The overall structure of this new edition is three-tier: Part I presents the basics, Part II is concerned with methodological issues, and Part III discusses advanced topics.

This book examines the administrative and practical aspects of international commerce. It helps readers decide on and manage complex international business transactions, including in- and outsourcing problems, exports and imports.

Based on the authors' research, this book introduces the main processing techniques in hyperspectral imaging.

International Business Ethics

This book looks into the increasing conflict between the demand of economic growth and the already fragile ecological system condition in China.

This book will enable readers to recognize and understand the CT signs of lung diseases and diseases with pulmonary involvement. It explains how different diseases present on CT and the reasons for these presentations. Includes many diagnostic algorithms.

Information systems (IS) are the backbone of any organization today. This book deals with the question: how do these systems come into existence? It offers a unified approach to the management, methodology and technology of making of IS.

This book describes the soils of Israel, offering details of their distribution, chemical, physical, and mineralogical characteristics and agricultural attributes. The distribution of the different soil types is explained, based on the relationships between soils and soil-forming factors.

With contributions by numerous experts

The author of this fascinating volume was director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the collider's construction and recounts vividly the convoluted decision-making, technically challenging construction, and fruitful research at the facility.

This thesis reports on innovations in the design and direct synthesis of graphene-based woven fabric (GWF) and multi-layer graphene/porous carbon woven fabric films (MLG/PC) by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using woven copper mesh and nickel mesh as the template.

This engaging study seeks to explain why left-handed amino acids violated parity in the emergence of life on Earth. To that end, it offers all the models proposed by physicists, chemists and biologists as well as the scientific conflicts.

This book shows enterprise business leaders, from CEOs to supervisors, what Continuous Improvement is, why it is probably the best answer in years to improved business performance, and how to implement it in the unique environment of a specific organization.

Starting from Mars outward, this concise and illustrated handbook provides thorough information on the satellites of the planets in the solar system. Readers interested in the history and mythological backgrounds of astronomy will enjoy this beautiful volume.

This book offers a self-contained exposition of the theory of computability in a higher-order context, where 'computable operations' may themselves be passed as arguments to other computable operations.

This book is a comprehensive explanation of graph and model transformation. Then in the main part the book contains detailed chapters on M-adhesive categories, M-adhesive transformation systems, and multi-amalgamated transformations, and model transformation based on triple graph grammars.

This anthological description of the history and applications of photochemistry provides photochemistry practitioners with complementary information about the field, currently not covered in existing textbooks and handbooks.

This monograph takes an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach to 20th and 21st -century Canadian Daoist poetry, fiction and criticism in comparative, innovative and engaging ways.

Complex plasmas are dusty plasmas in which the density and electric charges of the dust grains are sufficiently high to induce long-range grain-grain interactions. This book addresses students as well as specialist and nonspecialist researchers with a background in either plasma physics, space sciences or the physics of complex systems.

This book provides advanced theoretical and applied tools for the implementation of modern micro-econometric techniques in evidence-based program evaluation for the social sciences.

Here, the authors introduce readers to solving molecular structure elucidation problems using the expert system ACD/Structure Elucidator. They explain in detail the concepts of the Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation (CASE) approach and point out the crucial role of understanding the axiomatic nature of the data used to deduce the structure.

- Mechanisms of mutual influence between living organisms and the environment: how life changed Earth's history whilst, at the same time, environmental pressures continue to shape the evolution of species;

This thesis studied the effect of aging of intumescent coatings (ICs) on the reliability of protected steel columns in fire condition and developed a probabilistic approach to assess the service life of ICs applied on steel columns.

This book provides a systematic introduction to the principles of microscopic imaging through tissue-like turbid media in terms of Monte-Carlo simulation. Microscopic imaging through a tissue-like turbid medium can provide higher resolution than transillumination imaging in which no objective is used.

This book presents the basic principles and theoretical foundations of three-dimensional attached viscous flows as they apply to aircraft of all kinds. Includes estimated flow properties, coordinates for fuselages and wings, and sample problems with solutions.

This book emphasizes three very important concepts: computability, as opposed to recursion or induction; classical computability; and the art of computability, a skill to be practiced but also important in an esthetic sense of beauty and taste in mathematics.
