The advantages of optical communications are many: ultra-high speed, highly reliable information transmission, and cost-effective modulation and transmission links to name but a few. It is no surprise that optical fiber communications systems are now in extensive use all over the world. Along with software and microelectronics, optical communication represents a key technology of modern telecommunication systems. Optical Communications: Components and Systems provides the basic material required for advanced study in theory and applications of optical fiber and space communication systems. After a review of some fundamental background material, component-based chapters discuss all relevant passive and active optical and optoelectronic components used in point-to-point links and in networks. Systems chapters address the analysis and optimization of both incoherent and coherent systems, introduce fiber optic link design, and discuss physical limits. The authors also provide an overview of applications such as optical networks and optical free-space communications. The advanced interactive multimedia communications of today and the future rely on optical fiber and space communication techniques. Optical Communications: Components and Systems offers engineers and physicists a working reference for the selection and design of optical communication systems and provides engineering students with a valuable text that prepares them for work in this essential and rapidly growing field.

Since the development of the finite element method, engineering students have come to rely upon it almost exclusively. Consequently, they eventually leave school and enter the field with little or no experience in alternative methods of solving structural mechanics problems. As powerful and versatile as the finite element method is, a working knowledge of the various approximate methods not only gives structural engineers more options in their problem-solving efforts, it also imparts an understanding of the development and evolution of techniques that ultimately led to the finite element method.Focusing on the practical aspects of the techniques rather than delving deep into the mathematics, Boundary and Finite Elements Theory and Problems brings together the techniques most useful in solving structural mechanics problems, including various approximate methods, the finite element method, and the boundary element method. The author presents the material in a reader-friendly, question-and-answer format, filled with illustrations, exercises and fully worked examples.Thorough, accessible, and practical, Boundary and Finite Elements Theory and Problems is well suited as a text for engineering-oriented courses in approximate methods, the boundary element method, and the finite element method. It also serves as an outstanding reference for engineers working in structural mechanics.

The advancement of science in the twentieth century is marked by a special feature -- its transition from deterministic phenomena to probabilistic phenomena. For this reason the probability theory is introduced at the earliest possible level of any academic pursuit. Written at an introductory level, A First Course in Probability takes an intuitive approach to proving the ethereal existence of probability, developing the subject step-by-step to show the accessibility of probability theory. The authors provide hundreds of problems from almost all spheres of life to demonstrate how probability plays a decisive role. Numerous routine and simple examples are solved throughout the text to demonstrate various techniques of solving practical problems. The more difficult problems are solved at the end of each chapter under the heading, "Miscellaneous Examples," and these are useful in solving problems in different competitive examinations. Easy to understand and up-to-date, the text incorporates all the fundamental results while bringing forth the latest results. Some topics that can be avoided in the first reading are star-marked in the text.

The consequences of diseases involving the immune system now appear to have much wider impact on health care and management. Even though over the last decade, our understanding of the basic immunological mechanisms underlying various diseases has increased considerably, the application of these research findings for drug development have not been fully exploited.With a view to analyzing the current strategies for immunotherapy, Immunopharmacology: Strategies for Immunotherapy brings together contributions from experts involved with various aspects of immunology. It explores new approaches for prevention and treatment of diseases, and these approaches invariably involve the manipulation of the immune system. Individual articles cover topics that include immunological interactions and responses, effector mechanisms, and targets, and strategies for the modulation of immune response. The book provides the most recent data in the field and proposes new immunopharmacological approaches to disease prevention and treatment. With its abundance of topical information, Immunopharmacology: Strategies for Immunotherapy serves as an indispensable reference for immunologists, pharmacologists, and researchers.

Aspects of Combinatorics and Combinatorial Number Theory discusses various Ramsey-type theorems in combinatorics and combinatorial number theory. While many of the main results are classic, the book describes recent progress and considers unsolved questions in the field. For classical theorems, whenever possible, the author presents different proofs than those offered in Graham, Rothschild, and Spencer's book. For instance, Johnson's proof has been given for Erdoes-Szekeres Theorem, and in establishing that proof, the author makes reference to the other proofs. The first part of the book is primarily concerned with the history, context, and rudiments of the subject, and it requires only a basic maturity in mathematical thinking. The later parts and the remarks following each section describe many rather recent Ramsey-type results in combinatorics with application of topological ideas. These parts require some training in algebra and topology.
