This book is based on a unique TRIZ basics remote learning technology designed by the author. It contains more than 250 examples, assignments and solutions, and an in-depth discussion of methodological recommendations on practical implementation of theoretical postulates.
It does not require any special preliminary training, and can...

This literature study presents an overview of underwater acoustic networking. It provides a background and describes the state of the art of all networking facets that are relevant for underwater applications. This report serves both as an introduction to the subject and as a summary of existing protocols, providing support and inspiration...

Ausgehend von neuesten internationalen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeiten wird in dem Band eine Übersicht über die Realisierungsmöglichkeiten zukünftiger Antriebskonzepte präsentiert: von batteriebetriebenen Elektromotoren und Hybridsystemen über Brennstoffzellen bis hin zu alternativen Energieträgern wie...

Mathematical Modeling for Complex Fluids and Flows provides researchers and engineering practitioners encountering fluid flows with state-of-the-art knowledge in continuum concepts and associated fluid dynamics. In doing so it supplies the means to design mathematical models of these flows that adequately express the engineering physics...

Traditional software verification algorithms work by using a combination of Floyd-Hoare Logics, Model Checking and Abstract Interpretation, to check and infer suitable program invariants. However, these techniques are problematic in the presence of complex but ubiquitous constructs like generic data structures, first-class functions....

The first part of this book deals with the coverage of landline and mobile phones in Europe. It presents an overview of the coverage and the use of phones as well as the resulting strategies for telephone surveys. The second part addresses the challenge of so-called “mobile‐only” households for survey research. Numerous...

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interaction between researchers in theoretical computer science, networking and security, economics, mathematics, sociology,...

It was a real pleasure to have taken part in organizing the 10th International Conference on Cryptography and Network Security (CANS 2011). It was held during December 10–12, 2011, at the International Asia Pacific Convention Center in Sanya, on the subtropical island of Hainan (China). CANS 2011 was sponsored by the National...

The 13th IMA Conference on Cryptography and Coding was held at the Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, UK, during December 12–15, 2011. This event was a 25th anniversary celebration of the very successful biennial IMA conference series. Traditionally, the conference has taken place at the Royal Agricultural College,...

The book concerns the notion of association in probability and statistics. Association and some other positive dependence notions were introduced in 1966 and 1967 but received little attention from the probabilistic and statistics community. The interest in these dependence notions increased in the last 15 to 20 years, and many asymptotic...
