In the fields of data mining and control, the huge amount of unstructured data and the presence of uncertainty in system descriptions have always been critical issues.

Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structures

This book offers a concise yet thorough overview of established scientific knowledge about ozone in the atmosphere, presenting both ozone changes and trends in the stratosphere, as well as the effects of overabundance in the troposphere including photosmog.

This book provides an overview of how international law is constructed through diverse macro and microprocesses that expand its traditional subjects and sources, with the attribution of sovereign capacity and power to the international plane.

As well as coverage of the base concepts in thin film theory, this volume has details of many of the latest results in the field, including materials mixtures and nanostructured coatings. It includes dedicated software packages for materials characterization.

This user-friendly source of up-to-date information on a rapidly expanding field emphasizes the practical applications of molecular testing in the diagnosis and management of dermatological conditions. It features detailed guidance on test interpretation.

This superbly illustrated guide to using flaps in head and neck reconstruction presents the anatomy of each area through detailed drawings and cadaveric imagery drawn from the author's own practice as a maxillofacial surgeon and anatomy professor.

The authors describe systematic methods for uncovering scientific laws a priori, on the basis of intuition, or "Gedanken Experiments". Mathematical expressions of scientific laws are, by convention, constrained by the rule that their form must be invariant with changes of the units of their variables.

Laser Additive Manufacturing of High-Performance Materials

Rider, MSW, MD, FAAP, Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School 'My participation in the UTS Emergency Communication project provided extraordinary insights into the complexities and subtleties of communication encounters during a patient's emergency department journey.

This volume introduces students to each phase of a typical data analysis project in the earth sciences, from preliminary research through data processing in MATLAB to presenting the results. It features numerous examples and tips on using internet resources.

This book examines propagation and stability of linear and nonlinear waves in continuous media with complex structure such as solid with cavities, composites with inclusions, piezo-semiconductors and propagation of a laser beam through a two-level medium.

This book examines how culture shapes the economy. It presents an analysis of the mutual interdependency between culture and economic development as well as describes the development of cultural dimensions and stereotypes.

Six papers present Gutenberg's theory in the light of the theoretical advances that he stimulated as well as in the framework of other theoretical developments like capital market theory, transaction cost theory, principal agent theory, and contract theory.

This up-to-date monograph provides a thorough review of the relevant data and properties of the transition-metal impurities generated during silicon-sample and device fabrication. This new edition includes important recent data and many new tables.

The process of breaking up a physical domain into smaller sub-domains, known as meshing, facilitates the numerical solution of partial differential equations used to simulate physical systems.

This book mainly focuses on defining profit models, on how many main kinds of profit models there are, how profit models can change a company, and how to tailor a profit model to the needs of a certain company.

This book tells the fascinating story of the people and events behind the turbulent changes in attitudes to quantum theory in the second half of the 20th century.

Perception and Production of Mandarin Tones by Native Speakers and L2 Learners

Central approximations as Hedin's GW and the T-matrix approximation are discussed.(iv) The fourth part is focused on response functions measured in optical and loss spectroscopies and neutral pair or collective excitations.

Socio-biological Implications in Confucianism

It focuses on the period from after the Opium Wars to the New Culture Movement, as the New Culture Movement can be considered a pivotal phase in the cultural transformation of modern-day China. The New Culture Movement was a revolutionary eruption triggered by the accumulation of all the new qualitative cultural factors since the Opium Wars.

Verb Sense Discovery in Mandarin Chinese--A Corpus-Based Knowledge-Intensive Approach

Today they can be done using self-designed spectrographs and highly efficient CCD cameras, without the need for large financial investments.This book explains the basic principles of spectroscopy, including the fundamental optical constraints and all mathematical aspects needed to understand the working principles in detail.

This book presents a study on corpus-driven distribution as the main method of prediction, concentrating on individual semantic features to predict the senses of non-defined words by using corpora and tools, such as the Chinese Gigaword Corpus, HowNet, Chinese Wordnet, and XianDai HanYu CiDian (Xian Han).

This book considers the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communication procedure as a key contributor to the realization of children's Article 12 Convention on the Rights of the Child participation rights.
