This volume will focus on the general theories and approaches that serve as the foundation for the field of ecohydrology. It examines the relationship between water and our ecosystems and discusses the drivers for water sustainability under intensifying global changes. And the other three volumes are "Observation and Measurement" by Xin Li and Harry Vereecken, "Water-Limited Environments"by Yi Zheng and Bradford P. Wilcox, "Integrated Ecohydro...

This volume will specially discuss different ecohydrological aspects of water- limited environments. Water resource management and the related eco-environmental impacts will be covered. And the other volumes are "Water and Ecosystems" by Chunmiao Zheng and Paul D. Brooks, "Observation and Measurement" by Xin Li and Harry Vereecken, "Integrated Ecohydrological Modeling" by Dawen Yang and Dave Goodrich.

The primary objective of this book is to address a formal representation of household economy in welfare economics in spatial terms. Although it has been argued since the nineteenth century that in exploring a reasonable indicator to measure the real welfare level of households, several difficulties remain to be faced in economic theory. The most relevant method in this specific topic is social welfare function. While various types of indicato...

This is the first book on an evaluation of (weak) consistency of an information criterion for variable selection in high-dimensional multivariate linear regression models by using the high-dimensional asymptotic framework. It is an asymptotic framework such that the sample size n and the dimension of response variables vector p are approaching 8 simultaneously under a condition that p/n goes to a constant included in [0, 1).Most statistical te...

Since the landmark paper by the Dalhousie University research group (2001, Nature) on coupled thermal–mechanical channel flow extrusion of the Higher Himalaya, there has been an intense debate on the validity and modifications of this extrusion mechanism. To understand this important ductile deformation process, one needs to grasp its fluid mechanical foundation. However, for the sake of brevity, research papers present key equations and not t...

Manufacturers have for too long been myopic in how they run their businesses. The Revolution Your Customers Want is about switching from an inward-centric, myopic view a company has of itself to one that brings the customers' needs to the centre of global manufacturing strategies. This unique approach will be bought by executives in manufacturing companies, marketing and channel management, global sales, as well as CIOs and IT professionals. G...

Computer vision problems are much larger than ever before. One way to satisfy demand is to design more efficient and clever algorithms that optimize computations in an existing processor. Such fast algorithms are becoming increasingly important for tele-reality, interactive media and visual serving applications. This book presents fast and reliable algorithms for dense stereo matching - for every point on the image - and optical-flow estimatio...

This brief focuses on the state-of-the-art research for congestion control in Multihop Wireless Networks (MWN), based on the Network Utility Maximization (NUM) framework. The brief evaluates fundamental theories, useful performance investigations, and open issues. Multihop Wireless Networks (MWN), including Ad Hoc networks, Wireless sensor networks, and Wireless Mesh networks, play the essential role in the evolution of pervasive computing. MW...

This volume details recent advances in the study of optical metamaterials, ranging from fundamental aspects to up to date implementations, in one unified treatment. In this second edition, the authors have completely updated the book and expanded their coverage to include chapters on zero-index, chiral, and hyperbolic metamaterials, metasurfaces,  active metamaterials and meta-devices. Important developments and applications such as superlense...

In diesem Buch trifft Tradition und Handwerk auf Design und Fantasie. Das japanische Verb shiboru bedeutet pressen, drehen, quetschen. Und was durch diese Behandlung des Stoffes im Zusammenspiel mit Farbe - bevorzugt mit Indigo - entsteht, ist eine faszinierende Welt aus Mustern und Formen. Dass sich aus den gefärbten Stoffen auch noch schöne Produkte herstellen lassen, dafür sorgt die Designerin Christiane Hübner, die neben den ausführlich e...

A beautifully illustrated journal for scribbling secret thoughts, keeping busy on a rainy day and getting your creative juices flowing. Packed with quizzes and inspirational quotes, this journal is organized into ten themed sections - from first dates to holidays and everything in between.

In this volume, Taine Duncan offers a critique of Jürgen Habermas inspired by ethical and political feminist philosophy. She argues for a critical, theoretically grounded relational ethics and maintains that modern critical theory must be sensitive to social, political, and embodied difference. The utopian spirit of normative ethics, she suggests, can only be fairly achieved by fluidly working together for shared interests. By synthesizing fem...

This book examines the interplay of professional norms and political accountability in the process of making decisions about whether, how, and how much debt governments should incur. Particular focus is given to the divide between official stipulated norms and implicit negotiated norms shaped by stakeholder expectations.

Diese bisher unveröffentlichten Briefe und Gespräche Friedrich Rittelmeyers mit Rudolf Steiner wurden Ende 1932 erstmals einem kleineren Kreise zugänglich gemacht. Im März 2013 wurden die originalen Stenogramme Rittelmeyers gefunden, die hier mit Ergänzungen und Kommentaren wiedergegeben werden.

The rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United in the late 1990s and early 2000s was the greatest in English football history. It is the only time two teams have completely dominated the league for a decade. It was a mixture of the epic and the pathetic, with glorious football, hateful confrontations, and even a pizza fight.Like all great rivalries, this was a study in contrasts: north versus south, British and Irish versus French. Both reg...
