Unique in its approach, Models of Network Reliability: Analysis, Combinatorics, and Monte Carlo provides a brief introduction to Monte Carlo methods along with a concise exposition of reliability theory ideas. From there,

The nature of this book is to emphasize the inherent complexity and richness of the human experience of change. Now, the author believes there to be an acceptable "scientific" explanation for this

Regurity theory in Sobolev spaces is extensively investigated, for homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary value problems, with a detailed analysis of the new geometrical conditions on coefficients arising as a consequence of the

Wavelets have recently been enjoying a period of popularity and rapid growth, and the influence of wavelet methods now extends well beyond mathematics into a number of practical fields, including statistics. The

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a ground-breaking medical technique which uses lasers to activate light-sensitive chemicals to treat cancer and other diseases without resorting to surgery. For the first time, Chemical Aspects of

This handbook is presented in chapters, sections and subsections to aid the reader. Within each subsection the equations are arranged in order of increasing complexity. The book pays special attention to equations

This volume details the current state of the theory of fuzzy differential equations and inclusions and a systematic account of recent developments.

This text is a practical course in complex calculus that covers the applications, but does not assume the full rigor of a real analysis background. Topics covered include algebraic and geometric aspects

Over the past 25 years the field of neutron diffraction for residual stress characterization has grown tremendously, and has matured from the stage of trial demonstrations to provide a practical tool with

The advances made in vascular biology in the last 25 years have considerably changed the perception that one could have of the endothelial cells. Once considered as a diffusion barrier preventing the

Questions regarding how best to communicate warnings and risk information, whether such communications are likely to be effective, and what factors influence the communication process are important across many of society's facets

Frontiers provides a deft survey of the main strands of twentieth century physics, telling the story of the major discoveries and the people who made them, largely through the work of the

Compiling data on submanifolds, tangent bundles and spaces, integral invariants, tensor fields, and enterior differential forms, this text illustrates the fundamental concepts, definitions and properties of mechanical and analytical calculus. Also offers
