In today's interactive network environment, where various types of organizations are eager to monitor and track Internet use, anonymity is one of the most powerful resources available to counterbalance the threat of unknown spectators and to ensure Internet privacy. Addressing the demand for authoritative information on anonymous Internet usage, Anonymous Communication Networks: Protecting Privacy on the Web examines anonymous communication ne...

Begegnungen mit verstorbenen Angehörigen oder dem Todesboten, Engelerscheinungen oder ein Gefährt, das auftaucht, um den Sterbenden mitzunehmen - Sterbebettvisionen sind individuell und doch lassen sich sich wiederholende Motive ausmachen. Können und dürfen die letzten Bilder und Erzählungen eines Sterbenden als Halluzinationen oder neurophysiologische Phänomene abgetan werden? Oder offerieren Wachträume, traumartige Erlebnisse in komatösen Zu...

Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) systems have now become an integral part of the organisational structure of thousands of modern organisations with any sizes and in many countries and sectors. However, after very substantial investment, successful implementation of ERP is in fact not the end of the journey. Very often, the system post-implementation stage is where the real challenges begin. This book reports on a research study that aimed a...

This book describes the material modeling, testing and forming of textile composites. The book presents systematic multi-scale frameworks for the material characterization of textile composites to capture their anisotropic material behavior during forming. The material characterization frameworks build up a solid foundation for the numerical analysis of the forming process, which can lead to a complete set of design tools for the forming of te...

In this book the authors consider the natural environment as an integrated system. The physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the behaviour of the environmental system can thus be understood through mathematical modelling, and their evolution can be studied by means of numerical simulation. The book contains a summary of various efficient approaches in atmospheric prediction, such as numerical weather prediction and statistica...

This book is about time-domain modelling, stability, stabilization, control design and filtering for JTDS. It gives readers a thorough understanding of the basic mathematical analysis and fundamentals, offers a straightforward treatment of the different topics and provides broad coverage of the recent methodologies.

Professionals and students in any geology-related field will find this an essential reference. It clearly and systematically explains underground engineering geology principles, methods, theories and case studies. The authors lay out engineering problems in underground rock engineering and how to study and solve them. The book specially emphasizes mechanical and hydraulic couplings in rock engineering for wellbore stability, mining near aquife...

Specimens of ZrB2 containing various concentrations of SiC, TaB2, and TaSi2 were pressureless-sintered and post-HIPed to theoretical densities. Oxidation resistances were studied by scanning thermogravimetry over the range 1150 - 1550 C, and isothermal thermogravimetry at 1200 - 1900 C. Most silicon-containing compositions formed a glassy surface layer, covering an interior oxide layer. This interior layer was less porous in tantalum-containin...

Auction is an effective and convenient method to negotiate price and distribute resources. In an open and unreliable environment like the Internet, there are many threats to security of electronic auction. It is challenge to overcome them and design secure e-auction protocols. In the last several years, a lot of Internet auction websites like E-Bay have appeared. At the same time, more and more cryptographic applications to electronic auctions...

In this book, we propose novel deterministic RNN training algorithms that adopt a nonmonotone approach. This allows learning behaviour to deteriorate in some iterations, nevertheless the overall learning performance is improved over time. The nonmonotone RNN training methods, which take their theoretical basis from the theory of deterministic nonlinear optimisation, aim at better exploring the search space and enhancing the convergence behavio...
