This text gathers the existing literature devoted to evolution equations containing small (or large) parameters and introduces new results concerning singularly perturbed evolution equations of the resonance type.

This volume reviews the burgeoning industrial applications of fuzzy theory. The contributors are mostly industrial engineers or research experts in the field. The areas covered include automobiles, home appliances, voice recognition, medical techniques, fuzzy design and process control.

This volume presents integrative investigations and reviews which foster an understanding of the complex nature of the human condition. The emphasis is on the biological underpinnings of the social and ecological conditions of human kind.

This work presents a collection of major scientific papers of Sir Rudolf Peierls, including the Peierls-Frisch Memoranda of 1940 on the feasability, and the predicted human effects, of an atomic bomb made of uranium-235. Coverage includes solid state physics and transport theory.

Hans Bethe received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1967 for his work on the production of energy in stars. He helped to shape classical physics into quantum physics and increase the understanding of the atomic processes. This collection of papers by Hans Bethe dates from 1928 to the present.

This work contains 23 papers on astrophysics, chiefly on compact objects, written over a period of 23 years by H.A. Bethe, G.E. Brown and C.J. Lee. The papers are accompanied by an explanatory commentary. In addition there is an appendix on kaon condensation.

This invaluable volume is a collection of conference talks by James D Bjorken, who has made a huge impact on particle physics and the development of the Standard Model. The earliest of these talks was given in 1965, and the latest in 1990.
