Cambridge University Press Wildlife Disease Ecology
Book SynopsisJust like humans, animals and plants suffer from infectious diseases, which can critically threaten biodiversity. This book describes key studies that have driven our understanding of the ecology and evolution of wildlife diseases. Each chapter introduces the host and disease, and explains how that system has aided our general understanding of the evolution and spread of wildlife diseases, through the development and testing of important epidemiological and evolutionary theories. Questions addressed include: How do hosts and parasites co-evolve? What determines how fast a disease spreads through a population? How do co-infecting parasites interact? Why do hosts vary in parasite burden? Which factors determine parasite virulence and host resistance? How do parasites influence the spread of invasive species? How do we control infectious diseases in wildlife? This book will provide a valuable introduction to students new to the topic, and novel insights to researchers, professionals and pTrade Review'Overall, this is a fascinating collection of studies that showcases why wildlife diseases are worthy of study and how combining field observations, experiments, mathematical models and the latest in genomic and molecular research provides not only research insight, but also contributes to effective conservation and management efforts.' Rob Robinson, British Trust for Ornithology'Advances in modeling, epidemiologic techniques, and genetics have been crucial in some examples treated by contributors, and the importance of long-term field studies, essential for understanding dynamic systems, is emphasized throughout the volume. Some studies are observational, some experimental, and some largely theoretical. All contributions are extensively referenced and effectively illustrated.' M. Gochfeld, Choice'Overall, this well-written book is, in my opinion, a valuable contribution that will encourage further collecting and analysing long-term data in the study of wildlife diseases. It also gives hope. The advances in our understanding of wildlife disease dynamics enable better planning of conservation and management efforts, as shown in the case of wild and farmed salmon or the bighorn sheep pneumonia. As such, it is undoubtedly of high value for researchers and managers working in the field of wildlife disease ecology, but also for advanced undergraduate students or academic lecturers who would like to broaden their knowledge. The book was a great company during the coronavirus lockdown and a fascinating journey through the realm of wildlife diseases. I highly recommend it!' Agata Mrugala, Basic and Applied Ecology'This book comes to fill an important niche in disease ecology: synthesizing the state of knowledge about wildlife disease ecology while integrating theoretical models with a wide variety empirical case studies … this book presents an invaluable synthesis of our knowledge of disease ecology in wildlife hosts.'

Cambridge University Press Random Graphs Geometry and Asymptotic Structure
Book SynopsisThe theory of random graphs is a vital part of the education of any researcher entering the fascinating world of combinatorics. However, due to their diverse nature, the geometric and structural aspects of the theory often remain an obscure part of the formative study of young combinatorialists and probabilists. Moreover, the theory itself, even in its most basic forms, is often considered too advanced to be part of undergraduate curricula, and those who are interested usually learn it mostly through self-study, covering a lot of its fundamentals but little of the more recent developments. This book provides a self-contained and concise introduction to recent developments and techniques for classical problems in the theory of random graphs. Moreover, it covers geometric and topological aspects of the theory and introduces the reader to the diversity and depth of the methods that have been devised in this context.Trade Review'The chapter on geometric graphs has plenty of exercises … the book will help many novices make their first steps in the field of random graphs.'

Cambridge University Press Sheaves and Functions Modulo p
Book SynopsisThe Woods Hole trace formula is a Lefschetz fixed-point theorem for coherent cohomology on algebraic varieties. It leads to a version of the sheaves-functions dictionary of Deligne, relating characteristic-p-valued functions on the rational points of varieties over finite fields to coherent modules equipped with a Frobenius structure. This book begins with a short introduction to the homological theory of crystals of Böckle and Pink with the aim of introducing the sheaves-functions dictionary as quickly as possible, illustrated with elementary examples and classical applications. Subsequently, the theory and results are expanded to include infinite coefficients, L-functions, and applications to special values of Goss L-functions and zeta functions. Based on lectures given at the Morningside Center in Beijing in 2013, this book serves as both an introduction to the Woods Hole trace formula and the sheaves-functions dictionary, and to some advanced applications on characteristic p zeta vTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. τ-sheaves, crystals, and their trace functions; 2.

Cambridge University Press Mathematical Explorations
Book SynopsisMathematical Explorations follows on from the author''s previous book, Creative Mathematics, in the same series, and gives the reader experience in working on problems requiring a little more mathematical maturity. The author''s main aim is to show that problems are often solved by using mathematics that is not obviously connected to the problem, and readers are encouraged to consider as wide a variety of mathematical ideas as possible. In each case, the emphasis is placed on the important underlying ideas rather than on the solutions for their own sake. To enhance understanding of how mathematical research is conducted, each problem has been chosen not for its mathematical importance, but because it provides a good illustration of how arguments can be developed. While the reader does not require a deep mathematical background to tackle these problems, they will find their mathematical understanding is enriched by attempting to solve them.Trade Review'The broad array of mathematics that is covered in this text might provide a thought-provoking summary of topics and give students an opportunity to expand their horizons.'

Cambridge University Press Numerical Solution of Differential Equations
Book SynopsisThis introduction to finite difference and finite element methods is aimed at graduate students who need to solve differential equations. The prerequisites are few (basic calculus, linear algebra, and ODEs) and so the book will be accessible and useful to readers from a range of disciplines across science and engineering. Part I begins with finite difference methods. Finite element methods are then introduced in Part II. In each part, the authors begin with a comprehensive discussion of one-dimensional problems, before proceeding to consider two or higher dimensions. An emphasis is placed on numerical algorithms, related mathematical theory, and essential details in the implementation, while some useful packages are also introduced. The authors also provide well-tested MATLAB codes, all available online.Trade Review'The authors of this volume on finite difference and finite element methods provide a sound and complete exposition of these two numerical techniques for solving differential equations. The text is divided into two independent parts, tackling the finite difference and finite element methods separately. The parts offer a balanced mix of theory, application, and examples to offer readers a thorough introduction to the material. They utilize MATLAB programming to provide various codes illustrating the applications and examples. … Overall, the textbook offers a solid introduction to finite difference methods and finite element methods that should be useful to graduate students in mathematics as well as to students in applied and interdisciplinary fields, such as engineering and economics, who need to solve differential equations numerically.'

Cambridge University Press Differential Games in Industrial Economics
Book SynopsisGame theory has revolutionised our understanding of industrial organisation and the traditional theory of the firm. Despite these advances, industrial economists have tended to rely on a restricted set of tools from game theory, focusing on static and repeated games to analyse firm structure and behaviour. Luca Lambertini, a leading expert on the application of differential game theory to economics, argues that many dynamic phenomena in industrial organisation (such as monopoly, oligopoly, advertising, R&D races) can be better understood and analysed through the use of differential games. After illustrating the basic elements of the theory, Lambertini guides the reader through the main models, spanning from optimal control problems describing the behaviour of a monopolist through to oligopoly games in which firms'' strategies include prices, quantities and investments. This approach will be of great value to students and researchers in economics and those interested in advanced applicaTable of Contents1.

He’s also good at deadpan humor." -- David Bodanis - Financial Times"Bhattacharya is a first-class science writer with an impeccable pedigree and he does the best job I have seen of explaining the significance of von Neumann's work across many different fields… A fine tribute to von Neumann's genius and his contributions to science." -- John Gribbin - Literary Review"[An] agile, intelligent, intellectually enraptured account of Von Neumann’s life." -- Simon Ings - Sunday Telegraph"Any future intelligence capable of sending a representative back in time to help invent itself will be intelligent enough to conceal this from us. Ananyo Bhattacharya’s The Man from the Future is therefore unable to confirm this suggestion, but much else about John von Neumann’s presence in the twentieth century is revealed along the way." -- George Dyson, author of Turing's Cathedral"Despite his central contributions to the theory of computation, economics, logic, complexity, and quantum physics, somehow John von Neumann never became a household name to rival Einstein and Feynman. Ananyo Bhattacharya’s biography deserves to change that. Consistently clear and careful without sacrificing elegance or accessibility, it does full justice to this legendary figure of twentieth-century science." -- Philip Ball, author of Beyond Weird"An engaging and fascinating book that blends science and history. I loved it." -- Paul Davies, author of The Demon in the Machine"This is a sparkling book, with an intoxicating mix of pen-portraits and grand historical narrative.

Nova Science Publishers Inc The Theory of Density: From the Effect of
Book SynopsisThe main parts of this book consist of three long articles that have previously been published by the Galilean Electrodynamics journal during three succeeding years as special summer issues. The subject is a new theory of ether that has been developed. This version of ether is compatible with special relativity theory (SRT), and thus it cannot be considered as an absolute frame of reference. One of the virtues of this book is that many of the novel predictions can be tested in high-tech laboratories; moreover, the book includes some new and extraordinary physical concepts that make the proposed claims rational and plausible. The words on the front page, from the effect of pressure on time dilation to the unified mass-charge equation, are not intended as a gossipy slogan, the likes of which sometimes appear in pseudoscientific media or science-fiction books; it is a true motto with a deep and physical basis. It is up to the reader, however, to judge whether or not the book really does what it sets out to do. The first chapter introduces a substantial number of Einstein s general relativity predictions, which are recalculated according to density theory (DT) to validate the theory for the reader. The second chapter uses interesting concepts, some of which present empirically bizarre results and are undisclosed as of yet; e.g., it is shown that static pressure can dilate time and increase mass; the light beam is affected in specific magnetic and electrical fields, and thus we can deduce that photons are not always electrically neutral; ether negative mass causes universal expansion, and; water can behave as a biological ether especially for deep sea creatures, as its hydrostatic pressure can affect biological longevity. In chapter three, the author tries to unify mass and electrical charge one of the oldest and most disputatious physical problems in the single equation of mass + rotation = charge for the very first time in the history of science. Additionally, an alternative to the dynamo theory is brought forth. After explaining each novel concept, the author uses some numerical examples with no complicated mathematical methods beyond common calculus. These concepts and examples make the book read as an argumentative dissident textbook that is suitable for bachelor students in science and engineering who want to nourish their desires to research beyond the realm of orthodoxy in frontier physics.

Book SynopsisAdvances 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. Chapter One summarizes the phase/current generalized measures of the entropy/information content in complex quantum states of molecular systems. Chapter Two reviews the current knowledge regarding Mavridis'' area (MA), with emphasis on the role of applied mathematics in its discovery, and aims to explore its mathematical expression. In Chapter Three a model of fractional difference has been defined by the author as a fractional Newton binomial with respect to the finite difference operator as parameter, therefore they obtained an alternative to fractional derivative, and further, as a by-product, they came across the so-called modified Riemann-Liouville derivative which ascribes a special role to the initial value of the considered function. Chapter Four presents some popular uses of exponential distribution in the context of ordered random variables. Chapter Five gives a comprehensive introduction to the Ricci flow on manifolds of dimension two which can be done in a reasonable fashion when the Euler characteristic is negative or zero. Chapter Six investigates some geometric properties by using the concepts of the geometric function theory and studies the convexity and star-like for the new operator.
