Overview: Develops a new theory of fractal dimension using the topological concept of a fractal structure.Provides a rigorous description of the first-known (and currently, the only) general algorithm for calcu.This book provides a generalised approach to fractal dimension theory from the standpoint of asymmetric topology by employing the concept of a fractal structure. The fractal dimension is the main invariant of a fractal set, and provides useful information regarding the irregularities it presents when examined at a suitable level of detail. New theoretical models for calculating the frac

Overview: Mit zunehmender Ausweitung der Gesch?ftst?tigkeit von Unternehmungen aller Branchen über den nationalen Raum hinaus w?chst die Bedeutung von Fragen der Finanzierung derartiger internationaler bzw. multinationaler Operationen. In Gegensatz zu dieser Entwicklung der Praxis stand bisher die wissenschaftliche Bew?ltigung dieses Problembereichs, zu dem zwar eine Reihe spezieller Forschungsergebnisse vorliegt, ein umfassendes Lehrbuch aber fehlte. Diese Lücke schlie?t Eilenberger, indem er den aktuellen Wissensstand zum betriebswirtschaftlichen Investitionsproze? bei Auslandsinvestitionen

It provides an extensive overview of geometric programming methods within a unifying framework, and presents an in-depth discussion of the modified geometric programming problem, fuzzy geometric programming, as well as new insights into goal geometric programming. With numerous

Overview: The decade prior to publication has seen an explosive growth in com- tational speed and memory and a rapid enrichment in our understa- ing of arti?cial neural networks. These two factors have cooperated to at last provide systems engineers and statisticians with a working, prac- cal, and successful ability to routinely make accurate complex, nonlinear models of such ill-understood phenomena as physical, economic, social, and information-based time series and signals and of the patterns h- den in high-dimensional data. The models are based closely on the data itself and require only l

Overview: Presents new and unique approach to fire hazard assessment of electrical cables.Illustrates newly created approach‘practically on specific types of cables.Provides information on fire safety of electrThis book offers a comprehensive approach to the assessment of fire hazards of electrical cables. The first part of the book describes division of cables, main parameters of electrical cables, and fault scenarios of cables leading to fire or occupant injuries. The traditional approach to fire hazards of electrical cables assessment is also described in the first part. The second part of

Overview: Uses a Hobbesian absolutist position to reconsider existing arguments surrounding rights to free speech.Argues that the limits of free speech should be set by the state through a process of social and.This book addresses the question: “What should be the appropriate limits to free speech?” The author claims that it is the state, rather than abstract principles, that must provide the answer. The book defends a version of Hobbesian absolutism and rejects the dominant liberal idea that there is a right (human or civil) setting the boundaries of free speech. This liberal view can be know

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Peking University, China.Reviews the general design principle of flexible/woven-fiber electronics.Demonstrates a novel scalable fabrication technology for h.This thesis presents the fundamental research and latest findings on novel flexible/wearable photovoltaic technology, and comprehensively summarizes the rapid developments in flexible photovoltaics, from traditional planar solar cells to fiber solar cells. It discusses the rational design of fiber solar cell materials, electrodes and devices, as well as critical factors including cost,

Overview: An insight into the financial management practices of Indian.Corporates Guidelines and normative framework for practicing finance executives.Current and emerging issues in corporate financial decision.Financial management practices are likely to have a marked effect on the financial performance of a corporate enterprise. Therefore, sound financial decisions/practices can contribute towards meeting the desired objective of having profitable operations. This subject assumes paramount significance in view of the present dynamic and turbulent business environment, which has produced more

Overview: claim is that such morphological processes can be learnt without symbolization and innate knowledge. See Rumelhart and McClelland (1986) for the original model of past tense acquisition, Plunkett and Marchman (1993), Nakisa, Plunkett and Hahn (1996) and Elman et al. (1996) for developments and extensions to other morphological processes, and Marcus et al. (1992) and Pinker and Prince (1988) for criticism. One line of investigation supporting the view of language as a genetic endowment is closely linked to traditional research on language acquisition and argues as follows: If language

Overview: This is a new and enlarged English edition of the book which, under the title "Formeln und Satze fur die Speziellen Funktionen der mathe- matischen Physik" appeared in German in 1946. Much of the material (part of it unpublished) did not appear in the earlier editions. We hope that these additions will be useful and yet not too numerous for the purpose of locating .with ease any particular result. Compared to the first two (German) editions a change has taken place as far as the list of references is concerned. They are generally restricted to books and monographs and accomodated at

Overview: Many fathers are now providing hands-on, engaged care to babies and young children. This book draws on observations of, and interviews with, caregiving fathers, as well as analyses of fathers‘ memoirs and online blogs, to examine fathers‘ caregiving work as embodied practice and as lived experience.978-1-137-45589-5Series ISSN 2731-6440 Series E-ISSN 2731-6459

Overview: An extraordinary mathematical conference was held 5-9 August 1990 at the University of California at Berkeley: From Topology to Computation: Unity and Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences An International Research Conference in Honor of Stephen Smale‘s 60th Birthday The topics of the conference were some of the fields in which Smale has worked: ? Differential Topology ? Mathematical Economics ? Dynamical Systems ? Theory of Computation ? Nonlinear Functional Analysis ? Physical and Biological Applications This book comprises the proceedings of that conference. The goal of the confe

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Biology undergraduates, medical students and life-science graduate students often have limited mathematical skills. Similarly, physics, math and engineering students have little patience for the detailed facts that make up much of biological knowledge. Teaching computational neuroscience as an integrated discipline requires that both groups be brought forward onto common ground. This book does this by making ancillary material available in an appendix and providing basic explanations without becoming bogged down in unnecessary details. The book will b

Overview: Provides coherent operational tools for managing companies in distress.Includes a framework for developing financial strategies for companies in trouble.Describes how companies can gain a competitive .The financial markets have undergone a significant development process, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and partly induced by major pushes for globalization and deregulation. In this context, finance has taken on an increasingly central role for companies and is now on par with production and sales, which have always been the cornerstones of business management. The effects of th

Overview: Fills a significant gap in the machine learning literature.Explains the most comprehensive knowledge representation formalism.Offers researchers and graduate students a clear unifying terminology.Incl.Rules – the clearest, most explored and best understood form of knowledge representation – are particularly important for data mining, as they offer the best tradeoff between human and machine understandability. This book presents the fundamentals of rule learning as investigated in classical machine learning and modern data mining. It introduces a feature-based view, as a unifying fram
