Riverbank Filtration (RBF) is a popular source of high quality water for public water supply. This book provides guidance in the design and operation of RBF facilities. Providing data and case histories from dozens of installations, it covers topics such as surface stream hydrology, particle clogging, and biological/geochemical processes.

In honor of Serge Lang's vast contribution to mathematics, this memorial volume presents articles by prominent mathematicians. Reflecting the breadth of Lang's own interests and accomplishments, these essays span the field of Number Theory, Analysis and Geometry.

This book reviews techniques such as touch preparation cytology and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, as well as FNA biopsy. Coverage includes proper handling for subsequent ancillary studies, including flow cytometric, cytogenetic and molecular studies.

This bibliography updates progress in the study of bone disease in recent and fossil amphibians and reptiles, using advanced diagnostic tools, and drawing on a secure review of the literature and a growing database describing the nature of bony alterations.

With simplified mathematical equations that illuminate the theoretical foundations of robotics and mechanics, this volume provides comprehensive coverage of statics and dynamics together, giving readers a more balanced understanding of their relationship.

Brings together philosophers and practitioners to address the foundations and principles upon which public health policy may be advanced. This work develops a theoretical basis for public health and then examines cutting-edge issues of practice that include social and political issues of public health.

This book examines the impact of the Digital Dividend on terrestrial broadcasting now and tomorrow. Covers spectrum management, the analog to digital switch, and consequences of the identification of a spectrum that could be released for other uses.

Takes the system approach to inventory modeling. This book includes applications such as commercial airlines, experience gained during Desert Storm, and adoption of the Windows interface as a standard for personal computer models.

Includes reviews written by leading researchers in the areas of micromechanics, micro-scale testing, MEMS, micro-flows, nanocrystalline materials and multi-scale modelling. The structure and properties of MEMS materials, multi-scale modelling of materials and micro-flows are discussed. This work focuses on electrostatic and electrokinetic effects.

Analyzes coordination of monetary and fiscal stabilization policies between countries and currency areas using a dynamic game approach. This book covers issues, such as: fiscal coordination, fiscal stringency requirements, structural and bargaining power asymmetries and the design of monetary and fiscal policymaking in a monetary union.

Difference equations arise naturally from such discrete descriptions and allow us to pose and answer such questions as: How much? How many? And how long? Designed for sophomores studying mathematics and computer science, this title covers the basics of difference equations and some of their applications in computing and in population biology.

Identifies the major areas of education reform. This book features contributions from researchers who have worked in many different settings and brings their own insights to attack this universal problem. It presents analyses of the successes and failures, and also identifies common and transferable features.

This book warns of the threats and vulnerabilities facing our privacy, identity, trust, security and inclusion in the rapidly approaching world of ambient intelligence (AmI). It contains realistic scenarios that demonstrate the threats of an AmI-world.
