Linear Algebra and Its Applications – 9780471751564
Linear Algebra and Its ApplicationsAuthor(s): Peter D. Lax Format: Hardback Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States Imprint: Wiley-Interscience ISBN-13: 9780471751564, 978-0471751564 Synopsis This set features Linear Algebra and Its Applications, Second Edition [tel] Linear Algebra and Its Applications, Second Edition presents linear algebra as the theory and practice of linear spaces and linear maps with a unique focus on the analytical aspects as well as the numerous applications of the subject. In addition to thorough coverage of linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, game theory, and numerical analysis, the Second Edition features student-friendly additions that enhance the book’s accessibility, including expanded topical coverage in the early chapters, additional exercises, and solutions to selected problems. Beginning chapters are devoted to the abstract structure of finite dimensional vector spaces, and subsequent chapters address convexity and the duality theorem as well as describe the basics of normed linear spaces and linear maps between normed spaces. Further updates and revisions have been included to reflect the most up-to-date coverage of the topic, including: The QR algorithm for finding the eigenvalues of a self-adjoint matrix The Householder algorithm for turning self-adjoint matrices into tridiagonal form The compactness of the unit ball as a criterion of finite dimensionality of a normed linear space Additionally, eight new appendices have been added and cover topics such as: the Fast Fourier Transform; the spectral radius theorem; the Lorentz group; the compactness criterion for finite dimensionality; the characterization of commentators; proof of Liapunov’s stability criterion; the construction of the Jordan Canonical form of matrices; and Carl Pearcy’s elegant proof of Halmos’ conjecture about the numerical range of matrices. Clear, concise, and superbly organized, Linear Algebra and Its Applications, Second Edition serves as an excellent text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in linear algebra. Its comprehensive treatment of the subject also makes it an ideal reference or self-study for industry professionals. and Functional Analysis [tel] both by Peter D. Lax.

Mobilizing the Information Society Please note: this item is printed on demand and will take extra time before it can be dispatched to you (up to 20 working days). Strategies for Growth and Opportunity Author(s): Robin Mansell, W. Edward Steinmueller Format: Hardback Publisher: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom Imprint: Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 9780198295563, 978-0198295563 Synopsis ‘Mobilizing the Information Society’ provides a critical assessment of progress towards the Information Society. It begins from the premise that the construction of the Information Society in Europe is a dynamic process and that the journey towards a society that is so heavily dependent on capacities to generate, distribute, and use digital information is far from straightforward. The book draws upon empirical research generated by researchers based in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Italy, and France that was originally funded by the European Commission’s Fourth Framework Advanced Communication Technologies and Services (ACTS) Programme which ran from 1994 to 1998. This book updates the original research, integrates the results around core themes, and provides an assessment of progress that has been made towards addressing key issues of interest to policy makers, the business community, and technology and service users. The authors lay the foundation for more useful theories of the process of change, more appropriate strategies to achieve the desired aims, and more effective policies for increasing the benefits and mitigating the effects of dislocation and exclusion from the Information Society. ‘Mobilizing the Information Society’ provides unique insights into the social, economic, and political forces that are structuring the pathway to the Information Society – and its consequences for business and individuals in their everyday lives.
Cancer as a Metabolic Disease – 9780470584927
Cancer as a Metabolic DiseaseOn the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer Author(s): Thomas Seyfried Format: Hardback Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States Imprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc ISBN-13: 9780470584927, 978-0470584927 Synopsis The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention.?It expands upon Otto Warburg’s well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism.? However, Warburg did not link his theory to the “hallmarks of cancer” and thus his theory was discredited.? This book aims to provide?evidence, through case studies,?that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring?metabolic solutions for?its management and prevention.? Support for this position is?derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories.? Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the?same?cellular mutations that they demonstrate.

Resource Book on Trips and Development by Unctad-Ictsd: Ex Library in VGC
The Resource Book, conceived as a practical guide to the TRIPS Agreement, provides detailed analysis of each of its provisions, aiming at a sound understanding of WTO Members’ rights and obligations. The purpose is to clarify the implications of the Agreement especially highlighting the areas in which the treaty leaves leeway to Members for the pursuit of their own policy objectives, according to their respective levels of development. In doing so, the book does not produce tailor-made prescriptions but gives guidance on the implications of specific issues and on the options available. The book is not limited to the analysis of the TRIPS Agreement but to the consideration of related questions and developments at the national, regional, and international level.
