Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Durham University, UK.Presents measurement of the largest negative group index to date.Gives quantitative comparisons between experimental results and theorThe propagation of light in ‘dense media‘ where dipole-dipole interactions play a role is a fundamental topic that was first studied in the work of Clausius, Mossotti, Lorenz and Lorentz in the latter half of the nineteenth century. However, until recently there remained some areas of controversy: for example, whereas the Lorentz model for a gas predicts a resonance shift, a discrete dip

Practical advice is given on possible plant layout and design. Safety-related as well as product-specific designs are pointed out and

Overview: Much of the material in this book comes from what I‘ve learned as I‘ve traveled around the country conducting seminars about working profitably in the automated office. During the first few months of those seminars, there was a question I was asked more often than any other single question. I wa~ asked the question so often that I gave it a nickname. I called it my "What The Devil" question. Often in different words, usually at the morning break in the seminar, and almost always with an effort not to offend or embarrass, I was asked, "What the devil is a psychologist doing conducting

Overview: Provides extensive coverage of the latest research and novel solutions being developed in the field of multi-agent systems (MAS).Contributing authors are leaders in the multi-agent and multi-robot com.Challenges arise when the size of a group of cooperating agents is scaled to hundreds or thousands of members. In domains such as space exploration, military and disaster response, groups of this size (or larger) are required to achieve extremely complex, distributed goals. To effectively and efficiently achieve their goals, members of a group need to cohesively follow a joint course of

Overview: Paves the way towards a cognitive psychodynamic approach.Integrates insights from the cognitive behavioural tradition, the psychodynamic approach and cognitive neuroscience to provide a coherent theor.This book proposes a novel method of combining the current approaches to counselling and psychotherapy into one coherent framework. The authors argue that the cognitive behavioural tradition (largely focused on thought patterns) and the psychodynamic approach (centred on the client’s experience and relationships), can be successfully integrated with insights from cognitive neuroscience,

Overview: The world’s top experts describe systems approaches to cancer research and application.Is uniquely organized to unify all aspects from laboratory to clinic.Demonstrates how systems approaches build up.This teaching monograph on systems approaches to cancer research and clinical applications provides a unique synthesis, by world-class scientists and doctors, of laboratory, computational, and clinical methods, thereby establishing the foundations for major advances not possible with current methods.  Specifically, the book: 1) Sets the stage by describing the basis of systems biology a

Overview: Provides a single-source reference to correct-by-construction SoC design.Focuses on system-level verification.Enables optimized design cycles, with techniques to reuse IP blocks reliably.Uses realistiThis book describes an approach for designing Systems-on-Chip such that the system meets precise mathematical requirements. The methodologies presented enable embedded systems designers to reuse intellectual property (IP) blocks from existing designs in an efficient, reliable manner, automatically generating correct SoCs from multiple, possibly mismatching, components.978-1-4899-8639-997

Overview: ETH lecture notes based on a course held in summer 2000.Unique collection of materialThese notes had their origin in a postgraduate lecture series I gave at the Eid­ genossiche Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zurich in the Spring of 2000. I am very grateful to my hosts, the Forschungsinstitut fUr Mathematik at ETH, for providing the ideal opportunity to develop and present this material in what I hope is a reasonably coherent manner, and also for encouraging and assisting me to record the proceedings in these lecture notes. The subject of the lecture series was counting (of combinator
