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.

This revised new edition explains optoelectronic devices and their use in integrated optics and fiber optic systems. It emphasizes the physics of how devices work and how they are used in various applications as the field of optoelectronics has progressed.

The more that science advances, such as with stem cells, GMOs, or nuclear energy, the more society seems to resist. This book fully explores the various frictions between science and democracy across a broad range of technological controversies.

Acknowledged risk authority Tony Cox shows all risk practitioners how Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can improve risk management decisions and policies. It illustrates QRA methods for complex and uncertain biological, engineering, and social systems.

In the past decade there have been significant advances in treating neurodevelopmental disorders. This second edition brings readers up to speed, offering the latest information on neuroimaging technologies, individual disorders, and effective treatment.

As a complete summary of the author's twenty five years of experience in telescope design, this book provides a general introduction as well as discussing the theory in depth, and covering Radio, Infrared, Optical, X-Ray and Gamma-Ray wavelengths.

As many as one in four children experiences problems with reading and many of those suffer from dyslexia. This book equips education practitioners with in-depth understanding of the disorder and a wealth of practical information for meeting student needs.

Building on their previous book on the subject, the authors provide an expanded introduction to using Regression to analyze ecological data. As with the earlier book, real data sets from postgraduate ecological studies or research projects are used throughout.

Unconventional and challenging viewpoints are presented in this book that will be of interest to researchers in AI, psychology, cybernetics and systems science. The book systematically advances an alternative approach to analyze and model intelligence.

Focuses on the communications aspects of dealing with a crisis. This book offers advice ranging from preparing for the unthinkable to the dramatic expansion of the Internet, avoiding being caught off-guard by a situation, the ramifications of product tampering and managing an actual crisis.
