Sarah Jayne and her orphaned friends lead dull lives. Each of them wanting to escape their days filled with chores and taking care of the elderly residents of 621 Primrose Lane. Then one day, Sarah stumbles upon a secret hidden for years in a dark chamber. Soon Sarah and her friends discover a legacy of power, power that each of us has within ourselves. And as they learn about the immutable laws of the Universe, they also learn valuable life s...
Demonstrates the consolidation of important areas, such as algebraic statistics, computational commutative algebra, and deeper aspects of graphical models. It includes, among many others, new results and applications in cubic regression models for mixture experiments, multidimensional Fourier regression experiments, topological methods for multivariate statistics, Fourier analysis over the dihedral groups, new results related to discrete-time ...
Presents a Morse theoretic study of a very general class of homogeneous operators that includes the $p$-Laplacian as a special case. The $p$-Laplacian operator is a quasilinear differential operator that arises in many applications such as non-Newtonian fluid flows. Working with a new sequence of eigenvalues that uses the cohomological index, the authors systematically develop alternative tools such as nonlinear linking and local splitting the...
Collects cutting-edge research on algorithmic probability and combinatorics. It includes contributions by established experts and younger researchers who use generating functions, algebraic and probabilistic methods as well as asymptotic analysis on a daily basis. Walks in the quarter-plane and random walks, permutation tableaux, and random permutations are considered.
The thriving Cheshire town of Cranford is on the brink of momentous change, with the imminent arrival of the railways and the threat it brings to the established way of life. This book explains how Elizabeth Gaskell's stories were interwoven to create their dramatisation.
Presents a reassessment of Europe in the Cold War period, 1945-91. This book shows that relations between East and West were based not only on confrontation and mutual distrust, but also on collaboration. It reveals that there is in fact considerable interaction and exchange between states, enterprises, associations, organisations and individuals.
Offers an overview of clinical supervision, presenting and examining the empirical evidence upon which to base practice. Divided into five parts, this title discusses: education and training, implementation and development, experiences and practice, research activity, and, international perspectives.
The growing child comes to understand the world, makes sense of experience and becomes a competent social individual. This book reflects the way in which the developmental psychologists started to look at these processes in naturalistic and social situations. It states that 'making sense' involves social interaction and problem-solving.
When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, it came as no surprise to the children of Germany: the Nazis had been preparing them for a war ever since they had come to power in 1933. To British children it was an altogether different matter. Children all over Britain were deeply affected by the war: many were separated from their parents by evacuation or bereavement, all had to "make do and mend" with clothes and toys, and some even ...
Systematically treats elliptic boundary value problems in domains of polyhedral type. The authors describe their own results focusing on the Dirichlet problem for linear strongly elliptic systems of arbitrary order, Neumann and mixed boundary value problems for second order systems, and on boundary value problems for the stationary Stokes and Navier-Stokes systems. The exposition is self-contained, and an introductory chapter provides backgrou...
