This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science, FST&TCS '96, held in Hyderabad, India, in December 1996. The volume presents 28 revised full papers selected from a total of 98 submissions; also included are four invited contributions. The papers are organized in topical sections on computational geometry, process algebras, program semantics, algorithms, rewriting and equational-temporal logics, complexity theory, and type theory.
This book provides a comprehensive presentation on most of the major topics in nonlinear optics and photonics, with equal emphasis on principles, experiments, techniques, and applications. It covers many major new topics including optical solitons, multi-photon effects, nonlinear photoelectric effects, fast and slow light , and Terahertz photonics. Chapters 1-10 present the fundamentals of modern nonlinear optics, and could be used as a textbook with problems provided at the end of each chapter. Chapters 11-17 cover the more advanced topics of techniques and applications of nonlinear optics and photonics, serving as a highly informative reference for researchers and experts working in related areas. There are also 16 pages of color photographs to illustrate the visual appearances of some typical nonlinear optical effects and phenomena. The book could be adopted as a textbook for both undergraduates and graduate students, and serve as a useful reference work for researchers and experts in the fields of physics, quantum electronics, and laser technology.

The opportunities and challenges of using dendrimers to improve drug delivery Among pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers, the use of dendrimers in drug delivery systems has attracted increasing interest. In particular, researchers have noted that the volume of a dendrimer increases when it has a positive charge. If this property can be applied effectively, dendrimers have enormous potential in drug delivery systems, directly supplying medication to targeted human organs. With contributions from an international team of pioneers and experts in dendrimer research, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research efforts in designing and optimizing dendrimer-based drug de...
This book explores the interrelationship of genetics, the environment, or both, in the causation of three neurodevelopmental disorders: autism/autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and cerebral palsy (CP). It links common clinical problems in developmental pediatrics and pediatric neurology to current concepts and translational research advances in developmental neurosciences, medical genetics, and related disciplines. The first section of the book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of development of the brain, including topics such as neuronal stem cells, epigenetics, and the influence of the prenatal environment. The next three sections analy...

This book is a collection of contributions written by philosophers and scientists active in different fields, such as mathematics, logics, social sciences, computer sciences and linguistics. They comment on and discuss various parts of and subjects and propositions introduced in the Handbook of Analytical Philosophy of Medicine from Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh, published by Springer in 2012. This volume reports on the fruitful exchange and debate that arose in the fuzzy community upon the publication of the Handbook. This was not only very much appreciated by the community but also seen as a critical starting point for beginning a new discussion. The results of this discussion, which involved many di...
Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics provides a concise and practical introduction to the core components of discrete mathematics, featuring a balanced mix of basic theories and applications. The book covers both fundamental concepts such as sets and logic, as well as advanced topics such as graph theory and Turing machines. The example-driven approach will help readers in understanding and applying the concepts. Other pedagogical tools - illustrations, practice questions, and suggested reading - facilitate learning and mastering the subject."--Cover

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, APPROX 2000, held in Saarbrcken, Germany in September 2000. The 22 revised full papers presented together with four invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The topics dealt with include design and analysis of approximation algorithms, inapproximibility results, on-line problems, randomization techniques, average-case analysis, approximation classes, scheduling problems, routing and flow problems, coloring and partitioning, cuts and connectivity, packing and covering, geometric problems, network design, and various applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th Annual Conference on Learning Theory, COLT 2005, held in Bertinoro, Italy in June 2005. The 45 revised full papers together with three articles on open problems presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 120 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on: learning to rank, boosting, unlabeled data, multiclass classification, online learning, support vector machines, kernels and embeddings, inductive inference, unsupervised learning, generalization bounds, query learning, attribute efficiency, compression schemes, economics and game theory, separation results for learning models, and survey and prospects on open problems.
