Computational Electromagnetics
Computational Electromagnetics is a young and growing discipline, expanding as a result of the steadily increasing demand for software for the design and analysis of electrical devices. This book introduces three of the most popular numerical methods for simulating electromagnetic fields: the finite difference method, the finite element method and the method of moments. In particular it focuses on how these methods are used to obtain valid approximations to the solutions of Maxwell's equations, using, for example, "staggered grids" and "edge elements." The main goal of the book is to make the reader aware of different sources of errors in numerical computations, and also to provide the tools for assessing the accuracy of numerical methods and their solutions. To reach this goal, convergence analysis, extrapolation, von Neumann stability analysis, and dispersion analysis are introduced and used frequently throughout the book. Another major goal of the book is to provide students with enough practical understanding of the methods so they are able to write simple programs on their own. To achieve this, the book contains several MATLAB programs and detailed description of practical issues such as assembly of finite element matrices and handling of unstructured meshes.
Commodity derivatives : Markets and applications
The second edition includes discussions of critical new topics like dual curve swap valuation, option valuation within a negative price environment using the Bachelier model, volatility skews, smiles, smirks, term structures for major commodities, and more. You’ll find case studies on corporate failures linked to improper commodity risk management, as well as explorations of issues like the impact of growing interest in electric vehicles on commodity markets.
Combinatorial pattern matching ; 18th Annual Symposium, CPM 2007, London, Canada, July 9-11, 2007, Proceedings
This book presented original research contri- tions on computational pattern matching and analysis, data compression and compressed text processing, sufix arrays and trees, and computational biology. Combinatorial Pattern Matching addresses issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays.The goal is to derive non-trivial combinatorial properties of such structures and to exploit these properties in order to either achieve superior performance for the corresponding computational problems or pinpoint conditions under which searches cannot be performed eficiently.
Combinatorial pattern matching ; 12th Annual Symposium, CPM 2001 Jerusalem, Israel, July 1-4, 2001 Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, CPM 2001, held in Jerusalem, Israel, in July 2001. The 21 revised papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers are devoted to current theoretical and algorithmic issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays as well as to advanced applications of CPM in areas such as the Internet, computational biology, multimedia systems, information retrieval, data compression, coding, computer vision, and pattern recognition.
Combinatorial optimization and applications ; 1st International Conference, COCOA 2007, Xi'an, China, August 14-16, 2007, Proceedings
This book presented feature original research in the areas of combinatorial optimization - both theoretical issues and and applications motivated by real-world problems thus showing convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting.
Column Generation
Column Generation is an insightful overview of the state of the art in integer programming column generation and its many applications. The volume begins with "A Primer in Column Generation" which outlines the theory and ideas necessary to solve large-scale practical problems, illustrated with a variety of examples. Other chapters follow this introduction on "Shortest Path Problems with Resource Constraints," "Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window," "Branch-and-Price Heuristics," "Cutting Stock Problems," each dealing with methodological aspects of the field. Three chapters deal with transportation applications: "Large-scale Models in the Airline Industry," "Robust Inventory Ship Routing by Column Generation," and "Ship Scheduling with Recurring Visits and Visit Separation Requirements." Production is the focus of another three chapters: "Combining Column Generation and Lagrangian Relaxation," "Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition for Job Shop Scheduling," and "Applying Column Generation to Machine Scheduling." The final chapter by François Vanderbeck, "Implementing Mixed Integer Column Generation," reviews how to set-up the Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation, adapt standard MIP techniques to the column generation context (branching, preprocessing, primal heuristics), and deal with specific column generation issues (initialization, stabilization, column management strategies).

Collective Bargaining and Wage Formation; Performance and Challenges
This volume considers the development of the wage formation and wage bargaining institutions as a response to changes in the bargaining environment. These changes include a lower level of inflation and the growth in intraindustrial trade as firms have become more specialised. The response to these changes will depend on the current institutions and on the characteristics of the bargaining system. Generally there has been some move towards decentralisation; the question is what should be bargained centrally and which issues should be transferred to lower levels. Some of the contributions pay special attention to Nordic regimes using survey results gathered from the Finnish labour market partners.
Collagen: Structure and Mechanics
Collagen: Structure and Mechanics provides a cohesive introduction to collagen-rich tissues, such as tendon, bone, cornea or arterials walls. Written in a clear and didactic manner, this volume reviews current knowledge on hierarchical structure, mechanical properties, deformation and strengthening mechanisms, and discusses many applications in biomaterials and tissue engineering.
Collagen : Primer in Structure, Processing and Assembly
This volume of Topics in Current Chemistry is an attempt to update and compile the biochemical, molecular knowledge of the still growing family of collagenous proteins. Its intention is to provide a comprehensive summary of all mechanisms known to be involved in synthesis, processing and deposition of collagen molecules, all of which are apparently shared by any known collagen type as part of a common biosynthetic route. From the intracellular initiation of protein translation to the extracellular deposition of mature molecules into the scaffold of the preformed tissue texture, collagen biosynthesis exhibits a profile of mechanisms absolutely unique when compared to other proteins
