Overview: This textbook is for the standard, one-semester, junior-senior course that often goes by the title "Elementary Partial Differential Equations" or "Boundary Value Problems;‘ The audience usually consists of stu­ dents in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard equations of mathemati­ cal physics (including the heat equation, the· wave equation, and the Laplace‘s equation) and methods for solving those equations on bounded and unbounded domains. Methods include eigenfunction expansions or separation of variables, and m

Overview: Contributes to the emerging field of African bioethics.Articulates a personhood-based theory of dignity.Applies this theory to select bioethical issues: abortion and euthanasia.This book articulates an African conception of dignity in light of the salient axiological category of personhood in African cultures. The idea of personhood embodies a moral system for evaluating human lives exuding with virtue or ones that are morally excellent. This book argues that this idea of personhood embodies an under-explored conception of dignity, which accounts for it in terms of our capacity for t

Overview: .This book focuses on safeguarding civil structures and residents from natural hazards such as earthquakes through the use of active control. It proposes novel proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, as well as discrete-time sliding mode controllers (DSMCs) for the vibration control of structures involving nonlinearities. Fuzzy logic techniques are used to compensate for nonlinearities. .The first part of the book addresses modelling and feedback control in inelastic structures and presents a design for PD/PID controllers. In the second pa

Overview: Scientists and clinicians attending the last "New Directions in Antiviral Therapy" conference in late 1994 could hardly have predicted the revolution in the management of patients with HIV infection that has occurred since. Two new classes of antiretrovirals have been licensed, the second-site RT inhibitors and the protease inhibitors; the long in­ cubation period of active HIV infection, when the infection is clinically latent, is now un­ derstood to be a period of intense viral replication and turnover of CD4 lymphocytes; measurements of HI V RNA concentration in plasma have been s

Overview: Covers the supplementation of aquafeeds with terrestrial plant material used in human medicine and nutrition.Addresses medicinal plants, food plants, fruits, essential oils, fermentation residues, and.This volume first covers the supplementation of aquafeeds with terrestrial plant material used in human medicine and nutrition. Mainly based on the “trial and error” approach, many supplements enhance growth, immunity and resistance to stress. However, other supplements appear to be ineffective and some have adverse effects. A robust and guiding hypothesis for sup­plementation is not ap

Overview: Addresses the specifics of autism spectrum disorders in adults, including Asperger’s syndrome.Meets the needs of all who care for adults affected by these disorders.Covers recent advances and research.In this book a group of international experts guide the reader through the clinical features of adults with autism spectrum disorders, describe the care needs of patients and their families, explain the evolution of the disorders into old age, and highlight what can be done to help.
