Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Data assimilation is a novel, versatile methodology for estimating atmospheric and oceanic variables. The estimation of a quantity of interest via data assimilation involves the combination of observational data with the underlying dynamical principles governing the system under observation.This volume contains many original findings in data assimilation and its applications related to atmospheric, oceanic and environmental systems. This covers various data assimilation techniques with in Bayesian and non-Bayesian framework ranging from Least-Square, nudging, three dimensional variational (3DVAR), four-dimensional variational (4DVAR), Local Ensemble Kalman filter, Genetic algorithm etc. This also covers the applications to extreme weather event, hurricane, Asian summer monsoon, structure of the barrier layer in the equatorial Pacific ocean and identification of emission sources.This volume will be useful as a reading material in graduate level courses dealing with data assimilation and its application to meteorology, ocean and air quality. The scientific community at large especially younger scientists will find this book a useful addition to their personal and institutional libraries.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Intemational Meeting on Vitamin B6 and Carbonyl Catalysis took place on Capri, Italy from 22nd to 27th May 1994 and was organized in conjunction with the 3rd Symposium on PQQ and Quinoproteins. It was an extraordinary occasion for scientists from all over the world to meet and discuss new developments in these overlapping fields. Several sessions were dedicated to the molecular aspects of Vitamin B6 and Quinone dependent enzymes, as well as to the cellular, biomedical and nutritional aspects. The congress was inaugurated by Paolo Fasella in his capacity as General Director of Science, Research and Development of the Commission of the European Communities, with an overview on Intemational Scientific Collaboration. The scientific sessions started with a talk on the History of Vitamin B6 given by David Metzler who at the very last minute presented Esmond Snell's paper adding some personal remarks. Unfortunately, both Esmond Snell and Alton Meister had to unexpectedly cancel the trip to Capri. These proceedings contain the papers presented as oral contributions and a few selected poster presentations. The limited number of pages meant we could not publish many interesting poster presentations, including those selected for the three lively and exciting evening poster discussion sessions called by the organizers 'Vino, taralli and . discussion'.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 388 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -by Ivor Grattan-Guinness Until twenty years ago the outline history of logicism was well known. Frege had had the important ideas, until he was eclipsed by Wittgenstein. Russell was important in publicising the former and tutoring the latter, and also for working with Moore in the conversion of British philosophy from neo-Hegelianism to the new analytic tradition in the 1900s, but his own work on logic and especially logicism was very muddled. Around that time Russell, who was still alive, sold his manuscripts to McMaster University in Canada, and interest in his achievements in logic began to develop, especially after his death in 1970. Scholars found thousands of folios of unpublished holograph awaiting their attention, and also hundreds of pertinent letters (both in the Russell Archives and elsewhere in certain recipients' collections). Various facets of his work came to light for the first time, and others -which could have been gleaned from carefully reading of the published sources- gained new publicity from the evidence revealed in manuscripts. Even the technical passage work, which constitutes the unread majority of the Principia mathematica (1910-13) of Russell and Whitehead, began to receive a little respectful scrutiny. It turned out that Russell had done several pioneering things. While indeed often incoherent in reference and content, they comprised major forays into the new mathematical logic, of which he turned out to be a major founder: some are even of interest to modem studies.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 252 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Inequalities arise as an essential component in various mathematical areas. Besides forming a highly important collection of tools, e.g. for proving analytic or stochastic theorems or for deriving error estimates in numerical mathematics, they constitute a challenging research field of their own. Inequalities also appear directly in mathematical models for applications in science, engineering, and economics.This edited volume covers divers aspects of this fascinating field. It addresses classical inequalities related to means or to convexity as well as inequalities arising in the field of ordinary and partial differential equations, like Sobolev or Hardy-type inequalities, and inequalities occurring in geometrical contexts. Within the last five decades, the late Wolfgang Walter has made great contributions to the field of inequalities. His book on differential and integral inequalities was a real breakthrough in the 1970¿s and has generated a vast variety of further research in this field. He also organized six of the seven ¿General Inequalities¿ Conferences held at Oberwolfach between 1976 and 1995, and co-edited their proceedings. He participated as an honorary member of the Scientific Committee in the ¿General Inequalities 8¿ conference in Hungary. As a recognition of his great achievements, this volume is dedicated to Wolfgang Walter¿s memory. The ¿General Inequalities¿ meetings found their continuation in the ¿Conferences on Inequalities and Applications¿ which, so far, have been held twice in Hungary. This volume contains selected contributions of participants of the second conference which took place in Hajdúszoboszló in September 2010, as well as additional articles written upon invitation. These contributions reflect many theoretical and practical aspects in the field of inequalities, and will be useful for researchers and lecturers,as well as for students who want to familiarize themselves with the area.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 344 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On May 24-27,1992 the European Society ofOsteoarthrology (ESOA) held its 19th sympo sium in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The symposium was entitled 'Joint destruction in arthritis and osteoarthritis' and sought to combine both clinical and experimental studies in this field. The present volume contains the proceedings of this meeting. The ESOA has organized most of its symposia in the eastern part of Europe, thanks to major input from Stanislav Havelka, who in recent years has been supported by Heikki Helminen. In appreciation of his efforts Stan Havelka was granted Honorary Presidentship of the ESOA at the meeting. In the era of European unification it seemed desirable to create a strong Uni fied European Society, which would organize major meetings in both parts of Europe. Cartilage and bone research is expanding rapidly and the number of meetings in this field is continually growing. In line with these developments discussions took place with the recent Iy founded 'Eular Workshop on Bone and Cartilage Research' and the 'Osteoarthritis Re search Society (OARS)'. 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cell motility is an important component of many basic physiologic and pathologic processes. Understanding mechanisms of cell motility is therefore essential to the development of new research and clinical approaches in biomedical research. In the early phases of embryogenesis, prepreogrammed morpho genetic movement determines normal development. The migration of the neural crest cells, for example, is responsible for the establishment of almost the entire peripheral nervous system, the proper positioning of the epinephrine-secreting cells in the adrenal gland and the deposition of pigment cells in the skin (Newgreen and Erikson, 1986). Any distur bance or deviation from this complex migration pattern results in serious malformations. The embryonic cells are stimulated to migrate by internal signals as well as by signals from adjacent cells. Various stimulatory and inhibitory mechanisms are likely to operate during this dynamic process. However, once morphogenesis is achieved, most so matic cells tend to remain stationary, and the motile phenotype is dormant. Under certain physiologic and pathologic conditions, however, cells re-express their motile phenotype and migrate. In wound healing and angiogenesis cell migration and proper three-dimensional positioning is critical. Endothelial cell migration following luminal injury is another homeostatic mechanism which helps prevent vascular lesions (Reidy and Silver, 1985; Sholley et aI., 1977; Wong and Gottlieb, 1988). In pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis, smooth muscle cell migration through the internal elastic lamina to the luminal surface may be the initial event leading to the development of the atherosclerotic plaque (Goldberg, 1982). 227 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This conference was held at the Mathematical Research Institute in Oberwolfach from 30 November to 6 December 1986 under the direc tion of J. Albrecht (Clausthal-Zellerfeld), L. Collatz (Hamburg), W. Velte (Wlirzburg) and W. Wunderlich (Bochum). Focal points during the meeting were eigenvalue problems in the engineering sciences and in industry, methods for calculating bounds for eigenvalues, and matrix eigenvalue problems. Central to the lectures on eigenvalue problems pertinent to the engineering sciences and industry were oscillation and stability problems; for these, numerical treatment drew mainly on finite element methods in the lectures as well as in the ensuing discus sions, questions concerning the quality of the mathematical models applied, and the choice of appropriate finite elements, were given wide latitude. Other lectures addressed new research results in the calculation of (primarly lower) bounds for eigenvalues. The ramifications of these results were illustrated by numerous examples taken from fields in the engineering sciences and physics. The extensive use of finite-element methods (made possible in the wake of major computer advances) has led to new research in matrix eigenvalue problems, and several lectures reported on results which have been achieved in this area. 246 pp. Deutsch.
