They encourage (a) academics to include a behavioral component into studies of the REIT market, (b) REIT managers to incorporate effective monitoring and control mechanisms, (c) investors to become more aware of agency conflicts in REITs and (d) policy makers to facilitate a legal framework conducive to a sustainable REIT market.

The new edition of this book has been completely updated and enriched by the inclusion of various new surgical techniques. Coverage focuses on the surgical treatment modalities as well as the current concepts for treatment decisions.

This book offers an introduction to cryptology, the science that makes secure communications possible, and addresses its two complementary aspects: cryptography---the art of making secure building blocks---and cryptanalysis---the art of breaking them.

This book presentsthe transport studies of topological insulator thin films grown by molecularbeam epitaxy. Through band structure engineering, the ideal topologicalinsulators, (Bi1 xSbx)2Te3 ternary alloys, are successfully fabricated, whichpossess truly insulating bulk and tunable conducting surface states.

The book serves as a first introduction to computer programming of scientific applications, using the high-level Python language.

Based on the latest version of designing codes both for buildings and bridges (GB50010-2010 and JTG D62-2004), this book starts from steel and concrete materials, whose properties are very important to the mechanical behavior of concrete structural members.

To address the spatiotemporalspecialties of spatial data, the authors introduce the key concepts andalgorithms of the data field, cloud model, mining view, and Deren Li methods.

This is the first book devoted to mobility management, covering the important principles, technologies and applications of mobility management based on years of academic research and industry experiences.

This book mainly focuses on the study of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ (Bi2212) and single-layer FeSe film grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrate by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).

This book introduces readers to the basic concepts of and latest findings in the area of differential equations with uncertain factors.

This book offers a practical approach to the histologic analysis of a wide range of melanocytic skin lesions, including various nevi and different forms of melanoma, as well as pigmented non-melanocytic lesions.

This book introduces the basic framework of advanced focal plane technology based on the third-generation infrared focal plane concept.

This book introduces systematic design methods for passive and active RF circuits and techniques, including state-of-the-art digital enhancement techniques.

This book reports on the latest advances in concepts and further development of principal component analysis (PCA), discussing in detail a number of open problems related to dimensional reduction techniques and their extensions.

Looking at the value of lignin in industry and the economy, this book overviews the types and their structures and properties, plus uses of crude or modified technical lignin for high-value bioproducts such as PF resins, epoxy resins, PF and PU foams, rubber reinforcement and carbon fibers and as dispersants in drilling fluids in oil and gas.

This book describes the fundamentals of Supply Chain Management in clear and concise terms. Essential insights are provided into how to analyse and evaluate the supply chain, based upon key aspects from research and practice, which helps readers to initiate their own optimisation processes.

This book introduces the unusual shock-related mineralogical features of the shocked Suizhou L6 (S5) meteorite. A few of the shock-induced melt veins in the meteorite are the simplest, straightest and thinnest ones among all shock-vein-bearing meteorites, and contain the most abundant high-pressure mineral species.

This thesis studies the general heat conduction law, irreversible thermodynamics and the size effect of thermal conductivity exhibited in nanosystems from the perspective of recently developed thermomass theory.

It explains in detail the systematic concept of combining radar and radar countermeasures from the perspective of the information acquisition of target location, the optimization of the reconnaissance and detection, the integrated attack of the signals and facilities, and technological and legal developments concerning the networked system.

This concise but comprehensive book will help interested readers in the health care professions to navigate their way through the jungle of movement disorders, including the potentially complex differential diagnosis and management.

The book describes the implementation of different methods, including artificial neural networks, the Matrix Method, the Monte Carlo method and the virtual CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), and demonstrates how these methods can be effectively used in practice to gauge the accuracy of coordinate measurements.

This book investigates collisions occurring in the motion of solids, in the motion of fluids but also in the motion of pedestrians in crowds.

This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods.

This book provides an overview of intelligent decision-making techniques and discusses their application in production and retail operations.

This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics.

This book discusses the successes and challenges of leveraging organizational learning in effective strategy development and execution. The system dynamics underlying such learning - not the simple adoption of one or other practice - are key to success in institutionalizing a performance-based learning approach.

This up-to-date discourse on body contouring surgery is based on the experience of a plastic surgeon who is renowned as an innovator and repeatedly reports excellent results.
