Overview: Accessible study of the early modern philosophers dispute on Scientia.Philosophers surveyed : Spinoza, Hobbes, Descartes, Gassendi, Locke and Jungius.Through top contributors a must-read for everybody.Scientia is the term that early modern philosophers applied to a certain kind of demonstrative knowledge, the kind whose starting points were appropriate first principles. In pre-modern philosophy, too, scientia was the name for demonstrative knowledge from first principles. But pre-modern and early modern conceptions differ systematically from one another. This book offers a variety of

Overview: First monograph to offer a unified and comprehensive treatment of Sobolev maps to the circle.Explores surprising connections with other areas of mathematics, such as optimal transport, geometric measuThe theory of real-valued Sobolev functions is a classical part of analysis and has a wide range of applications in pure and applied mathematics. By contrast, the study of manifold-valued Sobolev maps is relatively new. The incentive to explore these spaces arose in the last forty years from geometry and physics.  This monograph is the first to provide a unified, comprehensive treatment

Overview: First single volume book to describe how to satisfy safety goals by modern reliability engineering.Focuses on the quantitative aspects of the international standards using a methodological approach.Ca.Safety is an important issue today. International standards such as ISO and IEC advocated goal-based procedures of designing safer systems. This assumes safety goals are explicitly established...This book is a methodological approach to the goal-based safety design procedure that will soon be an international requirement. Case studies illustrate the methodologies presented. The book: pr

Overview: The ultrasound velocity tomography allows measurement of cardiac geometries for various phases in the cardiac cycle. The present tomograph makes reconstruc­ tions at intervals of 20 ms. Because of a lack of clear (intramural) landmarks (except the roots of the papillairy muscle), it is difficult to pinpoint spatial trajectories of particular points in the heart. Therefore, a second method was developed of injecting radiopaque markers in the heart and following their motion patterns during the cardiac cycle with help of a biplane X-ray equipment. The data obtained with both methods ca

Overview: Describes efficient and practical data structure and dynamics simulation algorithms for structure-varying kinematic chains, which have not yet appeared in literature.This book focuses on two issues related to human figures: realtime dynamics computation and interactive motion generation. In spite of the growing interest in human figures as both physical robots and virtual characters, standard algorithms and tools for their kinematics and dynamics computation have not been investigated very much. ."Simulating and Generating Motions of Human Figures". presents original algorithms to si

Overview: Explores electromagnetic phenomena in superconductivity.Gives a theoretical proof of irreversibility in superconductivity.Written by a researcher with more than 40 years of experience in the fieldThis book introduces readers to the characteristic features of electromagnetic phenomena in superconductivity. It first demonstrates not only that the diamagnetism in the superconductivity complies with Maxwell’s theory, which was formulated before the discovery of superconductivity, but also that the dominant E-B analogy in the electromagnetism loses perfection without the superconductivity

Overview: The author has attempted to present a book that provides a non-technical introduction into the area of non-parametric density and regression function estimation. The application of these methods is discussed in terms of the S computing environment. Smoothing in high dimensions faces the problem of data sparseness. A principal feature of smoothing, the averaging of data points in a prescribed neighborhood, is not really practicable in dimensions greater than three if we have just one hundred data points. Additive models provide a way out of this dilemma; but, for their interactiveness
