No clinical opinion is more problematic, of greater consequence, or more pressing for a solution in military psychiatric medicine than differentiating malingering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During military conflicts, U.S. Armed Forces personnel endure daily hardships and life-threatening situations. For service men and women, the nature of war can produce the stress-related psychiatric condition of PTSD or the conscious simulation of symptoms of PTSD for secondary gain. Since malingering has a significant impact on the military and its mission, the importance of differentiating malingering from genuine PTSD makes it relevant that the present state of the art and science of this process be presented in this book.

Differential Treatment in International Environmental Law


Free Download Lavanya Rajamani, "Differential Treatment in International Environmental Law "
English | ISBN: 0199280703 | 2006 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB
With increasing disparities between nations, worsening poverty, and divergent historical, economic and political realities the international community faces significant hurdles in crafting a common platform for environmental action. The integration of countries into international environmental regimes is a central challenge. Differential treatment refers to the use of norms that provide different, or more advantageous treatment to some states. This book explores the value of differential treatment for developing countries, and examines the basis for and boundaries of differential treatment in international environmental law.

Partial Differential Operators and Mathematical Physics International Conference in Holzhau, Germany, July 3’9, 1994


Free Download Partial Differential Operators and Mathematical Physics: International Conference in Holzhau, Germany, July 3’9, 1994 By Sergio Albeverio, Fan Ru-Zong (auth.), Prof. Michael Demuth, Prof. Dr. Bert-Wolfgang Schulze (eds.)
1995 | 430 Pages | ISBN: 3034899033 | PDF | 11 MB
The book contains the contributions to the conference on "Partial Differential Equations" held in Holzhau (Germany) in July 1994, where outstanding specialists from analysis, geometry and mathematical physics reviewed recent progress and new interactions in these areas. Topics of special interest at the conference and which now form the core of this volume are hyperbolic operators, spectral theory for elliptic operators, eta-invariant, singular configura- tions and asymptotics, Bergman-kernel, attractors of non-autonomous evolution equations, pseudo-differential boundary value problems, Mellin pseudo- differential operators, approximation and stability problems for elliptic operators, and operator determinants. In spectral theory adiabatic and semiclassical limits, Dirichlet decoupling and domain perturbations, capacity of obstacles, limiting absorption problems, N-body scattering, and number of bound states are considered. Schr?dinger operators are studied with magnetic fields, with random and with many-body potentials, and for nonlinear problems. In semigroup theory the Feller property, errors for product formulas, fractional powers of generators, and functional integration for relativistic semigroups are analyzed.

1996 | 437 Pages | ISBN: 9401065535 | PDF | 11 MB
This volume contains thirty-six research articles presented at the Colloquium on Differential Geometry, which was held in Debrecen, Hungary, July 26-30, 1994. The conference was a continuation in the series of the Colloquia of the János Bolyai Society. The range covered reflects current activity in differential geometry. The main topics are Riemannian geometry, Finsler geometry, submanifold theory and applications to theoretical physics. Includes several interesting results by leading researchers in these fields: e.g. on non-commutative geometry, spin bordism groups, Cosserat continuum, field theories, second order differential equations, sprays, natural operators, higher order frame bundles, Sasakian and Kähler manifolds. Audience: This book will be valuable for researchers and postgraduate students whose work involves differential geometry, global analysis, analysis on manifolds, relativity and gravitation and electromagnetic theory.

Differential Equations A Dynamical Systems Approach Higher-Dimensional Systems


Free Download Differential Equations: A Dynamical Systems Approach: Higher-Dimensional Systems By John H. Hubbard, Beverly H. West (auth.)
1995 | 602 Pages | ISBN: 146128693X | PDF | 15 MB
Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the clas sical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, had led to the establishment of the series: Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose of this textbook series is to meet the current and future needs of these advances and encourage the teaching of new courses. TAM will publish textbooks suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and will complement the Applied Math ematical Sciences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced textbooks and research level monographs. Preface As in Part I, this book concentrates on understanding the behavior of dif ferential equations, rather than on solving the equations. Part I focused on differential equations in one dimension; this volume attempts to understand differential equations in n dimensions. The existence and uniqueness theory carries over with almost no changes.
