This book presents the basis for reusing the test vector generation and simulation for the purpose of implementation verification, to result in a significant timesaving. It brings the results in the direction of merging manufacturing test vector generation and verification.

Despite the necessity for information on allocating dwindling resources, resource-allocation behavior is not nearly so well understood as choice behavior. This book answers the question of how people make such decisions while explaining how linear programming can be applied within the context of resource-allocation.

This history recounts the first 150 years of psychology. It situates the dynamic school in its catalytic place in history, reevaluates misunderstood figures and events, revisits the rift between clinical and experimental study, and covers other major topics.

This reference on static timing analysis for semiconductors proceeds from simple to complex and covers such topics as cell timing and power modeling, delay calculation and crosstalk. Each topic includes theoretical background and detailed examples.

The product of an original study that followed inmates who participated in a prison-based therapeutic community, this book describes the challenges faced by rehabilitated addicts and their journey to freedom - from drugs as well as further criminal activity.

The etiology of infantile spasms/West syndrome remains unknown; the pathophysiology is poorly understood and the optimal course of treatment is controversial. This volume aims to assess aspects of the disorder, and provide the reader with a guide to the efficient means for establishing the diagnosis, formulating an appropriate treatment plan.

Dorothy Wertz and John Fletcher pioneered the first international study of ethical and social issues in genetics in 18 nations.

The basic ideas, however, are also applicable to integral equations, integrodifferential equations, and even to_difference equations.

Adolescent Reputations and Risk looks beyond traditional theories to examine, from an empirical standpoint, what makes some young people choose antisocial over positive behavior, resulting in potent new insights and possible solutions to this ongoing problem.

This comprehensive text discusses both the classical approach to vibration and the modern approach through dynamical systems theory. It includes modernized notation, recent developments in the field, case studies and problems set for students.

This handbook will guide practitioners and tax directors through the complex maze of transfer pricing. It describes current transfer pricing methods and regulations, proposes alternative approaches, and discusses ten case studies in elaborate detail.

This book describes developments in methods of neuropsychological assessment feedback that involve active collaboration with patients in an open exchange of information and results. The authors are expert clinical practitioners and academic researchers.

This fascinating book proposes a sound and realistic exploration on the topic of terraforming. The book presents what is physically possible today and hints what might conceivably be put into practice in the next several hundred years.

Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid-derived lipid mediators facilitate the transfer of messages between cells as well as between subcellular organelles. This book gives readers a comprehensive description of their involvement in neurological disorders.

This, the first book to narrate what is a complex and inspiring history, traces the development of Brazil's AIDS treatment policies during the country's tumultuous path to democracy, as its government redefined access to health care as a basic right.

The ability of DNA to exist in configurations other than its classical double-stranded form has been known for many years. Interest in triple-helical nucleic acids has been greatly stimulated by their potential exploitation to control gene expression, serve as tools in genome mapping strategies, etc.

Beginning with an overview of electronic packaging, this insightful book discusses the various adhesives options currently available, including lead-free solder and ECAs (Electrically Conductive Adhesives).

This book describes the emergent nature of human culture, based on the human ability to create and pass on social codes through instruction and example. It proposes hypotheses to explain how a phenomenon that is potentially maladaptive for individuals could have evolved, and to explain why culture plays such a pervasive role in human life.

With a Foreword by Ken Yeang

In addition to its description of the chemistry and technology of base oils, additives and applications of liquid lubricants, this third edition reflects the chemical and technological development of lubricants since the first edition was published in 1992.

The book deals mainly with three problems involving Gaussian stationary processes. The second problem mentioned above is closely related with problems involving ergodic theory of Gaussian dynamic systems as well as prediction theory of stationary processes.

Analysis of Computer and Communication Networks provides the basic techniques for modeling and analyzing two of the fundamental components of high performance networks: switching equipment, and software employed at the end nodes and intermediate switches.

In this excellent text, the reader is given a comprehensive introduction to the field of DNA computing. The book emphasizes computational methods to tackle central problems of DNA computing, such as controlling living cells, building patterns, and generating nanomachines.

Written in a provocative, witty, and highly accessible style, this is not only a splendid general introduction to the central questions of consciousness and brain science, but also an answer to some of them.

George Dantzig is widely regarded as the founder of this subject with his invention of the simplex algorithm in the 1940's. In this second volume, the theory of the items discussed in the first volume is expanded to include such additional advanced topics as variants of the simplex method;

This heavily illustrated book comprehensively covers all essential areas of basic synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. It also describes the basic reaction mechanisms while accounting for modern concepts such as stereoelectronic principles.

As a basic introduction to the subject for practitioners, this text will also be of interest to researchers looking for references that are not part of their subject area, focusing on materials and techniques useful for making integrated circuits.

Pierre-Simon Laplace is remembered among probabilitists for his "Theorie analytique des probabilites", published in 1812. This is a translation, providing a commentary by the translator including histographical and mathematical remarks and various proofs.
