The material for this book is adapted from course material for senior undergraduates and Master’s students in measurement and instrumentation. It deals with basic concepts of electronic measurement systems, the functionality of their subparts and the interaction between them. This book, emanating ... More

Providing a structured overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contaminants, this is the first textbook to approach the environmental issues of soil and water contamination from a spatial and earth science point of view. The book deals with all topics essential to understanding and... More

Found throughout the biosphere, nitrogen plays a key role in such biomolecules as proteins, amino sugars like chitin and peptidoglucans, DNA and RNO, and chlorophyll. Despite nitrogen's abundance, its fate once an organism dies is not always well understood. This book presents the latest research on... More

This book lays the algebraic foundations of a Galois theory of linear difference equations and shows its relationship to the analytic problem of finding meromorphic functions asymptotic to formal solutions of difference equations. Classically, this latter question was attacked by Birkhoff and Tritzi... More

Linear differential equations form the central topic of this volume, Galois theory being the unifying theme.A large number of aspects are presented: algebraic theory especially differential Galois theory, formal theory, classification, algorithms to decide solvability in finite terms, monodromy and ...

The theory of rigid (analytic) spaces, originally invented to describe degenerations, reductions, and moduli of algebraic curves and abelian varieties, has undergone significant growth in the last two decades; today the theory has applications to arithmetic algebraic geometry, number theory, the ari...

Dynamic and Robust Streaming in and between Connected Consumer-Electronic Devices addresses a subject that is becoming more important over the years. On the one hand the arrival of home networks is imminent, and on the other hand we notice that chips integrate more and more functionality. The home n... More
