She transfers the newly defined concepts for the modelling and operationalization of supply chain risk within simulation and optimization approaches, in order to ease unexpected deviations and disruptions, which are subsumed under the notion of supply chain risk, increasingly aggravating the planning and optimization of supply chains.

This book, examining smart-city trends and developments from global, Chinese and EU perspectives, shows how the concept of the smart city varies from city to city.

This book describes a unified framework for networked teleoperation systems involving multiple research fields: networked control systems for linear and nonlinear forms, bilateral teleoperation, trilateral teleoperation, multilateral teleoperation and cooperative teleoperation.

This thesis focuses on the synthesis and vaccine evaluation of the prostate tumor- associated carbohydrate antigen RM2.

The aim of this book is to unlock the power of the freeware R language to advanced university students and researchers dealing with whole-rock geochemistry of (meta-) igneous rocks.

This book analyses the topic of protecting traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) in Latin America. The study analyses regional, national and local particularities of law on paper and law in reality. The following is clear: The true test for any new legislation - in Latin America and elsewhere - is its impact on the everyday life.

The work is aimed at the review of hot topics in modern light scattering and radiative transfer. A special attention will be given to the description of the methods of integro-differential radiative transfer equation solution. In particular, the asymptotic radiative transfer and the method of discrete ordinates will be considered.

This book serves as an introduction of the off-diagonal Bethe Ansatz method, an analytic theory for the eigenvalue problem of quantum integrable models.

Long awaited, this fine surgical atlas covers all aspects of neuro-otology and lateral skull base procedures in comprehensively in detail. More than 200 superb artwork illustrations describe each surgical procedure with nearly 600 additional intraoperative pictures with CT and MRI images to teach specific case examples.

Stochastic Optimization Methods

This richly illustrated atlas, compiled by authors with extensive experience in the field, offers a step-by-step guide to the surgical treatment of tumors, and congenital diseases of the skull base and nasal sinuses.

This book describes a variety of highly effective and efficient structure-preserving algorithms for second-order oscillatory differential equations. The book describes novel advances in RKN methods, ERKN methods, Filon-type asymptotic methods, AVF methods, and trigonometric Fourier collocation methods.

This textbook covers thetheoretical background of one- and multidimensional signal processing,statistical analysis and modelling, coding and information theory with regardto the principles and design of image, video and audio compression systems.

Complexity is a gift that you can make available for the successful implementation of projects, to create a new order or to change an existing one. The authors describe the means of complexity regulation in projects and how self-organization for the management of projects can be applied.

The authors discuss the engineering properties of energy technologies including renewables, the economics of natural resources and environmental protection, market liberalization, and energy trade as well as the experience of the German energy transformation.

This volume contains the written versions of the lectures given at the 26th course of the renowned Saas-Fee series.

Natural Computing Algorithms

The book begins with a historical introduction, "Star Formation: The Early History", that presents new material of interest for students and historians of science. This is followed by two long articles on "Pre-Main-Sequence Evolution of Stars and Young Clusters" and "Observations of Young Stellar Objects".

Other chapters are concerned with properties of workpieces after metal forming as well as the fundamentals of the theory of plasticity and finite element simulation of metal forming processes.

The ability to produce durable low-friction surfaces and lubricant fluids has become an important factor in the miniaturization of moving components in many technological devices, e.g., magnetic storage, recording systems, miniature motors and many aerospace components.

This textbook presents the basics of game theory both on an undergraduate level and on a more advanced mathematical level. Part II goes deeper into noncooperative theory and treats the theory of zerosum games, refinements of Nash equilibrium in strategic as well as extensive form games, and evolutionary games.

This book examines the nature and consequences of strategic competition between the US and China, which affects the global security landscape and the emerging security architecture across the broader Asia-Pacific region.

This book provides, in an easy-to-use format, an extensive collection of data and information on China's 31 provinces and its interprovincial economic linkages.

It studies not only the spatial differences in technology usage worldwide, but also examines digital differences in the major world nations of China, India, the United States and Japan at the state and provincial levels.
