The focus of this volume is research carried out as part of the
program Mathematics of Planet Earth, which provides a platform to
showcase the essential role of mathematics in addressing problems
of an economic and social nature and creating a context for
mathematicians and applied scientists to foster mathematical and
interdisciplinary developments that will be necessary to tackle a
myriad of issues and meet future global economic and social
challenges. Earth is a planet with dynamic processes in its mantle,
oceans and atmosphere creating climate, causing natural disasters
and influencing fundamental aspects of life and life-supporting
systems. In addition to these natural processes, human activity has
developed highly complex systems, including economic and financial
systems; the World Wide Web; frameworks for resource management,
transportation, energy production and utilization; health care
delivery, and social organizations. This development has increased
to the point where it impacts the stability and equilibrium in
human societies. Issues such as financial and economic crisis,
sustainability, management of resources, risk analysis, and global
integration have come to the fore. Written by some of the world's
leading specialists, this book presents the proceedings of the
International Conference and Advanced School Planet Earth,
Dynamics, Games and Science II, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 28 August
-6 September 2013, which was organized by the International Center
of Mathematics (CIM) as a partner institution of the international
program Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013. The book describes the
state of the art in advanced research and ultimate techniques in
modeling natural, economic and social phenomena. It constitutes a
tool and a framework for researchers and graduate students, both in
mathematics and applied sciences, focusing mainly on dynamical
systems, game theory and applied sciences.

causing natural disasters and influencing fundamental aspects of
life and life-supporting systems. In addition to these natural
processes, human activity has increased to the point where it
influences the global climate, impacts the ability of the planet to
feed itself and threatens the stability of these systems. Issues
such as climate change, sustainability, man-made disasters, control
of diseases and epidemics, management of resources, risk analysis
and global integration have come to the fore. Written by
specialists in several fields of mathematics and applied sciences,
this book presents the proceedings of the International Conference
and Advanced School Planet Earth, Mathematics of Energy and Climate
Change held in Lisbon, Portugal, in March 2013, which was organized
by the International Center of Mathematics (CIM) as a partner
institution of the international program Mathematics of Planet
Earth 2013. The book presents the state of the art in advanced
research and ultimate techniques in modeling natural, economical
and social phenomena. It constitutes a tool and a framework for
researchers and graduate students, both in mathematics and applied
sciences.
This volume provides the reader with a pathophysiological
perspective on the role of CNS in puberty and adolescence,
starting from genetic/molecular aspects, going through
structural/imaging changes and leading to physical/behavioral
characteristics. Therefore, renowned investigators involved in both
animal and human research shared recent data as
well as overall appraisal of
relevant questions around CNS control of puberty and
adolescence. No doubt that this volume will inspire those involved
in either scientific research or clinical practice or both in the
fascinating field of puberty and adolescence.

Endocrine disruption is an expanding field due to the numerous
chemicals involved and, as evidenced more recently, the variety of
homeostatic systems that they can alter throughout life. Also, this
field is at the edge of several disciplines with implications of
both laboratory scientists and clinicians. This symposium aims at
updating mechanisms and consequences of endocrine disruption in
three perspectives: neural, metabolic and reproductive. The
gathering of experts from all over the world should help the
participants to identify health disorders that are possibly or
likely related to exposure to endocrine disrupters. The research
needs will be discussed as well as recommendations prioritizing
target groups and following the precautionary principle.
While Eugenio Calabi is best known for his contributions to the
theory of Calabi-Yau manifolds, this Steele-Prize-winning
geometer's fundamental contributions to mathematics have been far
broader and more diverse than might be guessed from this one aspect
of his work. His works have deep influence and lasting impact in
global differential geometry, mathematical physics and beyond. By
bringing together 47 of Calabi's important articles in a single
volume, this book provides a comprehensive overview of his
mathematical oeuvre, and includes papers on complex manifolds,
algebraic geometry, Kahler metrics, affine geometry, partial
differential equations, several complex variables, group actions
and topology. The volume also includes essays on Calabi's
mathematics by several of his mathematical admirers, including S.K.
Donaldson, B. Lawson and S.-T. Yau, Marcel Berger; and Jean Pierre
Bourguignon. This book is intended for mathematicians and graduate
students around the world. Calabi's visionary contributions will
certainly continue to shape the course of this subject far into the
future.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Calculus of
Variations and its use in modelling mechanics and physics problems.
Presenting a geometric approach to the subject, it progressively
guides the reader through this very active branch of mathematics,
accompanying key statements with a huge variety of exercises, some
of them solved. Stressing the need to overcome limitations of the
initial point of view, and emphasising the interconnectivity of
various branches of mathematics (algebra, analysis and geometry),
the book includes some advanced material to challenge the most
motivated students. Systematic, short historical notes provide
details on the subject's odyssey, and how new tools have been
developed over the last two centuries. This English translation
updates a set of notes for a course first given at the Ecole
polytechnique in 1987. It will be accessible to graduate students
and advanced undergraduates.
