It carefully discusses the process of policy competition and the structure of policy cooperation. Similarly, as to policy cooperation, the focus is on cooperation between the union central bank, the German government, and the French government.

A 1988 classic, covering Two-dimensional Surfaces; Domains on the Plane and on Surfaces; Brunn-Minkowski Inequality and Classical Isoperimetric Inequality; Isoperimetric Inequalities for Various Definitions of Area; and Inequalities Involving Mean Curvature.

This introduction to computational geometry focuses on algorithms. Modern insights in computational geometry are used to provide solutions that are both efficient and easy to understand and implement.

The book contains insights, stimulating reflections and ideas, and creative provocations, such as the authors' continuous scepticism towards the liberal political and state theory. This book may become a milestone in the history of political and state theory.

This is the first graduate textbook on the algorithmic aspects of real algebraic geometry. The main ideas and techniques presented form a coherent and rich body of knowledge. Mathematicians will find relevant information about the algorithmic aspects.

This book provides insight into the mathematics of Galerkin finite element method as applied to parabolic equations. Two new chapters have also been added, dealing with problems in polygonal, particularly noncovex, spatial domains, and with time discretization based on using Laplace transformation and quadrature.

This text offers an introduction to error-correcting linear codes. The book differs from other standard texts in its emphasis on the classification of codes by means of isometry classes. The book is based on the successful German edition.

This book provides a quick access to computational tools for algebraic geometry, the mathematical discipline which handles solution sets of polynomial equations.

Dynamical Systems III

- How can sustainability be used as a 'deliberate strategy' for HRM?The conceptual part of the book looks at the notion of sustainability, opens it up for Strategic HRM and identifies blind spots in Strategic HRM theory.

This is the first monograph on nanomagnetism. It emphasizes general principles and mechanisms relevant to the understanding of the intriguing properties of nanomagnetic objects including thin films, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanodisks and nanorings.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a key enabling technology for interactive data. This book provides business and policy makers, technologists and information engineers with an essential toolkit to understand the complete implementation of XBRL.

This book argues for an agreement across the Operations Support Systems community on a core set of technology-neutral OSS design patterns. It details over a dozen design patterns that will help in the design of consistent interfaces to OSS applications.

This volume develops the kinetic theory of transport phenomena and relaxation processes in the flows of reacting gas mixtures. The theory is applied to the modeling of non-equilibrium flows behind strong shock waves, in the boundary layer, and in nozzles.

This book emphasizes the principles of digital transmission rather than modern technologies. Each topic is addressed theoretically and by simulation. Topics include notions of probability and stochastic processes, spread spectrum, channel coding, and more.

Polarization involves the vectorial nature of light fields. Vectorial properties are attracting increasing attention in the literature and this is the framework and the scope of this book, which includes the authors' own contributions.

The book provides a self-contained account of the formal theory of general, i.e. also under- and overdetermined, systems of differential equations which in its central notion of involution combines geometric, algebraic, homological and combinatorial ideas.

This book offers the latest research in Intelligent Scene Modeling Information Systems. It uses three main notions to explore improvements in various areas of computer graphics: Artificial Intelligence, Viewpoint Complexity, and Human Intelligence.

This book covers the numerical simulation of mechanical systems with unilateral contacts and friction. It gives an excellent overview on well established methods in non-smooth mechanics and opens new perspectives for development in this promising field.

This book puts the development of multi-agent systems into a larger perspective with traditional software engineering approaches to tackle difficult challenges of modern-day software systems, such as decentralized control, self-adaptation, and large-scale.

Machining and cutting technologies are still crucial for many manufacturing processes. This reference presents all important machining processes in a comprehensive and coherent way. It includes many examples of concrete calculations, problems and solutions.

This book examines control of nonlinear systems. Coverage ranges from mathematical system theory to practical industrial control applications. The author offers web-based videos illustrating some dynamical aspects and case studies in simulation.

This book provides an introduction to higher-order components (HOCs) for grid programming. HOCs implement generic parallel/distributed processing patterns, together with the required middleware support.

This book introduces computer-based modeling of oceanic processes. It contains over twenty practical exercises, using freely available open-Source software, and covers a wide range of topics, from long surface waves to general wind-driven circulation.

Recent research on the interaction of the brain activity with the senses has major implications for orthodontic therapy. This book presents the latest in the neurobiology of orthodontics and clearly describes those possible therapy ramifications.

Pattern calculus is a new foundation for computation. This book introduces static and dynamic pattern calculus, supports a family of type systems for pattern calculi that build on novel typings of lamda-calculus, and details a new programming language, bondi.

This book details the nature and internal structure of a whole carbonate mound body and discusses the significance of the recent carbonate mound record. It highlights that recent carbonate mounds form an important category within deep-water carbonate systems.

This book describes the basic design principles of columns equipped with modern lattice packings and structured packed beds, as generally used in industry. It provides support to engineers as well as graduate students in their daily design work.

The demand for cosmetic procedures by male patients has increased in recent years. This book is the first hands-on guide dedicated exclusively to the aesthetic treatment of the male patient. It is a unique guide written by internationally known experts.

This new edition of this practical-minded text on diffusion-weighted MR imaging has been completely revised and updated. It includes diffusion tensor imaging in each chapter and a new chapter on "Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of Scalp and Skull Lesions."
