Catalan numbers, named after the French-Belgian mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan (1814–1894), arise in a variety of combinatorial problems. They have many interesting properties, a rich history, ...

The transformation towards electric mobility requires the highest quality mass production of battery cells. However, few research in battery cell engineering focus beyond new cell chemistries. As a ...

This book is aimed primarily towards physicists and mechanical engineers specializing in modeling, analysis, and control of discontinuous systems with friction and impacts. It fills a gap in the ...

This book offers a self-sufficient treatment of a key tool, game theory and mechanism design, to model, analyze, and solve centralized as well as decentralized design problems involving multiple ...

This is a timely book that fills the gap in the study of Chinese overseas and their religions in the global context. Rich in ethnographic materials, this is the first comprehensive book that shows the ...

The book shows how the Chinese are now confident of their capacity to learn all they need from the developed world and are keen to know which parts of the past they would need to build a modern ...

This book is indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service This book offers a comprehensive sketch of the tools used in material research and the rich and diverse stories of how those tools came to be. We aim ...

The authors consider here some Oldroyd models of non-Newtonian flows consisting of a strong coupling between incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and some transport equations. It is proved that ...

This book reviews comprehensively the technological, scientific, artistic and medical applications of liquid crystals. It starts with the basics of liquid crystals and covers electro-optical, ...

This relation is derived from photon-counting-based FLIM. As a digital method, photon counting is governed by Poisson statistics. When a large number of photons are accumulated to build up a ...

There are various types of waves including water, sound, electromagnetic, seismic and shock etc. These waves need to be analyzed and understood for different practical applications. This book is an ...

This book contains a detailed and self-contained presentation of the replica theory of infinite range spin glasses. The authors also explain recent theoretical developments, paying particular ...
