Renowned scientists Lorenzo Farina and Sergio Rinaldi introduce readers to the world of positive linear systems in their rigorous but highly accessible book, rich in applications, examples, and figures.This professional reference is divided into three main parts: The first part contains the definitions and basic properties of p 410 0$aPure and Applied Mathematics: A Wiley Series of Texts, Monographs and Tracts 606 $aPositive systems 606 $aNon-negative matrices 606 $aLinear systems 615 0$aPositive systems. 615 0$aNon-negative matrices. 615 0$aLinear systems. 676 $a003.74 676 $a512.9 676 $a512.9434 700 $aFarina$b Lorenzo$f1963-$09304 702 $aRinaldi$b S$g(Sergio),$f1940- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205521703316 996 $aPositive linear systems$92230601 997 $aUNISA LEADER 05215nam 22006615 450 001 9910300380103321 005 20200706032813.0 010 $a3-319-01961-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-01961-1 035 $a(CKB)2670000000428573 035 $a(EBL)1466650 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001010770 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11933211 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001010770 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11003863 035 $a(PQKB)10828236 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1466650 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-01961-1 035 $a(PPN)17242450X 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000428573 100 $a20130918d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAlien Encounter $eA Scientific Novel /$fby Dirk Schulze-Makuch 205 $a2nd ed. 2014. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (242 p.) 225 1 $aScience and Fiction,$x2197-1188 300 $aSelf-published by the author, 2008 under the title: Voids of eternity : alien encounter. 311 $a3-319-01960-0 327 $aPart I: The Novel -- Alien Encounter -- Part II: The Science Behind the Fiction. 330 $aIt has been nearly 100 years since the Apollo moon landings, when Jack and Vladimir, two astronauts on a mission to Venus, discover a mysterious void related to indigenous life on the planet. Subsequently more voids are detected on Earth, Mars, Titan, and, quite ominously, inside a planetoid emerging from the Kuiper belt. Jack is sent to investigate the voids in the Solar System and intercept the planetoid - which, as becomes increasingly clear, is inhabited by alien life forms. Jack and his crew will have little time to understand their alien biochemistry, abilities, behavior patterns, resilience, and technology, but also how these life forms relate to the voids. Humankind's first encounter with these exotic life forms couldn't be more fateful, becoming a race against time to save life on Earth and to reveal the true nature of the voids, which seem to be intrinsically related to life and the universe itself. In this novel, the author combines many topics related to state-of-the-art research in the field of astrobiology with fictional elements to produce a thrilling page turner. This new version significantly develops the astrobiological denouement of the plot and features an extensive non-technical appendix where the underlying science is presented and discussed. From the reviews of the first edition (Voids of Eternity: Alien Encounter) Here's a thrilling yarn in the best "hard SF" tradition of Asimov, James Hogan, and Ben Bova, written by a scientist who knows all about the possibilities of life in the solar system and beyond. Dirk Schulze-Makuch weaves into his book all the astrobiological themes he's worked on in recent years -- speculation about creatures in the atmosphere of Venus and on and under the surface of Mars and Titan -- together with some well-informed Eastern philosophy and a cracking good space battle. A great first novel from a rising talent. Highly recommended. David Darling, on amazon.com, 2009 The research interests of Dr. Schulze-Makuch, currently a professor at Washington State University, focus on evolutionary adaptation strategies of organisms in their natural environment, particularly extreme environments such as found on other planetary bodies. Dirk Schulze-Makuch is best known for his publications on extraterrestrial life, being coauthor of three books on the topic: We Are Not Alone: Why We Have Already Found Extraterrestrial Life (2010), Cosmic Biology: How Life could Evolve on Other Worlds (2010), and Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints (2004). In 2011 he published with Paul Davies A One Way Mission to Mars: Colonizing the Red Planet and in 2012 with David Darling Megacatastrophes!
