| Drying of Porous Materials
by Stefan Jan Kowalski (Editor)
This book provides recent advances in research on drying of particulate and porous materials. It is based on a selection of papers presented at the XI the Polish Drying Symposium 2005. The selected contributions cover theoretical, as well as experimental and modeling research on heat and mass transfer processes during drying of porous material, and fluidized beds. The comprehensiveness and in depth treatment of the subject makes this book an excellent pioneering contribution to the...

| Developments and Applications in Solubility
by Trevor M. Letcher (Editor)
This new book discusses important topics on one of the most basic of thermodynamic properties, namely Solubility - a property which underlies most industrial processes. The objective of the book is to bring together new, exciting and disparate topics, all related to Solubility, in a single volume, so that readers can extend their horizons and relate hitherto unrelated topics, leading to innovative and creative ideas.

Product Description
This book is an introduction to the principles and practice of mathematical modeling in the biological sciences, concentrating on applications in population biology, epidemiology, and resource management. The core of the book covers models in these areas and the mathematics useful in analyzing them, including case studies representing real-life situations. The emphasis throughout is on describing the mathematical results and showing students how to apply them to biological problems while highlighting some modeling strategies. A large number and variety of examples, exercises, and projects are included. Additional ideas and information may be found on a web site associated with the book. Senior undergraduates and graduate students as well as scientists in the biological and mathematical sciences will find this book useful. Carlos Castillo-Chavez is professor of biomathematics in the departments of biometrics, statistics, and theoretical and applied mechanics at Cornell University and a member of the graduate fields of applied mathematics, ecology and evolutionary biology, and epidemiology. H is the recepient of numerous awards including two White House Awards (1992 and 1997) and QEM Giant in Space Mentoring Award (2000). Fred Brauer is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University id Wisconsin, where he taught from 1960 to 1999, and has also been an Honorary Professor of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia since 1997. |

Based on lecture notes of two summer schools with a mixed audience from mathematical sciences, epidemiology and public health, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to basic ideas and techniques in modeling infectious diseases, for the comparison of strategies to plan for an anticipated epidemic or pandemic, and to deal with a disease outbreak in real time. It covers detailed case studies for diseases including pandemic influenza, West Nile virus, and childhood diseases. Models for...

| Epidemic Modelling: An Introduction (Cambridge Studies in Mathematical Biology)
by D. J. Daley (Author), J. Gani (Author)
This general introduction to the mathematical techniques needed to understand epidemiology begins with an historical outline of some disease statistics dating from Daniel Bernoulli's smallpox data of 1760. The authors then go on to describe simple deterministic and stochastic models in continuous and discrete time for epidemics taking place in either homogeneous or stratified (nonhomogeneous) populations. They offer a range of methods for constructing and analyzing models, mostly in the...

| Mathematical Models in Biology (Classics in Applied Mathematics)
by Leah Edelstein-Keshet (Author)
Mathematical Models in Biology is an introductory book for readers interested in biological applications of mathematics and modeling in biology. A favorite in the mathematical biology community since its first publication in 1988, the book shows how relatively simple mathematics can be applied to a variety of models to draw interesting conclusions. Connections are made between diverse biological examples linked by common mathematical themes. A variety of discrete and continuous ordinary and...
