Overview: This monograph reviews some of the work that has been done for longitudi­ nal data in the rapidly expanding field of nonparametric regression. The aim is to give the reader an impression of the basic mathematical tools that have been applied, and also to provide intuition about the methods and applications. Applications to the analysis of longitudinal studies are emphasized to encourage the non-specialist and applied statistician to try these methods out. To facilitate this, FORTRAN programs are provided which carry out some of the procedures described in the text. The emphasis of mo

Overview: Affords insights into the underlying model behind Newton’s sensorium concept.Furthers understanding of both Isaac Newton and key developments in seventeenth century science.Calls certain assumptions i.These chapters analyze texts from Isaac Newton’s work to shed new light on scientific understanding at his time. Newton used the concept of “sensorium” in writings intended for a public audience, in relation to both humans and God, but even today there is no consensus about the meaning of his term. The literal definition of the Latin term ‘.sensorium.‘, or its English equivalent ‘sensor

Overview: The approach in this book is direct and simple. The author deals only with nerve block for the .most common. pain syndromes that the average practitioner will encounter frequently. This option is highly effective, but often not used simply because oral analgesics and anti-inflammatories are more familiar methods. The clear writing style leads step-by-step to the appropriate nerve block procedure. The author also discusses succinctly practical psychological issues of pain, placebos, etc.978-0-387-97147-6978-1-4613-8950-7

Overview: Gives an insight into Non-Profit-Maximizing Behavior in Supply Chain Management.Challenges the common assumption of a selfish homo economicus via three studies.The book is aimed at scholars and graduaNon-profit-maximizing behavior in supply chain management focuses on the human component in supply chain management. It develops behavioral models that consider individual and social preferences of supply chain members in order to improve our understanding of actual decision-making in supply chain management..The author challenges the common assumption of a selfish homo economicus and in

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Deryn Watson and Jane Andersen Editors INTRODUCTION The role of a Preface is to introduce the nature of the publication. The book that emerges from an IFIP Technical Committee World Conference on Computers in Education is complex, and this complexity lies in the nature of the event from which it emerges. Unlike a number of other major international conferences, those organised within the IFIP education community are active events. A WCCE is unique among major international conferences for the structure that deliberately ensures that all attendees are

Overview: From the research results and discussions presented in thisbook it becomes clear that a profound understanding of the variousinterrelationships of the nutritional aspects allows theimplementation of specific management strategies to improve stabilityand productivity of forest ecosystems. In particular the effects ofenvironmental changes as related to the impacts of air pollution,global change and land use on nutrient uptake and cycling processes inforest ecosystems are dealt with in detail. The book is divided intosix main issues and each topic contains reviews as well as selectedres

Overview: Provides an extensive introduction to nuclear engineering with numerous applications in power engineering, homeland security, health physics, radiation treatment and imaging, radiation shielding syste.Nuclear engineering plays an important role in various industrial, health care, and energy processes. Modern physics has generated its fundamental principles. A growing number of students and practicing engineers need updated material to access the technical language and content of nuclear principles..."Nuclear Principles in Engineering, Second Edition" is written for students, engineer

Overview: Shows the researcher and practising engineer how to use time-series forecasting to help integrate intermittent sources of renewable power into the grid.Teaches students the essentials of applied time-.This brief is a clear, concise description of the main techniques of time series analysis —stationary, autocorrelation, mutual information, fractal and multifractal analysis, chaos analysis, etc.— as they are applied to the influence of wind speed and solar radiation on the production of electrical energy from these renewable sources. The problem of implementing prediction models is add

Overview: Advances the practices associated with third wave HCI.Demonstrates how humanities and social science disciplines can contribute to the innovation of new technologies.First extensive compilation of exp.As the first extensive exploration of contemporary third wave HCI, this handbook covers key developments at the leading edge of human-computer interactions. Now in its second decade as a major current of HCI research, the third wave integrates insights from the humanities and social sciences to emphasize human dimensions beyond workplace efficiency or cognitive capacities. The earliest

Overview: This book, the first to provide a comprehensive overview of all studies so far carried out with this second-generation calcium entry blocker, Nisoldipine, is the fruit of a- day conference. In the first part the essential data on its experimental and clinical pharmacology are summarised by outstanding research workers in this field. The second part contains work concerning the major action of the drug, namely its effect in reducing vasomotor tone. The third part deals with intravenous or oral administration. From these data a clear profile develops, which is effective in angina pecto

Overview: This volume of scientific papers is dedicated with gratitude and esteem to Ronald Rivlin and is offered as a token of appreciation by former students, col­ laborators, and friends. Ronald Rivlin‘s name is synonymous with modem developments in contin­ uum mechanics. His outstanding pioneering theoretical and experimental re­ ·search in finite elasticity is a landmark. From his work there has followed a spate of developments in which he played the leading role-the theory of fiber-rein­ forced materials, the developments of the theory of constitutive equations, the theory of materials w
