This monograph presents key method to successfully manage the growing complexity of systems where conventional engineering and scientific methodologies and technologies based on learning and adaptability come to their limits and new ways are nowadays required. The transition from adaptable to evolvable and finally to self-evolvable systems is highlighted, self-properties such as self-organization, self-configuration, and self-repairing are introduced and challenges and limitations of the self-evolvable engineering systems are evaluated.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Natural phenomena consist of simultaneously occurring transport processes and chemical reactions. These processes may interact with each other and may lead to self-organized structures, fluctuations, instabilities, and evolutionary systems. Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics, 3rd edition emphasizes the unifying role of thermodynamics in analyzing the natural phenomena.
Nuclear Energy, Seventh Edition
Nuclear Energy is one of the most popular texts ever published on basic nuclear physics, systems, and applications of nuclear energy. This newest edition continues the tradition of offering a holistic treatment of everything the undergraduate engineering student needs to know in a clear and accessible way. The book presents a comprehensive overview of radioactivity, radiation protection, nuclear reactors, waste disposal, and nuclear medicine.

Handbook of Culture, Therapy and Healing
Emotional, as well as physical distress, is a heritage from our hominid ancestors; it has been experienced by every group of human beings since our emergence as a species. And every known culture has developed systems of conceptualization and intervention for addressing it.

British Forts in the Age of Arthur
When the Romans left Britain around AD 410 the island had not been fully subjugated. In the Celtic fringes the unconquered native peoples were presented with the opportunity to pillage what remained of Roman Britain. By way of response the Post-Roman Britons did their best to defend themselves from attack, and to preserve what they could of the systems left behind by the Romans. The best way to defend their territory was to create fortifications. While some old Roman forts were maintained, the Post-Roman Britons also created new strongholds, or re-occupied some of the long-abandoned hill-forts first built by their ancestors before the coming of the Romans.

Secrets of Non-Standard Sit N Gos
If you think you know sit’n’gos…think again!The sit’n’go (single table tournament) format is one of the most popular and exciting ways to play poker. The classic sit’n’go consists of ten players sitting at one table and playing for three prizes – but this is not the only possible format. There are many other ways that these events can be run and they can provide a lucrative opportunity for the skilled player. In ‘Secrets of non-standard Sit’n’gos,’ Phil Shaw navigates you through these exciting variants and explains how you can make them profitable.The alternative formats discussed include: – Heads-up sit’n’gos (two players)- Sit’n’gos played across two tables- 45-player and 180-player sit’n’gos- Non-NL games, including Pot-Limit Omaha, Stud, Razz, Triple Draw and Hi-lo games- Step systems (where players can win entries to tournaments like the EPT and WSOP)…and many moreAs well as a deep examination of the correct strategies for all these events, ‘Secrets of non-standard Sit’n’gos’ also analyses the most effective way to capitalise on rakeback and reward programs.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Programming Multi-Agent Systems, ProMAS 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA, in May 2007 as an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the 6th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems.
Cross-Linked Liquid Crystalline Systems
Liquid crystal displays were discovered in the 1960s, and today we continue to enjoy the benefits of that fundamental discovery and its translation into a wide variety of products. Like liquid crystals, polymers are unusual materials, and have similarly enjoyed a great deal of research attention because of their vast applications and uses and complex fundamental properties. The combination of liquid crystal and polymer properties produces a broad array of new effectsspanning from densely crosslinked, rigid polymer networks to weakly crosslinked elastomersthat are not simply manifestations of either native liquid crystals or polymers alone.
