This modern presentation guides readers through the theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction and determination. Starting from the basic principles of orbital mechanics, it covers elaborate force models as well as precise methods of satellite tracking.

The book is intended for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in related engineering and management programs such as mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering and engineering management programs, as well as for researchers and engineers in the quality and reliability fields.

This book provides a pioneering approach to modeling the human diabetic patient using a software agent. It is based on two MASc (Master of Applied Science) theses: one looking at the evolution of the patient agent in time, and another looking the interaction of the patient agent with the healthcare system.

This rigorously academic book describes - in a precise but practical way - the most recent principles and techniques of project management, at the highest international standards, with a fully company-wide, process-based, multi-project approach.

This book consists of introduction to academic achievement assessment, international comparison of academic achievement assessment and reference, as well as theoretical system and practice strategy of academic achievement assessment.

This volume introduces students to each phase of a typical data analysis project in the earth sciences, from preliminary research through data processing in MATLAB to presenting the results. It features numerous examples and tips on using internet resources.

This book focuses on the contribution of cell dedifferentiation to the regenerative process in all body systems, as well as its underlying molecular mechanisms and applications. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which addresses the history of cell dedifferentiation and regenerative medicine.

Based on the authors' over 30 years of practical research experience, this book shows how situation curriculum design illustrates the new idea of "combining subject curricula with children's activities." Particular attention is given to the subject curriculum, activity curriculum and the optimization of the situation.

This book fills a gap between many of the basic solid state physics and materials sciencebooks that are currently available. Each topic is explainedin the context of bulk materials and then extended to low-dimensional materials whereapplicable.

This new edition updates readers in three areas of NMR studies, namely, recent developments in high-Tc materials, heavy fermion systems and actinide oxides are presented.

This advanced study book provides the tools for understanding elementary processes in biology. It also covers many concepts in modern biophysics such as entropic forces, phase separation, proton and electron transfer and potentials of mean force.

This book analyzes the commercial space activities and commercialization processes of the last fifteen years and maps the future challenges that NewSpace companies will face developing commercial space markets.

This accessible book offers new approaches to electrochemical concepts, principles and applications, providing balanced coverage of the thermodynamic and kinetic processes at the heart of electrochemical systems. Includes self-assessment questions and more.

The second volume of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves is devoted to the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves.

This book giving an exposition of the foundations of modern measure theory offers three levels of presentation: a standard university graduate course, an advanced study containing some complements to the basic course, and, finally, more specialized topics partly covered by more than 850 exercises with detailed hints and references.

This book provides insights into the viability of the idea of global constitution. Global constitutionalism has emerged as an alternative paradigm for international law. In other words, global constitutionalism could be handled in the context of a global "constitutional culture" instead of a global constitution.

This book covers applied cryptography in computerized telecommunication networks. The authors present key technologies, algorithms, protocols, and methods of design and analysis, rendering algorithms in readable pseudocode and simple graphics and diagrams.

This book combines ideas from financial mathematics, actuarial sciences and economic theory to give a fully consistent framework for the analysis of solvency questions.

Analyzing more than 100,000 ultrasound exams in patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease, and many thousands of ultrasound-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, this is a most reliable reference for doctors, technicians, researchers and students.
