This book presents a coherent description of the theoretical and practical aspects of Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN).

This useful text provides a survey of the current state of research into the physics of neutrinos. It gives a global view of the areas of physics in which neutrinos play important roles, including astrophysics and cosmology.

The motivation for the mathematical modeling studied in this text on developments in credit risk research is the bridging of the gap between mathematical theory of credit risk and the financial practice. Mathematical developments are covered thoroughly and give the structural and reduced-form approaches to credit risk modeling.

This second edition has been brought up to date by the inclusion of an extensive new chapter on aspects relevant to high-temperature superconductors. The new edition provides researchers, engineers and other scientists with an introduction to the field and makes useful supplementary reading for graduate students in low-temperature physics.

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are widely used in mobile communications, a rapidly evolving market. This book gives an overview on the latest SAW technologies with an emphasis on the design and simulation of devices, such as resonator-based devices employing the SH-type leaky SAW.

This is the only book of its scope to comprehensively investigate the performance and problems of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol stack. It is an ideal reference work giving valuable advice on protocols, transmission modes, and coding schemes.

Martin Green, one of the world's foremost photovoltaic researchers, argues in this book that "second generation" photovoltaics will eventually reach its own material cost constraints, engendering a "third generation" of high performance thin-films.

This book provides a summary of geodynamic results from Iceland that presently are found in a great number of scientific articles, but have not been collected before in a book.

With coverage of a wide range of disease patterns and distributions, this atlas will help readers to quickly and easily reach a diagnosis appropriate to the pattern of lung abnormality identified on CT scans.

This book, based on the first public course on the openHPI e-learning platform, reviews radical differences and advantages to traditional row-oriented disk-based databases for OLAP and OLTP that result in the spectacular performance of in-memory technology.

This book presents core concepts and algorithms of distributed computing, covering distributed graph algorithms; logical time and global states; mutual exclusion and resource allocation; high-level communication abstractions;distributed shared memory and more.

This book focuses on the current status, prospects and foundations of digital government. Integrating examples and cases from administrative practice, it covers all important aspects of digital government management.

This book provides a uniform formula for the design of any planar four-bar linkages. It develops Burmester theory to fit for the design with any number of positions and offers a method to build the statics and structural dynamics of complex planar linkages.

This book presents a holistic approach for purchasing performance measurement and the incentive systems associated with it. Includes ten steps for sustained performance measurement in purchasing.

This book sets out fundamental principles of the probability theory, supplemented by theoretical models of random variables, evaluation of experimental data, sampling theory, distribution updating and tests of statistical hypotheses.

Basic Algebraic Geometry II is a revised edition of Shafarevich's well-known introductory book on algebraic varieties and complex manifolds. It can be read independently of Volume I and is suitable for graduate students in mathematics and theoretical physics.

Here is the first of a two-volume work offering an introduction to algebraic geometry. It makes the topic accessible to non-specialists and beginners and is suitable for undergraduates in mathematics as well as students of theoretical physics.

This book provides a new foundation for the study of macroeconomics, international in its approach and emphasizing current debates and research trends in context of the 2007 financial crisis and its aftermath. Stresses critical thinking and active learning.

This book represents a new foundation for the study of microeconomics, viewed from a broad perspective that takes into account new developments at the intersections with psychology, political science, the natural sciences and philosophy.

This book surveys topological methods in signal processing which address uncertainty in deterministic fashion. The author offers an efficient treatment of cellular sheaves, showing how their use is decisive in treating difficult problems in signal processing.

This book provides a novel and genuinely theoretical approach to biology. Coverage includes a characterization of physical versus biological as well as introduces the concept of anti-entropy as a measure for the potential of variability.

This book presents an integrative approach to the strategic management of manufacturing networks, and goes on to discuss the derivation of an optimal global footprint and the optimization of network coordination activities. Includes up-to-date case examples.

Serving as a first text on wind energy for scientists and for more general but no less interested readers, this book provides an introductory work that combines interdisciplinary scope with a simple, lucid style.

Three subjects of major interest in one textbook: linear elasticity, mechanics of structures in linear isotropic elasticity, and nonlinear mechanics including computational algorithms.

Cryptography is one of the most active areas in current mathematics research and applications. This book focuses on cryptography along with two related areas: the study of probabilistic proof systems, and the theory of computational pseudorandomness.

This monograph is the first to present the recently discovered renormalization techniques for the Schroedinger and Dirac equations, providing a mathematically rigorous, yet simple and clear introduction to the subject.

In 5 independent sections, this book accounts recent main developments of stochastic analysis: Gross-Stroock Sobolev space over a Gaussian probability space; principle of transfer from ordinary differential equations to stochastic differential equations; stochastic Analysis in infinite dimension.

In January 2005, the German government enacted a substantial reform of the welfare system, the so-called "Hartz IV reform". It investigates whether a centralized or decentralized organization of welfare administration is more successful to integrate welfare recipients into employment.

This book presents a market-consistent valuation framework for implicit embedded options in life insurance contracts. This framework is used to perform an empirical analysis based on more than 110,000 actual and in-force life insurance policies and with a focus on the modeling of interest rates.
