This monograph is devoted to the theory and approximation by finite volume methods of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one or two space variables.

A solid introduction to basic continuum mechanics, emphasizing variational formulations and numeric computation. The book offers a complete discussion of numerical method techniques used in the study of structural mechanics.

The purpose of this work is to review recent findings highlighting the mechanisms and functions of the neuronal oscillations that structure brain activity across the sleep-wake cycle.

-First edition by McGraw-Hill, 1998. -Textbook for courses on health administration and planning -Author is fairly well-known in the field.

This open access volume gathers a variety of models, delivery systems, and approaches that can be used to assess RNA technology for exploiting antisense as a therapeutic intervention.

From the reviews:"...A class in nanoscale science and technology is daunting for the educator, who must organize a large collection of materials to cover the field, and for the student, who must absorb all the new concepts.

Here is a hands-on treatment of the subject of optimization, recommended for use by industry professionals, scientists, and students interested in optimization algorithms and their various applications. It provides a complete teaching package with MATLAB exercises and online solutions to end-of-chapter problems.

The common experience in solving control problems shows that optimal control as a function of time proves to be piecewise analytic, having a finite number of jumps (called switches) on any finite-time interval.

This book aims to present a comprehensive, self-contained, and concise overview of extreme value theory for time series, incorporating the latest research trends alongside classical methodology.

This book is a collection of principles and current practices in omics research, applied to skeletal muscle physiology and disorders. The various sections are categorized according to the level of biological organization, namely, genomics (DNA), transcriptomics (RNA), proteomics (protein), and metabolomics (metabolite). With skeletal muscle as the unifying theme, and featuring contributions from leading experts in this traditional field of research, it highlights the importance of skeletal muscle tissue in human development, health and successful ageing. It also discusses other fascinating topics like developmental biology, muscular dystrophies, exercise, insulin resistance and atrophy due to disuse, ageing or other muscle diseases, conveying the vast opportunities for generating new hypotheses as well as testing existing hypotheses by combining high-throughput techniques with proper experiment designs, bioinformatics and statistical analyses. Presenting the latest researchtechniques, this book is a valuable resource for the physiology community, particularly researchers and grad students who want to explore the new opportunities for omics technologies in basic physiology research.

This new edition contains a completely rewritten chapter on spherical harmonics, a new section on extensions of Bochers Theorem, new exercises and proofs, as well as revisions throughout to improve the text. A unique software package supplements the text for readers who wish to explore harmonic function theory on a computer.

This title is a comprehensive set of visual descriptions of deep-sky objects visible from the northern hemisphere. 3,000 deep-sky objects are listed with short descriptions of the visual appearance in the author's powerful binocular telescope. Full indexes by catalog numbers and names allow searches for specific objects.

SL2(R) gives the student an introduction to the infinite dimensional representation theory of semisimple Lie groups by concentrating on one example - SL2(R). The rapid development of representation theory over the past 40 years has made it increasingly difficult for a student to enter the field.

Why does nature prefer some shapes and not others? The Parsimonious Universe looks at examples from the world around us at a non-mathematical, non-technical level to show that nature achieves efficiency by being stingy with the energy it expends.

A collection of application-oriented contributions on Soft Shore Protection. It covers, among other subjects, nourishing techniques and light structures that slow down or even eliminate erosion, as well as possibilities that coastal management authorities and specialists need to know.

This volume examines behavioral genetic research on temperament and personality from a number of perspectives. The third and fourth sections discuss genotype-environment correlations and interactions, and introduces the reader to molecular genetics research on temperament and personality.

This monograph aims to provide a rigorous yet accessible presentation of some fundamental concepts used in modeling brain mechanics and give a glimpse of the insights and advances that have arisen as a result of the nascent interaction of the mathematical and neurosurgical sciences.

This book presents broadly applicable methods for the large deviation and moderate deviation analysis of discrete and continuous time stochastic systems. By characterizing a large deviation principle in terms of Laplace asymptotics, one converts the proof of large deviation limits into the convergence of variational representations.

This is the first book on multivariate analysis to look at large data sets which describes the state of the art in analyzing such data. Material such as database management systems is included that has never appeared in statistics books before.

This unique book contains all topics of importance to the analog designer which are essential to obtain sufficient insights to do a thorough job. The book starts with elementary stages in building up operational amplifiers. These are all based on the extensive amount of teaching that the author has carried out world-wide.

Two-person zero-sum game theory deals with situations that are perfectly competitive-there are exactly two decision makers for whom there is no possibility of cooperation or compromise.

This book develops the theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), starting from an introductory level (with no prior experience in ODEs assumed) through to a graduate-level treatment of the qualitative theory, including bifurcation theory (but not chaos).

I have written this book to put forward a new theory of reading the cognitive clarity theory. Although the cognitive clarity theory is new, it is derived from other theories and from a wide range of educational, linguistic and psychological research.

An overview of the theory and application of linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models in the analysis of grouped data, such as longitudinal data, repeated measures, and multilevel data.
