First derived within the context of life-testing, inverse Gaussian
distribution has become one of the most important and widely
employed distributions, and is often used to model the lifetimes of
components. It is also used as a model in many varied applications,
including fatigue analysis, economic prediction analysis, and the
analysis of extreme events such as rainfall and flood levels. The
interesting features and properties of this distribution make it an
important and realistic model in a variety of problems across
numerous disciplines. Because of the broad range of applications,
this handbook will be useful not only to members of the statistical
community but will also appeal to applied scientists, engineers,
econometricians, and anyone who desires a thorough evaluation of
this important topic.

This is the first work on Discrepancy Theory to show the present
variety of points of view and applications covering the areas
Classical and Geometric Discrepancy Theory, Combinatorial
Discrepancy Theory and Applications and Constructions. It consists
of several chapters, written by experts in their respective fields
and focusing on the different aspects of the theory.
Discrepancy theory concerns the problem of replacing a
continuous object with a discrete sampling and is currently located
at the crossroads of number theory, combinatorics, Fourier
analysis, algorithms and complexity, probability theory and
numerical analysis. This book presents an invitation to researchers
and students to explore the different methods and is meant to
motivate interdisciplinary research.

The subject of this monograph is to describe orbits of slowly
chaotic motion. The study of geodesic flow in the unit torus is
motivated by the irrational rotation sequence, where the most
outstanding result is the Kronecker-Weyl equidistribution theorem
and its time-quantitative enhancements, including superuniformity.
Another important result is the Khinchin density theorem on
superdensity, a best possible form of time-quantitative density.
The purpose of this monograph is to extend these classical
time-quantitative results to some non-integrable flat dynamical
systems.The theory of dynamical systems is on the most part about
the qualitative behavior of typical orbits and not about individual
orbits. Thus, our study deviates from, and indeed is in complete
contrast to, what is considered the mainstream research in
dynamical systems. We establish non-trivial results concerning
explicit individual orbits and describe their long-term behavior in
a precise time-quantitative way. Our non-ergodic approach gives
rise to a few new methods. These are based on a combination of
ideas in combinatorics, number theory, geometry and linear
algebra.Approximately half of this monograph is devoted to a
time-quantitative study of two concrete simple non-integrable flat
dynamical systems. The first concerns billiard in the L-shape
region which is equivalent to geodesic flow on the L-surface. The
second concerns geodesic flow on the surface of the unit cube. In
each, we give a complete description of time-quantitative
equidistribution for every geodesic with a quadratic irrational
slope.
This book aims to present, educate and inform individuals about
Alzheimer's disease in a comprehensive manner. Its scope ranges
from the discovery of the disease, epidemiology and basic
biological principles underlying it, to advanced stem cell
therapies used in the treatment of Alzheimer's. It adopts a
'global' perspective on Alzheimer's disease, and include
epidemiological data and science from countries around the
world.Alzheimer's disease is a rapidly growing problem seen in
every country around the world. This is the first and only
comprehensive book to cover Alzheimer's disease, and includes the
most updated literature and scientific progress in the field of
dementia and Alzheimer's disease research.Most books on the market
that focus on Alzheimer's disease are targeted at caregivers as
practical advice on how to deal with loved ones with the disease.
This book instead is a comprehensive and popular science book that
can be read by anyone with an interest in learning more about the
disease.Dr Jefferson Chen MD, PhD, co-author, participated in the
world's first surgical clinical trial using shunts to treat
Alzheimer's disease. His first-hand involvement in a clinical trial
for patients with Alzheimer's disease and experience treating
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) which is commonly misdiagnosed
as Alzheimer's disease lends a unique perspective.This book with
appeal to a wide audience, regardless of their scientific or
educational background.
