Overview: Provides researchers with the modeling and computational studies of physiology.Covers basic methodology, case practices and advanced applications.Sets a paradigm for quantitative physiology by integra.Stephen Hawking says that the 21st century will be the century of complexity and indeed now systems biology or medicine means dealing with complexity. Both the genome and physiome have emerged in studying complex physiological systems. Computational and mathematical modeling has been regarded as an efficient tool to boost the understanding about living systems in normal or pathophysiolo

Overview: The principal aim of this volume is to provide descriptions of Sites of Special Scientific Interest, selected as part of the Geological Conservation Review, that yield evidence for the Pleistocene history of the River Thames and its tributaries. Although defined thematically, the volume covers all Pleistocene GCR sites in the Thames valley. A number of sites in southern East Anglia are also included because they provide important evidence bearing on the history of the Thames system. The justification for a GCR volume devoted to the Thames lies in the special importance of the river i

The lectures and the subsequent updating cover a large spectrum of the subject on the field, from the algebro-geometric point of view, to the symplectic approach, including recent developments of string-branes theories and q-hypergeometric functions.978-3-540-43121-3978-3-540-45617-9Series ISSN 0075-8434 Series E-ISSN 1617-9692

Overview: Quantum Theory of Chemical Reactivity may be read without reference to the fact that it is actually the third of three volumes of a treatise on quantum chemistry, the science resulting from the implementation of mathematical laws in the realm of molecular populations. The first two volumes of the treatise, ‘Fondement de la Chimie Tbeorique‘ and ‘Structure Electrique des Molecules‘ were, like this third volume, originally published by Gauthier-Villars; Pergamon published the English translations of these two volumes. I am grateful to D. Reidel Publishing Company for translating the th

Overview: .Quantitative Corporate Finance is designed to be an advanced graduate corporate financial management textbook.

Overview: Teaches how to numerically calculate quantum mechanics problems.Supports self study by numerous exercises.Explains how to map the higher-rank tensor operations of general relativity onto the more wide.This book gives an introduction to quantum mechanics with the matrix method. Heisenberg‘s matrix mechanics is described in detail. The fundamental equations are derived by algebraic methods using matrix calculus. Only a brief description of Schrödinger‘s wave mechanics is given (in most books exclusively treated), to show their equivalence to Heisenberg‘s matrix  method. In the first pa

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .La scarsa qualità dei dati può ostacolare o danneggiare seriamente l’efficienza e l’efficacia di organizzazioni e imprese. La crescente consapevolezza di tali ripercussioni ha condotto a importanti iniziative pubbliche come la promulgazione del "Data Quality Act" negli Stati Uniti e della direttiva 2003/98 del Parlamento Europeo...Gli autori presentano un’introduzione completa e sistematica all’ampio insieme di problemi legati alla qualità dei dati. Il libro parte con una descrizione dettagliata di diverse dimensioni della qualità dei dati, come l’ac

Overview: Fast conference proceedings.State-of-the-art report.Up to date resultsThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness, QShine 2013, which was held in National Capital Region (NCR) of India during January 2013. The 87 revised full papers were carefully selected from 169 submissions and present the recent technological developments in broadband high-speed networks, peer-to-peer networks, and wireless and mobile networks.978-3-642-37948-2978-3-642-3

Overview: The Advanced Study Institute on "Quantum Dynamics of Molecules: The New Experimental Challenge to Theorists," which was sponsored by the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, was held at Trinity Hall, Ca~bridge, England from September 15th till September 29th, 1979. In all, a total of 79 lecturers and students attended the meeting: they had diverse backgrounds in chemistry, physics and mathematics. In my proposal to NATO requesting financial support for an Advanced Study Institute, I suggested that molecular physics was facing a qualitatively new experimental situation in which the ex

Overview: This book offers a concise review of quantum radar theory. Our approach is pedagogical, making emphasis on the physics behind the operation of a hypothetical quantum radar. We concentrate our discussion on the two major models proposed to date: interferometric quantum radar and quantum illumination. In addition, this book offers some new results, including an analytical study of quantum interferometry in the X-band radar region with a variety of atmospheric conditions, a derivation of a quantum radar equation, and a discussion of quantum radar jamming.This book assumes the reader is

Overview: Die einführende Quantenmechanik-Vorlesung im 4. oder 5. Semester legt die begrifflichen Grundlagen für die zumeist parallelen Vorlesungen zu Atom- und Molekül-, Kern- und Teilchenphysik, für die ganze Theorieausbildung und die "Allgemeinbildung" des Physikers. Aus dieser Sicht behandelt das vorliegende Lehrbuch nicht nur die Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik mit Sorgfalt, sondern auch zahlreiche ihrer Anwendungen. So kommt es zu einer nahezu vollständigen Darstellung der nichtrelativistischen Quantenmechanik ohne Feldquantisierung, die allein bei dem so wichtigen Abschnitt zur Quantisie

Overview: The operation of semiconductor devices depends upon the use of electrical potential barriers (such as gate depletion) in controlling the carrier densities (electrons and holes) and their transport. Although a successful device design is quite complicated and involves many aspects, the device engineering is mostly to devise a "best" device design by defIning optimal device structures and manipulating impurity profIles to obtain optimal control of the carrier flow through the device. This becomes increasingly diffIcult as the device scale becomes smaller and smaller. Since the introduc

Müssen wir uns nicht gerade heute dieser Fundamente versichern? Wer greift diese Fundamente an? Um diese Fragen beantworten zu können, nutzt der Autor ein Konstruktionsprinzip, mit dem die humanistischen Anstrengungen seit Petrarca in dreifacher Weise gerahmt werden: Zum einen werden diese Anstrengungen in
