This book covers the theoretical basis and mathematical modeling of sound, especially undesirable sounds produced by aircraft, such as engine noise from propellers, fans, combustion chamber and jets, external surface noise and sonic booms. Offers problem sets.

This book comprehensively covers several hundred functions or function families. In chapters that progress by degree of complexity, it starts with simple, integer-valued functions then moves on to polynomials, Bessel, hypergeometric and hundreds more.

Mori's Program is a fusion of the so-called Minimal Model Program and the IItaka Program toward the biregular and/or birational classification of higher dimensional algebraic varieties. This is the first book in this extremely important and active field of research and will become a key resource for graduate students wanting to get into the area.

"Visual Quantum Mechanics" uses the computer-generated animations found on the accompanying material on Springer Extras to introduce, motivate, and illustrate the concepts explained in the book.

This textbook on Linear and Nonlinear Optimization is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in operations research and related fields.

This volume, both comprehensive and accessible, introduces all the key concepts in pattern recognition, and includes many examples and exercises that make it an ideal guide to an important methodology widely deployed in today's ubiquitous automated systems.

During the expedition about 6 scientists spent up to three months at an altitude of 5800 m studying the effects of this very high altitude on human physiology. Because of his interests in the effects of gravity on the lung, Dr. West spent a year at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California in 1967-1968.

This atlas illustrates the range of breast lesions with detailed correlation of gross and microscopic features. As immunohistochemistry is a key adjunctive tool in the workup of breast lesions as well as used in prognostic evaluation of breast cancers, appropriate examples are interspersed among the lesions where pertinent.

This book combines clinical wisdom and empirical data to illuminate the psychological, social and existential aspects of cancer, and to offer a framework for empathic, patient-centered care. Covers stress, pain, fatigue and other factors in long-term illness.

This comprehensive book provides a synthesis of the theory and practice of photonic devices for networks-on-chip. It outlines the issues in designing photonic network-on-chip architectures for future many-core high performance chip multiprocessors.

This book is the one of the first to address aid effectiveness as a political and comparative economics question. Using the case of European Union aid in the post-Soviet transition, it shows why formal modeling and analysis of qualitative data are useful.

Emphasizing kinematics and mechanics of growth, this book presents the state of knowledge in morpho-elasticity, providing a rigorous foundation and offering a set of mathematical tools for the analysis of specific problems arising in biology.

The book addresses all caregivers who attend dying patients: doctors, nurses, chaplains, clergy in the pastorate, social workers, clinical psychologists, family caregivers, and others.

This book explores the historical and archaeological evidence of the relationships between a coastal community and the shipwrecks that have occurred along the southern Australian shoreline over the last 160 years.

This book reveiws the last two decades of computational techniques and progress in the classical theory of quadratic diophantine equations. Presents important quadratic diophantine equations and applications, and includes excellent examples and open problems.

This graduate-level textbook is primarily aimed at graduate students of statistics, mathematics, science, and engineering who have had an undergraduate course in statistics, an upper division course in analysis, and some acquaintance with measure theoretic probability.

This textbook for courses on function data analysis and shape data analysis describes how to define, compare, and mathematically represent shapes, with a focus on statistical modeling and inference.

This book precisely formulates and simplifies the presentation of Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) compilation techniques.

As such, the book provides comprehensive information on comparative renal functionfor biological scientists and advanced students of biology with some knowledgeof physiology and a desire to know more about renal function in vertebrates,and for mammalian renal physiologists who wish to obtain a broader view ofrenal function.

This book covers the main ideas, methods, recent developments and applications of quantum-limit optical spectroscopy to quantum information, resolution spectroscopy, measurements beyond quantum limits, measurement of decoherence and entanglement.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the operating principles and technology of electron lenses in supercolliders. Electron lenses are a novel instrument for high energy particle accelerators, particularly for the energy-frontier superconducting hadron colliders, including the Tevatron, RHIC, LHC and future very large hadron colliders.

Moreover, the text is useful for mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who want to learn finance via an approach that builds their financial intuition and is explicit about model building, as well as business school students who want a treatment of finance that is deeper but not overly theoretical.
