Overview: Stochastic models are everywhere. In manufacturing, queuingmodels are used for modeling production processes, realistic inventorymodels are stochastic in nature. Stochastic models are considered intransportation and communication. Marketing models use stochasticdescriptions of the demands and buyer‘s behaviors. In finance, marketprices and exchange rates are assumed to be certain stochasticprocesses, and insurance claims appear at random times with randomamounts. .To each decision problem, a cost function is associated. Costs may bedirect or indirect, like loss of time, quality deter

The main axis of the book is the application of the exploitation techniques of Oil and Natural Gas in Argentina, by the so-called “conventional” methods, in comparison with the so-called “Fracking”,(name? massively used in the First World and

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Tsinghua University in 2014.Introduces qualitative methods of nonlinear dynamics into the study of orbits around solar system small bodies (SSSBs) with hi.This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods. It introduces the methods of qualitative theory in nonlinear dynamics to the study of local/global behaviors around SSSBs. Detailed mechanical models are employed throughout this diss

Overview: Advanced communications and information technologies providethe basis for operational risk management. In order to supportmanagers in real-time risk assessment and decision-making, theadvanced technologies must be complemented by an appropriate reasoninglogic. .This book presents such a reasoning logic for operational riskmanagement. Chapter 1 discusses the need for operational riskmanagement and the feasibility of its use based upon advances insensing, mobile communications, and satellite positioningtechnologies. Chapter II presents a reasoning logic for operationalrisk management t

Overview: PERTH Western Australia March 2000 Increasingly explorationists are seeking to find new ore deposits in poorly prospected areas, be they geographically remote, such as in the Arctic, or geologically remote, such as those under sedimentary cover. Modern prospecting techniques, including low-detection-level geochemistry and the use of advanced geophysical instrumentation have greatly assisted explorers but fundamental to any soundly based exploration program remains an understanding of the geological framework of ore deposits. This allows the development of deposit models on macroscopi

Overview: The approach of this treatise is physiological throughout. In the eyes of the author it answers the rhetorical question raised by Maurice B. Visscher at the Physiology Congress in Washington D. C. in 1968: Does physiology exist? What he meant by this question was whether the fields of cellular physiology and physiology of the various organ systems had become so large that physiology as such had vanished. The firm answer is that physiology does indeed exist. Although it is important to study physiological problems at the subcellular level, it is importan- and equally difficult - to st

Overview: The International Societyon Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) was founded in 1973 "to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among those interested in any aspect of the transport and/or utilization of oxygen in tissues". Its members span virtually all disciplines, extending from various branches of clinical medicine such as anesthesiology, ophthalmology and surgery through the basic medical sciences of physiology and biochemistry to most branches ofthe physical sciences and engineering. The eighteenth annual meeting of ISOTT was held in 1990 for four days, from July 19 to

Overview: Offers the first academic study of shared ownership schemes in the UK that is independent from stakeholders in the industry.Brings together expertise from socio-legal studies as well as housing and so.This book uses a case study of a low-cost home ownership initiative at the margins of renting and owning provided by social landlords – known as shared ownership – to challenge everyday assumptions held about the ‘social’ and the ‘legal’ in property. The authors provide a study of the construction of property ownership, from the creation of this idea through to the present day, and offe

Overview: Openness and development are key words of central importance in describing the dynamism within the present world economy. Openness denotes the entire process of internationalization and liberalization now underway in the commodity markets, factor markets and financial mar- kets. Today there is hardly anational economy or company left which can afIord to ignore international dependencies. In the broadest sense of the word, development encompasses an those dynamic endogenous economic processes which create prosperity and a high standard of living via inno- vation and structural change.
