This book gives a concise introduction to the basic techniques needed for the theoretical analysis of the Maxwell Equations, and filters in an elegant way the essential parts, e.g., concerning the various function spaces needed to rigorously investigate the boundary integral equations and variational equations. The book arose from lectures taught by the authors over many years and can be helpf…
This book presents innovative work in Climate Informatics, a new field that reflects the application of data mining methods to climate science, and shows where this new and fast growing field is headed. Given its interdisciplinary nature, Climate Informatics offers insights, tools and methods that are increasingly needed in order to understand the climate system, an aspect which in turn has bec…
This Festschrift volume is published in honor of Professor Paul G. Spirakis on the occasion of his 60th birthday. It celebrates his significant contributions to computer science as an eminent, talented, and influential researcher and most visionary thought leader, with a great talent in inspiring and guiding young researchers. The book is a reflection of his main research activities in the f…
As children, we would have spilt glasses of milk, dropped things, and broken things. As children, therefore, we would have developed intuitions about how the world?works?, but we would not necessarily have been able to explain these?workings?. It would only have been till we entered formal schooling that we would have learned codifications of canon within each respective discipline, and consequ…
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web Graph, WAW 2015, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in December 2015. The 15 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: properties of large graph models, dynamic processes on large grap…
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity, CIAC 2015, held in Paris, France, in May 2015. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions and are presented together with 2 invited papers. The papers present original research in the theory and applications of algorith…
Neutron and Synchrotron radiation methods have matured to become powerful techniques for the study of a vast range of materials, including metals. The characterization methods comprise the categories of diffraction, spectroscopy and imaging, which themselves can alter greatly in detail, to include hundreds of variants, problems and sample environments. In a similar way, their applications to me…
Selective and quantitative detection of different kinds of biocomponents plays an important role in biomedical applications, clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, toxicology, regenerative medicine and drug delivery. Therefore, multidisciplinary area of magnetic biosensing have been extensively developed in recent years, aiming to create compact analytical devices for non-expensive and…
