This volume shows how to construct solutions of numerous nonlinear PDEs quickly and easily. The text discusses comparisons and relationships between the varying solutions, methods and approaches.

This book presents research at the interface between people, Space and objects. Evaluating extra-terrestrial habitats in comparison to the user's perspective, this book proposes a new framework, comparing these buildings from the viewpoint of human activity.

This book covers modeling approaches used to describe strain in silicon. The subband structure in stressed semiconductor films is explored in devices using analytical k.p and numerical pseudopotential methods. Includes a rigorous overview of transport modeling.

Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, is among the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century.

The atlas covers the normal microsurgical anatomy of the central skull base as well as the pathological anatomy of the tumorous and vascular lesions of this region. The book gives a detailed description of the contemporary approaches to the individual pathologies in the central skull base which have evolved in the last 15 years.

Presents a collection of Hahn's writings on harmonic analysis, measure and integration, complex analysis and philosophy, which are commented upon by Jean-Pierre Kahane, Heinz Bauer, Lutger Kaup, and Christian Thiel. This volume also contains excerpts of letters of Hahn and accounts by students and colleagues.

This book provides a toolbox to structure cloud computing strategies and design cloud application architectures. It features provider-independent descriptions of different clouds and their offerings and applications to guide architects and developers.

Cerebral visual disorders have far-reaching consequences for child development. It covers the development and disorders of visual perception in children, their assessment, early intervention and management in an interdisciplinary context, both from a scientific as well as clinical perspective.

Service-oriented systems are increasingly challenging traditional software engineering methods. Aimed at the specialist, this volume's detailed case studies provide an integrated vision of the most important current European research in service engineering.

Using detailed drawings collected during the author's decades of neurosurgical experience, this atlas illustrates the anatomical structures and topography of the internal and external cranial base essential to transnasal endoscopic surgical approaches.

This pragmatic book provides a detailed overview of prominent procedures of algorithmic composition. In addition to an historic overview, each chapter presents a specific class of algorithm in a compositional context.

Dealing with functional analysis, real analysis and hydrodynamics, this second volume features commentaries written by Wilhelm Frank, Davis Preiss, and Alfred Kluwick.

This book details current knowledge of chronic clonal myeloid diseases. Emphasis is laid on chronic myeloid leukaemia and classic myeloproliferative disorders as well as myelodysplastic syndromes, oligoblastic leukemias and overlap diseases.

Conceived as a reference manual for practicing engineers, instrument designers, service technicians and engineering students. Historical anecdotes as far back as Hellenistic times to modern scientists help illustrate in an entertaining manner ideas ranging from impractical inventions in history to those that have changed our lives.

Written by an insider, this book covers the concept of evolved 3G networks of standardization. It draws from standardization meeting notes, company analyses and online discussion to detail relevant history, detours and alternatives that were not used.

This work on the progress in the chemistry of organic natural products offers examination on topics such as: the naturally occuring coumarins; variations of ring-attached five-carbon units found in coumarins; and variations of five carbon units attached to carbon and oxygen in coumarins.

This handbook provides both basic theory and suggestions for daily practice. The coverage reviews classic symptoms of disturbed attachment, and outlines treatment, from measures to ensure a healthy attachment early in life to treatment at different stages of personality development.

This book explores the challenges of early childhood motor and perceptual development in children with fragile skin characteristic of Epidermolysis bullosa. The authors are occupational therapists who offer a combination of pediatric and functional treatment.

For some 50 years, Professor Asakawa and his group have focused their research on the chemical constituents of bryophytes and have found that these plants contain large numbers of secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, acetogenins, and aromatic compounds representative of many new skeletons, which exhibit interesting biological activities.

The Yearbook on Space Policy, edited by the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), is the reference publication analysing space policy developments. Each year it presents issues and trends in space policy and the space sector as a whole.

The book comprises the fundamentals of the numerical simulation of fluid flows as well as the modelling of a power plant and plant components. The fundamental equations for heat and mass transfer will be prepared for the application in the numerical simulation. Selected numerical methods will be discussed in detail. The book will deal with the gas as well as with the water/steam flow. Regulation and controller, simplified models and hybrid models as well as the validation of measurement data are also included in the book.

After the successful introduction of acupuncture to the West, recent advances in analytical methods in chemistry, molecular biology and systems biology - especially the development of the "omic" technologies - have again brought Chinese drugs into the focus of research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Each of the remaining chapters deals with one of the following: neuroepithelial tumors, pineal region tumors, meningiomas, neurinomas, pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, angiomas and aneurysms producing mass effect, intracranial metastatic tumors, rare tumors and expansive nontumoral lesions, and, lastly, spinal tumors.

We believe, however, that the present book succeeds in this difficult endeavor because it approaches established materials from wholly novel points of departure, and is thus able to attain new perspectives and achieve new results.
