Modeling, Control and Optimization of Water Systems
This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. It presents system engineering methods for modelling surface water and groundwater resources as well as water transportation systems (rivers, channels and pipelines). The models in turn provide information on both the water quant…

Molecular Parasitology
In the past years, genome projects for numerous human parasites have been completed and now allow first in depth comparisons and evolutionary conclusions. The genomes of parasites reflect the coevolution with their host, metabolic capacities depending on their respective habitat in the host. Gut parasites usually have an anaerobic metabolism, while blood parasites have an aerobic metabolism, in…

Statistical Causal Inferences and Their Applications in Public Health Research
This book originated from a series of discussions among the editors when we were all at the University of Rochester, NY, before 2015. At that time, we had a research discussion group under the leadership of Professor Xin M. Tu that met biweekly to discuss the methodological development on statistical causal inferences and their applications to public health data. In this group, we got a clo…

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Disordered Materials
This book is a unique reference work in the area of atomic-scale simulation of glasses. For the first time, a highly selected panel of about 20 researchers provides, in a single book, their views, methodologies and applications on the use of molecular dynamics as a tool to describe glassy materials. The book covers a wide range of systems covering "traditional" network glasses, such as chalcoge…

State, Market and Life Chances in Contemporary Rural Chinese Society
What are the effects of market reform on social stratifi cation in rural China? This topic has been a focus of sociology, especially comparative stratifi cation research, for more than two decades, because market reform in rural China provides a rare natural experiment involving changes in the stratifi cation order on a scale reminiscent of what was experienced in the West during the rise o…

Micro-Relay Technology for Energy-Efficient Integrated Circuits
This volume describes the design of relay-based circuit systems from device fabrication to circuit micro-architectures. This book is ideal for both device engineers as well as circuit system designers, and highlights the importance of co-design across design hierarchies when trying to optimize system performance (in this case, energy-efficiency). The book will also appeal to researchers and eng…

The Role of Religion in Eastern Europe Today
While religion was expelled from the public space during Communist times and became a secret form of “inner emigration”, it entered the empty public space again in Post-Communist times. Public interest in religious issues and the public prestige of religion have dramatically increased. The book “Under Construction. The Role of Religion in Eastern Europe Today” deals with the (re-)emerge…
