Probabilistic models are widely used for description and an analysis of various processes in system reliability, risk, queuing, data communication, logistic and storage systems. The book contains various applications of the theory of continuous-time Markov-modulated processes in operation research. All analytical results are illustrated by numerical computations. Used algorithms allow overcoming computation difficulties successfully. For examp...

This book starts by discussing the anatomy and physiology of the inner ear. Then it delves deeper into hearing loss, how to prevent it, and the genetics behind it. How to manage related symptoms such as hyperacusis and tinnitus is also discussed as well as current medical treatments and new immunological approaches to treating hearing loss. Furthermore, the most up-to-date hearing devices such as digital hearing aids, implantable bone conducti...

The first industrial revolution was accompanied by the emergence of the School of Engineering, the second brought about the School of Electrical Engineering, and the third digital revolution led to the School of Information. It is now obvious that the change in this quantum revolution must lead to the emergence of the School of Quantum Science and Technology. Quantum technology can develop comprehensively through the integration of science, te...

Topics covered in Discrete Mathematics have become essential tools in many areas of studies in recent years. This is primarily due to the revolution in technology, communications, and cyber security. The book treats major themes in a typical introductory modern Discrete Mathematics course: Propositional and predicate logic, proof techniques, set theory (including Boolean algebra, functions and relations), introduction to number theory, combina...

The island nations of Singapore and New Zealand are facing similar global challenges stemming from a confluence of overlapping international crises. And the ongoing rivalry between China and the US is also impacting both Singapore and New Zealand. Although the two nations share some similarities, they differ in several aspects and have developed at different speeds and in dissimilar ways. In 2025, both countries will be celebrating sixty years...

Due to its capability of handling very complex problems and its high flexibility in adapting to different algorithms, the kernel machine plays a crucial role in machine learning. Bio-Kernel Machines and Applications will introduce a new type of kernel machine for the exploration and modeling between the genotypic inherent structures of short protein sequences or nucleic sequences and the phenotypic biological properties or functions of protein...

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics from the ground up. It is designed to be completely self-contained and assumes very little knowledge or mathematical background on the part of students as it takes them through the major topics of quantum mechanics.Designed to be appropriate for students across a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, this book will be particularly helpful for students who might lack some o...

This book presents a comprehensive theory of human psycho-bio-physical relations and consequent routes through disruptions, changes, and harmonic equilibria, with applications in clinical psychology, social sciences and human interfaces. It clarifies how synchronizations generate complex and mixed states, and evolve into quantum dynamics, using a quantum relational mechanics perspective. Contemporary research following this approach are discus...

The Smart Sustainability Transformation Playbook aims to demystify the socio-technical systems and processes of sustainability transitions through the study of 12 smart cities -- Auckland, Boston, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Medellin, Melbourne, Milan, Seoul, Tokyo, and Vancouver, selected from the IMD-SUTD 2021 Smart City Index. The selection encompasses a range of smart cities and developments on selected critical areas in e...

This unique compendium provides state-of-the-art computational methodology and applications in bioimage informatics. It covers cutting-edge technology developments in biological image analysis, where images come from new modalities and are often large scale, high throughput and high dimensional. The book reflects advances in intelligent algorithms for tasks such as biological image segmentation, reconstruction, and object tracking. Contributed...

Many of the words used to describe disease ('infection', 'transmission', 'virus') are also used to characterize cyber security (for example: a computer is infected by a virus that can be transmitted to other current uninfected computers). This correspondence is much more than a convenient metaphor, and the aim of this book is to show how the models developed to understand the dynamics of infection, recovery, and possible infection in disease c...

Federated Learning is currently an emerging technology in the field of machine learning. Federated Learning is a structure which trains a centralized model for a given assignment, where the data is de-centralized across different edge devices or servers. This enables preservation of the confidentiality of data on various edge devices, as only the updated outcomes of the models are shared with the centralized model. This means the data can rema...

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Fock space theory and its applications to mathematical quantum field theory. The first half of the book, Part I, is devoted to detailed descriptions of analysis on abstract Fock spaces (full Fock space, boson Fock space, fermion Fock space and boson-fermion Fock space). It includes the mathematics of second quantization, representation theory of canonical commutation and anti-commutation relat...

This is a concise book that introduces students to the basics of logical thinking and important mathematical structures that are critical for a solid understanding of logical formalisms themselves as well as for building the necessary background to tackle other fields that are based on these logical principles. Despite its compact and small size, it includes many solved problems and quite a few end-of-section exercises that will help readers c...

This unique compendium approaches the relatively new Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) methods at senior undergraduates level in engineering or applied mathematics. It describes the differences between the well-established Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods and why they are being replaced, or enhanced, by the latest developments in IGA.The book begins with summaries of the concepts of B-splines, NURBS, and 'knot vectors' which define them as exac...

This book combines the fundamental forces of technology, economics, finance and policy in understanding the development and deployment of CCUS to facilitate clean energy transition and therefore achieve carbon neutrality in the ASEAN. It provides policy-driven empirical studies, investigating and evaluating multiple facets of development and deployment of CCUS in the ASEAN. These carefully chosen case-studies map CCUS in the regional and count...
