Random fields are a necessity when formulating stochastic continuum theories. In this book, a theory of random piezoelectric and piezomagnetic materials is developed. First, elements of the continuum mechanics of electromagnetic solids are presented. Then the relevant linear gov…

Predictive maintenance aims to minimize the downtime due to maintenance, while simultaneously minimizing the risk of unforeseen failures. Efforts in predictive maintenance have been focused on predicting the remaining useful life of a machine. There is need for a more comprehens…
The statistical modelling of extreme precipitation structures is essential in many aspects such as assessing and managing risks resulting from the occurrence of such extreme events for agricultural purposes, in particular. Typically, daily precipitation time series with many zer…
Determining risk to human populations due to natural disasters has been a topic of interest in the STEM fields for centuries. Earthquakes and the tsunamis they cause are of particular interest due to their repetition cycles. These cycles can last hundreds of years but we have on…
This study examined the role of particular tasks implemented through two instructional methods on college students' achievement and understanding of probability. A mixed methods design that utilized a pre-test and post-test was used. This included treatment and control groups, e…
Although they are both accounts of events, the history and the novel are not commensurate; the novel’s content is usually considered as opposed to that of history. It is assumed that history relates real things whereas the novel excels in dealing with the imagination (fiction). …
The evolution of the concept of "randomness" is explored through the method of historical research. This dissertation examines the use of chance mechanisms through artifacts originating in Mesopotamia, the Indus valley, Egypt, and Babylonia as early as the third millennium B.C. …
This dissertation investigated preservice secondary mathematics teachers' preparation to teach probability and statistics, their confidence in their ability to teach probability and statistics to secondary students, and their understanding of selected probability and statistics …
This textbook, now in its third edition, offers a practical introduction to probability with statistical applications, covering material for both a first and second undergraduate probability course. The author focuses on essential concepts that every student should thoroughly un…

This volume gathers selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the XXVI International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM), held on July 8-11, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The respective chapters address a range of timely topics in in…
This volume features a collection of contributed articles and lecture notes from the XIII Symposium on Probability and Stochastic Processes, held at UNAM, Mexico, in December 2017. It is split into two main parts: the first one presents lecture notes of the course provided by Ma…
This Springer brief addresses the challenges encountered in the study of the optimization of time-nonhomogeneous Markov chains. It develops new insights and new methodologies for systems in which concepts such as stationarity, ergodicity, periodicity and connectivity do not appl…
This dissertation investigates how political instability is related to the probability of civil war. According to the literature in comparative politics, regime breakdown is caused by critical events such as economic decline, defeat in interstate war, death of a leader in office…
