This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the globalhealth impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ambient air,conducted on the basis of a high-resolution emission inventory, global chemicaltransport modeling, and probabilistic risk assessment.

This thesis focuses on the seismic response of piles in liquefiable ground. Lastly, it studies axial pile force and settlement during post-earthquake reconsolidation, showing pile axial force to be irrelevant in the reconsolidation process, while settlement is process dependent.

This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real causal powers.

Newly added and updatedtopics in this second edition include zonal flows, various versions of H modes,and steady-state operations of tokamak, the designconcept of ITER, therelaxation process of RFP, quasi-symmetric stellator, and tandem mirror.

This book offers a decision making procedure to help managers in companies, non-profit organisations and public administration solve problems. It focuses on problem analysis, on developing solution options and on establishing the decision making matrix.

This book covers the topics of theoretical principles, dynamics model and algorithm, mission analysis, system design and experimental studies of space nets system, aiming to provide an initial framework in this field and serve as a ready reference for those interested.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy, biology, sedimentation, and carbonate geochemistry of modern species. The biology of planktic foraminifers is extensively discussed in chapters dedicated to the cellular ultrastructure, nutrition, symbionts, reproduction, ontogeny, and test architecture.

This book presents Markov and quantum processes as two sides of a coin called generated stochastic processes. It deals with quantum processes as reversible stochastic processes generated by one-step unitary operators, while Markov processes are irreversible stochastic processes generated by one-step stochastic operators.

Giving a unified view of quantum information theory, the second edition explains the mathematical basis, merges topics from information-theoretic and quantum-mechanical viewpoints and explains the basic results, aiming to clarify, for example, quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum state transmission and quantum encryption.

The main theme emerging in Arnold's work of this period is the development ofsingularity theory of smooth functions and mappings.Thevolume also contains papers by V.I. Arnold's lectures on bifurcations of discretedynamical systems, as well as a review by V.I.

The main goal of this book is to present the methods used to calculate the most important parameters for ropes, and to explain how they are applied on the basis of numerous sample calculations.

This book answers the call for NewUrbanization, and proposesa "5+9+6" nationalspatial layout plan for the urbanizationof the 770 major cities in China.

This book treats extensive form game theory in full generality. It then provides a general model of sequential, interpersonal decision making, called extensive decision problems. Requiring the existence of immediate predecessors yields discrete extensive forms, which are still general enough to cover almost all applications.

The book presents a comprehensive and systematic account of the concept, the current status and the costs of the German energy transition: the Energiewende.

This book tackles some of the most challenging problems in state estimation and traction coordinated control systems to improve the dynamic control performance of Distributed Electric Vehicles.

A comprehensive device model considering both spatialdistributions of the terahertz field and the field-effect self-mixing factorhas been constructed for the first time in the thesis.

This book mainly investigates the precision predictions on the signal of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) scheme. The potential of the LHC to discover the signal of dark matter associated production with a photon is studied after including next-to-leading order QCD corrections.

This PhD thesis presents the latest findings on the tunable surface chemistry of graphene/graphene oxide by systematically investigating the tuning of oxygen and nitrogen containing functional groups using an innovative carbonization and ammonia treatment.

Anna Mathieu clarifies if real estate decisions are affected by investor and consumer sentiment and how severely the sentiment should be considered.

They encourage (a) academics to include a behavioral component into studies of the REIT market, (b) REIT managers to incorporate effective monitoring and control mechanisms, (c) investors to become more aware of agency conflicts in REITs and (d) policy makers to facilitate a legal framework conducive to a sustainable REIT market.

This book presentsthe transport studies of topological insulator thin films grown by molecularbeam epitaxy. Through band structure engineering, the ideal topologicalinsulators, (Bi1 xSbx)2Te3 ternary alloys, are successfully fabricated, whichpossess truly insulating bulk and tunable conducting surface states.

To address the spatiotemporalspecialties of spatial data, the authors introduce the key concepts andalgorithms of the data field, cloud model, mining view, and Deren Li methods.

This is the first book devoted to mobility management, covering the important principles, technologies and applications of mobility management based on years of academic research and industry experiences.
