Overview: Addresses how and why four India-Pakistan conflicts in the last two decades have been resolved without major war or use of nuclear weapons, and whether this "ugly stability" will continue.Develops rea.This book examines the theory and practice of nuclear deterrence between India and Pakistan, two highly antagonistic South Asian neighbors who recently moved into their third decade of overt nuclear weaponization. It assesses the stability of Indo-Pakistani nuclear deterrence and argues that, while deterrence dampens the likelihood of escalation to conventional—and possibly nuclear—war,

Overview: Presents latest results in Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization.Biological and natural processes have been a continuous source of inspiration for the sciences and engineering. For instance, the work of Wiener in cybernetics was influenced by feedback control processes observable in biological systems; McCulloch and Pitts description of the artificial neuron was instigated by biological observations of neural mechanisms; the idea of survival of the fittest inspired the field of evolutionary algorithms and similarly, artificial immune systems, ant colony optimisation

Upon introducing the basic theory of chaotic laser, a novel light source, the book summarizes new frontier technologies, and presents photonic integration and sensing applications. The book elaborates on new technologies of dis

Overview: An outstanding characteristic of the nervous system is that neurons make selective functional contacts. Each neuron behaves as if it recog­ nizes the neurons with which it associates and rejects associations with others. The specific interneuronal relationships that result define the innate neuronal circuits that determine the functioning of this system. The purpose of this volume is to present some approaches to the problem of neuronal recognition. The volume has been somewhat arbitrarily divided into three sections. In the first section, the overrid­ ing theme is the degree of spec

Overview: Provides recent developments in the nanosensor field and its applications.Well illustrated volume for easy understanding of key information.Textbook-like presentation of the basic principles, methods Nanosensors enable us to specifically detect pollutants that can adversely affect the quality of life. This book covers the design, application and safety aspects of nanomaterial-based sensors. The focus is on nanosensors useful for application in Environment, Food and Agriculture. It discusses in detail the advances in nanosensor design and application. It also emphasizes on the strateg

Overview: Based on articles first published in Refresh (Recent Findings in Economic and Social History), this volume provides succinct updates for students and lecturers alike on the key topics studied in economic and social history. All the articles are written in a clear and readable way, by leading historians. They analyse the problems and debates surrounding the issues under discussion, and introduce the new directions which research is taking.

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by.University of Bath, UK.Reports potentially important advances for transdermal drug delivery.Combines methods of physics, chemistry and materials science to .This work represents an inventive attempt to apply recent advances in nanotechnology to identify and characterise novel polymer systems for drug delivery through the skin. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements of the nanoscale mechanical properties of topical, drug-containing polymeric films enabled the author to identify optimal compositions, in terms of flexibility and substantiv

Overview: Deals with bioremediation which involves processes that reduce overall treatment cost through the application of agricultural residues.Includes supplementary material: .Current research revolves around trends to bring technology into harmony with the natural environment and in order to protect the ecosystem. Bioremediation involves processes which reduce the overall treatment costs by using agricultural residues. Regeneration of the biosorbent further increases the cost effectiveness of the process, thus warranting its future success in solving water quality problems. Special emphasi

Overview: Hintergrundinformationen für den praktisch tätigen BerechnungsingenieurDas Buch beschreibt die numerische Berechnung von Nichtlinearitäten in der Strukturmechanik, d.h. große Drehungen, große Dehnungen (geometrische Nichtlinearitäten), nichtlineares Materialverhalten, besonders Plastizität und zeitabhängiges Verhalten, und Kontakt. Darauf aufbauend werden auch.Stabilitätsprobleme und Traglastberechnungen behandelt. Dabei wird am Beispiel einfacher Systeme die Problematik erläutert, formelmäßig erfasst, in den Kontext der Finiten Elemente eingebunden und bis zum Dreidimensionalen vera

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, Networking 2010. Papers were solicited in three broad topic areas: applications and services, network technologies, and internet design. All papers were considered on their merits by a uni?ed Technical ProgramCommittee (TPC); there was no attempt to enforce a quota among topic areas. We believe the resulting program is an excellentrepresentationofthebreadthofrecentadvancesinnetworkingresearch. This year, the conference received 101 full paper submissions from 23 co- trieson?vecontinents,re?ectin
