This book investigates what is driving Iran's nuclear weapons programme in a less-hostile regional environment, using a theory of protracted conflicts to explicate proliferation.
Iran’s nuclear weapons program has alarmed the international community since the 1990s, but has come to the forefront of international security...
Understanding elastomer friction is essential for the development of tyres, but also for sealings and other components. Thus it is of great technical importance. There are many aspects to modelling frictional processes in which an elastomer is interacting with a rough surface, ranging from theoretical formulations, leading to reduced and...
We have been very pleased, beyond our expectations, with the reception of
the first edition of this book. Bioinformatics, however, continues to evolve
very rapidly, hence the need for a new edition. In the past three years, fullgenome
sequencing has blossomed with the completion of the sequence of
the fly and the first draft of the...

The goal of this Lecture Note is to prove a new type of limit theorems for normalized sums of strongly dependent random variables that play an important role in probability theory or in statistical physics. Here non-linear functionals of stationary Gaussian fields are considered, and it is shown that the theory of Wiener–Itô...

The contributing authors share diverse perspectives on and extensive discussions of issues concerning the theory, applications, and future prospects. Addressing computing methodologies, hardware information systems...
We can ask heretical questions such as why OOP should be used in all programming situations as many of its proponents insist. We can question the wisdom of allowing C programmers to write the narratives and code examples for the Help system in VB.NET. We can wonder why structures are included in VB.NET if OOP experts insist that you should...
