Overview: Wavelet methods have become a widely spread tool in signal and image process­ ing tasks. This book deals with statistical applications, especially wavelet based smoothing. The methods described in this text are examples of non-linear and non­ parametric curve fitting. The book aims to contribute to the field both among statis­ ticians and in the application oriented world (including but not limited to signals and images). Although it also contains extensive analyses of some existing methods, it has no intention whatsoever to be a complete overview of the field: the text would show to

Overview: Covers photoprotection over multiple scales from the molecule to the ecosystem.Includes a broad range of disciplines, e.g. photophysics, biochemistry, molecular genetics, physiology, ecology, and evol.Harnessing the sun’s energy via photosynthesis is at the core of sustainable production of food, fuel, and materials by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Photosynthesis depends on photoprotection against intense sunlight, starting with the safe removal of excess excitation energy from the light-harvesting system, which can be quickly and non-destructively assessed via non-photochemical

Overview: .The three-volume set of LNCS 12532, 12533, and 12534 constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Neural Information Processing, ICONIP 2020, held in Bangkok, Thailand, in November 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.. The 187 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 618 submissions. The papers address the emerging topics of theoretical research, empirical studies, and applications of neural information processing techniques across different domains. The second volume, LNCS 12533, is organized in topical sect

Overview: Cryogenics is an emerging technology filled with promises. Many cryogenic systems demand the use of nonmetallics and composites for adequate or increased performance. Thermal and electrical insulations, potting for superconducting magnets‘ mechanical sta­ bility, and composite structures appear to be some of the most significant applications. Research on nonmetallics at cryogenic temperatures has not progressed to the degree of research on metals. Nor can room temperature research be extrapolated to low tempera­ tures; most polymers undergo a phase transformation to the glassy state

Overview: First book to describe specific nursing knowledge and approaches required in the field of Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer care.Provides a framework and practical advice on development and implementaThis book describes and explains how caring for adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYA) has developed into what is now a recognized and distinct field of nursing practice. It captures current innovative nursing practices and interventions which have developed over the past 25 years across the globe and are supported by research and evidence achieved in many European and internatio

Overview: Sciences may be nowadays grouped into three classes, having as their subjects of study respectively Matter, Life and Intelligence. That "Intelligence" may be studied in a quantitative manner is a discovery of our age, not less significant in many ways than the 17th ceiltury realization that celestial phenomena are of one and the same nature as terrestrial and all other physical accidents. As the latter was accomplished through and accompanied by a major revolution in philosophy and method, so is now the scientific investigation of intelligent phenomena - although harely begun - alrea

Overview: Highly recommendable as a comprehensive introduction to the modern Nevanlinna theory.The last chapter is closely related to Kodaira’s remarkable last paper.Recently, this lecture note was cited as a rThis book deals with the classical theory of Nevanlinna on the value distribution of meromorphic functions of one complex variable, based on minimum prerequisites for complex manifolds. The theory was extended to several variables by S. Kobayashi, T. Ochiai, J. Carleson, and P. Griffiths in the early 1970s. K. Kodaira took up this subject in his course at The University of Tokyo in 1973

Overview: Offer new theoretical insights in neighbourhood effects..Provides new research findings from a range of counties and data sources.Integration of interdisciplinary perspectives.Over the last 25 years a vast body of literature has been published on neighbourhood effects: the idea that living in more deprived neighbourhoods has a negative effect on residents’ life chances over and above the effect of their individual characteristics. The volume of work not only reflects academic and policy interest in this topic, but also the fact that we are still no closer to answering the question of
