Overview: Includes supplementary material: the solution or its gradient. These new discretization techniques are promising approaches to overcome the severe problem of mesh-generation. Furthermore, the easy coupling of meshfree discretizations of continuous phenomena to dis­ crete particle models and the straightforward Lagrangian treatment of PDEs via these techniques make them very interesting from a practical as well as a theoretical point of view. Generally speaking, there are two different types of meshfree approaches; first, the classical particle methods [104, 105, 107, 108] and second,

Overview: Addresses ontologies of artefact kinds in engineering practice.Offers practical as well as theoretical implications.Presents important developments in both formal ontology and ontology engineering?.This book is concerned with two intimately related topics of metaphysics: the identity of entities and the foundations of classification. What it adds to previous discussions of these topics is that it addresses them with respect to human-made entities, that is, artefacts. As the chapters in the book show, questions of identity and classification require other treatments and lead to other

Overview: Part I gives a detailed, self-contained and mathematically rigorous exposition of classical conformal symmetry in .n. dimensions and its quantization in two dimensions. The conformal groups are determined and the appearence of the Virasoro algebra in the context of the quantization of two-dimensional conformal symmetry is explained via the classification of central extensions of Lie algebras and groups. Part II surveys more advanced topics of conformal field theory such as the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra, conformal symmetry within string theory, an axiomatic approac

Overview: Easy-to-read and accessible for professionals and laypeople.Comprehensive overview of allergy pathophysiology.Written by leading expert in the field.This easy-to-read title provides a comprehensive discussion of the major changes in daily life that have led to states of increased bodily inflammation.  Indeed, today there is an epidemic of allergic and autoimmune disease in the first and developing world.

Overview: Latest research in Information Technology and Industry Applications.Edited outcome of the 2011 Second International Conference of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE 2011).December 24-25, 20.With success of ICEEE 2010 in Wuhan, China, and December 4 to 5, 2010, the second International Conference of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE 2011) will be held in Macau, China, and December 1 to 2, 2011. ICEEE is an annual conference to call together researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research

Overview: The development of a new antiarrhythmic drug involves many people with disparate skills. The organic chemist who makes it is guided not only by the structure-action relations of previous compounds, but by anticipation of a requirement for a particular type of action. In fact several of the best-known antiarrhythmics, including lidocaine, mexiletine, amiodarone and verapamil, were originally synthesized for other purposes. Physicians have to determine whether the new drug works, and pharma­ cologists how it works. For some years I have believed that there was room for a work which cou

Overview: Analyzes major literary works of Middle Eastern artists and their political context.Explores the relation between arts and politics in the Middle East and North African region.Actively engages with reThe book aims to explore the foresight of prominent Middle Eastern authors and artists who anticipated the Arab Spring, which resulted in demands for change in the repressive and corrupted regimes. Eventually, it led to cracking down on the protests with excessive force, which caused tremendous human suffering, destruction, and also escalation of extreme insurgency. The author analyzes m

Overview: Is the first to offer a general theory of specifically philosophical fallacies.Uses real, historical examples by way of illustration that are analyzed by means of the theory.Tackles uniquely arguments.Presented as a Vorlesung in the German philosophical tradition, this book presents the most detailed account of Nelson’s method of argument analysis, celebrated by many luminaries such as Karl Popper. It was written in 1921 in opposition to the relativistic, subjectivistic and nihilistic tendencies of Nelson’s time. The book contains an exposition of a method that is a further developme

Overview: A new up-to-date synthesis of the political, social and economic evolution of Britain from 1885 to 1939. Based on the latest historical scholarshipThe period between 1885 and 1939 was a pivotal half century in British history, in which the Victorian political system yielded to a system far more recognisably modern, in response to popular pressure for social reform and the implications of global superpower status. Dr Davis relates these political developments to the background of social and economic change and to the consequences of Britain‘s position as an imperial power. Drawing ext

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The Internet is spawning many new markets and electronic commerce is changing many market conventions. Not only are old commercial practices being adapted to the new conditions of immediacy brought forth by the global networks, but new products and services, as well as new practices, are beginning to appear. There is already ample evidence that agent-based technologies will be crucial for these - velopments. However many theoretical, technological, sociological, and legal - pects will need to be addressed before such opportunities become a significant

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Electronic Commerce, as a gamut of activities involving electronic transactions performed over a network via software that may be more or less autonomous, is an emerging reality. Strategic studies have shown that electronic commerce is a major growth industry. .The book is devoted to the challenges and opportunities that electronic commerce opens for agent technology. For some time, electronic commerce has attracted the avid attention of agent-builders and agent technology researchers, and these have decisively contributed to advancing the state of th
