Previous volumes to showcase work from the Psychometric Society¿s Meeting are New Developments in Quantitative Psychology: Presentations from the 77th Annual Psychometric Society Meeting (Springer, 2013), Quantitative Psychology Research: The 78th Annual Meeting of the Psychometric Society (Springer, 2015), and Quantitative Psychology Research: The 79th Annual Meeting of the Psychometric Society, Wisconsin, USA, 2014 (Springer, 2015).

The book discusses important results in modern mathematical models and high performance computing, such as applied operations research, simulation of operations, statistical modeling and applications, invisibility regions and regular meta-materials, unmanned vehicles, modern radar techniques/SAR imaging, satellite remote sensing, coding, and robotic systems. Furthermore, it is valuable as a reference work and as a basis for further study and research. All contributing authors are respected academicians, scientists and researchers from around the globe. All the papers were presented at the international conference on Modern Mathematical Methods and High Performance Computing in Science & Technology (M3HPCST 2015), held at Raj Kumar Goel Institute of Technology, Ghaziabad, India, from 27¿29 December 2015, and peer-reviewed by international experts. The conference provided an exceptional platform for leading researchers, academicians, developers, engineers and technocrats from a broad range of disciplines to meet and discuss state-of-the-art mathematical methods and high performance computing in science & technology solutions. This has brought new prospects for collaboration across disciplines and ideas that facilitate novel breakthroughs.

This book offers an ideal introduction to singular perturbation problems, and a valuable guide for researchers in the field of differential equations.

This book discusses recent developments and the latest research in algebra and related topics. The book allows aspiring researchers to update their understanding of prime rings, generalized derivations, generalized semiderivations, regular semigroups, completely simple semigroups, module hulls, injective hulls, Baer modules, extending modules, local cohomology modules, orthogonal lattices, Banach algebras, multilinear polynomials, fuzzy ideals, Laurent power series, and Hilbert functions. All the contributing authors are leading international academicians and researchers in their respective fields. Most of the papers were presented at the international conference on Algebra and its Applications (ICAA-2014), held at Aligarh Muslim University, India, from December 15¿17, 2014. The book also includes papers from mathematicians who couldn't attend the conference. The conference has emerged as a powerful forum offering researchers a venue to meet and discuss advances in algebra and its applications, inspiring further research directions.

This volume collects selected, peer-reviewed contributions from the 2nd Conference of the International Society for Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS), held in Cádiz (Spain) between June 11¿16 2014, and sponsored by the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, the Journal of Nonparametric Statistics and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.The 15 articles are a representative sample of the 336 contributed papers presented at the conference. They cover topics such as high-dimensional data modelling, inference for stochastic processes and for dependent data, nonparametric and goodness-of-fit testing, nonparametric curve estimation, object-oriented data analysis, and semiparametric inference.The aim of the ISNPS 2014 conference was to bring together recent advances and trends in several areas of nonparametric statistics in order to facilitate the exchange of research ideas, promote collaboration among researchers from around the globe, and contribute to the further development of the field.
