This book presents an Orchestra model that attempts to articulate technology, organizations and people. It examines technological and philosophical concepts that managers, technicians and all those interested in the design of artifacts need to consider.
Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization presents algorithms for constrained and unconstrained optimization and for reinforcement learning.
This book explains the underlying physical mechanisms of flow-induced pulsation and vibration, and their possible effects. Discusses links between state-of the-art CFD computation and notorious practical problems, and offers data on normal vibration levels.

AIDS continually presents new questions for the obstetrician and gynecologist. These and other questions were addressed by the 19th Study Group of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, whose findings are reported here.
In two comprehensive volumes, updated and revised in a second edition, this textbook spans elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic types, and several variables. This second part emphasizes functional analytic methods and applications to differential geometry.
The first of two volumes that comprehensively treat partial differential equations, this revised second edition focuses on geometric and complex variable methods involving integral representations. Topics such as Brouwer's mapping degree are treated in detail.
As well as offering the reader a complete theory of Sobolev spaces, this volume explains how the abstract methods of convex analysis can be combined with this theory to produce existence results for the solutions of non-linear elliptic boundary problems.
This book takes a practical approach to maintenance management programs for companies involved in network infrastructure such as distribution of gas, electricity and telecommunications. Case studies illustrate framework design, performance evaluation and more.
Linear Algebra and Linear Models comprises a concise and rigorous introduction to linear algebra required for statistics followed by the basic aspects of the theory of linear estimation and hypothesis testing.
