Fifty years ago, a new approach to reaction kinetics began to emerge: one based on mathematical models of reaction kinetics, or formal reaction kinetics.

This book outlines a possible future theoretical perspective for systemics, its conceptual morphology and landscape while the Good-Old-Fashioned-Systemics (GOFS) era is still under way.

This book traces the development of the science of fetal and neonatal physiology and examines its role in the greatly improved care of women and their newborn infants. Includes reminisces of several dozen individuals who played a vital role in the field.

This book develops the theory of multivariable analysis, building on the single variable foundations established in the companion volume, Real Analysis: Foundations and Functions of One Variable.

Written to accompany a one- or two-semester course, this text combines rigor and wit to cover a plethora of topics from integers to uncountable sets. It teaches methods such as axiom, theorem, and proof through the mathematics rather than in abstract isolation.

Some of the central topics in number theory, presnted in a simple and concise fashion. All the topics are presented in a refreshingly elegant and efficient manner with clever examples and interesting problems throughout. The text is suitable for a graduate course in analytic number theory.

Written in an engaging style that renders complex concepts accessible to a wide readership, and with more than 450 exercises, this textbook introduces the basics of real analysis as well as more advanced topics such as measure theory and Lebesgue integration.

This book on focuses on the work of Ferdinand Frobenius in linear algebra, its relationship with the work of Burnside, Cartan, and Molien, and its extension by Schur and Brauer. Also covers the Berlin school of mathematics and the guiding force of Weierstrass.

Mumford is a well-known mathematician and winner of the Fields Medal, the highest honor available in mathematics. Many of these papers are currently unavailable, and the commentaries by Gieseker, Lange, Viehweg and Kempf are being published here for the first time.

This book primarily covers the general description of foodborne pathogens and their mechanisms of pathogenesis, control and prevention, and detection strategies, with easy-to-comprehend illustrations.

This book offers physiology teachers a new approach to teaching their subject that will lead to increased student understanding and retention of the most important ideas.

This second edition textbook offers an expanded conceptual synthesis of microbial ecology with plant and animal ecology. When it was published in 1991, the first edition of Comparative Ecology of Microorganisms and Macroorganisms was unique in its attempt to clearly compare fundamental ecology across the gamut of size.

I can recommend it unconditionally... Elena Prestini... has taken one major mathematical idea, that of Fourier analysis, and chased down and described a half dozen varied areas in which Fourier analysis and the FFT are now in place.

The latter pertains to the question whether hydrodynamics is applicable to small systems, such as deuteron-gold collisions, and whether the quark-gluon plasma can be formed in those small-system collisions.

This is the third edition of a well-known classic on ultrafast nonlinear and linear processes responsible for supercontinuum generation. and supercontinuum in XUV and X-rays for attosecond pulses. The Supercontinuum Laser Source is a definitive work by one of the discoverers of the white light effect.

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 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.
