Applications in Maintenance, Reliability and Design provides a complete overview of all relevant failure mechanisms, ranging from mechanical failures like fatigue and creep to corrosion and electric failures.

The first paper on this subject was published in 1976 and since then over 100 papers on rheumatological topics have been published, from Prof Ebringer's group, at the Division of Life Sciences, King's College in London, UK.

Reliability and Safety of Complex Technical Systems and Processes offers a comprehensive approach to the analysis, identification, evaluation, prediction and optimization of complex technical systems operation, reliability and safety.

The first systematic survey of Healthcare Infrastructure, this book describes the inevitable future of health systems. This book outlines how the health of populations will be measured at the level of individuals, combining engineering and medicine to support viable health systems for the first time.

This book presents a guide to the core features of Java - and some more recent innovations - enabling the reader to build skills and confidence though tried-and-trusted stages, supported by exercises that reinforce key learning points.

In recent years, rapid changes and improvements have been witnessed in the field of transformer condition monitoring and assessment, especially with the advances in computational intelligence techniques.

This research monograph gives a detailed review of the state-of-the-art theoretical methodologies for the analysis of dissipative wave dynamics and pattern formation on the surface of a film falling down a planar, inclined substrate.

Here you'll find a comprehensive insight into the intelligence and dexterity of robotic multi-fingered hands from both the physical and control-theoretic viewpoints. It moves on to clarify what kinds of sensory-motor coordinated signals are necessary and sufficient for realizing stable grasping as well as object manipulation.

Peter Higgins distills centuries of work into one delightful narrative that celebrates the mystery of numbers and explains how different kinds of numbers arose and why they are useful.

The book uniquely details an approach to real-time machine vision for the understanding of dynamic scenes, viewed from a moving platform that begins with spatio-temporal representations of motion for hypothesized objects whose parameters are adjusted by well-known prediction error feedback and recursive estimation techniques.

Talks about urinary incontinence, prolapse and fecal incontinence, giving the practical elements. This book summarizes the practical patient management based upon the available evidence and author's own clinical experience, indicating controversial areas where there is insufficient evidence.

This book describes the principles of model building in financial engineering. It is the first book to cover the topic of Java implementations for finance/investment applications and is written specifically to be accessible to software practitioners without prior accountancy/finance training.

This text discusses fundamental theories of nonlinear control. It details the small-gain and passivity theorems, and recent developments in nonlinear passivity-based and robust H-infinity control. This edition also includes new material on feedback passifiability.

Inclusive coverage of all the essential neural network applications in a statistical learning framework makes this a baseline text for students and researchers, with 25 chapters on all the major approaches that include a wealth of examples and exercises.

Covering key areas of evaluation and methodology, client-side applications, specialist and novel technologies, along with initial appraisals of disabilities, this important book provides comprehensive coverage of web accessibility.

This book introduces perspective, and discusses the mathematics of perspective in a detailed, yet accessible style. This essential resource for computer professionals both within and outside the field of Computer Graphics is also suitable for graduates and advanced undergraduates in Computer Graphics and Computer-Aided Design.

This book on pelvic floor re-education provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, along with other aspects of the clinical assessment and management of pelvic floor disorders. Practical techniques of muscle assessment and investigative methodologies are reviewed and up-to-date information on anatomy and physiology is discussed.

This book provides a comprehensive account of the cellular pathology of glandular lesions and uncommon neoplasms of the cervix and places these in a contemporary clinical context. Cellular Pathology of Glandular Lesions and Uncommon Neoplasms of the Cervix is aimed at both trainee and consultant pathologists.

Information theory has proved to be effective for solving many computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR) problems (such as image matching, clustering and segmentation, saliency detection, feature selection, optimal classifier design and many others).

This book will appeal to both graduate students and researchers with an interest in topology, the history of mathematics, the foundations of mathematics, philosophy and general science.

This self-contained, mathematical introduction to the development and theory of linear models is aimed primarily at undergraduate students of mathematics. It includes numerous worked examples and exercises with full solutions.

This book explains the principal techniques of data mining, for classification, association rule mining and clustering. Each topic is clearly explained and illustrated by detailed examples, with a focus on algorithms rather than mathematical formalism.

Online files are included in the manuscript file.
