Trois enquêtes de Roy Grace réunies en un seul volume !
Tu ne m'oublieras jamaisLa femme du commissaire Roy Grace, disparue neuf ans auparavant, aurait-elle enfin été retrouvée ? L'idée le terrifie. Et si les premières constatations du médecin légiste se confirment, il s'agirait bien de son cadavre dans un collecteur d'eaux de Brighton. Cette découverte macabre n'est que la première pièce d'un puzzle. Les autres vont mener Grace dans les décombres des attentats du 11 Septembre et sous le soleil d'Australie, avec cette question lancinante : est-il donc si facile de disparaître ?
La mort n'attend pasCaitlin a seulement 15 ans et son seul espoir de vivre est d'obtenir une greffe de foie, de toute urgence. Mais les listes d'attente sont longues, son groupe sanguin rare et le temps joue contre elle.
Aujourd'hui, tout se vend, tout s'achète sur Internet, il suffit de savoir où chercher. Une mère aux abois ne recule devant rien pour sauver son enfant. Et certains le savent...
Rory Grace doit agir vite : la mort n'attend pas...
A deux pas de la mortNuit de la Saint-Sylvestre à Brighton : une jeune femme est violemment attaquée à l'hôtel Métropole. Son agresseur emporte ses vêtements et ses escarpins avant de prendre la fuite. Quand l'information tombe, le commissaire Grace est précipité douze ans en arrière, en 1997. À l'époque, l'homme aux chaussures, comme on l'avait surnommé, avait agressé plusieurs femmes, avant de s'emparer d'un de leurs escarpins. Tous des modèles de créateurs. Un trophée... Un souvenir cuisant pour Roy Grace qui n'est jamais parvenu à arrêter le coupable. Lorsqu'une seconde agression avec vol de chaussures est recensée à Brighton, le profil d'un fétichiste commence à se dessiner. Quant aux similitudes avec 1997, elles se multiplient. Même schéma. Même période de l'année. Même mode opératoire. Or après la cinquième victime, l'homme était passé au meurtre. Roy Grace veut éviter à tout prix que ce cycle macabre ne se répète. Pour cela, il va devoir replonger dans un passé tourmenté, à une époque où son épouse Sandy n'avait pas encore disparu... -

- Wiley-Interscience
- 27 Octobre 2005
- 9780471741787
The growth of the environmental sciences has greatly expanded the scope of biological disciplines today's engineers have to deal with. Yet, despite its fundamental importance, the full breadth of biology has been given short shrift in most environmental engineering and science courses.
Filling this gap in the professional literature, Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists introduces students of chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental engineering to a broad range of biological concepts they may not otherwise be exposed to in their training. Based on a graduate-level course designed to teach engineers to be literate in biological concepts and terminology, the text covers a wide range of biology without making it tedious for non-biology majors.
Teaching aids include:
* Notes, problems, and solutions
* Problem sets at the end of each chapter
* PowerPoints(r) of many figures
A valuable addition to any civil engineering and environmental studies curriculum, this book also serves as an important professional reference for practicing environmental professionals who need to understand the biological impacts of pollution. -

Sedimentology
James L. Best, C. R. Fielding, Ian Jarvis, Peter Mozley
- Wiley-Blackwell
- 11 Mai 2009
- 9781444313154
Sedimentology has seen many significant advances and changes over the past 40 years, ranging from facies modelling to sequence stratigraphy; chemostratigraphy to basin analysis; and the integration of studies of physical, chemical and, increasingly, biological processes in the interpretation and prediction of sedimentary environments and products. The subject is becoming ever more interdisciplinary and applied, and now has far more links to other physical sciences. Research and debate are continuing afresh as we move into this new interdisciplinary phase and promise many developments and increased uses of our subject. Now seemed a good time to publish a series of review papers concerning some key current areas of research. We hope that these papers will provide comprehensive starting points for those wishing to become acquainted with an area, act as stimuli for debate, and provide awareness and ideas for future research avenues. No issue of this sort can, of course, ever be truly comprehensive in its coverage: these reviews concern only selected snippets from the wide scope of sedimentology and each has, of necessity, been selective in its own area.

True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling and Non-Minimal State Space Designdevelops a true digital control design philosophy that encompasses data-based model identification, through to control algorithm design, robustness evaluation and implementation. With a heritage from both classical and modern control system synthesis, this book is supported by detailed practical examples based on the authors' research into environmental, mechatronic and robotic systems. Treatment of both statistical modelling and control design under one cover is unusual and highlights the important connections between these disciplines. Starting from the ubiquitous proportional-integral controller, and with essential concepts such as pole assignment introduced using straightforward algebra and block diagrams, this book addresses the needs of those students, researchers and engineers, who would like to advance their knowledge of control theory and practice into the state space domain; and academics who are interested to learn more about non-minimal state variable feedback control systems. Such non-minimal state feedback is utilised as a unifying framework for generalised digital control system design. This approach provides a gentle learning curve, from which potentially difficult topics, such as optimal, stochastic and multivariable control, can be introduced and assimilated in an interesting and straightforward manner. Key features: Covers both system identification and control system design in a unified manner Includes practical design case studies and simulation examples Considers recent research into time-variable and state-dependent parameter modelling and control, essential elements of adaptive and nonlinear control system design, and the delta-operator (the discrete-time equivalent of the differential operator) systems Accompanied by a website hosting MATLAB examples True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling and Non-Minimal State Space Design is a comprehensive and practical guide for students and professionals who wish to further their knowledge in the areas of modern control and system identification.

The Legal Doctrines of the Rule of Law and the Legal State (Rechtsstaat)
James R. Silkenat, James E. Hickey Jr., Peter D. Barenboim
- Springer
- 28 Mai 2014
- 9783319055855
This book explores the development of both the civil law conception of the Legal State and the common law conception of the Rule of Law. It examines the philosophical and historical background of both concepts, as well as the problem of the interrelation between the two doctrines. The book brings together twenty-five leading scholars from around the world and provides both general and specific jurisdictional perspectives of the issue in both contemporary and historical settings. The Rule of Law is a legal doctrine the meaning of which can only be fully appreciated in the context of both the common law and the European civil law tradition of the Legal State (Rechtsstaat). The Rule of Law and the Legal State are fundamental safeguards of human dignity and of the legitimacy of the state and the authority of state prescriptions.

This book introduces computational proximity (CP) as an algorithmic approach to finding nonempty sets of points that are either close to each other or far apart. Typically in computational proximity, the book starts with some form of proximity space (topological space equipped with a proximity relation) that has an inherent geometry. In CP, two types of near sets are considered, namely, spatially near sets and descriptivelynear sets. It is shown that connectedness, boundedness, mesh nerves, convexity, shapes and shape theory are principal topics in the study of nearness and separation of physical aswell as abstract sets. CP has a hefty visual content. Applications of CP in computer vision, multimedia, brain activity, biology, social networks, and cosmology are included. The book has been derived from the lectures of the author in a graduate course on the topology of digital images taught over the past several years. Many of the students have provided important insights and valuable suggestions. The topics in this monograph introduce many forms of proximities with a computational flavour (especially, what has become known as the strong contact relation), many nuances of topological spaces, and point-free geometry.
