Simulation modeling and analysis with Arena
Simulation Modeling and Analysis with Arena is a highly readable textbook which treats the essentials of the Monte Carlo discrete-event simulation methodology, and does so in the context of a popular Arena simulation environment.\" It treats simulation modeling as an in-vitro laboratory that facilitates the understanding of complex systems and experimentation with what-if scenarios in order to estimate their performance metrics. The book contains chapters on the simulation modeling methodology and the underpinnings of discrete-event systems, as well as the relevant underlying probability, statistics, stochastic processes, input analysis, model validation and output analysis. All simulation-related concepts are illustrated in numerous Arena examples, encompassing production lines, manufacturing and inventory systems, transportation systems, and computer information systems in networked settings. · Introduces the concept of discrete event Monte Carlo simulation, the most commonly used methodology for modeling and analysis of complex systems· Covers essential workings of the popular animated simulation language, ARENA, including set-up, design parameters, input data, and output analysis, along with a wide variety of sample model applications from production lines to transportation systems· Reviews elements of statistics, probability, and stochastic processes relevant to simulation modeling* Ample end-of-chapter problems and full Solutions Manual* Includes CD with sample ARENA modeling programs

The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
Marguerite Long, the most important French female pianist of the
20th century, left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in
Paris. The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
presents English translations of the two major contributions of
Marguerite Long to the literature of piano pedagogy. These
translations of her pedagogical works, Le Piano and La
Petite Méthode de piano , provide a window to the old French
school of pianism as modernized by Long. Le Piano is a
remarkable text offering piano playing techniques and pragmatic and
philosophical musings and observations about life, musicians,
careers, and more. La Petite Méthode de piano is a
personal manifesto about how to introduce children to music. Both
works are treasures revealing Long's lifelong commitment to
teaching and they are still stunningly relevant. In addition, John
Ellis analyzes each work and puts it in historical context. He
places special emphasis on Long's illustrious international career,
her teaching, her rivalry with Alfred Cortot, and the impact of
sexism on her life and work. Ellis addresses the eclipse of Long's
reputation by that of Cortot and fills a gap in the knowledge of
Long's place in the history of pedagogical heritage.

The finite element method in engineering
The Finite Element Method in Engineering is the only book to provide a broad overview of the underlying principles of finite element analysis and where it fits into the larger context of other mathematically based engineering analytical tools. This is an updated and improved version of a finite element text long noted for its practical applications approach, its readability, and ease of use. Students will find in this textbook a thorough grounding of the mathematical principles underlying the popular, analytical methods for setting up a finite element solution based on mathematical equations. The book provides a host of real-world applications of finite element analysis, from structural design to problems in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. It has added new sections on the assemblage of element equations, as well as an important new comparison between finite element analysis and other analytical methods showing advantages and disadvantages of each. This book will appeal to students in mechanical, structural, electrical, environmental and biomedical engineering.

Event History Modeling
Event History Modeling, first published in 2004, provides an accessible guide to event history analysis for researchers and advanced students in the social sciences. The substantive focus of many social science research problems leads directly to the consideration of duration models, and many problems would be better analyzed by using these longitudinal methods to take into account not only whether the event happened, but when. The foundational principles of event history analysis are discussed and ample examples are estimated and interpreted using standard statistical packages, such as STATA and S-Plus. Critical innovations in diagnostics are discussed, including testing the proportional hazards assumption, identifying outliers, and assessing model fit. The treatment of complicated events includes coverage of unobserved heterogeneity, repeated events, and competing risks models. The authors point out common problems in the analysis of time-to-event data in the social sciences and make recommendations regarding the implementation of duration modeling methods.

GLOBAL CARLEMAN ESTIMATES FOR DEGENERATE PARABOLIC OPERATORS WITH APPLICATIONS
Degenerate parabolic operators have received increasing attention in recent years because they are associated with both important
theoretical analysis, such as stochastic diffusion processes, and interesting applications to engineering, physics, biology, and
economics.
This manuscript has been conceived to introduce the reader to global Carleman estimates for a class of parabolic
operators which may degenerate at the boundary of the space domain, in the normal direction to the boundary. Such a kind of degeneracy
is relevant to study the invariance of a domain with respect to a given stochastic diffusion flow, and appears naturally in climatology
models.
Global Carleman estimates are a priori estimates in weighted Sobolev norms for solutions of linear partial differential
equations subject to boundary conditions. Such estimates proved to be extremely useful for several kinds of uniformly parabolic
equations and systems. This is the first work where such estimates are derived for degenerate parabolic operators in dimension higher
than one. Applications to null controllability with locally distributed controls and inverse source problems are also developed in full
detail.
Compared to nondegenerate parabolic problems, the current context requires major technical adaptations and a frequent use
of Hardy type inequalities. On the other hand, the treatment is essentially self-contained, and only calls upon standard results in
Lebesgue measure theory, functional analysis and ordinary differential equations.
