It’s May 6, 2010 and in New York it’s 2:40 p.m. You switch to your favorite business channel, wherever you may be in the world, and immediately notice something very unusual going on. Pandemonium comes to mind, and then you see why: The Dow is down almost 1000 points! As you stare at the displayed charts thinking what the hell might be causing this, the major indices almost miraculously recover within minutes. This event, now known as the Flash Crash, changed your perception of the financi...

This monograph provides an extensive treatment of the theory and applications of the celebrated Borel-Cantelli Lemma. Starting from some of the basic facts of the axiomatic probability theory, it embodies the classical versions of these lemma, together with the well known as well as the most recent extensions of them due to Barndorff-Nielsen, Balakrishnan and Stepanov, Erdos and Renyi, Kochen and Stone, Petrov and the present author. The versions of the second Borel-Cantelli Lemma for pair...

As the global population lives to an increasing older age, there is a need to research, develop and deliver appropriate anaesthesia and pain management care to these increasingly frail and vulnerable patients. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of all aspects of anaesthesia for the elderly patient looking at the effect of ageing on the systems of the body and the role that age has on drug mechanisms. Designed for both consultants and trainees who care for elderly pati...

Ophthalmic anaesthesia is important for anaesthetists, ophthalmologists and those who are involved in the care of patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. This book provide them with the basic knowledge of anatomy, the principles relating to the safe conduct of general and regional anaesthesia in children and adult patients, the specific anaesthetic techniques, and the changes that have occurred in ophthalmic anaesthesia over the last decades. It combines internationally known and respected...

This book gives readers in-depth know-how on methods of state estimation for nonlinear control systems. It starts with an introduction to dynamic control systems and system states and a brief description of the Kalman filter. In the following chapters, various state estimation techniques for nonlinear systems are discussed, including the extended, unscented and cubature Kalman filters. The cubature Kalman filter and its variants are introduced in particular detail because of their efficien...

This title addresses the most important aspect of anaesthetic training - learning in the operating suite. The information is clearly presented and can be easily incorporated into the practice of clinical anaesthesia. The practical guidance provided, from organising the department, assessing competence, teaching practical procedures or organising simulator sessions, is based on many years of experience. There are chapters devoted to the issues of portfolio-based training and the use of ment...

Digital computers have revolutionized computation and transformed how computers are used to control systems in real life, giving birth to real-time systems. Furthermore, massive developments in the communications domain have made it possible for real-time systems to perform coordinated actions over communication interfaces, resulting in the evoluti
