With detailed information on the history, analysis and applications of chlorine and bromine isotope geochemistry, this is the first book specifically dedicated to the geochemistry of these isotopes, and includes detailed assessments of analytical techniques.

This book offers a systematic study of sparse graphs and sparse finite structures. Although the notion of sparsity appears in various contexts and is typical of a fuzzy notion, the authors present a unifying classification of general classes of structures.

This expanded second edition of Analyzing Computer System Performance with Perl::PDQ, builds on the success of the first edition. It contains new chapters on queues, tools and virtualization, and new Perl listing format to aid readability of PDQ models.

The authors present cases from daily clinical practice to illustrate the role of diffusion sequences, along with other morphological and functional MRI information, in assessing a variety of frequently encountered oncological and non-oncological diseases.

In contrast to the formal neat approach to crystals, the study of str- turally disordered condensed systems is somewhat complicated and often leads to relatively imprecise results, not to mention the experimental and computational e?ort involved.

Optical Polarization in Biomedical Applications introduces key developments in optical polarization methods for quantitative studies of tissues, while presenting the theory of polarization transfer in a random medium as a basis for the quantitative description of polarized light interaction with tissues.

Focuses on the internal fixation of difficult fractures, with emphasis on maintaining the integrity of remaining soft tissue attachments. This book employs preoperative planning and 'indirect reduction' techniques to accomplish this goal.

This book reports on the latest advances in the study of Networked Control Systems (NCSs).

This book provides an analysis of the reaction mechanisms relevant to a number of processes in which CO2 is converted into valuable products.

It gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-year undergraduate physics student by examining the details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, analytic and numerical models of the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design.

Toward A More Balanced Approach: Rethinking and Readjusting Copyright Systems in the Digital Network Era

This book describes the properties of single polymer molecules and polymeric materials and the methods how to characterize them. They present the temperature dependence of mechanical properties of various polymeric materials in a wide temperature range: from cryogenic temperatures to the melt.

This book takes a critical view on corporate practice, governmental action and the general approach to Corporate Social Responsibility. It is suggested that capitalism can be given a human face, as companies adopt programmes which go beyond the minimum legal requirements.

The Black Sea Encyclopedia

This volume provides canonical knowledge in atomic physics together with the basics of modern spectroscopy. Starting from the fundamentals of quantum physics, it teaches readers the most important phenomena, models and measuring techniques.

This book examines the new International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs) treaty. It covers the events leading to the non-signature of the treaty by a number of states, outlines possible consequences of that split and offers possible ways forward.

This book reveals the dynamics of contemporary Chinese village politics. By combining abundant empirical data with close observation as an insider, the author illustrates the processes and consequences of transplanting democracy into rural Chinese society.

Now in its fourth edition, this volume collates an array of material on using MATLAB and Octave in science computing, offering hundreds of examples, solved exercises, and programs that will greatly extend the range and abilities of the software's users.

In short, the 24 selected and representative articles written in English by the author over the past 30-odd years, mainly published in international leading journals and now collected and compiled in this monograph, could be deemed the products of international academic debates.

This is the only scientific-based book on nicotine drug dependency. It presents a summary of the consequences that tobacco smoking has on health, taking into account all organ systems affected. It also describes measures to help individuals stop smoking.

This up-to-date, image-oriented book covers common, unusual and critical spinal disorders including skeletal and neural systems, which are encountered in daily routine practice. Each condition is described briefly with key images and schematic illustrations.

Covering all the essentials from biochemical recognition to the latest MEMS systems, this book on biosensors and their applications includes a wealth of case studies. Written by a leading expert on the subject, it includes a chapter on likely future advances.

Fundamentals of Air Cleaning Technology and Its Application in Cleanrooms sets up the theoretical framework for cleanrooms.
