Overview: LINEAR equations play an important part, not only in mathe- matics itself, but also in many fields in which mathematics is used. Whether we deal with elastic deformations or electrical networks, the flutter of aeroplane wings or the estimation of errors by the method of least squares, at some stage in the cal- culation we encounter a system of linear equations. In each case the problem of solving the equations is the same, and it is with the mathematical treatment of this question that this book is concerned. By meeting the problem in its pure state the reader will gain an insight wh

Overview: Presents key areas of controversy.Promotes discourse among transplant professionals.Written by physicians, surgeons and health care providers who confront these issues on a daily basisLiver Transplantation: Challenging Controversies and Topics grew out of a need I perceived within the fields of transplant hepatology and liver transplantation. Liver transplantation has rightly gained recognition as an established therapy for end-stage liver disease. Few would argue that liver transplantation is one of the few truly lifesaving and life-altering treatments within medicine and surgery. N

Overview: Between 1995 and the present day, the world has undergone significant advances in international law, norms, and institutions. Progress was particularly intense in the fields of global environment, human security, cultural diversity, and human rights. This book reveals the key role played by the European Union, Japan, and Canada in this process.978-1-349-43830-3978-1-137-02373-5Series ISSN 2662-5873 Series E-ISSN 2662-5881

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Logical Foundations of Computer Science, LFCS‘97, held in Yaroslavl, Russia, in July 1997..The volume presents 42 revised refereed papers carefully selected by the program committee. All current issues of computer science logic are addressed. There is a certain emphasis on reporting the progress achieved by scientists from various parts of the former Soviet Union; but there are also many other strong papers from the international research community.978-3-540-63045-6978-3-540-69065-8Series ISSN 0302-9

Overview: This volume contains the revised refereed papers accepted for presentation at the Third International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning, LPNMR ‘95, held in Lexington, KY, USA in June 1995 under the sponsorship of the Association for Logic Programming..The LPNMR conferences bring together researchers from logic programming and the logical foundations of artificial intelligence in order to facilitate cooperation and cross-fertilization of ideas. The 28 full papers presented define the state of the art in this interdisciplinary area of research, which has recent

Overview: Offers insight into leadership problems in asymmetric warfare operations.Broadens your understanding of how leadership style is changing.Analyzes the experience and strategies of commanders in unconve.Since the end of bipolarism, the concept of asymmetric warfare, and of asymmetric conflict in general, has been increasingly applied with regard to armed forces activities and tasks. This book presents the findings of comparative empirical research conducted in selected military units by a group of distinguished experts on military organization, who hail from the eight participating cou

Overview: This book is about the light like (degenerate) geometry of submanifolds needed to fill a gap in the general theory of submanifolds. The growing importance of light like hypersurfaces in mathematical physics, in particular their extensive use in relativity, and very limited information available on the general theory of lightlike submanifolds, motivated the present authors, in 1990, to do collaborative research on the subject matter of this book. Based on a series of author‘s papers (Bejancu [3], Bejancu-Duggal [1,3], Dug- gal [13], Duggal-Bejancu [1,2,3]) and several other researcher

Overview: Firms of all sizes increasingly face the need to participate in global innovation cooperation. Yet, the global dimension adds another layer of complexity to open innovation processes. Juliane Hartig develops a framework for different forms of distance and discusses their impact and partial interplay for interactive learning and innovation. Her empirical study draws on a sample of international cooperation projects by small and medium-sized firms from the German biotechnology sector Combining quantitative and qualitative research, she provides new insights and offers practitioners too

Overview: Important timely topic.Includes a detailed discussion on how to implement and regenerate findings within the book.Provides a systematic study of a number of mathematical problems associated with excha.This book provides an analysis, under both discrete-time and continuous-time frameworks, on the price dynamics of leveraged exchange-traded funds (LETFs), with emphasis on the roles of leverage ratio, realized volatility, investment horizon, and tracking errors. This study provides new insights on the risks associated with LETFs. It also leads to the discussion of new risk management co

Overview: This is the standard in spectroscopy.No other book with this broad scope is available.Includes most recent techniques and applications.The author is one of the most renowned experts in this area.Numer.Keeping abreast of the latest techniques and applications, this new edition of the standard reference and graduate text on laser spectroscopy has been completely revised and expanded. While the general concept is unchanged, the new edition features a broad array of new material, e.g., ultrafast lasers (atto- and femto-second lasers), coherent matter waves, Doppler-free Fourier spectrosc

Overview: The evolution ofdata about the HIV-Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome has been rapid. The syndrome itself is complex and controversial. Although great progress has been made in understanding epidemiology and etiology of the syndrome, much about the syndrome remains mysterious. It was our intention to assist HIV providers with a framework for understanding the status and complexities ofthe field. Each author was requested to provide an evidence-based discussion of a topic for which they have expertise. While it is impossible that such a volume be completely comprehensive, we believe th

Overview: ."José Ferreirós has written a magisterial account of the history of set theory which is panoramic, balanced, and engaging. Not only does this book synthesize much previous work and provide fresh insights and points of view, but it also features a major innovation, a full-fledged treatment of the emergence of the set-theoretic approach in mathematics from the early nineteenth century. This takes up Part One of the book. Part Two analyzes the crucial developments in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, above all the work of Cantor, but also Dedekind and the interaction between
