This book provides a new paradigm for evacuation planning strategies and techniques. Recently, evacuation planning and modeling have increasingly attracted interest among researchers as well as government officials. This interest stems from the recent catastrophic hurricanes and weather-related events that occurred in the southeastern United States (Hurricane Katrina and Rita). The evacuation methods that were in place before and during the hurricanes did not work well and resulted in thousands of deaths. This book offers insights into the methods and techniques that allow for implementing mathematical-based, simulation-based, and integrated optimization and simulation-based engineering approaches for evacuation planning.

Traditional mathematics often plays a vital role in the solution of industrial problems. This volume describes industrial problems presented at a graduate-level modeling workshop designed to improve the graduate students' vision about the type of mathematics and science they should pursue whether they aspire to academic or nonacademic postgraduate careers. The problems represent a broad spectrum of mathematical topics and applications including statistics, signal processing, fluid dynamics, ODE, and PDE, optimization, and numerical analysis. This volume can be used as a reference for mathematical modeling, signal processing, PDE, and applied control courses. Industry representatives presented the following topics for graduate students to investigate during the ten-day workshop: Curvature Modeling in THUNDER Actuators; Maximizing Deflection While Minimizing Power Consumption in a Piezoelectric Actuator Design; Mathematical Modeling of High Power Amplifier (HPA) and HPA Linearization Through a Predistorter; Time Dependent Consolidation of Fine Powders; High Precision, High Accuracy Control of Fluid Microdispenser Under Variable Load; and Mass Transport and Surface Reaction of Immunoassay.

This volume contains a selection of contributions that were presented at the Modeling and Optimization : Theory and Applications Conference (MOPTA) held at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA on August 18-20, 2010. The conference brought together a diverse group of researchers and practitioners, working on both theoretical and practical aspects of continuous or discrete optimization. Topics presented included algorithms for solving convex, network, mixed-integer, nonlinear, and global optimization problems, and addressed the application of optimization techniques in finance, logistics, health, and other important fields.

Model predictive vibration control provides insight into the predictive control of lightly damped vibrating structures by exploring computationally efficient algorithms which are capable of low frequency vibration control with guaranteed stability and constraint feasibility. In addition to a theoretical primer on active vibration damping and model predictive control, this book provides a guide through the necessary steps in understanding the founding ideas of predictive control applied in AVC such as, the implementation of computationally efficient algorithms, control strategies in simulation and experiment and typical hardware requirements for piezoceramics actuated smart structures.

This book offers a mathematical update of the state of the art of the research in the field of mathematical and numerical models of the circulatory system. It is structured into different chapters, written by outstanding experts in the field. Many fundamental issues are considered, such as : the mathematical representation of vascular geometries extracted from medical images, modelling blood rheology and the complex multilayer structure of the vascular tissue, and its possible pathologies, the mechanical and chemical interaction between blood and vascular walls, and the different scales coupling local and systemic dynamics. All of these topics introduce challenging mathematical and numerical problems, demanding for advanced analysis and efficient simulation techniques, and pay constant attention to applications of relevant clinical interest.
