This is the first comprehensive book on the autonomous vehicles as a part of the smart transportation systems. It was written by scientists and engineers who had been actively contributing to the development of technical knowledge in this field. The authors tried to cover both the theoretical background and the multitude of practical issues related to either commercially-available or laboratory-validated vehicular technologies. The book will be invaluable not only for engineers directly concerned with the development of autonomous vehicles, but also to those who are interested in various fields that overlap with these specific topics: power engineering, electrical drives, control systems, sensors and actuators and artificial intelligence. Technical executives concerned with intelligent transportation systems will also find it timely and important.

Acne vulgaris is a highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous units. It is the most common skin disease affecting more than 85% of teenagers and young adults. It is not known how often these affected individuals would seek medical advice and treatment, but studies have shown that their quality of life can be severely compromised. The pathophysiology of acne involves increased production of sebum, proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes with resultant increase in chemotactic factors and pro-inflammatory mediators which lead to inflammation, release of lipids into the sebaceous duct and follicle, and obstruction of the pilosebaceous canal caused by hyperproliferation and shedding of keratinocytes in clumps. Hormonal and genetic factors also play major roles. This book offers information pertinent to this widespread condition.

This book has two main parts, one that examines what the world has learned so far in dealing with ageing and another which discusses how such a country as China has kept up with that learning. By combining general reviews with case studies in a comparative context, the book illustrates the "state of the art" via a multidisciplinary approach to understanding Western and non-Western experiences. The book is a must-have for students and researchers interested in social, behavioural, and humanistic inquiry as well as public policy analysis related to ageing with some of the leading experts that helped to define or redefine the fields.

Advances in Mathematics Research presents original studies on the leading edge of mathematics. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics discussed include using mathematical tessellation to model spherical particle packing structures; further results on fractional calculus for non-differentiable functions applications to z-transform and generalized functions; low earth orbit satellite constellations for local telecommunication and monitoring services; algorithm for autonomously calibrating reference flat of interferometer and residual influence of linear shift with two-flat method; dealing with non-significant interactions statuses between treatments by a suggested statistical approach; stochastic simultaneous perturbation as powerful method for state and parameter estimation in high dimensional systems; bounded trajectories of unstable piecewise linear systems and its applications; mathematical modeling for predicting battery lifetime through electrical models; and mathematical modeling of the lithium-ion battery lifetime using system identification theory.
