Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Functionals involving both volume and surface energies have a number of applications ranging from Computer Vision to Fracture Mechanics. In order to tackle numerical and dynamical problems linked to such functionals many approximations by functionals defined on smooth functions have been proposed (using high-order singular perturbations, finite-difference or non-local energies, etc.) The purpose of this book is to present a global approach to these approximations using the theory of gamma-convergence and of special functions of bounded variation. The book is directed to PhD students and researchers in calculus of variations, interested in approximation problems with possible applications.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Introduction Model theorists have often joked in recent years that the part of mathemat ical logic known as 'pure model theory' (or stability theory), as opposed to the older and more traditional 'model theory applied to algebra' , turns out to have more and more to do with other subjects ofmathematics and to yield gen uine applications to combinatorial geometry, differential algebra and algebraic geometry. We illustrate this by presenting the very striking application to diophantine geometry due to Ehud Hrushovski: using model theory, he has given the first proof valid in all characteristics of the 'Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields' (The Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields, Journal AMS 9 (1996), 667-690). More recently he has also given a new (model theoretic) proof of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semi-abelian varieties over a number field. His proofyields the first effective bound for the cardinality ofthe finite sets involved (The Manin-Mumford conjecture, preprint). There have been previous instances of applications of model theory to alge bra or number theory, but these appl~cations had in common the feature that their proofs used a lot of algebra (or number theory) but only very basic tools and results from the model theory side: compactness, first-order definability, elementary equivalence. 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Linear Geostatistics covers basic geostatistics from the underlying statistical assumptions, the variogram calculation and modelling through to kriging. The underlying philosophy is to give the students an indepth understanding of the relevant theory and how to put it into practice. This means going into the theory in more detail than most books do, and also linking it with applications. It is assumed that readers, students and professionals alike, are familiar with basic probability and statistics, and matrix algebra needed for solving linear systems. Some reminders on these are given in an appendix at the end of the book. A set of exercises is integrated into the text.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 172 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules. The book starts with an introduction to DNA computing, exploring the power of complementarity, the basics of biochemistry, and language and computation theory. It then brings the reader to the most advanced theories develop thus far in this emerging research area.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 416 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Research and development is no longer a headquarters function. More and more companies internationalize their R&D activities. The pros and cons of this approach are discussed in this book. The organizational alternatives for international R&D as well as the consequences that they have for decision making and performing R&D are also of great interest. Furthermore, measuring success of international R&D is a very difficult problem that is not yet fully understood. However, suggestions are made to improve present day practise. They are based on a large body of empirical research and management literature.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 164 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Mit 78 Jahren bekannte Goethe: 'Die Naturwissenschaft, besonders die Chemie, ist so lebendig, daß man auf die angenehmste Weise wieder jung wird.'Daß Goethes Beschäftigung mit der Chemie sich nicht auf alchimistische Salonexperimente beschränkte, belegt diese ungewöhnliche Biographie zum Goethe-Jahr 1999.Georg Schwedt folgt den Spuren des Chemikers Goethe in dessen Werken, Briefen, Tagebüchern und naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften. Das erstaunliche Ergebnis: Goethe war auch in der Chemie seiner Zeit weit voraus. Er förderte nicht nur die Entwicklung der Chemie als eigenständige Wissenschaft. Er experimentierte auch selbst, und die Aktualität seiner Ansätze ist durch moderne Untersuchungen bestätigt.Goethe und die Chemie: eine wahrhaft spannende Verbindung. Georg Schwedt beschreibt sie ausgesprochen interessant und unterhaltsam.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Landschaftsplanung hat sich seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts im Spannungsfeld der sehr unterschiedlichen Einflüsse von Naturschutz, Gartenarchitektur und räumlicher Planung entwickelt. Zwar haben sich die Inhalte und Aufgaben der Landschaftsplanung heute im Planungs-, Bau-, UVP- und vor allem im Naturschutzrecht niedergeschlagen, doch immer wieder lebt die Diskussion darüber auf, welche Bedeutung innerhalb der Landschaftsplanung dem Naturschutz, der Raumplanung oder der Landschaftsarchitektur zukommt. Das vorliegende Buch stellt den Entwicklungsverlauf der Disziplin synoptisch dar, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk darauf gerichtet wird, der Vielfalt ihrer Ursprungsdisziplinen gerecht zu werden.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 268 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Das gemeinsame Merkmal der Somatoformen Störungen sind körperliche Beschwerden ohne hinreichende organische Ursache. Die Patienten suchen häufig viele Ärzte auf, da sie einen hohen Leidensdruck empfinden und die Diagnose unklar bleibt. Die Organmedizin ist aufgrund fehlender pathologischer Befunde weitgehend hilflos. Nach mehreren ergebnislosen Behandlungsversuchen mündet die Patientenkarriere häufig in Erwerbsunfähigkeit, womit enorme Folgekosten verbunden sind. Trotz der unbestrittenen gesundheitspolitischen Bedeutung sind grundlegende Fragen der Störungskonzeption weitgehend ungeklärt. Zielsetzung des vorliegenden Buchs ist es, die verschiedenen Konzeptionen zusammenzuführen und deren Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten sowie Implikationen für psychotherapeutisches und ärztliches Handeln aufzuzeigen.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 240 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die mobile Funkkommunikation ist einer der Wachstumsmärkte unserer Zeit. Für die Planung zellularer Mobilfunknetze werden dabei verläßtliche Werkzeuge benötigt, deren Benutzung und Weiterentwicklung nur bei Kenntnis aller Grundlagen und der verwendeten Lösungsverfahren erfolgreich sein kann. Der vorliegende Text versucht, diese grundlegenden Kenntnisse für einige der wesentlichen Teilaufgaben in der Funknetzplanung zu vermitteln. In der Vielzahl ausgezeichneter Bücher zu den primär nachrichtentechnischen Aspekten des Mobilfunks wird der Beschreibung und Analyse des Funkkanals zwischen den Antennentoren ein vergleichsweise geringer Rahmen beigemessen. Ziel des vorliegenden Buches ist es, diese Lücke zu füllen. Da sich die Charakterisierung des Funkkanals für verschiedene Funksysteme nicht oder nur wenig unterscheidet, lassen sich die meisten der erörterten Grundlagen und Verfahren auch auf andere Funksysteme, wie z.B. Rundfunk oder Richtfunk, anwenden.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 332 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Computers and their interactions are becoming the characteristic features of our time: Many people believe that the industrial age is going over into the information age. In the same way as life of the beginning of this century was dominated by machines, factories, streets and railways, the starting century will be characterised by computers and their networks. This change naturally affects also the institutions and the installations our lives depend upon: power plants, including nuclear ones, chemical plants, mechanically working factories, cars, railways and medical equipment; they all depend on computers and their connections. In some cases it is not human life that may be endangered by computer failure, but large investments; e. g. if a whole plant interrupts its production for a long time. In addition to loss of life and property one must not neglect public opinion, which is very critical in many countries against major technical defects. The related computer technology, its hardware, software and production process differ between standard applications and safety related ones: In the safety case it is normally not only the manufacturers and the customers that are involved, but a third party, usually an assessor, who is taking care of the public interest on behalf of a state authority. Usually safety engineers are in a better position than their colleagues from the conventional side, as they may spend more time and money on a particular task and use better equipment. 420 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When in October 1996 in Cholula (Puebla, Mexico), I took charge of organizing the scienti c program of the next Ibero-American Congress on Arti cial Intel- gence (IBERAMIA 98) I bet on a couple of ideas. First, I adopted the spirit of the Portuguese adventurers to get the Sixth Congress on a truly international track. In order to attain this aim I needed to convince everybody that the Ibero- American AI community had improved over the years and attained a very good level in what concerns individuals. Second, I brought my colleagues beside me so that we were able to collect su cient excellent papers without destroying the pioneering spirit of those who rst inaugurated the Congress. Getting together to nd out what is in progress in the vast region in which Latin languages (P- tuguese and Spanish) are spoken, attracting others to exchange ideas with us, and by doing this advancing AI in general, is a risky untertaking. This book is the result, and it sets a new standard to be discussed by all of us. IBERAMIA was established in 1988 (Barcelona) by three Ibero-American AI Associations (AEPIA from Spain, SMIA from Mexico, and APPIA from Por- gal), after a rst meeting in Morelia (Mexico) in 1986 of SMIA and AEPIA. 444 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. Carbonate platforms react sensitively to sea-level fluctuations. Therefore, sediments deposited on the slope during lowstands differ in composition from highstand deposits. A second focus is the early diagenetic alteration and cementation of these sediments with their high diagenetic potential. This book contributes to and discusses new developments in carbonate sedimentology such as the concepts of highstand shedding and early burial diagenesis, which also have an impact on reservoir studies. 216 pp. Englisch.
