This book presents a unified picture of recent progress in diverse interdisciplinary problems of nonlinear dynamics and chaos. The major topics covered include waves, patterns and instabilities in spatially extended systems, coupled oscillations and neuronal systems, granular dynamics and complex systems, chaos control, and applications of chaos and nonlinear dynamics. The book will give researchers and graduate students interested in nonlinear dynamics a pointer on the future direction of this rapidly developing field.

The original contribution of this thesis is two-fold: a) it addresses a gap in the published literature on the accommodation of potential information from segments that are observed to have not crashes, which as a result can affect the estimated severity distributions; and b) by accounting for such selection effects, the thesis also makes original contributions in the area of the nature of the impact of selection effects on parameters associated with severity models. In particular, the severity models are formulated as two-stage models where information on both geometrics and collision type...
