Addresses paradoxes in the EU's foreign policy, and asks questions such as: how can the European Union's "power of attraction", combined with its operational weakness, be explained?; and can the EU remain a "civilian power" when coping with an "uncivilized" world?.

This work exmaines non-Kolmogorov probability models. It provides mathematical theory of negative probabilities with applications to quantum physics, information theory, complexity, biology and psychology. Natural models with negative probabilities are developed in the framework of p-adic analysis.

This volume concentrates on martingale approximations. Topics covered include: basic notions; semimartingales; inequalities; laws of large numbers; the central limit theorem; convergence of semimartingales; the rate of weak convergence; and applications of martingales.

This monograph deals with random forests and aims to show that, despite the outward simplicity of the forest graph design, the problems emerging in relation to the phenomenon are challenging, and their solution often requires subtle mathematical methods.

A collection of lectures on stochastic processes, which can be used in the preparation of courses in stochastic processes for which an understanding of basic notions of mathematical analysis, theory of complex functions, theory of differential equations and probability theory is required.

This work is devoted to stochastic operators in Hilbert space. A number of models in modern probability theory apply the notion of a stochastic operator in explicit or latent form. In this book, objects from the Gaussian case are considered.

This volume focuses on the synthesis of targeted polymers with specific properties using macromolecular architecture. Various controlled polymerization techniques such as ionic, metathesis and recently developed "living"/controlled polymerization and some of their combinations are covered.

The book is divided into four main sections: the first three are devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and the fourth to future missions and new technologies.

This monograph presents absorption spectra and absorptivity data in the wavelength range of 480 to 1000 nm of the major haemoglobin derivatives for human adult and foetal haemoglobin and for haemoglobin of several animals (cow, dog, horse, pig, rat, and adult and foetal sheep).

This handbook contains contributions from international experts in the field and should be of value and interest to a wide variety of professionals in the discipline of disaster medicine and management.

Biotic antioxidants possess an important potential to be a reliable basis of the development of new multipurpose drugs, within the framework of existing technological structures. This book shows approaches for possible use of these natural antioxidants.
