Overview: Arithmetical concepts rendered understandable for the target audience.Complete with all necessary supporting calculationsWe start with a fun puzzle in mathematics and mathematical methods. How many corners does a four-dimensional cube have? Does such a thing exist, you ask? You may be a geoscientist or a philosopher. If your answer is: there are surely more than the eight corners there are for a three-dimensional cube, you are an engineer. If you know without hesitation that there are exactly sixteen corners and you can prove why, you are a mathematician. To explain the goal of this

Overview: Recently, there has been interest by regulators, the public andthe manufacturers of wireless devices in the issues relating to thesafety of radio frequency (RF) energy. These issues require anunderstanding of the scientific underpinnings of both physics of RFenergy and cellular biology. This book is designed to provideprecisely such cross-functional expertise. The editors of this bookintend to provide a reliable source for a sound scientificunderstanding of the issues and to stimulate future scientificadvances in this area. Therefore, the audience for this book includessuch diverse g

Overview: While ion-exchange processes were originally used for the treatment of very dilute solutions, many applications for the treatment of concentrated solu­ tions have been developed in recent years. In these situations, the mass­ transfer bottlenecks are located in the~, rather than the liquid phase. Therefore, the development of quantitative models for ion-exchange kinetics requires knowledge about the conductance characteristics of ions and solvent in the solid phase. A useful approach towards this aim is the study of trans­ port characteristics of these species, and of their interacti

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The previous conference in this series (AMTA 2002) took up the theme “From Research to Real Users”, and sought to explore why recent research on data-driven machine translation didn’t seem to be moving to the marketplace.
