Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Quantum effects may be modelled by means of stochastic perturbation of non-linear partial differential (field) equations. Contributions to this field of research are collected in this volume. Finite dimensional stochastically perturbed Hamiltonian systems and infinite dimensional white noise analysis are treated. The main part concerns problems encountered in deterministic equations. Papers treat the existence of solutions for given initial data, the existence of non-linear bound states or solitary waves including a thorough discussion of various approaches to stability, and global properties (e.g. time decay properties) for non-linear wave equations. This volume provides a good survey of present-day research in non-linear problems of quantum theory for researchers and graduate students.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dynamic complexity results from hidden, unknown factors-or more precisely, interactions between factors-that can unexpectedly impact the performance of systems. When the influences of dynamic complexity are not measured and understood, new never-seen-before behaviors can come as unwelcomed surprises, which disrupt the performance of systems. Left alone, processes that were once prized for their efficiency unexpectedly begin to degrade-costs increase, while volumes and quality decline. Evidence of problems may come too late for effective resolution as technology advancements induce rapid change and compress the time available to react to that change. The results of dynamic complexity are always negative and unmanaged dynamic complexity can bring business or global systems to the point of sudden chaos. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 2008 Credit Crunch and 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are global examples of the dangers of undiagnosed dynamic complexity.With increasing frequency executive leaders today are discovering that their business and IT system performance levels are not meeting expectations. In most cases these performance deficiencies are caused by dynamic complexity, which lies hidden like a cancer until the symptoms reveal themselves-often when it is too late to avoid negative impacts on business outcomes. This book examines the growing business problem of dynamic complexity and presents a path to a practical solution. To achieve better predictability, organizations must be able to expose new, dangerous patterns of behavior in time to take corrective actions and know which actions will yield the optimal results. The book authors promote new methods of risk management that use data collection, analytics, machine learning and automation processes to help organizations more accurately predict the future and take strategic actions to improve performance outcomes. The presented means of achieving this goal are based upon the authors' practical experiences, backed by scientific principles, and results achieved through consulting engagements with over 350 global organizations. 308 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Am Anfang aller Strafgesetze stehen Systeme der Strafe. Diese schwerste aller Unrechtsfolgen stuft sich von der Todesstrafe bis zur Geldstrafe abo Wenn vor 21 Jahren in Deutschland MaBregeln der Sicherung und 'Besserung' eingefiihrt wurden, so liegt in der fiber schrift eine Irrefiihrung. Die Bestimmungen kamen mit dem Gewohn heitsverbrechergesetz von 1933, und neben der Sicherung kann nur gelegentlich von Heilung die Rede sein. Die wichtigste der MaBnahmen, die Sicherungsverwahrung, hat nach steilem Anstieg unter der Diktatur einen Tiefstand erreicht, der keine groBe Vitalitat verrat. Sie wird nach der Strafe vollstreckt und hier nicht crortert. Unter den modernell Strafarten, die besprochen werden, liegt das Schwergewicht auf der Freiheitsstrafe. Sie ist und bleibt das wichtigste Instrument, mit dem wir die Gesellschaft verteidigen. Ich habe versucht, reich von der deskriptiven Methode Pds. rei zu machen, der ich noch in der Ausgabe von 1932 anhing. Mit allen Kraften war ich bemiiht, in die psychologischen und soziologischen Hintergriinde der Gefangenschaft einzudringen. Wenig lag mir daran, die Vorschriften wiederzugeben, die den Vollzug regel~ sollen. Das Gesetz ist nur die Oberflache, und unter ihr geht das Leben in seltsamen verzerrten Gestalten weiter. Ich habe beide feindlichen Lager reden lassen, die Wachter und jene, die bewacht werden. In Anklage und Abwehr muB ihr Urteil sich widersprechen. 424 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -These notes offer a comprehensive discussion of the experimental and theoretical work done so far on the F' centers in alkali halides. Here the F' center is a two-electron single-anion-vacancy entity with no other anion vacancies in its immediate neighbourhood. This definition allows for the inclusion of pair interactions between color center species which occupy a central position in the book. Quantities that control or characterize F'-related physics, such as the F-F' conversion efficiency at low temperatures or high excitation levels, the F' thermal lifetime, the F' bandshape, are given a due space. A number of experimental situations related to F' centers are also discussed. Finally, a recently revived attempt to deal with the F-F'conversion in terms of the electron transfer via (bound) polarons, a work still in progress, is described. These notes are expected to stimulate further experimental and theoretical investigations on the F' centers. 300 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Quantum mechanics dates its anniversaries from 1925, the year when its first versions, matrix and wave mechanics, were born. The quan tum itself had by that time reached the age of 25, having first seen the light of day on the eve of the nativity of the 20th century itself. Either shunned or completely unnoticed, the quantum seemed for a long time to be an illegitimate child. Even Max Planck himself, its own father, could not bring himself to accept his monstrous child until he was forced to do so -that is, until it became clear that the problems which were arising in physics could not be solved without the quantum. At first the quantum 'like a greasy stain, soaked through all the different branches of physics' and then, like an explosion, came the creation of quantum mechanics. The overwhelming majority of those who first created quantum mechanics were just about of an age with the quantum itself. These were very young people, born as the new century was born, give or take a year or so. Hence the phrase was coined - 'the quantum generation'. At that time there was quantum everything - towns, steps, park benches, lodging houses and so, natu rally, the quantum generation. 352 pp. Englisch.…
