Handbook of Combinatorics, Volume 1 focuses on basic methods,
paradigms, results, issues, and trends across the broad spectrum of
combinatorics. The selection first elaborates on the basic graph
theory, connectivity and network flows, and matchings and
extensions. Discussions focus on stable sets and claw free graphs,
nonbipartite matching, multicommodity flows and disjoint paths,
minimum cost circulations and flows, special proof techniques for
paths and circuits, and Hamilton paths and circuits in digraphs.
The manuscript then examines coloring, stable sets, and perfect
graphs and embeddings and minors. The book takes a look at random
graphs, hypergraphs, partially ordered sets, and matroids. Topics
include geometric lattices, structural properties, linear
extensions and correlation, dimension and posets of bounded degree,
hypergraphs and set systems, stability, transversals, and
matchings, and phase transition. The manuscript also reviews the
combinatorial number theory, point lattices, convex polytopes and
related complexes, and extremal problems in combinatorial geometry.
The selection is a valuable reference for researchers interested in
combinatorics.

connections between coding theory and other branches of mathematics
and computer science. Part 3, "Applications", deals with a variety
of applications for coding.
This first part presents chapters on models of computation,
complexity theory, data structures, and efficient computation in
many recognized sub-disciplines of Theoretical Computer Science.
This two-volume book presents an up-to-date account of armored
scale insects (Homoptera: Diaspididas), a family of highly
specialized insects, many of which are important agricultural
pests. Being sedentary, colonial and rather cryptic, many species
have invaded new countries with important host plants. This has
made them prime targets for biological control by natural enemies.
No other book has attempted to present such a rounded picture of
this important group. It covers all aspects: morphology,
systematics, phylogeny, biology, ecology, natural enemies
(pathogens, predators, parasites), pest status, control measures
(quarantine, eradication, monitoring, chemical control, biological
control, mechanical control, integrated control), as well as pest
problems and control on specific crops, from a worldwide
perspective.
The armored scale insects: their morphology, systematics and
phylogeny; reproductive biology and genetics; development biology
and physiology; ecology; and techiques for their study is handled
in Volume A.
The natural enemies of armored scale insects, and with their damage
and control: pathogens; predators; parasites; hyperparasites;
ecology and efficacy of natural enemies; techniques; economic
importance; quarantine; eradication; forecasting and monitoring
infestations; chemical control; biological control; mechanical
control; integrated pest management; pest problems and control in
specific crops is dealt with in Volume B.
The book is intended for a broad audience: professional
entomologists, extension specialists, pest control operators and
advanced horticulturists and agriculturists, as well as biologists,
naturalists and environmentalists (the lattershould find the strong
emphasis on natural enemies and biological control of interest).
In spite of the extensive attention given by research workers to
aphids no comprehensive review has been published covering all
aspects of aphid biology. A few small books exist on certain
aspects of nomenclature, ecology, physiology and natural enemies.
Aphid biology is studied by many specialists, all representing
their own area of interest, therefore the only way to present this
comprehensive review is by the multi-author approach. This
three-volume work is compiled in a similar way to the first books
in the series World Crop Pests: Spider Mites. The volumes contain
contributions by more than 40 authors. In this first volume an
account is given on morphology and systematics, anatomy, genetics,
life cycles, ways of life, reproduction and polymorphism and
interaction with the environment. These topics are followed by an
in-depth study of evolution of aphids, especially in connection
with the evolution of plants. In addition processes governing the
development of population structure and speciation are elicited.
This two-part volume with contributions from more than 50
international specialists, provides an up-to-date text and brings
together facts and views of acarologists specialized in various
aspects of the biology of spider mites. The need for such a
treatment of scientific progress and recommended topics for future
research exists among students, commencing in the study of
acarology and plant protection, as well as among those engaged in
acarological research and teaching. Both books will serve to
provide a synthesis of much of the knowledge on basic and applied
aspects of the biology of spider mites and their natural enemies;
stimulate students to analyse critically the views propounded by
the authors of the book, and instigate research into
environmentally safe and cost effective means of pest control.
The Icelandic Sagas are prose histories, describing life and events
that took place in Iceland, during the 10th and 11th centuries.
They are stories of families, adventures, feuding, deal-making,
wars, great journeys, history, and myth. They are stories of the
Norse and Celtic settlers and their descendants in Iceland during
what is sometimes called the Saga Age. For Asatruars and Heathens,
there is indispensible knowledge to be gained here. These tales
give us a window into the world of our heathen ancestors. What did
they value? How did they resolve conflicts? How did they uphold
their responsibilities to their famlies and their friends? How did
they approach life and their places within the community? How did
they view and honor their Gods and Ancestors? Contained in this
volume are nearly 800 pages of Icelandic Sagas. Read, learn, and
enjoy these tales of our Ancestors. This is part of a planned 3
volume set. All profits go into a fund to build a Hof and Hall here
in the Heartland.
"The Life of Clement Studebaker" is a typewritten manuscript held
in the collection of the St. Joseph County Library in South Bend,
Indiana. Written after his death in 1901, it was never published.
Although Clement died just at the dawn of the automobile age, he,
together with his brother John Mohler Studebaker, established the
character of the business and hand-picked the successors who
introduced the company's first cars. Clement, therefore, is an
important precursor to the history of the automobile industry. "The
Life of Clement Studebaker" covers his business life, his political
life, his family life, his church life, and his connections with
other businesses and other people in South Bend. It illuminates the
man and gives insight. This fascinating 188-page biography belongs
on the shelf of everyone interested in the history of the
Studebaker Corporation, the city of South Bend, the automobile
industry, or life in the late 19th century.
Hardbound. This reference work covers the many aspects of Robust
Inference. Much of what is contained in the chapters, written by
leading experts in the field, has not been part of previous surveys
of this area. Robust Inference has been an active area of research
for the last two decades. Especially during recent years it has
been extended in different directions covering a wide variety of
models. This volume will be valuable for both graduate students and
researchers using statistical methods.
Handbook of Convex Geometry, Volume B offers a survey of convex
geometry and its many ramifications and connections with other
fields of mathematics, including convexity, lattices,
crystallography, and convex functions. The selection first offers
information on the geometry of numbers, lattice points, and packing
and covering with convex sets. Discussions focus on packing in
non-Euclidean spaces, problems in the Euclidean plane, general
convex bodies, computational complexity of lattice point problem,
centrally symmetric convex bodies, reduction theory, and lattices
and the space of lattices. The text then examines finite packing
and covering and tilings, including plane tilings, monohedral
tilings, bin packing, and sausage problems. The manuscript takes a
look at valuations and dissections, geometric crystallography,
convexity and differential geometry, and convex functions. Topics
include differentiability, inequalities, uniqueness theorems for
convex hypersurfaces, mixed discriminants and mixed volumes,
differential geometric characterization of convexity, reduction of
quadratic forms, and finite groups of symmetry operations. The
selection is a dependable source of data for mathematicians and
researchers interested in convex geometry.
