This volume provides recent developments and a state-of-the-art review in various areas of mathematical modeling, computation and optimization. It contains theory, computation as well as the applications of several mathematical models to problems in statistics, games, optimization and economics for decision making. It focuses on exciting areas like models for wireless networks, models of Nash networks, dynamic models of advertising, application of reliability models in economics, support vector machines, optimization, complementarity modeling and games.

In a logical sequence, the book deals extensively with different aspects such as atomic structure (both classical and wave mechanical) and atomic spectra, fundamentals of quantum mechanics and wave mechanics, nuclear chemistry and radiation chemistry, different theories of valence forces and chemical forces including band and bloch theory of solids, solid state chemistry, acids and bases, nonaqueous solvents, and redox potentials. It also covers the different aspects of materials science which is emerging with a great promise.

Innovative Exploration Methods for Mineral, Oil, Gas, and Groundwater for Sustainable Development provides an integrated approach to exploration encompassing geology, geophysics, mining, and mineral processing. In addition, groundwater exploration is included, as it is central to the development of earth resources. As the demand for coal, minerals, oil and gas, and water continues to grow globally, researchers must prioritize sustainable exploration methods. Old technologies are being replaced speedily and exploration work has become fast, focused, meaningful, and readily reproducible keeping in pace with the changing global scenario. The themes of exploration of energy resources, exploration of minerals, groundwater exploration and processing and mineral engineering are separated out into sections and chapters included in these sections include case studies focusing on tools and techniques for exploration. Innovative Exploration Methods for Mineral, Oil, Gas, and Groundwater for Sustainable Development gives insight to modern concepts of exploration for those working in the various fields of energy, mineral, and groundwater exploration.

The second edition of this well-received book is fully updated to equip students with international accounting standards, regulations and financial reporting. Written in sync with the changing accounting practices the world over, this text provides comprehensive coverage of the core concepts of international accounting and their applications, with detailed discussion on international financial management which has gained importance over recent years due to globalisation and liberalisation. he text also traces the genesis of international accounting, and discusses at length topics such as foreign currency translation, consolidation of foreign financial statements, transfer pricing, international taxation and financial reporting practices in leading countries such as USA, UK, Canada and Germany. Intended primarily as a text for the postgraduate students of financial studies such as MFC, Commerce, and International Business (MIB), postgraduate students of management specialising in finance, this accessible text can also be used for professional courses like CA and ICWA. New to this Edition: Explains International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its implementation. Includes four new chapters (Chapters 11-14) on international financial management, foreign exchange forecast, measurement and management of foreign exchange exposure to enlarge the scope of the book. Provides key terms at the end of each chapter for better comprehension. Key Features: Comparative analyses in line with the IAS, AS and the US Accounting Standards/GAAP Tabular representation of ideas/concepts for clear understanding Large number of worked-out examples provided in a graded manner to illustrate the concepts Review questions at ends of chapters Exhaustive glossary at the end of the book
