Our knowledge of the Milky Way has been deeply renewed since a dozen years, following the results of the astrometric satellite HIPPARCOS, and those of large stellar surveys. Many concepts thought to be...

This book summarizes the study of similarity and reducing subspaces for a class of multiplication operators on the Bergman space, Dirichlet space, and Sobolev disc algebra. It also investigates the compactness...

This book introduces the theories and methods of laser coherent detection in the field of high-performance target detection. It includes five chapters, including the theoretical foundation of laser coherent...

The description of ocean water masses is based on the study of their temperature, salinity, and density, virtual genetic imprints which provide identity and movement to water masses. Ocean characteristics...

The significance of the existence of the system is to realize its function and maintain its stability, that is, the reliability and stability of the reliability. Reliability is affected by factors, component...

The business of upstream oil and gas industry is a complex process that involves multidisciplinary participation. Producing crude oil and natural gas from the subsurface reservoir rocks to the point of...

More than 4300 planets around nearby stars! Who could have imagined this extraordinary harvest only thirty years ago? As the vast majority of stars are surrounded by planets, we can surmise that there...

The theory, methodology, technology, and achievements of research on botanical gardens worldwide are for the first time systematically reviewed and summarized, and form the foundation of Botanical Garden...

The first two volumes of the Chinese Plant Names Index (CPNI) cover the years 2000 through 2009, with entries 1 through 5,516, and 2010 through 2017, with entries 5,517 through 10,795. A unique entry...

The genus Microtoena is a lovely and enigmatic member of the mint family. This new monograph is a comprehensive taxonomic revision, based on extensive field observations, population sampling, specimen...

This book addresses recent developments in sign patterns for generalized inverses. The fundamental importance of the fields is obvious, since they are related with qualitative analysis of linear systems...

This book reports on the state-of-the-art in terms of dosimetric, ionizing radiation metrology and radiation protection through exercises related to practical applications. For each problem, the book...

A true practical guide, this book brings together all elements necessary for the practice of PID control in industries. The first part presents the different characteristics of the PID controller: continuous,...

As a body of theoretical knowledge, urban morphology in the West principally emerged within two disciplines and two parts of Europe. On the one hand there is the Anglo-German geographical school, associated...

Urbanization is the one of the most evident forms of anthropization. With most of the world population living in cities, the need of thinking about a more sustainable urban lifestyle has become an imperative....

Multivariate analysis is a popular area in statistics and data science. This book provides a good balance between conceptual understanding, key theoretical presentation, and detailed implementation with...

Taking in account the high level of implications caused by the emergence of industry 4.0, it is important to know and understand the managerial challenges that nowadays organizations are facing, and more...

Biofouling on marine vessels and bacterial growth on biomedical surfaces bring huge economic loss to our society. Traditional antifouling and antibacterial surfaces contain toxic substances or antibiotics,...

Heterocyclic chemistry is one of the largest branches of chemistry. Heterocycles play major roles in important fields such as medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistries, agrochemicals or polymers. A good...

Here is the ideal book to grasp the basic concepts of spin-dependent electron transport and to develop a deep physical understanding of the subject. A careful selection of key notions provides a concise...

This book introduces complete and systematic theories of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems and their applications in partial differential equations, especially in the models of fluid mechanics. It...

Abstract algebra is an essential tool in algebra, number theory, geometry, topology, and, to a lesser extent, analysis. It is therefore a core requirement for all mathematics majors. Outside of mathematics,...

This book contains a set of solved problems on the thermodynamics of phase transformations, diffusion and kinetics in alloys. These problems, preceded by a reminder of the course, are completed by answers...

Mosses are one of the most ancient terrestrial plants. Their small size and rich species have increased the difficulty in classification and thus there are still many taxonomic issues to be solved. The...

One major task of genetic studies is to construct the genetic map through linkage analysis, and then locate the genetic loci of important traits on the constructed linkage maps, identify favorable alleles...

This book addresses both the basic and applied aspects of the finite iterative algorithm, CGLS iterative algorithm, and explicit algorithm to some linear matrix equations. The author presents the latest...

Technology related to spinal endoscopy has undergone rapid development over the past 30 years. Some surgical techniques, such as the Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE), have been widely applied. Meanwhile,...
