W. Wiesemann, Imperial College London Optimization of Temporal Networks under Uncertainty
Many decision problems in operations research are defined on temporal networks, that is, work- flows of time-consuming tasks whose processing order is constrained by precedence relations. For example, temporal networks are used to model projects, computer applications, digital circuits and production processes. Optimization problems arise in temporal networks when a decision maker wishes to determine a temporal arrangement of the tasks and/or a resource assignment that opti- mizes some network characteristic (e.g. the time required to complete all tasks). The parameters of these optimization problems (e.g. the task dura- tions) are typically unknown at the time the deci- sion problem arises. This monograph investigates solution techniques for optimization problems in temporal networks that explicitly account for this parameter uncertainty. We study several formula- tions, each of which requires different information about the uncertain problem parameters.
Features 7 Combines the state-of-the-art in optimization under uncertainty and temporal networks 7 De- velops a unified perspective on temporal networks, covering applications in project management, computer science, electrical engineering and production scheduling 7 Numerous examples explain the concepts and provide a natural flow

R. Saravanan, M. P. Rani, The Madura College, Madurai, India Metal and Alloy Bonding - An Experimental Analysis Charge Density in Metals and Alloys
Charge density analysis of materials provides a firm basis for the evaluation of the properties of materials. The design and engineering of a new combination of metals requires a firm knowledge of intermolecular features. Recent advances in technology and high-speed computation have made the crystal X-ray diffraction technique a unique tool for the determination of charge density distribution in molecular crystal. Methods have been developed to make experimental probes capable of unraveling the features of charge densities in the intra- and inter-molecular regions of crystal structures. In Metal and Alloy Bonding - An Experimental Analysis, the structural details of materials are elucidated with the X-ray diffraction technique. Analyses of the charge density and the local and average structure are given to reveal the structural properties of technologically important materials.
Features 7 Provides experimental results relating to the charge density in metals and alloys 7 Includes a complete analysis of the structure, local distribu- tion of atoms and electron distribution in core, valence and bonding region 7 Gives readers the necessary knowledge of charge density to manipulate the manufacture of alloys for specific applications

M. Winter, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MN, USA Rethinking Virtue Ethics
Rethinking Virtue Ethics offers a model of Aristo- telian virtue ethics based on a deductive paradigm. This book argues that, contrary to what many contemporary thinkers are inclined to believe, Aristotelian virtue ethics is consistent with at least some action-guiding moral principles being true unconditionally, and that a justification for general moral principles can be grounded in fundamental concepts within Aristotle’s theory. An analysis of ethical propositions that hold for the most part is proposed that fits well within the deductive paradigm developed. This unique interpretation of virtue ethics has implications for recent discus- sions of the virtues in social psychology, issues about how fundamental moral principles are known, questions about the justification of inali- enable rights, debates about moral particularism and generalism, and discussions of moral realism and anti-realism.
Features 7 Offers an original and unique contribution to a vibrant discussion in contemporary philoso- phy 7 Provides a basis for seeing how to make a philosophical case for inalienable rights 7 Ex- plains how unconditional ethical principles are consistent with a virtue based approach to ethics 7 Addresses some of the main challenges and objections to virtue ethics in contemporary literature
