An Ecosystem Approach to the Management of Sediment and Sediment Liabilities
De Gruyter 2013; US$ 168.00The ecological health and economic value of rivers and estuaries depend upon a physical "infrastructure" that includes clean sediment, clean water and stable hydrology. Problems involving sediment quantity or sediment quality are typically highly complex and require consideration of the physical, biological and social systems to solve.If approached... more...
Computational Solid Mechanics
De Gruyter 2013; US$ 182.00During the past decades, the FEM software and other numerical methods have been developed rapidly with increasing applications in civil engineering and various industrial fields, successfully. However, there still remain many problems. The contributions to this book will systematically present up-to-date progress and solutions on key problems. more...
Keller-Box Method and Its Application
De Gruyter 2013; US$ 167.00Most of the problems arising in science and engineering are nonlinear. They are inherently difficult to solve. Traditional analytical approximations are valid only for weakly nonlinear problems, and often break down for problems with strong nonlinearity. This book presents the current theoretical developments and applications of Keller-Box method to... more...
Multilevel Models
De Gruyter 2011; US$ 126.00This book covers a broad range of topics about multilevel modeling. The goal is to help readersto understand the basic concepts, theoretical frameworks, and application methods of multilevel modeling. Itis at a level also accessible to non-mathematicians, focusing on the methods and applications of various multilevel models and using the widely used... more...

A global authorship from top institutions presents case studies to model, measure, andmonitor earthquakes.Among others afull-3D waveform tomography method is introduced, as well as propagator methods for modeling and imaging. In particular the earthquake prediction method... more...
The River of Life: Sustainability in a Native American Context
De Gruyter 2013; US$ 140.00Sustainability defines the need for any society to live within the constraints of the land's capacity to deliver all natural resources the society consumes. This book compares the general differences between Native Americans and western world view towards resources. It will provide the ?nuts and bolts? of a sustainability portfolio designed by indigenous... more...
