Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume consists of fourteen chapters selected from papers presented at the conference `Ethics, Medicine and Health Care: An Appraisal of the Thought of H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.' along with a response to those chapters by Engelhardt and a Foreword by Laurence B. McCullough. The chapters direct primary attention to various aspects of Engelhardt's philosophy of medicine and bioethics as presented in The Foundations of Bioethics and Bioethics and Secular Humanism: The Search for a Common Morality. Among the topics treated are the economics of health care and the medical profession, the libertarian and communitarian aspects of Engelhardt's thought, the moral status of children, abortion, the moral foundations for a health care system, feminism and clinical epistemology, and the relation between secular and religious moralities. In response to the various challenges posed by the authors, Engelhardt considers the implications of the failure of the modern philosophical project, the role of reason in ethics, and the resolution of conflict among communities that do not share the same moral vision. The book will be of interest to professionals in medicine, philosophy, theology, health policy, and law, and to graduate students in those disciplines.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the main goals of optimal control theory is to provide a theoretical basis for choosing an appropriate controller for whatever system is under consideration by the researcher or engineer. Two popular norms that have proved useful are known as H-2 and H - infinity control. The first has been particularly applicable to problems arising in the aerospace industry. However, most industrial problems are badly modeled and the second norm proved to be more appropriate when the actual conditions of the problem did not conform to the stipulated conditions of the theory. This book takes the topic of H-infinity control as a point of departure and pursues an improved controller design which has been suggested in the mainstream of robust control. Its main theme, minimum entropy control, provides a means of trading off some of the features of other control problems. The book is aimed at research workers in networking systems as well as those in operator theory and linear multivariable control. The use of stochastic methods makes the book also of importance to the circuits and systems community. CONTENTS: Preface - Introduction - Preliminaries - Induced Operator Norms - Discrete-Time Entropy - Connections With Related Optimal Control Problems - Minimum Entropy Control - Continuous-Time Entropy - A.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - FRANCIS W. HOLM 7102 Meadow Lane, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) sponsored an Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) in Prague, Czech Republic, on 1-2 July 1996, to collect and study information on mobile alternative and supplemental demilitarization technologies and to report these fmdings. The mobile, or transportable, technologies identified for assessment at the workshop are alternatives to incineration technology for destruction of munitions, chemical warfare agent, and associated materials and debris. Although the discussion focused on the treatment of metal parts and explosive or energetic material, requirements for decontamination of other materials were discussed. The mobile alternative technologies are grouped into three categories based on process bulk operating temperature: low (0-200 C), medium (200-600 C), and high (600- 3,500 C). Reaction types considered include hydrolysis, biodegradation, electrochemical oxidation, gas-phase high-temperature reduction, stearn reforming, gasification, sulfur reactions, solvated electron chemistry, sodium reactions, supercritical water oxidation, wet air oxidation, and plasma torch technology. These categories represent a broad spectrum of processes, some of which have been studied only in the laboratory and some of which are in commercial use for destruction of hazardous and toxic wastes. Some technologies have been developed and used for specific commercial applications; however, in all cases, research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT &E) is necessary to assure that each technology application is effective for destroying chemical warfare materiel.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Mechanics is one ofthe branches ofphysics in which the number ofprinciples is at once very few and very rich in useful consequences. On the other hand, there are few sciences which have required so much thought-the conquest of a few axioms has taken more than 2000 years. '-Rene Dugas, A History 0/ Mechanics Introductory courses in engineering mechanics (statics and dynamics) are generally found very early in engineering curricula. As such, they should provide the student with a thorough background in the basic fundamentals that form the foundation for subsequent work in engi neering analysis and design. Consequently, our primary goal in writing Statics for Engineers and Dynamics for Engineers has been to develop the fundamental principles of engineering mechanics in a manner that the student can readily comprehend. With this comprehension, the student thus acquires the tools that would enable him/her to think through the solution ofmany types ofengineering problems using logic and sound judgment based upon fundamental principles. Approach We have made every effort to present the material in a concise but clear manner. Each subject is presented in one or more sections fol lowed by one or more examples, the solutions for which are presented in a detailed fashion with frequent reference to the basic underlying principles. A set of problems is provided for use in homework assign ments.…

Softcover. Condizione: gut. Auflage: 1 (30. Mai 1997). Computeralgebra Differentialrechnung Fourier-Analysis Ingenieurmathematik Integralrechnung Maple Mathematik Lehrbuch Ingenieure Techniker Vektoranalyse Dieses zweibändige Lehrwerk deckt den üblichen Mathematikstoff für sämtliche Ingenieurstudiengänge an Fachhochschulen ab. Der Lehrstoff wird erarbeitet, indem Werkzeuge der Computeralgebra mit durchgerechneten Anwendungsbeispielen aus der Technik kombiniert werden. Abstrakte mathematische Begriffe werden anschaulich erklärt, auf Beweise wird größtenteils verzichtet. Für die numerische Bearbeitung vieler Problemstellungen dienen die angegebenen Algorithmen. Auf der beiliegenden CD-ROM befinden sich neben Animationen auch die im Buch abgedruckten MAPLE-Worksheets, mit denen der Stoff direkt beim Lernen aus dem Buch interaktiv eingeübt werden kann. Neben dem Gebrauch zur Vorlesung sind die Bände also auch hervorragend für das Selbststudium geeignet. Der zweite Band umfaßt die Themengebiete "Differential- und Integralrechnung für Funktionen mehrerer Varibaler", "Gewöhnliche und partielle Differentialgleichungen" und "Fourier-Analysis". Über den AutorThomas Westermann studierte an der Universität Konstanz Mathematik und Physik mit Diplomabschluss 1985 in Mathematik. Er promovierte 1988 im Bereich der Computerphysik und war anschließend wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe mit den Arbeitsschwerpunkten Modellierung und Simulation. Seit 1993 ist er Professor für Angewandte Mathematik und Computersimulation an der HS Karlsruhe. Für sein didaktisches Konzept wurde der Autor mit dem Preis der G.A. Müller-Stiftung zur Förderung der Qualität der Lehre ausgezeichnet. 2008 wurde ihm der Lehrpreis des Landes Baden-Württemberg auch für seine didaktisch hervorragenden Lehrbücher verliehen. und das nicht nur für FH-Studenten. Ein Werk, dass sich sowohl zum Lernen, als auch zum Nachschlagen hervorragend eignet. Das Buch ist durchgehend gut gegliedert und vor allem ist es verständlich geschrieben, was ich bei vielen anderen Mathebüchern vermisse. Westermann erschlägt nicht mit Seitenlangen Rechnungen, bei denen man nach der dritte Zeile schon nicht mehr weiß, was eigentlich in der ersten stand. Ein gelungenes Lehrbuch, mit dem sogar Mathe Spaß macht! Dieses Buch ist ein äußerst empfehlenswerter Leitfaden für die Mathematik im Grundstudium und eignet sich auch hervorragend als Nachschlagewerk.Was dieses Werk wohl am meisten von den Standard- Mathematikwerken unterscheidet ist der starke Bezug zu verschiedensten Anwendungsbereichen. Westermann gelingt es mit diesem Buch die Mathematik dem Studenten nahezubringen, indem er auf praxisorientierte Beispiele zurückgreift. Die Anwendungsbeispiele sind sehr hilfreich für das Verständnis, da die "abstrakte Rechnerei" zum Werkzeug wird, um reale Probleme zu lösen. Der Aufbau ist sehr gut strukturiert. Themengebiete beginnen mit den oben genannten Anwendungsbeispielen. Die einzelnen Schritte werden ersichtlich dargelegt und mit Beispielen vertieft. Zusätzlich verdeutlichen Graphiken den Sachverhalt. Ein weiterer Bonuspunkt ist, dass es zu allen Themen auch eine Anleitung gibt, die jeweiligen Verfahren mit Maple zu konstruieren. Bevor das nächste Thema angeschnitten wird, erhält man eine Zusammenstellung der Maple-Befehle und das Ganze schließt mit einem Aufgabenteil (Aufgaben zum Rechnen und für Maple) ab, um das gewonnene Wissen zu untermauern. Lösungen sind im Buch dabei, was in vielen anderen Werken leider allzu oft fehlt. Für Maple Anwendungen ist das Verzeichnis von Maple-Befehlen im Buchende sehr hilfreich. Alles in allem kann ich jedem dieses Buch sehr empfehlen. In deutscher Sprache. 564 pages. 23,6 x 15,7 x 3,4 cm.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although chaotic behaviour had often been observed numerically earlier, the first mathematical proof of the existence, with positive probability (persistence) of strange attractors was given by Benedicks and Carleson for the Henon family, at the beginning of 1990's. Later, Mora and Viana demonstrated that a strange attractor is also persistent in generic one-parameter families of diffeomorphims on a surface which unfolds homoclinic tangency. This book is about the persistence of any number of strange attractors in saddle-focus connections. The coexistence and persistence of any number of strange attractors in a simple three-dimensional scenario are proved, as well as the fact that infinitely many of them exist simultaneously. 212 pp. Englisch.…
