Devised for a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology, this acclaimed text offers among the most concise and most critical ones of extant works.

Classical Sobolev spaces, based on Lebesgue spaces on an underlying domain with smooth boundary, are not only of considerable intrinsic interest but have for many years proved to be indispensible in the study of partial differential equations and variational problems.

The change is from the positivistic views in which atomism, nondeterminism and measurement are fundamental, to a holistic view in realism, wherein matter - electrons, galaxies, - are correlated modes of a single continuum, the universe.

Reviews contemporary issues in international monetary and financial economics in an emerging financial market using the example of Thailand. This book addresses contemporary issues in international monetary policy and finance from a welfare economics perspective, focusing on emerging market nations such as Thailand.

The Behavioral Approach for systems and control deals directly with the solution of the differential equations which represent the system. This book reviews this approach and offers new theoretic results. The programs and algorithms are MATLAB based.

This book teaches readers how to architect the way their company is experienced at every real-life touchpoint. It explains how to use physical meetings and locations to create an affinity with a given market segment as well as how to engage an audience.

This primer introduces classical general relativity with emphasis on the clarity of conceptual structure and on the basic mathematical methods to build up, systematically, application skills. End-of-chapter exercises complete the main text.

This book gives a detailed description of the handover issues in DVB-H networks, in converged DVB-H/UMTS networks and in hybrid DVB-H/DMB-T networks. The current status and the future research directions of DVB-H and DVB-H handover are also presented.

The main objective of this concise book is to derive and explain the most fundamental algorithms from a strictly broadband (signals and/or processing) viewpoint. Thanks to the approach taken here, new concepts come to light that have great potential.

Invexity and Optimization presents results on invex function and their properties in smooth and nonsmooth cases, pseudolinearity and eta-pseudolinearity that have been developed in the last several years.

This book presents fundamental principles for problem analysis and algorithm design used in bioinformatics. It includes numerous cause studies from the main fields of bioinformatics, from sequencing and mapping to pseudo-knot detection.

Linear Systems Control provides a very readable graduate text giving a good foundation for reading more rigorous texts. There are multiple examples, problems and solutions. This unique book successfully combines stochastic and deterministic methods.

This book covers the rapidly developing topics of hierarchical surfaces, roughness-induced superhydrophobicity and biomimetic surfaces. The first in its field, the book provides a comprehensive review of its subject and presents a background introduction.

This comprehensive book reviews the progress achieved over the last decade in the study relativistic ion-atom collisions. It explains the state-of-the-art in theoretical models and theoretical approaches to describe these phenomena.

This book covers the global HIV/AIDS pandemic from a multidisciplinary perspective, analyzing its economic impact, the reasons behind the political response, international laws relating to public health and methods for financing global and national responses.

This book offers a concise analysis of the evolution of monetary policy and banking institutions over the past 60 years. It examines the dynamic interactions between the Federal Reserve and banking institutions that resulted from financial market innovations.

This book presents a detailed derivation of the spectral properties of the Recursion Operators allowing one to derive all the fundamental properties of the soliton equations and to study their hierarchies.

This is the first attempt to summarise the geology of Africa by presenting it in an atlas and to synthesise the stratigraphy, tectonics, economic geology, geohazards, geosites and geoscientific education of each country and territory of the continent.

A compilation of the core aspects of procurement marketing in a way which allows an easier translation of relevant theoretical findings into every-day business. The book adopts a decision-orientated approach, starting with a situation analysis and leading through a heuristic structure to the right combination of procurement tools.

Solvent Extraction in Biotechnology deals with the reco- very and purification of primary and secondary metabolites by solvent extraction.

This monograph describes a new family of algorithms for the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in robotics, called FastSLAM.

By summing up the authors' lectures on Marketing Communications, this work introduces its users to the fundamental knowledge that is indispensable in this complex and exciting field of Marketing.

Projective duality is a very classical notion naturally arising in various areas of mathematics, such as algebraic and differential geometry, combinatorics, topology, analytical mechanics, and invariant theory, and the results in this field were until now scattered across the literature.

In some books and journals the word fuzzy is religiously avoided: fuzzy set theory is viewed as a second-hand cheap trick whose aim is nothing else but to devalue good classical theories and open up the way to lazy ignorants and newcomers.

This book explores two important aspects of the optimal control of oscillatory systems: the initiation of optimal oscillatory regimes and control possibilities for random disturbances. The main content of the book is based upon assertions of the optimal control theory and the disturbance theory.

Capital theory is a cornerstone of modern economics. Its ideas are fundamental for dynamic equilibrium theory and its concepts are applied in many branches of economics like game theory, resource and environmental economics, although this may not be recognized on a first glance.

This English version includes a comparison of regulations in the USA, Canada and Japan, US environmental legislation (both Federal and State) as well as a number of case studies, such as Recycling Hawaii, barge wastes - Mobro 4000, worker safety (OSHA), and pollution prevention - Wisconsin.

Economics as Moral Science investigates the problem of the ethical neutrality of "mainstream" economic theory within the context of the methodology of economics as a science.
