's been laboring for years over equation after equation will want to give him a great big hug. It is common practice to develop equations for each system separately and to consider the labor necessary for deriving all of these as inevitable.

Taking as its subject matter one aspect of the hugely important subject of nanotechnology, this book demonstrates that the application of nanotechnology in industry can result in increased eco-efficiency and other environmental gains.

Here, two highly experienced authors present an alternative approach to optimal stopping problems. The basic ideas and techniques of the approach can be explained much simpler than the standard methods in the literature on optimal stopping problems.

In a real tour-de-force of scientific publishing, three distinguished experts here systematically deliver both the underlying theory and the practical guidance needed to effectively apply square-wave voltammetry techniques. It is the only book in modern times to deal with this, one of the most advanced electroanalytical techniques.

The book interprets nature and the environment as a scarce resource. It offers a theoretical study of the allocation problem and describes different policy approaches to the environmental problem. The sixth edition is updated data and contains additional topics.

This book offers a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the mathematical theory of Pythagorean-hodograph curves, including algorithms for their construction and examples of their practical applications.

This substantially enlarged second edition aims to lead a further stage in the computational revolution in commutative algebra. This is the first handbook/tutorial to extensively deal with SINGULAR.

Drawing on the author's forty-plus years of experience as a researcher in the interaction of charged particles with matter, this book emphasizes the theoretical description of fundamental phenomena. the statistical description of energy loss and multiple scattering and numerous more recent developments.

In this updated edition, author Nicola Jentzsch provides an in-depth analysis of the economics and regulation of financial privacy. This is the "most in-depth study of the history and economics of credit reporting to date," according to David Medine, former Associate Director of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
