Introduction to Solid-State Theory is a textbook for graduate students of physics and materials science. The development of solid-state theory within the last ten years has shown that by a systematic introduction of these concepts, large parts of the theory can be described in a unified way.

Excellent textbook of multimedia signal processing also dealing with the optimization of multimedia communication systems. It covers the theoretical background of one- and multidimensional signal processing, statistical analysis and modelling, coding and information theory as well as estimation and classification theory.

This text includes coverage of the technology on solving theoretical and practical problems on solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, structural analysis, elastodynamics, fluid mechanis and aerodynamics, by using linear and non-linear singular integral equation methods.

From the reviews: "This is a textbook in cryptography with emphasis on algebraic methods. It is supported by many exercises (with answers) making it appropriate for a course in mathematics or computer science. Mathematical Reviews

Chapters 2-4 describe very brie?y the basic physics and technology of the solar cell. The silicon cell is the vehicle for this description because it is the best understood solar cell and also has the greatest practical importance.

The text provides valuable insights for knowledge managers, designers of internet-based knowledge infrastructures, and professionals in the publishing industry.

The book focuses on how the exploration of the cosmic background radiation has shaped our picture of the Universe. Using a simple language and captivating metaphors, this book will help the reader to understand the mechanisms behind our Universe.

From the reviews: "The book is excellent, and covers a very broad area (usually treated as separate topics) from a unified perspective. [...] It will be very useful for both mathematicians and physicists." EMS Newsletter

This standard reference on applications of invariant theory to the construction of moduli spaces is a systematic exposition of the geometric aspects of classical theory of polynomial invariants. This new, revised edition is completely updated and enlarged with an additional chapter on the moment map by Professor Frances Kirwan.

This book is based on the Regional Section of the Development Plan 2000-2006, prepared by the Regional Development Institute according to the Greek Ministry of National Economy's directions and available data.

Fourth edition sold over 1400 copies in North America. For the fifth edition the chapter on Optimization has been enlarged and the chapters on Probability Theory and Statistics have been carefully revised. Includes over 450 graphs, figures and illustrations.

A presentation of the basic models of the most important economic agents (households, firms, the banking system etc.). The book helps the reader to understand the interdependence of humanities and economics and how to model this interdependence in economics.

Structure-Borne Sound" is a thorough introduction to structural vibrations with emphasis on audio frequencies and the associated radiation of sound.

One of the first books in this area, this text focuses on important aspects of the system operation, analysis and performance evaluation of selected chaos-based digital communications systems - a hot topic in communications and signal processing.

The book supplies the necessary knowledge and software solutions for determining and predicting positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, minor planets and comets, solar eclipses, stellar occultations by the Moon, phases of the Moon and much more.

, from Chapter IX (Analytical Theory of Semi-groups) directly to Chapter XIII (Ergodic Theory and Diffusion Theory) and to Chapter XIV (Integration of the Equation of Evolution).

Focusing on ways to bridge the gap between formal and more intuitive software programming, this carefully graded text provides stepwise explanation of algorithm derivation and facilitates practical applications in computation geometry, among other fields.

This book details the way in which the world's plant life partly controls its own environment. It explains some of the underlying mechanisms by which life controls how our planet works, the climate, the atmosphere and the oceans.

This book offers comprehensive business-oriented insights on trends and challenges arising from the transition to a service-lead economy. The authors examine current and future Web service business models and propose a framework for Web service Value Networks.

This book covering the basics and the state-of-the-art of cryobiology and its applications emphasizes the underlying physical phenomena. It includes a comprehensive glossary and appendices for deeper exploration into special issues.

This book demonstrates the applications of synchrotron radiation in certain aspects of cell microbiology, specifically non-destructive elemental analyses, chemical-state analyses and imaging (distribution) of the elements within a cell.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of uncertain programming theory, including numerous modeling ideas, hybrid intelligent algorithms, and applications in system reliability design, vehicle routing problem, and machine scheduling problem.

Coupled with its sequel, this book gives a connected, unified exposition of Approximation Theory for functions of one real variable. It describes spaces of functions such as Sobolev, Lipschitz, Besov rearrangement-invariant function spaces and interpolation of operators.

An application-oriented approach to process control. The reference text systematically explains process identification, control and optimization, the three key steps needed to solve a multivariable control problem.

Colleges give degrees in information science and information management. The purpose of this volume is to introduce key developments and results in the area of generalized information theory, a theory that deals with uncertainty-based information within mathematical frameworks that are broader than classical set theory and probability theory.

This third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. In particular it now includes an extensive discussion of the band lineup at semiconductor interfaces. The unifying concept is the continuum of interface-induced gap states.

In this book the author extends the concepts introduced in his Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physics to situations in which the strong electronic correlations are crucial for the understanding of the observed phenomena.

Mining the Earth's Heat: Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy describes the work carried out by the Los Alamos National Laboratory to turn an idealistic concept - that of drawing useful amounts of energy from the vast underground store of hot rock at reachable depths - into a practical reality.
