This book presents intellectual, innovative, information technologies (I 3 -technologies) based on logical and probabilistic (LP) risk models. The technologies presented here consider such models for structurally complex systems and processes with logical links and with random events in economics and technology. The volume describes the followin...

The rapid social change in the East Asia has brought great research attention on the family, education and political impacts. The growth trajectory of the next generation is exposed to an entirely different context owing to the dual effects of traditional and modern values as well as practices. This book provides an overall picture of the develo...

Data-Based Controller Design presents a comprehensive analysis of data-based control design. It brings together the different data-based design methods that have been presented in the literature since the late 1990?s. To the best knowledge of the author, these data-based design methods have never been collected in a single text, analyzed in dept...

The Handbook of COin Power Systems' objective is to include the state-of-the-art developments that occurred in power systems taking COemission into account. The book includes power systems operation modeling with COemissions considerations, COmarket mechanism modeling, COregulation policy modeling, carbon price forecasting, and carbon capture mo...

The theory of random dynamical systems originated from stochastic differential equations. It is intended to provide a framework and techniques to describe and analyze the evolution of dynamical systems when the input and output data are known only approximately, according to some probability distribution. The development of this field, in both t...

This monograph describes mathematical models that enable prediction of phase compositions for various technological processes, as developed on the base of a complex physico-chemical analysis of reaction. It studies thermodynamics and kinetics of specific stages of complex pyrometallurgical processes involving boron, carbon, sulfur, tungsten, pho...

This is a self-contained, systematic and comprehensive introduction to all the subjects and techniques important in scientific computing. The style and presentation are readily accessible to undergraduates and graduates. A large number of examples, accompanied by complete C++ and Java code wherever possible, cover every topic.

This monograph contains a number of problems with signal detection theory, presenting a generalized observation model for signal detection problems. The model includes several interesting and common special cases, such as those describing additive noise, multiplicative noise and signal-dependent noise.

How do companies adapt their strategies when they are faced with a global economic crisis? Do managers in different countries differ in the way they react to major changes in their companies´ environment? Is national culture influencing adaptation strategies in times of crisis? ?Strategic Adaptation? explores the processes that are at work when ...

A detailed and comprehensive account of the engineering of the world?s first nonimaging Fresnel lens solar concentrator. The book closes a gap in solar concentrator design, and describes nonimaging refractive optics and its numerical mathematics. The book shows the reader how to find his or her own optical solution using the rules and methodolog...
