This account of deformation theory in classical algebraic geometry over an algebraically closed field presents for the first time some results previously scattered in the literature, with proofs that are relatively little known, yet relevant to algebraic geometers.

Learn to write C++ programs by interfacing a computer to a wide range of popular and fundamental real-world technologies. Unique and original approach to use the PC to do real things- not just number crunching and graphics - but writing programs to interact with the outside world.

Believed to be a publishing first when originally brought out, this book covers all aspects of centrifugal gas cleaning devices. The optimization of cyclone performance for any given task is a sought-after goal - but it is one that is seldom achieved in practice.

For the majority of industrial companies, customizing products and services is among the most critical means to deliver true customer value and achieve superior competitive advantage. It is based on the experience gained from more than forty product configuration projects in companies providing customers with tailored products and services.

Supply chain management helped companies to manage volumes, fulfil customer demand and optimize costs in production and distribution. Value chain management takes supply chain management to the next level by integrating all volume and value decisions from sales to procurement.

In the course of fuzzy technological development, fuzzy graph theory was identified quite early on for its importance in making things work. Professors' Mordeson and Nair have made a real contribution in putting together a very com prehensive book on fuzzy graphs and fuzzy hypergraphs.

The state-of-the-art of quantum transport and quantum kinetics in semiconductors, plus the latest applications, are covered in this monograph.

This book examines the history of German immigration policy. It analyzes the country's future demand for immigration. Coverage develops an economic model for the effective selection and integration of labor migrants that could provide the foundation for a joint European immigration strategy.

This thoroughly revised 5th edition of Zeh's classic text investigates irreversible phenomena and their foundation in classical, quantum and cosmological settings.

This monograph is the first to give a comprehensive account of the theory of semiconductor cavity quantum electrodynamics for such systems in the weak-coupling and strong-coupling regimes. It presents the important concepts, together with relevant, recent experimental results.

The reason is that many commonly occurring phenomena and computer applications are highly con current : typical examples include control systems, computer networks, digital hardware, business computing, and multimedia systems.

Presenting the mathematical foundations of the theory of stationary queuing systems, the Palm theory and the Loynes theory, this extensively revised second edition adds substantial material - mainly exercises and their solutions - to a classic reference.

Readers will find here presentations of the Gauss-Markoff model, the analysis of variance, the multivariate model, the model with unknown variance and covariance components and the regression model as well as the mixed model for estimating random parameters.

From the reviews: "This is a very interesting book containing material for a comprehensive study of the cyclid homological theory of algebras, cyclic sets and S1-spaces. The book requires a knowledge of homological algebra and Lie algebra theory as well as basic technics coming from algebraic topology.

From the reviews: "The account is quite detailed and is written in a manner that will appeal to analysts and numerical practitioners alike...they contain everything from rigorous proofs to tables of numerical calculations....

Diffusion and growth phenomena abound in the real worldsurrounding us.

Includes a section that covers key concepts of cryptography, from encryption and digital signatures to cryptographic protocols. This book demonstrates essential techniques in protocols for key exchange, user identification, electronic elections and digital cash.

The second generation amorphous alloys, called "bulk amorphous alloys", have been discovered in some Pd based and Zr based alloy systems, with a super cooled liquid region at more than 120 K.

This book can be viewed as a scientific investigation combined with methodological studies. For practical reasons each of the methods is described in the following general manner including: the uses and the scientific investigation tasks; testing equipment; test preparation; tests; Each of the 37 methods contains a range of 1 to 8 variants.

A detailed and comprehensive account of the engineering of the world's first nonimaging Fresnel lens solar concentrator. The book shows the reader how to find his or her own optical solution using the rules and methodologies covering the design and the assessment of the nonimaging lens.

Seismic Reflection Processing coherently presents the physical concepts, mathematical details and methodology for optimizing results of reservoir modelling, under conditions of isotropy and anisotropy.

By employing a combination of approaches from several disciplines the authors elucidate the principles of a variety of biomechanical systems that rely on frictional surfaces or adhesive secretions to attach parts of the body to one another or to attach organisms to a substrate.

At the beginning of the 1990s research started in how to combine soft comput ing with reconfigurable hardware in a quite unique way. Evolvable hardware has become a part of the curriculum at some universi ties. Evolvable hardware is being commercialized and there are specialized conferences devoted to evolvable hardware.

The book generalizes the results of numerous investigations into the ignition and combustion of solid particles, droplets and bubbles, combustion wave propagation in heterogeneous reactive media, the stability of combustion of two-phase media, as well as the thermal regimes of high-temperature combustion reactors.

A major barrier to the introduction of ferroelectric devices into mass markets remains their limited reliability due to fatigue. The underlying physical and chemical mechanisms of this material fatigue phenomenon are extremely complex, and the relevant influences range from single-point defects to macroscopic boundary conditions.

Drawing on the author's wide experience, this book gives a comprehensive review of the state of the art in gyrotron technology, covering the theory, design and applications. The book includes an extensive references list which provides an excellent guide to the related literature.

This text offers many multiobjective optimization methods accompanied by analytical examples, and it treats problems not only in engineering but also operations research and management.

It begins with a historical overview of the discovery of Condorcet's Paradox in the 18th Century, reviews numerous studies conducted to find actual occurrences of the paradox, and compiles research that has been done to develop mathematical representations for the probability that the paradox will be observed.
