Sommario/riassunto |
|
The South-East Asia region is home to between 3.4 and 5.6 million injecting drug users. Opioid substitution therapy (OST) is useful and cost-effective intervention for managing opioid dependence. This title includes guidelines that help physicians and drug treatment professionals in establishing and delivering effective OST services in the region. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume encompasses prototypical, innovative and emerging examples and benchmarks of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs) and their applications, such as electrical networks, chemical reactors, multibody systems, and multiphysics models, to name but a few. Each article begins with an exposition of modelling, explaining whether the model is prototypical and for which applications it is used. This is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
followed by a mathematical analysis, and if appropriate, a discussion of the numerical aspects including simulation. Additionally, benchmark examples are included throughout the text. Mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists, working in both academia and industry either on differential-algebraic equations and systems or on problems where the tools and insight provided by differential-algebraic equations could be useful, would find this book resourceful. |
