Overview: This book is a revision of Random Point Processes written by D. L. Snyder and published by John Wiley and Sons in 1975. More emphasis is given to point processes on multidimensional spaces, especially to pro­ cesses in two dimensions. This reflects the tremendous increase that has taken place in the use of point-process models for the description of data from which images of objects of interest are formed in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. A new chapter, Translated Poisson Processes, has been added, and several of the chapters of the fIrst edition have been

Overview: South America is one of the few areas of the world that includes vast areas of as yet undisturbed natural habitats. These areas are home to as many as half the world‘s species of plants and animals. Many of the animals inhabit­ ing these areas are of direct and immediate economic importance, while others are of unknown potential value. With economic development of these areas, there is a coincident disruption of natural habitats that have a direct impact on the reproductive capabilities of the affected species. Re­ production is central to the survival of all species and, regardless

Overview: Interdisziplinäre Diskussion eines in den Sozialwissenschaften zentralen Begriffes: Resilienz.Resilienz als sozialer Prozess.Prominent besetzter SammelbandDas Konzept „Resilienz“ erfährt seit einigen Jahren in der Soziologie eine bemerkenswerte Resonanz.

Overview: Presents comprehensive information about rabies and its prevention.It successfully bridges the gap between the mysticism and ignorance that surrounds rabies and the hard fact that it is one of the mosRabies is the deadliest zoonotic disease that threatens humans and animals on all continents except Antarctica. Asia and Africa are worst affected as more than 95 per cent of rabies associated human deaths occur in these regions. India alone bears about 36 per cent of the global human rabies burden. Dogs are the main transmitters of rabies that potentially threaten over 3 billion people

Overview: Identifies factors that generate the demand for regional institutions and shape its institutional design.Provides a comprehensive overview of regional democracy, human rights, and rule of law.ExploresThis book explores when, why, and how regional organizations adopt and design institutions to promote and protect fundamental standards of democracy, human rights, and rule of law in their member states. These regional institutions have spread globally. While their institutional designs have become increasingly similar over time, regional particularities persist. The book identifies fact

Overview: Covers a new paradigm of system modeling – the robust control-oriented linear fractional transformation.Describes application of the proposed methodology in a variety of advanced mechatronic systems.S.This book covers a new paradigm of system modeling – the robust control-oriented linear fractional transformation (LFT) modeling. A dynamic system expressed in LFT modeling framework paves the way for the application of modern robust controller design technique like μ-synthesis method for controller design. This book covers the generalized robust control-oriented LFT modeling representa

Overview: If an ion in a crystal is replaced by an impurity ion with a different charge, compensation for the charge difference must be accomplished. This is usually done by an intrinsic defect, i. e. a lattice vacancy or interstitial host ion, in such a way to balance the excess or deficit of charge. The introduction of cation vacan­ cies along with divalent cation impurities in alkali halides is a familiar example. If these crystals are carefully annealed, nearly all of the compensating defects migrate to the impurity ions to form impurity-defect complexes. It is the behavior of these comple

Overview: Covers a range of themes from community development‘to collaborative and participatory governance.Includes case studies on tourism, small business agriculture, waterways, coastal and fisheries managem.This book provides an overview of interdisciplinary approaches that have applied social science to research focused on issues around food, agriculture and natural resource management. The book demonstrates that those who work in rural sociology either as researchers or practitioners apply community development and participatory techniques to socio-environmental interaction. The book dis

Overview: Describes useful tools for promoting the development of transplant immunology and microsurgical techniques.Provides step-by-step illustration of surgical procedures in mouse and rat.Enhances the trans.This book introduces transplantation in rodents as useful tools used in studying transplant immunobiology. Several solid organs (kidney, heart, liver) transplant models in rodents are described in this book. It can help surgical quality and save surgical time. The first part of the book provides a review of rodent transplant tolerance induction, the role of gender and body-weight in rod

Overview: Films and television dramas about the Second World War have always been popular. Written by acknowledged experts in the field, this collection offers challenging, sometimes controversial, insights into how the popular memory of the Second World War has been ‘re-pictured‘ since 1989, which marked the sixtieth anniversary of the start of the war.978-1-349-28081-0978-0-230-59258-2

Overview: Biosynthesis of cellular and viral DNA and RNA has been a major topic in molecular biology and biochemistry. The studies by Arthur Kornberg and his colleagues on the in-vitro synthesis of DNA have opened new avenues to understanding the processes controlling the duplication of the genetic information encoded in the DNA and RNA of bacterial and mammalian cells. Viral nucleic acids are replicated in infected cells (bacterial, plant, and animal) by virus­ coded enzymes with or without the involvement of proteins and enzymes coded by the host cells. The ability of the virus to replicate
