The second edition enhanced with new chapters, figures, and appendices to cover the new developments in applied mathematical functions This book examines the topics of applied mathematical functions to problems that engineers and researchers solve daily in the course of their work. The text covers set theory, combinatorics, random variables, discrete and continuous probability, distribution functions, convergence of random variables, computer generation of random variates, random processes and stationarity concepts with associated autocovariance and cross covariance functions, estimation theory and Wiener and Kalman filtering ending with two applications of probabilistic methods. Probability tables with nine decimal place accuracy and graphical Fourier transform tables are included for quick reference. The author facilitates understanding of probability concepts for both students and practitioners by presenting over 450 carefully detailed figures and illustrations, and over 350 examples with every step explained clearly and some with multiple solutions. Additional features of the second edition of Probability and Random Processes are: Updated chapters with new sections on Newton-Pepys’ problem; Pearson, Spearman, and Kendal correlation coefficients; adaptive estimation techniques; birth and death processes; and renewal processes with generalizations A new chapter on Probability Modeling in Teletraffic Engineering written by Kavitha Chandra An eighth appendix examining the computation of the roots of discrete probability-generating functions With new material on theory and applications of probability, Probability and Random Processes, Second Edition is a thorough and comprehensive reference for commonly occurring problems in probabilistic methods and their applications.

The world has changed. It's not as easy to meet people, and it's definitely not as easy to find your soul mate. At the very core, two people need to have similar styles, interests, and values when it comes to loving and living. So, how do you find lasting love? Dr. Pepper Schwartz believes that if you’re ready for a serious relationship, it's time for a serious approach. Described by Dr. Judith Sills as "insightful, brilliantly original and extremely useful," Dr. Schwartz's DuetTM Total Compatibility System is designed to help you find someone you'll be compatible with on the deepest levels. Finding Your Perfect Match will help you: Identify the eight romantic personality characteristics that determine who you are, what you want and ultimately, who you should be with. Explore the five major lifestyle issues that can have a dramatic impact on you and your partner: money, sex, children, core values, and social life. A lasting, loving relationship can only develop with someone who matches those needs and is truly compatible with you, but it's not as hard as you think. You just have to be willing to take a different approach. Dr. Schwartz has done thirty years of relationship research to save you a lifetime of searching.

This volume offers a review of oil inputs to the Mediterranean Sea from sources such as shipping, and offshore exploration and exploitation activities. It discusses international measures to prepare for, respond to, and prevent oil pollution incidents, as well as the international legal framework and agencies with a role in pollution prevention and responses. It includes chapters on modeling the fate of oil pollution, oil spill response, and oil spill beaching probability, and presents data from a range of sources, including historic data on shipping accidents and oil exploration and exploitation activities, satellite and remote sensing data, and numerical modelling data, to provide an overview of oil pollution over several years. Topics covered include modelling of oil slicks in the eastern and western Mediterranean basins, oil exploration and exploitation activities in the waters of the Levantine Basin (Eastern Mediterranean), and signatures to and ratification of the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols, for example. Together with the companion volume Oil Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea: Part II - National Case Studies, it addresses both national and international measures in the region, making it of relevance to the agencies and government bodies tasked with remediating or preventing oil pollution, as well as policymakers and practitioners in the fields of shipping, ports and terminals, oil extraction and marine management. It provides researchers with essential reference material on tools and techniques for monitoring oil pollution, and serves as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of marine oil pollution.

Wet snow sprays from Arara’s paws as she bounces after her father, who is checking his trap lines. Falling snow from the trees platters around her. In the distance branches crack and fall, broken by the weight of the melting snow. She’s supposed to be at school today, but she convinced him to take her hunting instead. School is horrible anyway. This is so much better. The warm spring air brings her spirits back up that had been brought low by schoolyard bullies. Her father’s ahead when there’s a loud crack right above her head. Arara freezes, staring up at a giant branch falling right towards her. She screams, but the branch stops falling inches from her upturned snout. Hovering there, weightless. Held, she realizes, by her. This changes everything. This is a prequel story to Flower's Fang.
