This book is intended as a "refresher' course in mathematics for scientists, engineers, and technicians. It begins with a review of arithmetic, and progresses through intermediate and advanced topics, including algebra, trigonometry, geometry, coordinate systems, calculus, differential equations, complex numbers, series, logarithms, and digital logic. It is assumed that you have already been exposed to the topics in this book. If you haven't — for example, if you have never before seen calculus — you should take a basic course on that subject first, and use this book as a supplement and as a future reference. But maybe you took calculus in college, and that was 20 years ago! The concepts are still in your mind, but they're no longer right up in front. In that case, this book can bring things back to the surface, so you can again work easily with concepts you learned a long time ago.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can help to increase safety and comfort 4 on the road'. As an element for active, i.e., preventive safety, these VANETs can efficiently warn and inform drivers via direct wireless inter-vehicle communications. Thereby, the range of awareness of a driver is extended from current line-of-sight to the radio range of a wireless transceiver. With multi-hop communication, each vehicle can benefit from the locally sensed data of surrounding vehicles or from multi-hop access opportunities. Clearly, sensing, disseminating and retrieving information on the current surrounding shows a potential for improving transport efficiency and comfort. Vehicular ad hoc networks represent a major technological challenge. Safety-related applications require a high degree of reliability and robustness of the communication system. Unfortunately, vehicular scenarios present adverse channel conditions due to the potential high mobility as well as density of nodes and high number of objects able to degrade the quality of a transmitted signal. All applications have to efficiently make use of the scarce bandwidth resource as well. Therefore, efficient and effective medium access control, routing, and data forwarding mechanisms play an essential role. Applications need clever data aggregation strategies to avoid an overload on the wireless medium.

For nearly 50 years I have worked exclusively in the agricultural and food industries. My work has been in government as a research analyst; in industry as a hands-on technologist in product development, with a research association in charge of meat products research, and later as vice president, Technical Services, of a multinational food company; in academia as an associate professor teaching and directing research in added value poultry products; and in private practice as a food consultant. During the course of this work, I visited growers, food and ingredient manufacturers, and government research establishments in countries in North and South America, Asia, and Europe. I have lectured or conducted training courses in Canada, the United States of America, England, Ecuador, The Netherlands, China and Germany.

The cognoscenti, the small cadre of experts on diabetes in the elderly, will skip this foreword and dive right into the individual chapters. There they will find many treasures related to clinical science and clinical care, as well as historical vignettes and current controversies related to diabetes in the older patient. You, by reading this foreword in a book on diabetes in the elderly patient, are marking yourselves as non-expert but you are clearly ahead of your medical colleagues. You are recognizing that the excellent textbooks on diabetes and excellent textbooks on geriatric medicine, though they cover medical care of the older patient, typically fall short in dealing with the older patient with diabetes.

The highest goal of science, as it is applied to medicine, is to alleviate human suffering. Current research on genes and the human brain focuses on diseases and disorders of the central nervous system, with a broader perspective of obtaining an understanding of how the brain works and how it can be helped to work better if there is a problem. The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited disorders that cause progressive neurological dysfunction. The clinical characteristics may vary from individual to individual and include retinal degeneration, which can lead to progressive blindness, cognitive and/or motor dysfunction, and epilepsy. These disorders mainly affect infants and children; rarely adults. In the past, the NCLs were diagnosed and categorized into four forms on the basis of age-at-onset and ultrastructural findings.

The dynamical behaviour of civil engineering structures has traditionally been tackled, for design purposes, in an ‘equivalent static’ way, essentially by introducing magnification factors for vertically applied loads and/or by specifying equivalent horizontal loads. Today the availability of software able to deal explicitly with dynamic analysis of realistic structures with many (dynamic) degrees of freedom, as well as the outcome of the valuable research carried out in the various fields included under ‘Dynamics’, make this type of analysis a part of everyday life in the design office. There are also a number of good reasons why dynamical behaviour of buildings, bridges and other structures is now more of a concern for the designer than it used to be 20 or 30 years ago. One reason is that the aforementioned structures currently consist of structural members that are more slender than before, and lighter cladding made of metal and glass or composites rather than of brick walls.

It is now nine years since the first edition was published. In that time there have been many developments in the financial world, and in our own views about financial strategy. Feedback from several generations of MBA students and executives has also guided our thoughts. Accordingly, we believe that this edition is more understandable and more relevant to the needs of students and managers today.

Continental rifling and associated processes of lithospheric extension have been among the most active research frontiers in the Earth sciences over the past four decades. These subjects cover a wide range of interconnected fundamental processes occurring in an important part of the Earth for mankind-- the continental crust and lithosphere--and have captured the interest and attention of researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines in the solidearth sciences. These disciplines range from classical field geology through newly developed techniques and capabilities for seismological and electromagnetic probing of the Earth, to sophisticated and realistic dynamical modeling with high-speed supercomputers. For more than 30 years, working groups and study committees composed of international researchers focusing on the problems of the Earth's rift zones have been organized under the aegis of programs promoting international cooperative research in the geosciences, such as the International Upper Mantle Project, the Geodynamics Project, and the International Lithosphere Program.

It should be noted that this book, although it contains some materials from a previously published work, it is by no means the same. Each chemical agent listing has been expanded to include significant additional information. In particular, the listings now include sections containing Informational, Physical and Chemical Properties, Reactivity, Toxicity, Safety, and Military Significant Information. Although listed as Military Significant Information, this section can be used by any first responder, or any person in the field. It is not strictly for military use.

In the early 1980s, the problem of acidification was acknowledged on a governmental level in the Netherlands as posing a major environmental threat. The concern for damage to forests and ecosystems, and materials and monuments, as well as for acidification of soils and moorland pools stimulated research and policy development. Acid deposition was used as a characterisation of the atmospheric input leading to these effects. As such, wet and dry deposition of acids, and dry deposition of acid precursors as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, were considered. At the same time, the important role of ammonia in the acidification of soils and moorland pools was acknowledged. Ammonia, the most important acid neutralising component in the atmosphere, was shown to be nitrified to an important extent in soil into nitric acid, thereby contributing to acidification. This led to the concept of potential acid deposition, in which the deposition of actual acid (H +) was added to that of potential acid (ammonia + ammonium). Moreover, the role of atmospheric nitrogen input was recognised as a disturbing factor for natural ecosystems and forests growing on poor soils.
