"A comprehensive framework for understanding species coexistence is the central concept in community ecology, but an understanding of this concept requires that we study the actual mechanisms of...

In this classic book, first published in 1962, L. R. Ford, Jr., and D. R. Fulkerson set the foundation for the study of network flow problems. The models and algorithms introduced in Flows in...

Understanding the dynamics of reactive polymer processes allows scientists to create new, high value, high performance polymers. Chemorheology of Polymers provides an indispensable resource for...

The prediction of turbulent flows is of paramount importance in the development of complex engineering systems involving flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions. Arising from a programme...

Stellar populations, the building blocks of galaxies, are direct tracers of a galaxy's star formation history, its chemical enrichment and the assembly of galaxies in the Universe. This last decade...

"Classicist Carawan explores changes in the judicial review of laws in ancient democratic Athens over time. Reassessing the accumulated evidence, he constructs a new model of how the courts shaped...

Peters and Hunold (American politics at the U. of Pittsburgh and political science at Drexel U., respectively) analyze changes in European politics and their consequences on the workplace, voting,...

Doctors, nurses, and other caregivers often know what people with Alzheimer's disease or Asperger's 'sound like' - that is they recognise patterns in people's discourse, from sounds and silences, to...

In The Return of the Real Hal Foster discusses the development of art and theory since 1960, and reorders the relation between prewar and postwar avant-gardes. Opposed to the assumption that...

Advances in epilepsy research are occurring at a rapid rate, resulting in a bewildering wealth of data. The implications of this new knowledge for future research and clinical practice can be...

As the structures in our Universe are mapped out on ever larger scales, and with increasing detail, the use of inhomogeneous models is becoming an essential tool for analyzing and understanding them...

An accessible guide to understanding statistics using simulations, with examples from a range of scientific disciplines Real-world challenges such as small sample sizes, skewed distributions of...

The Final Volume of the Groundbreaking Trilogy on Agent-Based ModelingIn this pioneering synthesis, Joshua Epstein introduces a new theoretical entity: Agent_Zero. This software individual, or...

An analysis of standard evolutionary dynamics adapted to extensive form games. Evolutionary game theory attempts to predict individual behavior (whether of humans or other species) when interactions...

"The life sciences deal with a vast array of problems at different spatial, temporal, and organizational scales. The mathematics necessary to describe, model, and analyze these problems is similarly...

The philosophy of Robert Boyle (1627-1691) is a hot topic in early modern philosophy. Boyle was at the centre of the scientific community of 17th-century England, and an accurate view of the...
