Key Features
Each chapter has been designed so that enough scientific background will be given in each chapter for further development of methods by readers themselves.
Useful for all levels of scientists starting from the last years of colleges, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows to professors and to all levels of scientists in research institutes including industry.
