This book is devoted to an account of theories of heat conduction where the temperature may travel as a wave with a finite speed. It surveys many of the theories which have been proposed as candidates to describe thermal motion as a wave.

This book covers how to use computer software to manufacture and test virtually semiconductor devices in 3D. It features a hands-on, tutorial approach that emphasizes real practice and includes extensive illustrations.

Written in the Socratic/Moore method, this book presents a sequence of problems which develop aspects in the field of semigroups of operators. The reader can discover important developments of the subject and quickly arrive at the point of independent research.

Drug courts, boot camps, day reporting and other judicial/correctional interventions mix social controls with treatment of addicted persons. This book offers strategies that affect adoption, implementation and sustainability in community correctional settings.

Through its scope and depth of coverage, this book addresses the needs of the vibrant and rapidly growing engineering fields, bioengineering and biomedical engineering, while implementing software familiar to engineers.

Rather than being a 'how to' manual for making computations, this book places primary importance on the mathematics. It covers number theory, calculus of one and several variables, linear algebra, and visualization and interactive geometric computation.

This introductory text on quantum field theory and particle physics provides both a self-contained and complete introduction to not only the necessary physical ideas, but also a complete introduction to the necessary mathematical tools.

This book provides a coherent and concise pedagogical exposition of biotransport that includes the domains of fluid, heat and mass flows, and offers appropriate supporting materials for students and teachers.

Learning curves have been documented in various organizations, in both the manufacturing and service sectors. This book describes and integrates the results of research on factors explaining organizational learning curves and the persistence and transfer of productivity gains acquired through experience.

This book rejects the simple equation of capitalism with markets in favor of a three-level system -- a model that recognizes markets are administered by regulators through institutions, and governed by a political authority with the power to regulate behavior, punish transgressors, and redesign institutions.

Ecosystem ecology sees living organisms, including people and the elements of their environment, as part of a single integrated system. The comprehensive coverage in this textbook examines the central processes at work, including their freshwater components.

Exploring essential concepts in vibration analysis of mechanical systems, this text synthesizes the required mathematics, experimental techniques, fundamentals of model analysis, and beam theory into a unified framework accessible to undergraduate students.

Symmetry is an ideal topic for a one-semester math course for non-math majors, particularly in the humanities. This text encourages effective analytical thinking and exposes students to elegant mathematical ideas, with a number of visually expressed examples.

Contract Research and Development Organizations provides a how-to guide for all aspects of working with CROs. The text focuses on in selection and workflow aspects to ensure the best possible outcome of outsourcing the R&D function.

This book provides a readable description of a technique, developed years ago but still current, for proving that solutions to certain (non-elliptic) partial differential equations only have real analytic solutions when the data are real analytic (locally).

Here is an easy-to-use resource covering over 1,000 food ingredients and additives, including natural ingredients, FDA-approved artificial ingredients and compounds used in food processing. Definitions cover functionality, chemical properties and applications.

This book provides an account of the strides taken to increase the synthetic accessibility of donor-acceptor mechanically interlocked molecules by the application of efficient and ultra mild chemical transformations during their template-directed synthesis.

NanoBiosensing covers the full scope of the field, combining the newest research results in chemistry, biology, and materials science with biosensing and bioanalysis. The text covers important types of nanomaterials for biosensing applications, as well as sensing principles.

Based on the work of Piaget and Neo-Piagetians, and exploring other major models in development, this multidisciplinary book sets forth a new model of development from a causal perspective. The text geared to multiple levels and multiple audiences.

Written by a physiologist and a food engineer, this book focuses in detail on what happens when the food is actually digested. How is the food absorbed? Do the benefits remain? This is the first book of its type for food researchers.

This book is based on the premise that changes in family structure require changes in methods of representation, assessment, research, and teaching. This book introduces such a method in the form of a model named the affinograph.

These peer-reviewed papers collated by the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) have a wealth of practical guidance on appropriate testing of food processing environments, processing lines, shelf-life and products.

As the size of data sets grows ever larger, the need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever. This book introduces super learning and the targeted maximum likelihood estimator, and discusses complex data structures and related applied topics.

Does economics conform to the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics? This important and fascinating tour of these laws and their influence on natural, technological, and social evolution uses them to analyze economic growth in Germany, Japan and the USA.

This leading text on modeling of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data using nonlinear mixed effects models uses a building block approach. It starts from linear models and then moves up to generalized linear and non-linear mixed effects models.

Summarizing the work of several decades, this book culminates in a revolutionary model of recent human evolution. It challenges current consensus views fundamentally, presenting in its support a mass of evidence, much of which has never been assembled before.

This book offers current methods, software and applications involved in weighted networks, reviewing data mining methods and analysis strategies and showing how to use them in practice. The self-contained presentation requires minimal knowledge of statistics.

This book provides axioms of partial order and some basic material, for example consequences of criss-crossing of data profiles, the role of aggregations of the indicators and the powerful method of formal concept analysis.

This book examines some of the most fundamental and outstanding questions in nanoscience from a theoretical computational perspective. It features interdisciplinary applications for chemistry, physics, and materials science.

This book explores not only the challenges facing African American girls, but also the strengths and resiliencies used to meet them. Salient issues of self and identity are addressed, and crucial domains such as relationships and expectations are examined.
