Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Volume II of this two-volume, interdisciplinary work is a unified presentation of a broad range of state-of-the-art topics in the rapidly growing field of mathematical modeling in the biological sciences. Highlighted throughout are mathematical and computational apporaches to examine central problems in the life sciences, ranging from the organization principles of individual cells to the dynamics of large populations. The chapters are thematically organized into the following main areas: epidemiology, evolution and ecology, immunology, neural systems and the brain, and innovative mathematical methods and education.The work will be an excellent reference text for a broad audience of researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in this rapidly growing field at the intersection of applied mathematics, experimental biology and medicine, computational biology, biochemistry, computer science, and physics. 408 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -D-modules continues to be an active area of stimulating research in such mathematical areas as algebra, analysis, differential equations, and representation theory. Key to D-modules, Perverse Sheaves, and Representation Theory is the authors' essential algebraic-analytic approach to the theory, which connects D-modules to representation theory and other areas of mathematics. Significant concepts and topics that have emerged over the last few decades are presented, including a treatment of the theory of holonomic D-modules, perverse sheaves, the all-important Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, Hodge modules, and the solution to the Kazhdan-Lusztigconjecture using D-module theory.To further aid the reader, and to make the work as self-contained as possible, appendices are provided as background for the theory of derived categories and algebraic varieties. The book is intended to serve graduate students in a classroom setting and as self-study for researchers in algebraic geometry, and representation theory. 412 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Control collects together the work of more than 130 industrially-supported research projects conducted over 50 years on erosion at the Tallinn Technical University, Estonia (now the Tallinn University of Technology), much of which is previously unpublished in English.Providing a systematic review of erosion caused by solid particles, Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Control also introduces a new energetic theory of erosion by plastic contact, based on theories of plastic contact and brittle behaviour models for composite structures.Materials engineers, researchers and students will find Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Control a valuable resource on erosion wear mechanisms, with extensive data on erosive wear resistance of conventional steels, powder materials and coatings, criteria for erosive wear-resistant material and coating selection, and case studies on improving the erosion resistance of industrial equipment. 206 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of comprehensive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modern auditory research. The volumes are aimed at all individuals with interests in hearing research, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. The volumes are intended to introduce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and to help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in fields of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume presents a particular topic comprehensively, and each serves as a synthetic overview and guide to the literature. As such, the chapters present neither exhaustive data reviews nor original research that has not yet appeared in peer-reviewed journals. The volumes focus on topics that have developed solid data and a strong conceptual foundation rather than on those for which a literature is only beginning to develop. New research areas will be covered on a timely basis in the series as they begin to mature. 331 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Power Distribution Networks with On-Chip Decoupling Capacitors is dedicated to distributing power in high speed, high complexity integrated circuits with power levels exceeding tens of watts and the power supply below a volt. The book provides insight and intuition into the behavior and design of integrated circuit-based power distribution systems.The book has three primary objectives. The first is to describe the impedance characteristics of the overall power distribution system, from the voltage regulator through the printed circuit board and package onto the integrated circuit to the power terminals of the on-chip circuitry. The second is to discuss the inductive characteristics of on-chip power distribution grids and the related circuit behavior of these structures. The third objective is to present design methodologies for effciently placing on-chip decoupling capacitors in nanoscale integrated circuits.Power Distribution Networks with On-Chip Decoupling Capacitors is a reference for professional engineers in the fields of circuits and systems and computer-aided design. 516 pp. Englisch.…
