Sommario/riassunto

Tall green grass. Subtle melodies of songbirds. Sharp whines of  muskrats. Rustles of water running through the grasses. And at low tide,  a pungent reminder of the treasures hidden beneath the surface.All are  vital signs of the great salt marshes' natural resources. Now  championed as critical habitats for plants, animals, and people because  of the environmental service and protection they provide, these  ecological wonders were once considered unproductive wastelands, home  solely to mosquitoes and toxic waste, and mistreated for centuries by  the human population. Exploring the fas

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents recent research work that is focused on mathematical solution strategies in the important areas of "Prognostic MR Thermometry for Thermal Ablation of Liver Tumours” and "Energy-efficient High Temperature Processes via Shape Optimization”. It is addressed to people who are interested in modern mathematical solutions for real-life applications. In particular, mathematical modelling, simulation and optimization are currently successfully used in various fields of application, such as the energy or health sector. Here, mathematics is often the driving force for new innovations and is most relevant for the success of many interdisciplinary projects. The presented chapters demonstrate the power of this emerging research field and show how society can benefit from applied mathematics.
