Overview: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been used for a decade in psychiatric research to study regional brain glucose metabolism, and the results seem to be inconsistent. However, the inconsistency may be explained by differences in methods and clinical protocols. This problem has been recognized by the EEC Concerted Action on PET, which is why a special psychiatric group was convened. Researchers with knowledge in different aspects of PET methodology like mathematical models, cameras, brain atlas, stimulaton studies and psychiatric research organized a meeting to discuss standardiza

Overview: "Solitons and Chaos" is a response to the growing interestin systems exhibiting these two complementary manifestationsof nonlinearity. Thepapers cover a wide range of topics butshare common mathematical notions and investigationtechniques. An introductory note on eight conceptsofintegrability has been added as a guide for the uninitiatedreader.Both specialists and graduate students will findthis update on the state ofthe art useful.Key points: chaos vs. integrability; solitons: theory andapplications; dissipative systems; Hamiltonian systems; mapsandcascades; direct vs. inverse metho

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Charles University in Prague.Presents tractable models of realistic, experimentally relevant situations.Includes a comprehensive literature survey.Resul.This thesis both broadens and deepens our understanding of the Brownian world. It addresses new problems in diffusion theory that have recently attracted considerable attention, both from the side of nanotechnology and from the viewpoint of pure academic research. The author focusses on the difussion of interacting particles in restricted geometries and under externally controlled force

Overview: Broadens reader understanding of plant physiology.Equips readers with current information to deal with plant nutrition in polluted environments.Written in a clear manner by experts in the fieldGlobal industrial growth has resulted in numerous pollutants being introduced into the environment. It has additionally caused decreased water availability for agricultural activity in developing countries, which, in turn, has compelled farmers to use wastewater irrigation. .In advanced agricultural systems, farmers are adapting various strategies to achieve a higher yield and thus sustain crop

Overview: Presents the current status of smart learning in China from different domains – the digital campus, smart classroom, cooperative university, and industry – on the basis of survey data..Equips readers .This book introduces readers to the current status of smart learning in China by providing extensive and accurate data from different contexts of smart learning. In particular, it investigates smart learning in smart cities, which extends the concept of smart learning to cover both formal and informal learning, and to support life-long learning..With digital technologies and the Interne

The spatial and spatio-temporal prediction of these parameters are important for the scientific community, and the semantic kriging (SemK) and its variants facilitate different types of prediction and forecasting, such as spatial and spatio-tempo

Overview: Dieses Lern-und übungsbuch vermittelt das grundlegende Wissen über die Funktions­ prinzipien der Strömungs-und Kolbenmaschinen. Dies geschieht so einfach und ver­ ständlich wie möglich, aber ohne unzulässige Vereinfachungen vorzunehmen. Die Bearbeitung der Themen erfolgte unter Beachtung der folgenden Prinzipien: • Verdeutlichung der in der Maschine zur Anwendung kommenden physikalischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten, • Erläuterung der Maschine als Instrument zur Umsetzung dieser physikalischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten für die praktische Nutzung, • Festlegung der Kriterien für die Beurteilung einer Mas

Overview: Highlights the latest achievements in research on social mentality from a social psychology perspective.Discusses the concept and theoretical framework of social mentality.Analyzes the structure of soThis book not only seeks to theoretically analyze the concept, chief characteristics and framework of “social mentality”, but also explores the influence of social mentality on such elements of social functioning as individuals, groups, societies, markets and countries, and the influence of such elements as cultural, social, economic, political and mental factors on social mentality. Bes

Overview: The third edition of this reference book for statistical researchers and advanced graduate students provides an introduction to Edgeworth and saddlepoint expansion limit theorys and a survey of recentThis book was originally compiled for a course I taught at the University of Rochester in the fall of 1991, and is intended to give advanced graduate students in statistics an introduction to Edgeworth and saddlepoint approximations, and related techniques. Many other authors have also written monographs on this s- ject, and so this work is narrowly focused on two areas not recently disc

Overview: Includes section of use of small millet grains in baby food.Discusses the factors that make this nutrition dense grain a superfood.Includes chapter on the present global scenario of millet consumption.This book discusses the various aspects of the health and nutritional benefits of the wonder grains, small millets. It introduces the readers to the historical use of small millet grains in the diet of humans. It further discusses the consumption and strategies to improve the global production of these nutrient-dense grains. The book outlines how the inclusion of small millet as a stapl

Overview: Design for security is an essential aspect of the design of future computers. However, security is not well understood by the computer architecture community. Many important security aspects have evolved over the last several decades in the cryptography, operating systems, and networking communities. This book attempts to introduce the computer architecture student, researcher, or practitioner to the basic concepts of security and threat-based design. Past work in different security communities can inform our thinking and provide a rich set of technologies for building architectural

Overview: .Statistical Physics II. introduces nonequilibrium theories of statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications.978-3-540-53833-2978-3-642-58244-8Series ISSN 0171-1873 Series E-ISSN 2197-4179
