Overview: Describes the explosively growing, active field of systems biology.A variety of approaches, including software development and simulation of software are discussed.Systems biology is defined for the purpose of this study as the understanding of biological network behaviors, and in particular their dynamic aspects, which requires the utilization of mathematical modeling tightly linked to experiment. This involves a variety of approaches, such as the identification and validation of networks, the creation of appropriate datasets, the development of tools for data acquisition and softwa

Overview: This book introduces and discusses the analysis of interacting many-body complex systems exhibiting spontaneous synchronization from the perspective of nonequilibrium statistical physics. While such systems have been mostly studied using dynamical system theory, the book underlines the usefulness of the statistical physics approach to obtain insightful results in a number of representative dynamical settings. Although it is intractable to follow the dynamics of a particular initial condition, statistical physics allows to derive exact analytical results in the limit of an infinite nu

Overview: As stated in the preface to the first edition, the goal of this monograph is to provide an overview of current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms responsible for sensory processing. We hope that the book will be of value to both basic neuroscientists and clinicians. The organization of the monograph has followed the original plan in most respects, although the emphasis has changed with respect to many topics because of recent advances. In particular, a substantial increase in the number of investigations of the dorsal root ganglion has led us to devote a chapter to this topic.

Overview: Staatsräson und Utopie stehen als zwei elementare Kategorien politischen Denkens im Zentrum dieses Buches. Das Wechselspiel zwischen beiden Positionen wird als eine für die deutsche politische Kultur insgesamt charakteristische Bewegungsform vorgestellt.978-3-476-01344-6978-3-476-03623-0

Overview: First book exploring the use of spatial microsimulation techniques for rural policy analysis.A rare example of a model built and used by one agency for a variety of socio-economic applications.A good The aim of this book is to explore the challenges facing rural communities and economies and to demonstrate the potential of spatial microsimulation for policy and analysis in a rural context.This is done by providing a comprehensive overview of a particular spatial microsimulation model called SMILE (Simulation Model of the Irish Local Economy). The model has been developed over a ten y

Overview: Presents a new dissipative effect that can be used for engineering applications of flow control and laminarization.Offers new analytical and numerical approaches to hydrodynamic stability problems.A s.This book presents an in-depth systematic investigation of a dissipative effect which manifests itself as the growth of hydrodynamic stability and suppression of turbulence in relaxing molecular gas flows. .The work describes the theoretical foundations of a new way to control stability and laminar turbulent transitions in aerodynamic flows. It develops hydrodynamic models for describin

Overview: Illustrates the tools of modelling in ecology and evolution for students and researchers in the field.Co-published jointly with mathematical biosciences institute.Top international authors in area of .In this contribution, several probabilistic tools to study population dynamics are developed. The focus is on scaling limits of qualitatively different stochastic individual based models and the long time behavior of some classes of limiting processes..Structured population dynamics are modeled by measure-valued processes describing the individual behaviors and taking into account the d

Overview: Well-publicised cases of child abuse have brought heavy media criticism of the social work role in prevention and child protection. This book attempts to bring a sense of perspective to allay the anxieties and fears felt by many social workers. The authors resist the idea that child abuse is a special ‘disease‘ and develop a broad based strategy encompassing both individual therapy and environmental approaches. ‘...Cooper and Ball‘s short introduction to child abuse in the Practical Social Work Series is a remarkable achievement in that it provides local authority social workers and

Overview: Provides new perspectives and methods for sequence analysis.Focusses on the link between sequence analysis and other methods for longitudinal data, especially event history analysis and Markov models..This open access book provides innovative methods and original applications of sequence analysis (SA) and related methods for analysing longitudinal data describing life trajectories such as professional careers, family paths, the succession of health statuses, or the time use. The applications as well as the methodological contributions proposed in this book pay special attention to th

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-52536-0978-3-642-52590-2

Overview: Resource Allocation lies at the heart of network control. In the early days of the Internet the scarcest resource was bandwidth, but as the network has evolved to become an essential utility in the lives of billions, the nature of the resource allocation problem has changed. This book attempts to describe the facets of resource allocation that are most relevant to modern networks. It is targeted at graduate students and researchers who have an introductory background in networking and who desire to internalize core concepts before designing new protocols and applications.We start fro

Overview: Until recently, the interpretation of data obtained in seismic exploration has been based on comparatively simple representations of the Earth. The most commonly used representation for the Earthhas been a set of thick layers, each characterized by a single value for the propa­ gation speed of seismic waves. During the last several years, more complicated representa­ tions in the form of thin layers with vertical velocity gradients, as weIl as homogeneous thin layers have been considered. New methods for studying propagation speeds in a medium, particularly ultrasonic logging methods
