This is a new, completely revised, updated and enlarged edition of the author's Ergebnisse vol. 46: "Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians" in two volumes (this is the 2nd volume). In the eight
"Sam Michel is such a smart, manic, virtuosic stylist . . . the kind of deep insights that make you suddenly and newly appreciative of the world around you."?George SaundersThere was a hot, high sun,
Predictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g.solid-liquid phase change, volume and surface damage, and phase change inv
Illegal immigrants Lilia and Hector must surmount corruption, manipulation, rape, murder, betrayal, red tape and exploitation on their separate paths over the border from Mexico to the Carolinas, if t
This book bridges the technology and business aspects of thermosets, providing a practical guide designed for engineers working in real-world industrial settings. The author explores the criteria for
Lost between the rugged High Sierras and sun-baked Death Valley, bypassed by most visitors on their way somewhere else, this sumptuous alignment of low desert valleys trapped between mountains reachin
This book presents the principles of functional analysis. It includes recent simple proofs of the isoperimetric and the Faber-Krahn inequality, an elementary introduction to capacity theory, and a new
In addition to its central focus on generic chaining, which allows for optimal bounds in Gaussian and Bernoulli processes, this volume on modern stochastic methods includes key applications and a vari
The aim of this book is to deepen our understanding of financial crimes as phenomena. It uses concepts of existential philosophies that are relevant to dissecting the phenomenon of financial crimes. W
During the springs of 2011 and 2012, the author was invited by Peking University to give an advanced undergraduate algebra course (once a week over two months each year). This book was written during
Over the last two decades, earth modeling has become a major investigative tool for evaluating the potential of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Current modeling procedures provide no way to link a range of da
It is a new era. To win in an increasingly dynamic and volatile environment, leadership teams must be agile and they must be flexible enough to react to early signs and act on them quickly. An agile c
Distributed computing is at the heart of many applications. It arises as soon as one has to solve a problem in terms of entities -- such as processes, peers, processors, nodes, or agents -- that indiv
The fundamental question of characterizing continuity and boundedness of Gaussian processes goes back to Kolmogorov. After essential contributions by R. Dudley and X. Fernique, it was solved by the au
This work addresses the question of inter- and intra-site variability and its behavioral significance through a techno-economic analysis of lithic industries and an experimental procedure.
