Overview: The first textbook on queueing theory that does not require a course in stochastic processes as a prerequisite; suitable for applied science students not needing a specialized course in queueing theorThere are several books on queueing theory available for students as well as - searchers. At the low end of mathematical sophistication, some provide usable f- mulas in a recipe fashion. At the high end there are research monographs on speci?c topics and books with an emphasis on theoretical analysis. In between there are a few textbooks with one common feature: all of them require an ad

Overview: There have been many significant microbiological, biochemical and technological advances made in the understanding and implementation of anaerobic digestion processes with respect to industrial and domestic wastewater treatment. Elucida­ tion of the mechanisms of anaerobic degradation has permitted a greater control over the biological parameters of waste conversion and the technical advances achieved have reduced the time and land area requirements and increased the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the various processes presently in use. By­ product recovery in the form of utili

Overview: Making a diagnosis when something goes wrong with a natural or m- made system can be difficult. In many fields, such as medicine or electr- ics, a long training period and apprenticeship are required to become a skilled diagnostician. During this time a novice diagnostician is asked to assimilate a large amount of knowledge about the class of systems to be diagnosed. In contrast, the novice is not really taught how to reason with this knowledge in arriving at a conclusion or a diagnosis, except perhaps implicitly through ease examples. This would seem to indicate that many of the ess

Overview: First international study on the work of Arsyad al Banjari Including bilingual translations of relevant texts from the Banjaresse.Crucial insights into the development of Islamic argumentation theory This book provides an epistemological study of the great Islamic scholar of Banjarese origin, Syeikh Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari (1710-1812) who contributed to the development of Islam in Indonesia and, in general, Southeast Asia. The work focuses on Arsyad al-Banjari’s dialectical use and understanding of qiyās or correlational inference as a model of parallel reasoning or analogy in Isl

Overview: Battered and bruised by injuries (often self-inflicted) sustained in the first half of the twentieth century since 1950 sociology in Australia has fought its way back into the academic mainstream. This has not been easy; its fortunes seem forever mixed – good in some places and dismal in others. But it has proved itself resilient, it is a survivor.978-1-137-37975-7Series ISSN 2947-5023 Series E-ISSN 2947-5031

Overview: In 1878 Alexandre Ribot assumed his place at the left-center of the French Chamber of Deputies. From here he began a lifelong effort to establish a moderate republic based upon his conception of liberal political values. The time seemed propitious to instill lofty purpose into French political life, for his entry into the Chamber coincided with the consolidation of the republican regime following the crisis of 16 May. But the first wave of republican anti-clericalism revealed the fragility of Ribot‘s hopes. During the next forty years, successive dramatic phases in republican history
