This book takes the reader on a journey around the globe and through centuries of history, exploring the transformations that mathematical proof has undergone from its inception at the time of Euclid and Pythagoras to its versatile, present-day use.

I originally planned to join the discussion on care and economics at a different, more policy-oriented level, hoping to identify the conditions under which caring services are taken to the market. Caring activities were treated in the context of household work, unpaid work, or subsistence and informal work.

The book gives an extended review of theoretical and observational aspects of neutron star physics. It describes all layers of neutron stars, from the surface to the core, with the emphasis on their structure and equation of state.

Face recognition has been actively studied over years. This work provides a comprehensive review of this biometric, especially face recognition from video, assembling a collection of various approaches that are able to recognize human faces under various unconstrained situations. It is useful for researchers and practitioners in the industry.

The myth of the sexual inactivity of older people has long been exploded. This valuable work assembles the latest material on a range of sexual concerns experienced by our elders, from HIV/AIDS to body image problems, and includes telling personal testimony.

Supporting the assertion that multiple views of data have a greater prospect of revealing prominent patterns than single views, this book provides a portal into the open source data analysis system called R though exposition by example.

Presenting aspects of numerical analysis applicable to statisticians, this volume enables students to craft their own software and to understand both the advantages and challenges of numerical methods. Topics include numerical stability, accurate approximations, computational complexity and more.

This book will benefit individuals interested in a non-mathematics-based theory of capital. Coverage includes the factors that led to the financial market turmoil of 2008. Additionally, the author proposes ideas for avoiding economic crises in the future.

This hands-on manual for archaeology in Great Britain provides a unique user guide to practicing archaeology within the diverse settings of England, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

This book describes the tools and concepts needed to measure patterns extracted from the EEG and ECoG. It emphasizes the need for single trial analysis using new methods as well as large, high-density spatial arrays of electrodes for pattern sampling.

Bioarchaeological Documentation and Cultural Understanding

This book provides the framework, basic methods, rationale and advanced techniques for translating the behavior of children, adolescents, and parents into visible, traceable data. Introduces Gridware, a versatile visualization and data manipulation tool.

This comprehensive review of biomimetic materials with self-healing, self-lubricating and self-cleaning properties addresses theoretical and practical aspects of the topic, especially where they have applications to 'green', biomedical and defense technology.

Knowledge of turbulent mixing by jets and plumes is important for environmental control, impact and risk assessment.Turbulent Jets and Plumes introduces the fundamental concepts and develops a Lagrangian approach to model these shear flows.

In the past decade we have witnessed the birth and maturing of a field of research centering on the Ca2+ signaling functions of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), which structures and mechanisms of action are truly unique among all Ca2+ messengers.

This book expands on the status and therapeutic importance of n-3 fatty acids and their mediators in normal brains and those with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. It also presents the benefits of n-3 fatty acids on the Western diet.

"Ramanujan's lost notebook" contains considerable material on mock theta functions and so undoubtedly emanates from the last year of Ramanujan's life. It should be emphasized that the material on mock theta functions is perhaps Ramanujan's deepest work.

Introducing the reader to the core concepts of motivation and motivational design, this volume applies this knowledge to the design process in a systematic, step-by-step format. It takes the theoretically robust ARCS model as the basis for its approach.

This overview of solid state physics provides up-to-date developments in semiconductors and nanotechnology. Mathematical results are carefully described in a standardized style and notation, while ample problems illustrate principles throughout the text.

The relationship between population intelligence and public health could be a driving factor in the strong rise in IQ over time. The latest medical and behavior science research are examined in this text to determine social and political implications at play.

Why the difference?Recent developmental research has demonstrated a relationship between sleep/wake patterns and different kinds of problem behaviors, including social adjustment problems, family coercion, and disaffection from school.

This work examines the profusion of Mexican-Americans in low wage or service sector jobs, which rarely come with health or retirement benefits. It deemphasizes cultural explanations for the economic disparities and focuses on practical, policy-based solutions.

Providing the necessary materials within a theoretical framework, this volume presents stochastic principles and processes, and related areas. Over 1000 exercises illustrate the concepts discussed, including modern approaches to sample paths and optimal stopping.

Makes these ideas accessible to a general reader complex concepts of relativity and the stimulated emission of light through the use of mathematics no more difficult than one learns in high school. Written by a noted and successful science writer.

This text recasts theories of self, synthesizing a range of psychologists and philosophers to restore to psychology the centrality of personhood and choice. Its unique perspective de-emphasizes method and formula in favor of moral agency and life experience.

With the aim of facilitating signal processing in manufacturing, this book presents a systematic description of the fundamentals on wavelet transform and the ways of applying it to the condition monitoring and health diagnosis of rotating machine components.

Illustrated through dozens of examples and discussion of application to small and medium-sized businesses and not-for-profits, this book presents a fundamentally new approach to corporate strategy, focused on the customer, not competitors.

The differences between FPGA and ASIC technologies are examined in this reference, with a particular focus on cost, performance and power consumption. Common misconceptions between the two devices are addressed and specific design choices are highlighted.
