This is the latest edition of the ultimate collection of challenging probems from The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) of high-school-level mathematics problems. This volume collects 143 new problems, picking up where the 1959-2004 edition left off.

Here is a comprehensive overview of data extraction through image analysis. The book has an in-depth examination of single camera models, two- and three-dimensional computer vision, and single camera, multiple camera, and volumetric digital image correlation.

This book offers an introduction to harmonic analysis on the simplest symmetric spaces. It places an emphasis on motivation, concrete examples, history, and, above all, applications in mathematics, statistics, physics, and engineering.

The final two chapters consist of a more intensive look at group theory, emphasizing orbit stabilizer methods, and an introduction to linear algebraic groups, which enriches the notion of a matrix group. Applications involving symmetry groups, determinants, linear coding theory and cryptography are interwoven throughout.

The growing complexity of the design process for systems on chip (SOCs) allows the use of more demanding computing languages, with a principle goal being verification at a higher level of abstraction. This book focuses on these high-level verification methods.

This book describes the essentials of radio frequency identification (RFID)systems as well as their target markets. It provides a comparative analysis of commercially off the shelf RFID systems and emphasizes the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Emphasizing prevention as well as intervention, this text clearly defines PTSD, explains its adverse affects on children's academic and social-emotional skills, and offers expert guidance on how to recognize student needs and provide appropriate services.

This three-part book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to these challenging topics such as model calibration, parameter estimation, reliability assessment, and data collection design.

The Showa Era in Japan commenced in December 1926, when Emperor Showa ascended the Throne, and came to an end in January 1989, when His Majesty passed away, ushering in the new Heisei Era.

In this book, I attempt to show how colonial and postcolonial political forces have endeavoured to reconstruct the national identity of Morocco, on the basis of cultural representations and ideological constructions closely related to nationalist and ethnolinguistic trends.

This book attempts to explain why and how humans behave much like atoms in some aspects of their collective lives. The authors then suggest ways that this knowledge could serve as the key to a dramatic leap forwards in social freedom in the real world.

This multidisciplinary review of signaling pathways that regulate circulatory and respiratory function focuses on those involved in cell signaling, from sensors and receptors on the cell surface to intracellular effectors that trigger molecule synthesis.

Throughout the training and careers of psychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and neuropsychologists, there are many errors and misconceptions that can diminish the quality of evaluations. This book offers guidelines and materials to help identify, understand, and avoid some of these problems.

This book outlines a framework for exploring research ethics at different levels; the empirical settings of research; theoretical perspectives; and the methodological issues and practical decisions that constitute the activity as research.

This in-depth view of varied aspects of power electronic packaging systematically introduces design, assembly, reliability and failure analysis and materials selection, as well as covering the most advanced simulation and modeling techniques in the field.

This book offers definitive coverage of the sea beet, the wild ancestor of all cultivated beets, which grows mainly on Mediterranean shores. The editors have collected both scientific and historical source material, illustrations and references.

Covers a range of applications using modern parametric and nonparametric econometric techniques related to the behavioural and welfare analysis of consumption. This book places emphasis on the treatment of demographic characteristics and the interpretation of their effects both in demand and welfare analysis.

This fully updated new edition of the classic work on information theory presents a detailed analysis of Shannon-source and channel-coding theorems, before moving on to address sources, channels, codes and the properties of information and distortion measures.

This book covers adaptive mesh generation and moving mesh methods for solving time-dependent PDEs. It gives a general description of the components of moving mesh methods as well as examples of their application for a number of nontrivial physical problems.

This book demonstrates how two universally conserved guanosine triphosphatases in the signal recognition particle and its membrane receptor maintain the efficiency and fidelity of the co-translational protein targeting process essential to all cells.

This book offers a comprehensive approach to advanced thermal management in electronic packaging, including the fundamentals of heat transfer, component design guidelines, materials selection, cooling, characterization, processing and manufacturing and more.

Universal navigation is accessible primarily through smart phones. This book provides navigation technologies and systems for both outdoor and indoor navigation. It compares navigation systems from both a technological stand point and user's perspective.

Simulation-Based Optimization: Parametric Optimization Techniques and Reinforcement Learning introduces the evolving area of simulation-based optimization. Broadly speaking, the book has two parts: (1) parametric (static) optimization and (2) control (dynamic) optimization.

With the latest advances in shielding technology come questions about techniques, approaches and economic benefits. This single-source volume has the answers professionals need. This complete, up-to-date reference guide covers the fundamentals of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and cable shielding.

This mathematically rigorous survey of the special theory of relativity also details the physical significance of that mathematics. In addition to kinematics, particle dynamics and electromagnetic fields it treats subjects usually bypassed at elementary level.

This book explores connections between control theory and geometric mechanics. The author links control theory with a geometric view of classical mechanics in both its Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, and in particular with the theory of mechanical systems subject to motion constraints.

This fresh edition, substantially revised and augmented, provides a unified, in-depth, readable introduction to the multipredictor regression methods most widely used in biostatistics. The examples used, analyzed using Stata, can be applied to other areas.

This book addresses the growing problem of non-suicidal self-injury among young people, offering educators a practical framework for earlier, more accurate diagnosis; consultation with parents, teachers, and colleagues; and effective, science-based treatment.
