Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The method of layer potentials is one of the classical approaches to solving boundary value problems for elliptic differential equations. This method reduces the original problem to that of inverting an operator of the form '1/2+K' on appropriate function spaces on the boundary. If the boundary is smooth, then the double-layer potential operator K is compact; hence, '1/2+K' is Fredholm of index zero. However, if the boundary is non-smooth, the operator K is no longer compact. This book delves into the method of layer potentials on certain domains with singularities from a groupoid perspective. Through a desingularization process and integration of Lie algebroids, we can construct a Lie groupoid that encodes the geometry and singularities of the domain. Subsequently, we can identify the operator K with an invariant family of that Lie groupoid. By applying techniques from C\*-algebras and Lie groupoids, we can establish the Fredholm property of the operator '1/2+K'. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The De Havilland Mosquito and the Avro Lancaster were two of the most legendary British aircraft of all time, eclipsed only by the immortal Supermarine Spitfire in fame. They flew for the first time six weeks apart, on 25.11.1940 the Mosquito and on 9.1.1941 the Lancaster and they were both powered by the same RR Merlin engine. Commencing bomber operations over Europe in the spring of 1942, they were also produced in similar numbers (7,781 Mosquitoes and 7,377 Lancasters). Still, they served two different design philosophies: the mainstream philosophy of a slow, heavily armed bomber with a devastating payload (the mighty Lancaster), versus the alternative one of a very fast and unarmed combat aircraft made of wood, with many applications (the compact and multi-role Mosquito). A crucial question inevitably arises: which of the two was more cost/effective 92 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Interruptions and asking questions play a vital role in social communication and can exhibit status and power differences in regular conversation. Studies in gender communication describe the way men and women utilize their own linguistic register through the development of social subcultures. The different ways men and women report and communicate can increase interruption opportunities for those who speak less aggressively and less directly. Previous research at the United States Supreme Court shows that female judges were more likely to be interrupted than men. As a result, judges have altered their questioning and speaking styles to combat interruption. This thesis examines the variables of gender and types of interruption at the U.S. courts of appeals at three different appellate courts.This thesis observes gendered communication and whether communication patterns found at the Supreme Court were similar at the courts of appeals.

Plastic is ubiquitous as packaging material or as part of many products of our daily life. However, due to the steadily increasing global plastic production, plastic particles can now be found everywhere in the environment. It is estimated that between four and twelve million tonnes of plastic enter the seas and oceans every year. Plastic particles, which are intentionally manufactured, are called primary plastic particles. They are added to daily life products like cosmetics or are used in research and diagnostics. Fragmentation of larger plastic items into smaller pieces yields so called secondary plastics and the degradation is caused by exposure to sun, wind or water. In order to assess the potential risk of plastic particles in various sizes, details on the amount of particles released into the environment, their origin, the underlying transformation and fragmentation processes as well as the environmental effects are needed. 72 pp. Englisch.…
