Overview: For many years I have been interested in computer chess and have collected almost every learned paper and article on the subject that I could find. My files are now quite large, and a considerable amount of time, effort and expense has been required to build up this collection. I have often thought how difficult it must be for many computer chess enthusiasts to acquire copies of articles that they see referenced in some other work. Unless one has access to a good reference library, the task is almost impossible. I therefore decided to try to make available, in one volume, as many as

Overview: Introduces the classification of carbon-based materials followed by describing in detail the various synthetic methods.Proves useful in gaining an understanding of recent developments in the synthesis.This book delves into the incredible potential of carbon-based nanomaterials to solve critical ecological problems. Over the last few decades, substantial research has been conducted on the design and development of advanced nanomaterials for efficient energy storage, wastewater treatment, and antibacterial activities. Carbon-based materials have drawn increasing attention owing to thei

Overview: Questions the place of competency based interpretations of education within learning.Highlights the limitations of competency based education and training across a variety of contexts.Suggests alterna.This book radically counters the optimism sparked by Competence Based Education and Training, an educational philosophy that has re-emerged in Schooling, Vocational and Higher Education in the last decade. CBET supposedly offers a new type of learning that will lead to skilled employment; here, Preston instead presents the competency movement as one which makes the concept of human lear

Overview: Deepens the readers’ understanding of biology, sex and gender by going beyond popular conceptions.Offers a critique of conventional understandings of sex and gender.Demonstrates that current research .This edited volume challenges popular notions of sex, gender and biology and features international, trans-disciplinary research. The book begins with an exploration of supposedly ‘natural’ sexual differences, then looks at research in evolutionary biology and examines topics such as gender stereotypes in humans..The first chapters explore important questions: What are the fundamental s

To understand the meanings ofmasculinity/masculinities and relationalities as critical concepts in genderstudies it takes a wide theoretical grip that spans over several researchfields. From a feminist

Overview: Features a detailed treatment of constrained problems.Covers exponential semi-Markov decision processes.Includes various unpublished results and illustrates the theory with new solved examples.Introdu.This book offers a systematic and rigorous treatment of continuous-time Markov decision processes, covering both theory and possible applications to queueing systems, epidemiology, finance, and other fields. Unlike most books on the subject, much attention is paid to problems with functional constraints and the realizability of strategies..Three major methods of investigations are prese

Overview: This and the author‘s three previous books, are interrelated in their notions of practical morality and education, and the common conclusion focuses not on moral delinquency or intractability, but rather on the human capacity for improvement through appropriate education.978-1-349-19375-2

Overview: This two-volume set (CCIS 873 and CCIS 874) constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium, ISICA 2017, held in Guangzhou, China, in November 2017. The 101 full papers presented in both volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 181 submissions. This second volume is organized in topical sections on swarm intelligence: cooperative Search, swarm optimization; complex systems modeling: system dynamic, multimedia simulation; intelligent information systems: information retrieval, e-commerce platforms; artificial intelligence and robotics: query

Overview: The impetus for this book is twofold. First, in response to the well­ documented oil shocks of the 1970s there arose a resurgence of research activity in the synthetic fuels area. This book attempts to capture some of the leading edge advances which have been made over the past decade in the area of the chemistry of coal conversion. The second driving force behind this book is to jog people‘s memories about the fundamental truths of the energy industry, i. e. , there IS a finite amount of liquid hydrocarbons on and under the earth‘s surface, most of the easy to find, produce, and use

Overview: Christian Berndt investigates how selected corporate actors in German small and medium-sized enterprises and in large companies respond to globalisation and the apparent crisis of the German model. By exploring the role of economic and non-economic factors in shaping business strategies he argues that, rather than simply being formal opposites, forces of dynamic change and irrational persistence are intertwined.978-1-349-42269-2978-0-230-50828-6

Overview: Highlights the application of viscoelastic equations and principles on constructional viscoelastic composite materials.Presents practical codes and models to make the contents easier to follow and app.Viscoelasticity is a complicated theorem that is generally used in several aspects of material characterization and modeling of polymers, resins, fiber-reinforced composites, bituminous composites, etc. On the other hand, the heterogeneous nature of composites like asphalt concrete and fiber-reinforced polymers has motivated lots of researchers to investigate the mechanical and rheologi

Overview: A new reference book for copula-based stochastic models in quantitative finance.An up-to-date account about recent developments in copula-based financial models.Includes supplementary material: .Copulas are mathematical objects that fully capture the dependence structure among random variables and hence offer great flexibility in building multivariate stochastic models. Since their introduction in the early 1950s, copulas have gained considerable popularity in several fields of applied mathematics, especially finance and insurance. Today, copulas represent a well-recognized tool for

Overview: The last few years have seen enormous progress in terms of our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical cancer (particularly with respect to the role of human papillomaviruses), and this has opened up new avenues for prevention. Additionally, there have been further refinements of existing technologies for cervical cancer control. To read about the state of the art on cervical cancer, health professionals have to locate individual articles and reviews of specific topics. In recognition of this, we propose to produce a book that will bring together in one place revie

It offers appropriate financial, institutional, and policy frameworks that can help to sustain agricultural growth and augment farmers’ incomes across geographical locations. Further, it addresses agricultu

Overview: Presents cutting-edge research findings from experts in the field of concrete structures.Helps engineers to design concrete structures that are safer and more economical.Will inform the development of.This book gathers 23 papers by top experts from 11 countries, presented at the 3rd Houston International Forum: Concrete Structures in Earthquake. Designing infrastructures to resist earthquakes has always been the focus and mission of scientists and engineers located in tectonically active regions, especially around the “Pacific Rim of Fire” including China, Japan, and the USA.

Overview: Written by an internationally renowned authority in the field, the founder of the highly regarded School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University, the book draws heavily on research done on three Continents: North America, Europe and Australia, to trace the discipline‘s historical evolution, its current problems, disappointing achievements, and promising trends. It concludes with a prospective look at the future of criminology and criminology of the future. Although the perspective is critical, the author‘s critique is constructive and he expresses a healthy optimism about the disci
