Psychodermatology is a relatively new field in evolution and thus,
there is a comparative paucity of information in general. However,
when it comes to children and adolescents there is a complete
vacuum of information as no other book has aimed to specifically
address the psychodermatological issues facing this particular
population. For assessment, diagnosis, comprehensive treatment of
children with psychodermatologic conditions and establishing a
relationship between skin and psyche, there is a lack of clear and
relevant clinical information about these complex disorders. The
complexity of these disorders is related to lack of understanding
in genetic, embryonic, physiologic, neuroimmunologic,
neurocutaneous, stress-related neuromodulation, and psychosomatic
interconnections. This book presents a clinically relevant approach
to the management of psychodermatologic issues encountered in
normal practice. Various classifications and major categories that
are discussed include psychophysiologic disorders, psychiatric
conditions with dermatologic manifestations, dermatologic disorders
predisposing to psychiatric disorders, systemic diseases with
psychodermatological manifestations, and special issues in
management of psychocutaneous disorders in children and
adolescents.
This volume celebrates the tenth edition of the Brazilian School of
Probability (EBP), held at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, from July 30 to
August 4, 2006, jointly with the 69th Annual Meeting of the
Institute of Mathematical Statistics. It was indeed an exceptional
occasion for the local community working in this ?eld. The EBP,
?rst envisioned and organized in 1997, has since developed into an
annual meeting with two or three advanced mini-courses and a high
level conference. This volume grew up from invited or contributed
articles by researchers that during the last ten yearshave been
participating in the BrazilianSchool of Pro- bility. As a
consequence, its content partially re?ects the topics that have
pred- inated in the activities during the various editions of the
School, with a strong - peal that comes from statistical mechanics
and areasof concentrationthat include interacting particlesystems,
percolation, random media anddisordered systems. All articles of
this volume were peer-refereed.
This volume features selected and peer-reviewed articles from
the Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI). The chapters
are written by international specialists who participated in the
conference. Topics include developments based on breakthroughs in
the mathematical understanding of phenomena describing systems in
highly inhomogeneous and disordered media, including the KPZ
universality class (describing the evolution of interfaces in two
dimensions), random walks in random environment and percolative
systems. PASI fosters a collaboration between North American and
Latin American researchers and students. The conference that
inspired this volume took place in January 2012 in both Santiago de
Chile and Buenos Aires. Researchers and graduate students will find
timely research in probability theory, statistical physics and
related disciplines.
This is a volume in memory of Vladas Sidoravicius who passed away
in 2019. Vladas has edited two volumes appeared in this series ("In
and Out of Equilibrium") and is now honored by friends and
colleagues with research papers reflecting Vladas' interests and
contributions to probability theory.
The stochastic calculus of variations of Paul Malliavin (1925 -
2010), known today as the Malliavin Calculus, has found many
applications, within and beyond the core mathematical discipline.
Stochastic analysis provides a fruitful interpretation of this
calculus, particularly as described by David Nualart and the scores
of mathematicians he influences and with whom he collaborates. Many
of these, including leading stochastic analysts and junior
researchers, presented their cutting-edge research at an
international conference in honor of David Nualart's career, on
March 19-21, 2011, at the University of Kansas, USA. These scholars
and other top-level mathematicians have kindly contributed research
articles for this refereed volume.
This volume arises from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW)
on 'North African Cretaceous rudist and coral formations and their
contributions to carbonate platform development , which was held in
Tunisia, on 13-18 May, 2002. It was convened by M. El Hedi Negra
(Universite 7 Novembre de Carthage, now Universite de Tunis El
Manar, Tunisia) and Eulalia Gili (Universitat Autonoma de
Barcelona, Spain). The aims of the ARW were: (1) to review and
critically assess currently available data on rudist/coral
formations in North African Cretaceous carbonate platforms, and
their correlations, and to integrate these data with other studies
around the Mediterranean; (2) to place the findings in a global
context, noting both similarities with other regions of platform
development as well as local differences, and (3) exploring
possible reasons for these; and to help promote the creation of a
vibrant peri-Mediterranean collaborative research community,
embracing researchers from the entire region, to carry forward this
ambitious research programme. Twenty-two presentations (oral and
poster) provided both topical reviews (covering rudist evolution,
and ecology, mineralogical changes, applications of strontium
isotope, and graphic correlation methods, and platform typology) as
well as regional syntheses (Tunisian reservoirs, Moroccan platform
history, Tunisian platforms and rudist/coral facies, Algerian
platforms, and Egyptian platforms). Fifteen of these presentations
are expanded here as papers. The workshop was attended by 24
academic staff, 4 geologists from the oil industry, plus several
observers and students.
This volume is a collection of original contributions to the study
of lexical allomorphy, with a focus on Optimality Theory's
distinctive take on this topic. The chapters provide an up-to-date
perspective on the advances in our understanding of allomorphy
which Optimality Theory has been able to secure (in comparison with
rule-based Generative Phonology). They also consider a number of
important allomorphy questions which Optimality Theory has helped
raise and address (e.g. the nature of inputs, the role of
paradigms, the interaction of phonology with other modules of
grammar, lexical storage vs computation, degrees of phonological
(ir)regularity, subcategorization vs markedness). The contributors
form an international array of linguists from North America and
Europe. A broad variety of languages serve as the empirical base
for the volume, either in detailed case studies (e.g. Burushaski,
Catalan, English, French, Italian, Moroccan Arabic, Sahaptin) or in
encompassing typological surveys. The volume is aimed at
professional linguists with an interest in phonology, morphology,
and the lexicon.With its broad coverage of allomorphy issues, the
book's content will also lend itself to courses in phonology and
morphology for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
This book focuses on the current situation of two technologies for
electricity production from renewable energy sources, wind and
solar photovoltaic energy, analysing and describing both
technologies in detail. Four regions of the world, with distinct
energy markets and conditions, are explored. Together, the USA,
Europe, China and Japan represent one third of the world's
population and occupy 25% of the planet, therefore offering a
representation of a global picture. In each of these regions, the
development of the solar and wind energy is examined, and the
economic implications are described.
This textbook offers a compact introductory course on Malliavin
calculus, an active and powerful area of research. It covers recent
applications, including density formulas, regularity of probability
laws, central and non-central limit theorems for Gaussian
functionals, convergence of densities and non-central limit
theorems for the local time of Brownian motion. The book also
includes a self-contained presentation of Brownian motion and
stochastic calculus, as well as Levy processes and stochastic
calculus for jump processes. Accessible to non-experts, the book
can be used by graduate students and researchers to develop their
mastery of the core techniques necessary for further study.

This book presents the state-of-the-art in theory and practice
regarding similarity and distance measures for intuitionistic fuzzy
sets. Quantifying similarity and distances is crucial for many
applications, e.g. data mining, machine learning, decision making,
and control. The work provides readers with a comprehensive set of
theoretical concepts and practical tools for both defining and
determining similarity between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It
describes an automatic algorithm for deriving intuitionistic fuzzy
sets from data, which can aid in the analysis of information in
large databases. The book also discusses other important
applications, e.g. the use of similarity measures to evaluate the
extent of agreement between experts in the context of decision
making.
Over the past decade, there have been many international calls to
strengthen and support/sustain research capacity in lower- and
middle-income countries (LMICs). This capacity is considered an
essential foundation for cost-effective healthcare systems. While
there have been long-standing investments by many countries and
research funding organisations in the training of individuals for
this purpose, in many LMICs research capacity remains fragmented,
uneven and fragile. There is growing recognition that a more
systems-oriented approach to research capacity-building is
required. Nonetheless, there are considerable gaps in the evidence
for approaches to capacity-building that are effective and
sustainable. This book addresses these gaps, capturing what was
learned from teams working on The Global Health Research
Initiative. This book brings together the experiences of research
capacity-building teams co-led by Canadians and LMIC researchers in
several regions of the world, including Jamaica, Kenya, Sierra
Leone, South Africa and Uganda.
This book is composed of selected papers presented at
IWIFSGN'2019-The Eighteenth International Workshop on
Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Nets-held on October
24-25, 2019, in Warsaw, Poland, which is one of the main
conferences on fuzzy logic, notably on extensions of the
traditional fuzzy sets, in particular on the intuitionistic fuzzy
sets. A considerable part of the conference sessions is also
concerned with recent developments and challenges in the theory and
applications of other topics exemplified by uncertainty,
incompleteness and imprecision modeling, the Generalized Nets
(GNs), a powerful extension of the traditional Petri net paradigm,
and the InterCriteria Analysis, a new method for the feature
selection and analyses in multicriteria and multiattribute
decision-making problems. Some more general problems of
computational and artificial intelligence, exemplified by
evolutionary computations, machine learning, etc., are also dealt
with. The papers included yield a good perspective on all of these
important issues and problems.

This book presents selected papers from two important conferences
held on October 12-14, 2016 in Warsaw, Poland: the Fourteenth
National Conference of Operational and Systems Research, BOS-2016,
one of the premiere conferences in the field of operational and
systems research not only in Poland but also at the European level;
and the Fifteenth International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy
Sets and General Nets, IWIFSGN-2016, one of the foremost
conferences on fuzzy logic, notably addressing extensions of the
traditional fuzzy sets, as well as the Generalized Nets (GNs), a
powerful extension of the traditional Petri net paradigm. The scope
of the BOS con ferences includes all types of problems related to
systems modeling, systems analysis, broadly perceived operational
research, optimization, decision making, and decision support, to
name but a few. In all these areas, virtually all models used have
to take into account not only uncertainty in its traditional sense,
but also imprecision of information. That is, in addition to
traditional probabilistic and statistical tools and techniques, the
use of methods based on fuzzy sets can also be sensible. Even more
so, employing certain extensions of the classic concept of a fuzzy
set can be very useful. Applying intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which
are at the core of the IWIFSGN conferences, is a good example. Both
conferences, BOS-2016 and IWIFSGN-2016, offered ideal venues for
the exchange of ideas, cross-fertilization, and mutual inspiration.
