This is the first comprehensive textbook on sustainable energy. It includes study problems, illustrative examples, case studies, practical applications, and a solutions manual for faculty. This research-based textbook also includes some cutting-edge topics.

Bioinformation Discovery illustrates the power of biological data in knowledge discovery. It describes biological data types and representations with examples for creating a workflow in bioinformation discovery. Concepts are illustrated using line diagrams.

In 1987, E.O. Wilson and B.F. Skinner had a conversation about sociobiology. This book uses that conversation as a springboard to a more integrated view of behaviorism and sociobiology. It includes introductory essays by Wilson and Skinner's daughter.

This book introduces a cutting-edge mathematical formalism based on the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to describe how punctuated shifts in mesoscale ecosystems can entrain patterns of gene expression and organismal evolution.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic, disabling, often lifelong condition affecting millions worldwide. This book creates a practical knowledge base for GAD and thoroughly reviews the range of established and cutting-edge treatments.

This book provides an up-to-date treatment of the foundations common to the statistical analysis of network data across the disciplines. The material is organized according to a statistical taxonomy, although the presentation balances concepts and mathematics.

As a text that reflects the history of how these subjects interrelate, and illuminates the robust dialogue that still accompanies it, this book's elegant, accessible coverage ranges from early psychological critiques of religion to constructivist philosophies.

While there have been a large number of estimation methods proposed and developed for linear regression, none has proved good for all purposes. This text focuses on the construction of an adaptive combination of two estimation methods so as to help users make an objective choice and combine the desirable properties of two estimators.

Other features include a chapter introducing functional analysis, the Hahn-Banach theorem and duality, separation theorems, the Baire Category Theorem, the Open Mapping Theorem and their consequences, and unusual applications.

Intended as a rigorous first course, the book introduces and develops the various axioms slowly, and then, in a departure from other texts, continually illustrates the major definitions and axioms with two or three models, enabling the reader to picture the idea more clearly.

This book also represents an introduction to numerical functional analysis with applications to the Ritz method along with the method of finite elements, the Galerkin methods, and the difference method.

Point processes and random measures find wide applicability in telecommunications, earthquakes, image analysis, spatial point patterns, and stereology. This volume relates to marked point processes and to processes evolving in time, where the conditional intensity methodology provides a basis for model building, inference, and prediction.

This is a substantially updated, extended and reorganized third edition of an introductory text on the use of integral transforms. Emphasis is on the development of techniques and the connection between properties of transforms and the kind of problems for which they provide tools.

This book explores weak convergence theory and empirical processes and their applications to many applications in statistics. Part two offers the theory of empirical processes in a form accessible to statisticians and probabilists.

By giving a detailed account of bootstrap methods and their properties for dependent data, this book provides illustrative numerical examples throughout.

This book is one of the first to cover SAT-solvers and how they can be used in cryptanalysis. It includes chapters on finite field linear algebra and the equicomplexity of matrix operations.

This volume provides detailed information about colorectal procedures. Each procedure is presented in a two-page atlas spread that provides a complete case study using text, operative and diagnostic images and beautifully rendered anatomic line drawings.

Here is a complete guide to preparing a variety of specimens for the scanning electron microscope and x-ray microanalyzer. Specimens range from inorganic, organic, biological, and geological samples to materials such as metals, polymers, and semiconductors.

This book is devoted to an entirely new direction of the magnetoelectronics of millimetric waves in layered structures containing epitaxial ferrite films. End of chapter references provide additional background information on the topics discussed.

Subcortical Structures and Cognition is written for maximum clinical applicability, making it important practical reading. It is the first book to discuss the cognitive and emotional aspects of subcortical pathology at the level of clinical neuropsychology.

Goro Shimura is one of the world's greatest mathematicians, and this book details his life and the strange world of the math community. It also describes life in Japan during WWII and includes Shimura's opinions on world events and human nature.

With a different focus to other texts on the subject, this book discusses developing enteral foods from natural sources, and shows how to prepare them. Among other things, the book fills a gap in the literature by discussing the history of enteral nutrition.

This volume describes in detail what disciplined personal involvement is and how it is administered. The book was written during a current four-year national clinical trial sponsored by NIMH involving 910 chronically depressed outpatients being treated at eight sites in the U.S.

This text sets forth a theory of behavioral archaeology for understanding the relationship between people and things. Six case studies form the core of the book, and provide examples of how the theory can be applied to a range of artifacts and people.

This exposition of generalized measure theory unfolds systematically. It begins with preliminaries and new concepts, followed by a detailed treatment of important new results regarding various types of nonadditive measures and associated integration theory.

This clearly written text is the first book on unitals embedded in finite projective planes. It provides a thorough survey of the research literature on embedded unitals. The book is well-structured with excellent diagrams and a comprehensive bibliography.

The text explores the concept of innovation, and analyses and compares the different dimensions of innovation found in the case studies presented. It also discusses the anticipated changes to the education profession at a system level, in the coming decade.

Covering at an advanced level the most fundamental concepts and methods in fuzzy logic applications to studying neural cell behavior, this book examines motivation and awareness from a physiological and biochemical perspective, illustrating fuzzy mechanisms.

Speaker Recognition is a popular new technology that can authenticate voices over the phone. This comprehensive text covers the basics and the latest developments of this technology and includes examples and exercises at the end of each chapter.

This first book to introduce the fundamentals of biometrics; it covers common modalities including fingerprint, face, iris, hand geometry, signature and voice. Exercises help readers gain experience in designing computer programs for biometric applications.
