The papers cover topics in numerical analysis and computational tools, statistical inference, regression, calibration and metrological traceability, computer science and data provenance, and describe applications in a wide range of application domains. This volume is useful to all researchers, engineers and practitioners who need to characterize the capabilities of measurement systems and evaluate measurement data. It will also be of interest to scientists and engineers concerned with the reliability, trustworthiness and reproducibility of data and data analytics in data-driven systems in engineering, environmental and life sciences.

The aim of this book is to provide a basic and self-contained introduction to the ideas underpinning fractal analysis. The book illustrates some important applications issued from real data sets, real physical and natural phenomena as well as real applications in different fields, and consequently, presents to the readers the opportunity to implement fractal analysis in their specialties according to the step-by-step guide found in the book.Besides advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and senior researchers, this book may also serve scientists and research workers from industrial settings, where fractals and multifractals are required for modeling real-world phenomena and data, such as finance, medicine, engineering, transport, images, signals, among others.For the theorists, rigorous mathematical developments are established with necessary prerequisites that make the book self-containing. For the practitioner often interested in model building and analysis, we provide the cornerstone ideas.

Includes simple thermodynamical models such as viscous fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, nonlinear solids, interactions with electromagnetic fields, and diffusive porous materials. This book aims to illustrate the above subjects by examples and simple solutions of initial and boundary problems.

Contains pedagogical and elementary introductions to genetics for mathematicians and physicists as well as to mathematical models and techniques of population dynamics. This book offers a physicist's perspective on modeling biological processes.

Consists of reviewed papers prepared on the basis of the oral and poster presentations of the participants at the AMCTM 2008 conference, reinforced by the establishment of IMEKO TC21. This work covers the general matters of metrology software, numerical methods and data fusion techniques and design and analysis of inter-laboratory comparisons.

Starting with an historical overview of road vehicles, this work goes on to deal, in physical and mathematical terms, with the forces exchanged between the vehicle and the road and the vehicle and the air. The second part deals with the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle in normal driving conditions.

This volume contains original and refereed contributions from the tenth AMCTM Conference (http://www.nviim.ru/AMCTM2014) held in St. Petersburg (Russia) in September 2014 on the theme of advanced mathematical and computational tools in metrology and testing.

This volume contains original, refereed worldwide contributions. They were prompted by presentations made at the ninth AMCTM Conference held in G teborg (Sweden) in June 2011 on the theme of advanced mathematical and computational tools in metrology and also, in the title of this book series, in testing. The themes in this volume reflect the importance of the mathematical, statistical and numerical tools and techniques in metrology and testing and, also in keeping the challenge promoted by the Metre Convention, to access a mutual recognition for the measurement standards.

Provides a blend of the theory of differential equations and their applications to dynamic economics. Covering the applications of the theory of linear differential equations to economic analysis, as well as non-linear dynamical systems, this book is easy to understand for any reader who has a basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra.

Provides an overview of research articles in applied and industrial mathematics in Italy. This volume is important as it gives a report on modern applied and industrial mathematics, and will be of specific interest to the community of applied mathematicians. It collects selected papers presented at the 9th Conference of SIMAI.

Builds upon the knowledge of elasticity and thermodynamics, and allows the reader to gain confidence in extending one's skills in understanding and analyzing problems in inelasticity. This book helps the reader gain a level of comfort and competence in developing and using inelasticity models.

The present text, an expanded edition of the successful Motor Vehicle Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation (by Giancarlo Genta), started as a revised and expanded version of a collections of notes of the lectures of Motor Vehicle Mechanics to the students of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at the Politecnico (Technical University) of Torino, Italy. The resulting textbook originated from the aim to collect the foundations of the discipline and the more recent developments in a single text; which, being published mainly in journals and proceedings, are not readily available to students and technicians working in industry.Road Vehicle Dynamics supplies the reader with both the theoretical background of the subject and the know-how needed to perform numerical simulations. It is structured in three parts: it begins with a historical overview of road vehicles; then deals with the forces exchanged between the vehicle and the road, and the vehicle and the air; and finally, deals with the dynamic behavior of the vehicle in normal driving conditions with some extensions towards conditions encountered in high-speed racing. Coverage of contemporary automatic controls is included in this edition.

This second edition provides a broad range of methods and concepts required for the analysis and solution of equations which arise in the modeling of phenomena in the natural, engineering, and applied mathematical sciences. It may be used productively by both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as others who wish to learn, understand, and apply these techniques. Detailed discussions are also given for several topics that are not usually included in standard textbooks at this level of presentation: qualitative methods for differential equations, dimensionalization and scaling, elements of asymptotics, difference equations and several perturbation procedures. Further, this second edition includes several new topics covering functional equations, the Lambert-W function, nonstandard sets of periodic functions, and the method of dominant balance. Each chapter contains a large number of worked examples and provides references to the appropriate books and literature.
