From richly textured handmade paper to elegant pop-ups, "Paper in Three Dimensions" features a full range of papercrafting techniques--all with a three-dimensional slant, presented by Diane Maurer-Mathison, an internationally recognized expert in the art of decorating paper. 220 illustrations, 200 in color.

This volume brings together presentations from two sessions organized for the XVII World UISPP Conference: The scientific value of 3D archaeology, and Detecting the Landscape(s).

This is a vintage manual on basic geometrical drawing, designed for use in high schools, academies, and engineering schools. Comprehensive and beginner-friendly, this volume is ideal for students of engineering and architecture, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Purely Geometrical or Rational Theory of Projections", "Of the Relations of Lines to their Projections", "Physical Theory of Projections", "Conventional Mode of Representing the Two Planes of Projection", "Notation", "Of the use of the Method of Projections", "Projection of Straight Lines", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing "A Manual of Elementary Geometrical Drawing Involving Three Dimensions" now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.

Geoscientific modelling has some unique requirements. Modern geological applications require increasingly quantitative and accurate rock property characerizations within the three-dimensional subsurface environment. this problem differs from that faced by most other fields due to a variety of technocal and economic constriants. Three-dimensional geoscientific modelling often relies on complex stochastic concepts and thus requires the extraction of information from large multiparameter data sets, and the representation and modification of complex, and uncertain geo-objects of interest.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2001, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2001. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 paper submissions. Also included are a corrected version of a paper from the predecessor volume, short reports on the software systems exhibition, two papers of the special session on graph exchange formats, and a report on the annual graph drawing contests. The papers are organized in topical sections on hierarchical drawing, planarity, crossing theory, compaction, planar graphs, symmetries, interactive drawing, representations, aesthetics, 2D- and 3D-embeddings, data visualization, floor planning, and planar drawing.

Motivated by the theory of turbulence in fluids, the physicist and chemist Lars Onsager conjectured in 1949 that weak solutions to the incompressible Euler equations might fail to conserve energy if their spatial regularity was below 1/3-Hölder. In this book, Philip Isett uses the method of convex integration to achieve the best-known results regarding nonuniqueness of solutions and Onsager's conjecture. Focusing on the intuition behind the method, the ideas introduced now play a pivotal role in the ongoing study of weak solutions to fluid dynamics equations. The construction itself—an intricate algorithm with hidden symmetries—mixes together transport equations, algebra, the method of nonstationary phase, underdetermined partial differential equations (PDEs), and specially designed high-frequency waves built using nonlinear phase functions. The powerful "Main Lemma"—used here to construct nonzero solutions with compact support in time and to prove nonuniqueness of solutions to the initial value problem—has been extended to a broad range of applications that are surveyed in the appendix. Appropriate for students and researchers studying nonlinear PDEs, this book aims to be as robust as possible and pinpoints the main difficulties that presently stand in the way of a full solution to Onsager's conjecture.

This book presents the latest tools, techniques, and solutions that decision makers use to overcome the challenges faced by their sustainable supply chains. Given the ever increasing significance of socio-economic and environmental factors, the management of sustainable supply chains has become a complex and dynamic task. Multiple and conflicting objectives of stakeholders including suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, and retailers add to the complexity of decisions that modern day managers of supply chains face. With the unprecedented technological developments and innovations at hand, sustainability can be maximized for all the activities of a supply chain including: service concept and product design, material sourcing and procurement, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product, and end-of-life management of the product. Consequently, the sustainable supply chains' problems require a systematic and integrated approach. Modeling and simulation, in general, as well as system dynamics and agent-based modeling, in particular, have the capabilities to deal with the complexity of sustainable supply chain related problems. This book will appeal to professionals and researchers in the field.
