Integer Programming and Related Areas
The fields of integer programming and combinatorial optimization continue to be areas of great vitality, with an ever increasing number of publications and journals appearing. A classified bibliography thus continues to be necessary and useful today, even more so than it did when the project, of which this is the fifth volume, was started in 1970 in the Institut fur Okonometrie und Operations Research of the University of Bonn. The pioneering first volume was compiled by Claus Kastning during the years 1970 - 1975 and appeared in 1976 as Volume 128 of the series Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems published by the Springer Verlag. Work on the project was continued by Dirk Hau...
Supercontinuum Generation in Specialty Optical Fibers
This book focuses on the basic understanding of specialty optical fibers, their applications in mid-IR light generation, and cutting-edge research in the field. The book provides all the basic knowledge about specialty optical fibers and their characteristics, including dispersion, losses, propagation of modes, and so forth. Finally, the technologies based on optical fibers and their applications in all prospective areas of research are discussed. Features: Provides an introduction to the history of the specialty optical fibers, and technologies based on specialty optical fibers Explores specific applications of mid-IR supercontinuum generation in specialty optical fibers Discusses the fabrication of specialty optical fiber-based photonic devices Reviews the integration of nanotechnology with specialty optical fibers Details future prospectives of specialty optical fiber-based photonic devices This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in photonics, optics, physics, and photonic crystal fibers.
Biology of Termites: a Modern Synthesis
Biology of Termites, a Modern Synthesis brings together the major advances in termite biology, phylogenetics, social evolution and biogeography. In this new volume, David Bignell, Yves Roisin and Nathan Lo have brought together leading experts on termite taxonomy, behaviour, genetics, caste differentiation, physiology, microbiology, mound architecture, biogeography and control. Very strong evolutionary and developmental themes run through the individual chapters, fed by new data streams from molecular sequencing, and for the first time it is possible to compare the social organisation of termites with that of the social Hymenoptera, focusing on caste determination, population genetics, cooperative behaviour, nest hygiene and symbioses with microorganisms. New chapters have been added on termite pheromones, termites as pests of agriculture and on destructive invasive species.
Unsolved Problems in Number Theory
Second edition sold 2241 copies in N.A. and 1600 ROW. New edition contains 50 percent new material.
Photonic Crystals
This book provides the theoretical background required for modelling photonic crystals and their optical properties, while presenting the large variety of devices where photonic crystals have found application. As such, it aims at building bridges between optics, electromagnetism and solid state physics. This second edition includes the most recent developments of two-dimensional photonic crystal devices, as well as some of the last results reported on metamaterials.

Ecology, Systematics, and the Natural History of Predaceous Diving Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Predaceous diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) constitute one of the largest families of freshwater insects (~ 4,200 species). Although dytiscid adults and larvae are ubiquitous throughout a variety of aquatic habitats and are significant predators on other aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates, there are no compilations that have focused on summarizing the knowledge of their ecology, systematics, and biology. Such knowledge would benefit anyone working in aquatic systems where dytiscids are an important part of the food web. Moreover, this work will allow a greater appreciation of dytiscids as model organisms for investigations of fundamental principles derived from ecological and evolutionary theory. Contributed chapters are by authors who are actively engaged in studying dytiscids and each chapter offers a synthesis of the current knowledge of a variety of topics and will provide future directions for research.
