      A Simple Introduction to Data and Activity Analysis provides an introduction to the main concepts embodied in the analysis techniques. This book provides a more balanced picture of the methods of the analysis by showing what deliverables are collected as well as how to obtain them. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of some of the activities that need to be done to analyze the business and some of the end and intermediate deliverables produced by these activities. This text then explains how to get the activity analysis deliverables. Other chapters consider the causes and effects of problems in business. This book discusses as well how activities can be decomposed or broken down into more and more detailed activities, using the techniques of activity decomposition and data flow diagramming. The final chapter deals with the methods of analysis that show how different types of input could be converted into the data and activity models. This book is a valuable resource for computer programmers.

      Entire Functions focuses on complex numbers and the algebraic operations on them and the basic principles of mathematical analysis. The book first elaborates on the concept of an entire function, including the natural generalization of the concept of a polynomial and power series. The text then takes a look at the maximum absolute value and the order of an entire function, as well as calculations for the coefficients of power series representing a given function, use of integrals, and complex numbers. The publication elaborates on the zeros of an entire function and the fundamental theorem of algebra and Picard’s little theorem. Calculations for the zeros of an entire function and numerical representations of Liouville's theorem and Picard’s little theorem are presented. The book also examines algebraic relationships and addition theorems, including an explanation of Weierstrass' theorem and Picard’s little theorem. The manuscript is a vital reference for students interested in the numerical approaches involved in entire functions.

      The Remarkable Sine Functions focuses on the trigonometric functions of sine and cosine. The publication first offers information on the geometric definition of circular, hyperbolic, and lemniscate functions, generalized sines, and integration in the complex plane. Discussions focus on the properties and characteristics of circular, lemniscate, and hyperbolic functions, uniform approach to generalized sines, and the process of integration in complex variables. The text then elaborates on the use of Euler's method in deriving the addition theorems and study of complex values, including the employment of the relationship between the sine and cosine in rewriting addition theorems and formulas that can be used in the determination of real values. The manuscript ponders on zeros and poles, simple and double periodicity, and the concept of an elliptic function. Concerns include circular and hyperbolic functions, Jacobian functions, and the functions of sine and cosine. The book is a valuable reference for mathematicians and researchers interested in the functions of sine and cosine.

      Combustion of Pulverised Coal in a Mixture of Oxygen and Recycled Flue Gas focuses on a niche technology, combustion of coal in an oxygen rich environment, which is one approach to obtaining ‘clean coal,’ by making it easier to capture carbon that is released in the combustion process. Toporov’s book breaks ground on covering the key fundamentals of oxycoal technologies, which have not yet been covered in this depth. Combustion of Pulverised Coal in a Mixture of Oxygen and Recycled Flue Gas summarizes the main results from a pioneering work on experimental and numerical investigations of oxyfuel technologies. It provides the theoretical background of the process, the problems to be faced, and the technical solutions that were achieved during these investigations.
