Overview: There has been much demand for the statistical analysis of dependent ob­ servations in many fields, for example, economics, engineering and the nat­ ural sciences. A model that describes the probability structure of a se­ ries of dependent observations is called a stochastic process. The primary aim of this book is to provide modern statistical techniques and theory for stochastic processes. The stochastic processes mentioned here are not restricted to the usual autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) processes. We deal with a wide variety o

Overview: This book arose out of a number of different contexts, and numerous persons have contributed to its conception and development. It had its origin in a project initiated jointly with the IBM Cambridge Scien­ tific Center, particularly with Dr. Rhett Tsao, then of that Center. We are grateful to Mr. Norman Rasmussen, Manager of the IBM Scientific Center Complex, for his initial support. The work is being carried on at Brown University with generous support from the Office of Computing Activities of the National Science Foundation (grants GJ-174 and GJ-7l0); we are grateful to Dr. John

Overview: New technologies constantly generate new demands for exotic materials to be used in severe environments. The rapid developments of aerospace industries during the last two decades have required new materials to survive extreme high and low temperatures and various radiations. The exploration of new energy sources, e.g., solar and geothermal, has led us to develop new solar collectors and geothermal devices. Even the search for new oils has demanded that we study the corrosive environment of oil fields. In the telecommunication industries, optical fibers have been adopted broadly to r

Overview: Includes supplementary material: ‘The sturgeon they sent was second grade fresh,‘ said the barman. ‘Really, what nonsense/‘ ‘Why nonsense?‘ ‘"Second grade fresh" that‘s what I call nonsense/ There‘s only one degree of freshness the first, and it‘s the last) (M. A. Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita) The goal of this book is to describe in detail how Feynman integrals can be expanded in suitable parameters, when various momenta or masses are small or large. In a narrow sense, this problem is connected with practical calcula tions. In a situation where a given Feynman integral depends

Overview: This book examines this contested relationship between assessment and autonomy from a number of perspectives in a variety of Higher Education language-learning contexts in Europe and the Far East. The contributors to the book describe research into assessment both for and as autonomy, as well as approaches to the assessment of autonomy itself.978-1-349-49026-4978-1-137-41438-0

Overview: This fifth volume in the immensely popular series introduces new topics of Midwifery Practice and revisits some topics already discussed in previous volumes. The accessible chapter structure remains the same and a broad range of research themes are presented across the three stages of midwifery practice.The guiding philosophy behind this series is to present research topics within the context of clinical practice and in this volume the editors have put together a subject range which will be of interest to all practicing midwives and students.

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on A?ective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2005) held in Beijing, China, on 22–24 October 2005. Traditionally, the machine end of human–machine interaction has been very passive, and certainly has had no means of recognizing or expressing a?ective information. But without the ability to process such information, computers cannot be expected to communicate with humans in a natural way. The ability to recognize and express a?ect is one of the most important features of - man beings. We therefore expec

Overview: Provides a multidisciplinary study on the use of variational mechanics.To the modeling of vortex-induced oscillations.Contributes to the theoretical studies of flow-oscillator modelsThis self-contained book provides an introduction to the flow-oscillator modeling of vortex-induced bluff-body oscillations. One of the great challenges in engineering science also happens to be one of engineering design – the modeling, analysis and design of vibrating structures driven by fluid motion.  .The literature on fluid–structure interaction is vast, and it can be said to comprise a large fractio

Overview: In this single square mile hemmed in by White areas, residents engaged in what is arguably the most multi-faceted, inventive, and versatile strategy of resistance during the 1970s. Apartheid on a Black Isle brings to the fore the definitive but underappreciated role that Alexandra played in advancing human rights. Using their manufactured space, Alexandrans revolutionized the South African freedom struggle by fertilizing the underground movement, by joining in solidarity with Soweto during the student uprising and by finding unique ways to grieve. This book explores and introduces or
