Vascular Complications in Human Disease

PNF in Practice

Breast Cytopathology

Mechanisms and Consequences

An Illustrated Guide

Arterial disease and inflammation are fundamental causes of many medical conditions. Recently, there have been several major advances in our understanding of the causes of diseases affecting the heart, lungs, kidneys, skin and blood vessels. The role of endothelium derived growth factors, nitric oxide and other messengers in vascular disease has been more clearly defined. New treatments targeting these molecular disorders are being used with beneficial effects. Further progress depends on a combined approach embracing basic and clinical research so that treatments of common, important diseases can be designed intelligently and logically. “Vascular Complications in Human Disease” presents our understanding of vascular disease, in reviews of the main strands of basic and clinical research written by leading international experts. It also identifies routes for further fruitful research and development.

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an approach to therapeutic exercise which therapists all over the world have found effective for treating patients with a wide range of diagnoses. The approach presented in this richly illustrated guide is based on the concepts set out by Dr. Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret Knott. The fully revised third edition demonstrates how the principles of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and aspects of motor learning and motor control (from “hands-on” to “hands-off ” management) are applied in modern PNF evaluation and treatment. The section on Activities of Daily Living has been expanded with new photos and more in-depth text instructions. A new fresh design and layout highlight the clearly structured way in which philosophy, basic procedures and treatment patterns of PNF are presented.

Stroke Prevention in Clinical Practice

Sepsis

Stroke is a brain attack and a major cause of disability and the third biggest killer. Active intervention can prevent stroke especially in high risk groups. Patients who have transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) are at an increased risk of stroke and should be targeted. Primary care physicians are the first to diagnose the TIA, and are therefore vital in helping reach these people; they are the doctors who can undertake a considerable amount of stroke prevention treatment. Stroke Prevention in Clinical Practice fills the need for a short clear text to explain how to accurately diagnosis a TIA, determine what investigations are indicated and how and when to intervene to reduce the risk of stroke. Short chapters written in point form with clear diagrams and figures, each chapter written by an expert in the field.

Sepsis is a serious medical condition, resulting from the immune response to a severe infection. Septicaemia is sepsis of the bloodstream caused by bactemeria, which is the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. The term septecaemia is also used to refer to sepsis in general. In the US, sepsis is the leading cause of death in non-coronary ICU patients, and the tenth most common form of death overall. Sepsis is common and also more dangerous in the elderly, immunocompromised, and critically ill patients. It occurs in 1-2% of all hospitilizations and accounts for as much as 25% of all ICU bed utilization. It is a major cause of death in intensive care units worldwide, with mortality rates that range from 20% for sepsis to 40% for severe sepsis to more than 60% for septic shock. The book brings together a group of experts to consider how the various pathways implicated in early and late sepsis interact.

Giving Death a Helping Hand Physician-assisted suicide and public policy. An international perspective.

From the perspective of patients, physicianassisted suicide is a more unambiguous expression of the patient‘s autonomous will. From the legislator‘s perspective it seems less liable to misuse and abuse. And often the availability of assisted suicide, instead of shortening the life of a patient, has proved to prolong it. Public policy has begun to respond to this prospect. Notably in Switzerland and Germany, the attitudes of public bodies towards physician-assisted suicide are in a process of change, partly motivated by the wish to take the edge off the pressure for legalisation of active euthanasia. The present volume focuses on public policy issues related to physician-assisted suicide. It offers a detailed analysis of the current legal standing and practice of physician-assisted suicide in various countries and discusses the ethical principles underlying its legal and professional regulation. In addition, it contains a number of personal narratives by professionals who have for many years been involved in end-of-life issues.

Features 7 Up-to-date overview of legislation on physician-assisted suicide all over the world 7 Critical appraisals of the views taken by professional codes toward physician-assisted suicide 7 Practice reports of some of the leading figures in the practice of physician-assisted suicide in Switzerland and in the Netherlands

CT of the Airways This book begins with four introductory chapters devoted to airway physiology, anatomy, and anatomical and functional CT imaging methods. These chapters are followed by four chapters devoted to large airways disorders in adults, including airway stenoses, neoplasms, malacia and bronchiectasis. The next section is comprised of 5 chapters devoted to small airways disorders in adults, including asthma, infectious and noninfectious small airways disorders, obliterative bronchiolitis, and smoking-related airway diseases. The final two chapters are devoted to pediatric large and small airway disorders. This textbook is a collaborative project that has greatly benefited from the contributions of many expert authors from around the globe. The intended audience for this book is primarily radiologists and pulmonologists, but the content will likely also be of interest to thoracic surgeons, pulmonary pathologists, and other physicians who are involved in the care of patients with airway diseases.

Anestetici locali in analgesia ostetrica. Il modello MLAC: dalla teoria alla pratica clinica

Drawing on years of significant scientific advances and clinical developments, the editors of POMO III have thoroughly updated the highly praised first and second editions and added new chapters to reflect the knowledge emerging from research on genomics, proteomics, chemoprevention strategies, new molecular targets, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and innovative cytotoxic and cytostatic small molecular-weight molecules. The first edition of this book (Humana Press, 2000) was also the first comprehensive presentation of the concept of cancer as a “disease process” involving key regulatory pathways. The second edition (2004) reaffirmed this dynamic concept, incorporating more recent evidence, and introducing such new topics of special interest as the combination of molecular diagnostics-expression profiling of genes and proteins-with developmental therapeutics, and the “binary state” concept (active/inactive) that seeks more relevant targets within the global molecular matrix of a given cancer.

Optic Nerve Disorders Diagnosis and Management

La pneumologia si è sempre distinta dalle altre specialità mediche per il suo importante e ricco patrimonio di metodiche strumentali diagnostiche e terapeutiche, che trovano le loro radici nella tisiologia. La ricerca scientifica e le novità tecnologiche degli ultimi 30-40 anni hanno fornito allo pneumologo strumenti sempre più perfezionati, che hanno contribuito ad ampliarne le conoscenze, le competenze e le potenzialità diagnostiche e terapeutiche. Il termine di „pneumologia interventistica“, adottato dalle società scientifiche internazionali e nazionali (ACCP, ATS, ERS, AIPO, SIMER), comprende le metodiche tradizionali dell’endoscopia bronchiale diagnostica e terapeutica nell’adulto e nel bambino e della toracoscopia medica, ma anche la tecnica dell’agoaspirato transparietale, il posizionamento e la gestione del drenaggio toracico e le più recenti TBNA, EBUS, autofluorescenza, e altre che costituiscono una parte indispensabile del bagaglio culturale dello pneumologo.

The optic nerve and the brain comprise the main anatomic components of neuro-ophthalmology. Although there are numerous handbooks and major texts describing all the common disorders of neuro-ophthalmology, Optic Nerve Disorders is the only practical reference book focusing only on common optic nerve disorders. The author discusses diagnosis, pathophysiology, management, and prognosis of complex optic nerve disorders. Optic Nerve Disorders is organized by optic nerve diagnoses commonly encountered in a neuro-ophthalmologic practice. It is written in a clear, concise style for quick, easy reference in the clinic. Each chapter is formatted in a similar manner and thoroughly discusses epidemiology, diagnosis (by clinical signs and symptoms and by electrophysiologic, ocular and neuroimaging techniques), pathophysiology, management (by both conventional treatments and experimental/newer medications under consideration) and prognosis.

Principles of Stereotactic Surgery Principles of Stereotactic Radiosurgery is the only contemporary, comprehensive reference for neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists using Gamma Knife and Linear Accelerator technology. Each chapter includes specific case presentations representative of the most commonly treated conditions, including applications for spinal disorders. Chapters conclude with counterpoint experiences, oriented to treatment options other than radiosurgery (i.e., medical management, standard surgery). These counterpoint discussions are written by noted experts and address in greater detail the indications, results and complications of their approach and enable reader to improve decision making with regard to choosing treatment options for their own patients. Also included is information on important non-surgical aspects of radiosurgery, including site construction, regulatory and billng issues, legal concerns, and nursing care issues.

Osteoporosis in Older Persons Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Approach

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie (DGU) kann seit dem Jahr 2006 auf eine 100-jährige Geschichte zurückblicken. Dieses Jubiläum war Anlass, das vorliegende Buch zu schreiben. Die Autoren sind Urologen, die einerseits die Faszination für Ihr Fachgebiet beschreiben, auf der anderen Seite aber auch versuchen, die notwendige kritische Distanz zu wahren. Der Bogen spannt sich von den Anfangsjahren der DGU über die Entstehung und Weiterentwicklung diagnostischer und therapeutischer Verfahren bis hin zur Reflektion über die Kommunikation zwischen Arzt und Urologen. Ein reichhaltiges Bildmaterial rundet diese historische Darstellung ab.

The book summarizes recent advances in the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in senile osteoporosis as well as its potential treatment, bringing an integrated approach from the bench to the clinical practice. A unique aspect of this book is its emphasis on the application of translational research in the field of osteoporosis and falls which make it useful not only to biologists but also to clinicians and epidemiologists. The chapters are complemented with color figures showing the basics of bone biology, bone phenotypes and falls prevention interventions and also include tables and flowcharts. Written by investigators (clinicians and basic scientists) in the field of aging bone research, this is a reference guide to geriatricians, gerontologists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists and bone biologists, medical trainees as well as other health professionals (pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc).

Features 7 Describes the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures and their impact on health care costs 7 Integrates the subject of falls with the one on fractures - widely neglected by most of the textbooks on osteoporosis 7 A complete review on the prevention as well as current and future treatments of osteoporosis

Gesundheitsökonomik

Clinical Guide to Bioweapons and Chemical Agents

Eine Einführung in das wirtschaftliche Denken für Mediziner

Das rationale, die Verschwendung vermeidende Handeln war schon immer eine Selbstverständlichkeit für Ärzte, Pflegekräfte und andere Mitarbeiter des Gesundheitswesens. Die Notwendigkeit einer expliziten Ausbildung in Ökonomik wurde diesen Berufsgruppen jedoch erst in den letzten Jahren durch die gesetzlich verordneten Sparmaßnahmen bewusst. Das Buch vermittelt als eine „Ökonomie für Nichtökonomen“ die Grundlagen der Wirtschaftswissenschaft, so weit sie für das Grundverständnis der Prozesse und Strukturen des Gesundheitswesens notwendig sind. Es soll eine Art Ablagesystem entstehen, in das der Leser eigene Vorkenntnisse und zukünftige Erfahrungen an der richtigen Stelle einhängen kann. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Gesundheitsökonomik durch effizientes Wirtschaften Freiräume für verantwortliches, professionelles Handeln schaffen möchte. Die Gesundheitsökonomik wird damit zu einem hilfreichen Instrument für den Arzt, die Pflegekraft oder andere Mitarbeiter im Gesundheitswesen.

La scuola dell‘atopia

springer.de/buchhandel

C. Gelmetti, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italia

Il fuoco di Sant‘Antonio Storia, tradizione e medicina

L’esigenza di chiarire i concetti attuali dell’atopia, che per troppo tempo hanno oscillato tra una primitiva visione squisitamente clinica ed una successiva unicamente immunologica, era matura da tempo. L’avere compreso che il ruolo delle immunoglobuline E non è esaustivo ed avere accettato la salomonica divisione tra atopia intrinseca ed estrinseca, sono stati i primi due passi fondamentali. Le recenti scoperte del ruolo dell’immunità innata, e quindi dei peptidi antimicrobici, hanno aperto dei fondamentali spazi di comprensione nell’atopia e non solo. Quello che ora appare chiaro è che l’atopia non è la malattia di un organo ma piuttosto un difetto delle membrane che delimitano il nostro „self “. Il fatto che queste membrane si chiamino pelle, intestino, congiuntiva, bronchi o quant’altro ha artificialmente frammentato la comprensione ed il trattamento di un fenomeno unitario.

Il libro descrive la storia di Sant‘Antonio Abate, il grande taumaturgo ed il fondatore del monachesimo cristiano. Molto prima che ciò fosse una pratica comune tra i fedeli, egli praticò l’ascetismo nel deserto ad imitazione di Cristo e le sue tentazioni demoniache descritte nella biografia scritta da Sant’Atanasio hanno costituito il tema favorito di molti pittori ed ispirato „La Tentation de Saint Antoine“ di Gustave Flaubert. Padrone del fuoco e protettore degli animali, viene spesso raffigurato con accanto una fiamma ed un maialino, ragione per cui è anche chiamato „Sant’Antonio del porcello“. Egli era il santo prediletto dai contadini ed inoltre patrono dei cestai, dei porcai, dei ceramisti e di molte altre professioni, ma era famoso soprattutto per le sue capacità curative sì da divenire il santo taumaturgo per eccellenza.

L. Grepmair, Inntalklinik Simbach; M. Nickel, Klinik Bad Aussee

Achtsamkeit des Psychotherapeuten Das Herz der Psychotherapie

Paralleling emerging trends in cyber-health technology, concerns are mounting about racial, ethnic, disparities in health care utilization and outcomes. eHealth Solutions for Health Care Disparities brings these currents together, challenging readers to use, promote, and develop new technology-based methods for closing these gaps. Edited by a leading urban health advocate and featuring 16 expert contributors, the book examines cyber-strategies with the greatest potential toward effective, equitable care, improved service delivery and better health outcomes for all. Chapters go well beyond the possibilities of the Electronic Medical Record to discuss emerging roles for information technology in promoting healthful behavior changes (e.g., nutrition, weight loss, smoking cessation), disease prevention (e.g., cancer, HIV), and healthcare utilization, patient education and medicine compliance). The rise of e-Patients and the transformation of the doctorpatient relationship are also discussed.

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: From Basic Research to Clinical Practice is the first book that provides comprehensive coverage of the three most important themes in the field of EDC research: the basic biology of EDCs, particularly their effects on reproductive systems; EDC effects on humans and wildlife, including biomedical considerations; and potential interventions and practical advice for dealing with the problem of EDCs. This book presents a translational approach to EDC research, spanning both basic biology and clinical applications, and provides a critical link between the laboratory and the physicians’ office. Scientists and physicians engaged in EDC studies or practice will find that this volume offers insight across all areas of EDC research, including clarifying the mechanisms for EDC effects, understanding the adverse affects of EDCs on humans and wildlife, and offering solutions to the problems created by exposures to EDCs.

Features Features 7 Gibbons is prominent figure in urban health and health disparities 7 Discusses digital disparities 7 Contributors are seminal thinkers in the field

From the contents Section 1.- An Overview of Healthcare Disparities.- Provider factors in Healthcare disparities.Patient Factors in Healthcare Disparities.- Healthcare system factors in Healthcare Disparities.- The Social “nonmedical” Determinants of Health.Section 2.- The Role of the Internet in American Life.- The iHealth Revolution.- Digital Disparities.- Section.

7 Strong evidence for effects of EDCs, including low-level exposures, on humans and wildlife 7 Comprehensive coverage of mechanisms by which EDCs perturb endocrine systems in exposed organisms as well as in their offspring 7 Advice to physicians on how to talk to their patients about EDCs in soy formula and other types of exposures

Unter Achtsamkeit wird eine besondere Form der Aufmerksamkeitslenkung verstanden. Achtsamskeitsbasierte Interventionen greifen auf alte kontemplative und meditative Verfahren zurück und fanden bereits Zugang in der psychotherapeutischen Praxis. Im allgemeinen Teil werden Basisinformationen zu Achtsamkeit, ZEN, Erlebniszuständen des Menschen sowie der psychotherapeutischen Arbeit in Verbindung mit dem Geisteszustand des Psychotherapeuten aufgezeigt. Erstmals zeigt dieses Buch die Auswirkungen der Achtsamkeit der Person des Psychotherapeuten auf bessere Behandlungsergebnisse bei den Patienten auf. Die Patienten von Psychotherapeuten, die an einem Zen Kurs teilnahmen, zeigten in einer Doppelblindstudie signifikant positive Effekte bei den Behandlungsergebnissen. Die Autoren stellen diese Studienergebnisse in einem größeren Zusammenhang und setzen sich mit der aktuell vorherrschenden wissenschaftlichen Psychotherapie kritisch auseinander, um das Modell einer ganzheitlichen Psychotherapie zu entwerfen.

Pluspunkte 7 Therapeuten und Patienten profitieren gemeinsam von der Praxis der Achtsamkeit 7 Neuer komplementärer Ansatz für Psychotherapeuten 7 Informatives Hintergrundwissen zu Mindfulness

Exercise-Induced Acute Renal Failure

Betreuung zu Hause erleben Graﬁkdesign von: P. F. Kupfer

Dieses Buch ist eine Anerkennung und ein kleines Dankeschön an alle Personen, die im Dienst für pflegebedürftige Menschen beschäftigt sind. Die Autorin ist seit zehn Jahren in diesem Bereich tätig und schildert in verschiedenen Geschichten den Alltag von Pflegepersonen in der Hauskrankenpflege. Sie versucht dabei klar zu machen, dass jeder einzelne von ihnen auch seine privaten Freuden und Sorgen hat. Dieser Dienst ist nicht leicht, manchmal erheiternd, ab und zu traurig, wird aber von allen Mitarbeitern mit Herz und Verantwortung wahrgenommen. Der Leser soll in lebendiger Weise, aufgelockert mit stimmungsvollen Fotos und Gedichten mit diesem, meist fremden Territorium vertraut gemacht werden. All jene, die in diesem Beruf ihre Berufung gefunden haben, werden sich in der einen oder anderen Anekdote wiederfinden.

Acute Renal Failure with Severe Loin Pain and Patchy Renal Ischemia after Anaerobic Exercise

Acute renal failure induced by rhabdomyolysis after strenuous, prolonged exercise such as marathon running or mountain climbing is a well-known medical phenomenon, but exercise-induced acute renal failure after short-term anaerobic exercise - for instance, short-distance track races - has been recognized only recently. This monograph provides in-depth information on exercise-induced acute renal failure after shortterm anaerobic exercise, which causes severe pain in the loin and patchy renal ischemia with no sign of rhabdomyolysis. Half of the patients suffering from this condition experience renal hypouricemia, for which approximately 20% are treated with dialysis.

I. Kawachi, S. Subramanian, D. Kim, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA (Eds.)

Social Capital and Health Social Capital and Health discusses social capital - a concept that originated in the social sciences - and its application to the field of public health. The editors take care to define the concept of social capital, describe its theoretical origins, and discuss the controversies and debates surrounding the use of the concept in public health research and practice. The book provides a comprehensive „tool kit“ of current approaches to measure social capital. Further, the book surveys the empirical evidence linking social capital to physical and mental health outcomes, health-related behaviors (like smoking), and aging-related outcomes.

Features 7 Kawachi is a well-known researcher and author in this field 7 Addressing social determinants of health which is a hot topic within Public Health 7 Growing demand for material on social capital, particularly in the applied fashion presented here

In Criminal Profiling, renowned profiler Richard Kocsis, PhD, presents a distinct approach to profiling, Crime Action Profiling or CAP. The volume explains the scope and methodology employed in the studies that the author has undertaken over the past decade and a half. CAP adopts the view that profiling essentially represents a psychological technique that has its foundations in the disciplinary knowledge of forensic psychology. The studies canvassed throughout this book represent the author’s original, empirically based work on the topic of criminal profiling. This volume brings the results of his work together for the first time to provide a comprehensive compendium of the research endeavors that characterize the CAP approach to the profiling of violent crimes.

Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician Since the publication of the first edition of Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician, the use of implantable cardiac devices has expanded rapidly. Certain classes of devices such as implantable loop recorders and cardiac resynchronization pacing systems were not commonly used when the first edition was published, and recent studies have shown that implantable cardioverter defibrillators are beneficial in large, previously unrecognized patient populations at risk for sudden death. In order to meet this demand, cardiologists without special training in electrophysiology or pacing are implanting an increasing number of cardiac devices. It is in this rapidly evolving setting that Cardiac Pacing for the Clinician, Second Edition is being undertaken.

Lymphedema

Promoting Health for Working The Aging Kidney in Health Women and Disease

Diagnosis and Treatment A comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to the area of lymphology, the book is directed mainly to the US audience and will appeal to an interdiscplinary field of health professionals. It describes the unique anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and the intimate relationship it shares with the venous system. It explores the differential diagnosis of the “swollen leg/arm”, which is often the presenting problem to the health care professional. The necessity of history taking, physical examination and laboratory studies are noted. Treatment methods are described as an introduction and psychosocial and quality of life issues are explored in depth.

Features 7 A comprehensive evidence-based introduction to the area of lymphology

This book is the result of an EU-funded project on planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion activities in the workplace, in order to address occupational risks and hazards that are specific to women, or that women are more likely to encounter. In 1999, women were 1.5 times as likely as men to suffer work-related health problems other than an accident in the EU. The book begins with methodology on health promotion in the workplace, followed by chapters on several health topics particularly important to women such as nutrition, physical exercise, musculoskeletal disorders, smoking, reproductive health, breast feeding, female cancers and genetic screening, mental health, alcohol abuse, sexual harassment, occupational and communicable diseases.

Basic Mechanisms and Cancer Therapy

Tumor angiogenesis is one of the most prominent mechanisms driving tumor development and progression. In the past 30 years some of the most important signaling pathways linking specific angiogenic activities of tumor cells to fatal reactions of the patient’s vascular system have been elucidated. Crucial targets for therapeutic intervention have been identified and validated. Based on these achievements targeted drug development programs have been implemented to interfere with tumor angiogenesis as an attractive strategy in cancer treatment. The first targeted anti-angiogenic drugs have been approved for a variety of solid metastasizing cancers. Part 1 describes the basic mechanisms. Tumorangiogenic signaling pathways are presented as new potential targets for anti-angiogenic therapy. Part 2 reviews the efforts made to validate new targets and to show efficacy in animals. Part 3 is devoted to the clinical development of the novel anti-angiogenic drugs and their use in clinical practice.

How to Improve the Results of Peripheral Nerve Surgery

R. Munker, E. Hiller, J. Glass, R. Paquette (Eds.)

R. Munoz, C. Schmitt, S. Roth, E. da Cruz (Eds.)

Modern Hematology

Handbook of Pediatric Cardiovascular Drugs

Biology and Clinical Management

All over the world research is going on to improve the outcome of the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions. Questions over questions arise. Is the autologeous nerve grafting still the golden standard in bridging defects? Have alternative techniques to overcome defects reached a level to replace autografting? To which length are they effective? What is the role of allografting? Are there still indications for vascularized nerve grafts? What can be expected from end to side coaptation? Does it exist at all? Under what conditions useful recoveries can be achieved? Are there new developments in physical medicine and physiotherapy? Can the quality of recovery be influenced by surgery on muscles to provide a better equilibrium of forces? To what extent cerebral plasticity may be exploited to improve functional results? The contributions in this book give answers to all of these questions.

Reinhold Munker and his distinguished colleagues have updated and expanded Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, now in its second edition, to reflect the major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of blood disorders. Modern Hematology: Biology and Clinical Management, Second Edition describes the latest clinical and scientific developments, including molecular studies used to diagnose a variety of hematological disorders and guide their treatment. Targeted and molecular therapies are discussed in detail, including kinase inhibitors in myeloproliferative disorders and humanized monoclonal antibodies. The use of peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood stem cells for transplantation is described, as well as the rationale and indications for non-myeloablative transplantation, emphasizing the preferability of immunotherapy over cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Infectious Diseases in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Many children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) are admitted with serious infections. If they do not have serious infections prior to admission, there is also a high chance of them acquiring nosocomial infection once admitted. Many syndromes may lead to serious infection and the need for high dependency or intensive care. In addition, the numbers of children who are severely immunocompromised and surviving for extended periods are increasing. Any delay in therapy may produce more severe infection in an immunocompetent patient. As the influence of genetic factors in infectious disease becomes evident and new therapies and new modes of therapy have been introduced, there is the need to draw together these topics into one text. Infectious Diseases in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit specifically examines infectious disease aspects of pediatric intensive care, from the reasons for admission, the risks of nosocomial infection, infection control, modes of therapy and outcomes.

Features 7 First book to cover the exceptional demands placed on pediatric intensive care medicine by infections and infectious disease 7 Highly illustrated practical textbook on the management of infectious diseases in critically ill infants, children and adolescents

From the contents The Immunology of Neonates and Children and its Relation to Susceptibility to Infection.- Infections in the Critically Ill Neonate.- Fungal Infection in Critically Ill Children.- Toxin Mediated Diseases - Toxic Shock Syndrome.- Vaccines for the Prevention of Admission to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.- Pathophysiology of Pediatric Sepsis.- The Epidemiology of Severe Infections in Children.Novel Challenges in Infection in the PICU Setting.

Duvernoy‘s Atlas of the Human Brain Stem and Cerebellum High-Field MRI, Surface Anatomy, Internal Structure, Vascularization and 3 D Sectional Anatomy Advanced MRI requires advanced knowledge of anatomy. This volume correlates thin-section brain anatomy with corresponding clinical 3 T MR images in axial, coronal and sagittal planes to demonstrate the anatomic bases for advanced MR imaging,. It specifically correlates advanced neuromelanin imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and diffusion tensor tractography with clinical 3 and 4 T MRI to illustrate the precise nuclear and fiber tract anatomy imaged by these techniques. Each region of the brain stem is then analyzed with 9.4 T MRI to show the anatomy of the medulla, pons, midbrain, and portions of the diencephalonin with an in-plane resolution comparable to myelin- and Nissl-stained light microscopy (40-60 microns). The volume is carefully organized as a teaching text, using concise drawings and beautiful anatomic/ MRI images to present the information in sequentially finer detail, so the reader easily assimilates the relationships among the structures shown by high-field MRI.

Health Technology Assessments by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence A Qualitative Study

First in a new series on economic issues in the context of health care policy, Health Technology Assessments by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence examines Britain’s highly acclaimed approach to cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), and its international potential. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has been regarded as a role model for the implementation of CEA, and is being closely watched by health care policy makers throughout Europe, and in the United States. This volume dissects the robustness of the agency’s technology appraisal processes as NICE evaluates innovative methods for diagnosis and intervention. Given the unique features of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - starting with it being diagnosed mainly in children and adolescents, its high comorbidity with other psychiatric conditions, and its considerable economic impact the disorder is a perfect focal point for discussion.

Inﬂammatory Arthritis in Clinical Practice

Diastolic Heart Failure

There has been a revolution in treatments for inflammatory arthritis. Mostly, this is due to the introduction of biologics, particularly TNF inhibitors. These have changed approach to treatment in two ways. First, they appear substantially more effective than conventional drugs. Second, they are far more expensive than traditional treatment approaches. One consequence of this therapeutic revolution is a need to better understand arthritis and to place the new biological treatments into the context of existing management approaches.

This book will provide the clinician with essential insights into the epidemiology and aetiology of diastolic heart failure, and enable them to understand how the condition can be diagnosed. Furthermore, the book will provide insights in cardiac function that are needed to perform and interpret the diagnostic tests, and to provide some guides to treatment choices.

Features 7 There is no product currently available that will provide the reader with a comprehensive evaluation of diastolic function

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: From Local to Systemic Therapeutics Tissue engineering is gaining interest as it is applied for regeneration of organs to attain their lost function. BMPs have been successfully used to regenerate the bone in humans. Most recent preclinical data suggest that BMPs have a potential to provide protection against inflammation and fibrosis in acute and chronic injury of parenchymal tissues when applied systemically to sustain the function of kidney and liver. The application of BMPs from a local to systemic utility is a rapidly growing field, gaining interest among researchers and biotech entrepreneurs. In this volume, we summarize the advances made on the local and systemic use of BMPs including chapters covering the regulation of BMP-signalling pathways, biological actions of BMPs in bone, cartilage and teeth, as well as clinical applications and potential systemic use of BMPs for tissues beyond bone.

Features 7 Completes the series of PIR-volumes on BMPs by S. Vukicevic/K.T. Sampath with most recent data (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins - Regeneration of Bone and Beyond / 2004; and Bone Morphogenetic Proteins - From Laboratory to Clinical Practice / 2002) 7 Written by experts in the field

From the contents An update on BMP biology.- Regulation of BMP2 and GDF5 signaling by ligand mutants and receptor endocytosis.- Signaling crosstalk.

C. Zalpour, Münster (Hrsg.)

Springer Lexikon Physiotherapie

The politics of mental health in the 21st century

Depression and Globalisation is an important academic text on the political aspects of depression, specifically the relationship between globalisation and depression. In this text Dr. Walker reestablishes the link between mental health research and treatment, along with the political and economical influences outside the world of academic and clinical mental health. Overall, this book will accomplish the task of how closely and inextricably linked these diverse fields are and the way they operate together to produce not only a cultural representation of mental illness but influence the extent and type of mental distress in the 21st century.

Von „Anatomie“ über „Cyriax“, „ICF“, „Kinesiologie“, „Manuelle Therapie“, „Psychomotorik“, „Physiologie“ bis „ZNS“: Im Springer Lexikon Physiotherapie sind alle wesentlichen Themenfelder der Physiotherapie vertreten - in rund 23.000 Stichwörtern. Das Fachlexikon und Wörterbuch liefert Ihnen Begriffserklärungen mit aktuellen praxisnahen Informationen zur Fachterminologie der Physiotherapie, angrenzender Gebiete und zur physiotherapeutisch relevanten medizinischen Nomenklatur, z.B. über 400 Krankheitsbilder mit allen wichtigen Fakten und Praxishinweisen zur ärztlichen und physiotherapeutischen Untersuchung und Behandlung - lexikalisch knapp, aber auch systematisch und fachlich genau dargestellt.

Calcium Signalling and Disease Molecular pathology of calcium

Features The knowledge of lysosomal biology and the consequences of its dysfunction have increased dramatically in the past 60 years. Research of these disorders has moved from diseases with unknown etiology to disorders with clear and defined pathophysiology and some of them have benefited from the development of disease specific therapeutics. Lysosomal Biology and Storage Disorders describes the nature of the diseases, the historical evolution of the field and future perspectives for the treatment of these clinical entities. Organized as a textbook, Lysosomal Biology and Storage Disorders describes the nature of lysosomal dysfunction, the synthesis and targeting of lysosomal enzymes and the implications of the targeting mechanisms for the development of new therapies. Disease specific chapters provide thorough reviews of the clinical features of lysosomal storage disorders, their molecular basis and the commercial or experimental therapeutic approaches sought in this area.

Type of publication

This topic is a new entry in the area of cellular calcium signaling: yet, it now spans the entire area, with discoveries that cover both genetic and acquired pathologies, even offering glimpses in the direction of therapy. Cellular calcium homeostasis, and thus calcium signalling, is mainly regulated by membrane intrinsic proteins and calcium sensor proteins. Both classes may be involved in pathological processes that affect both human and animals, ranging from common and important diseases (e.g. migraine, diabetes, epilepsia, manic depression, infertility, various types of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, muscular dystrophy) to rare genetic conditions (e.g., a number of genetic heart conditions, autoimmune retinopathies, night blindness, hereditary amyloid polyneuropathy, malignant hyperthermia, cerebellar ataxia, atherothrombotic disease).

A. Farooqui, W. Ong, L. Horrocks

To the Nucleus and Back This book provides the reader with broad perspectives and breadth of knowledge on current topics related to the use of proteomic strategies in cancer therapy as well as anticipated challenges that may arise from its application in daily practice. The book is divided into 4 parts. The first part begins with the current technologies used in proteomics that allow for protein profiling and for the identification of druggable targets in human samples. Mass spectrometry based protein characterization and protein microarrays hold great promise of predicting response to specific drugs in cancer therapy. The second part deals with the use proteomics in cell signaling. At the present, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have many potentially useful small molecule inhibitors of many pathways important in cancer that have yet to be taken to clinical trials.

Features 7 Comprehensive look at the use of proteomic strategies in cancer therapy 7 Covers all the latest technologies used in proteomics 7 Includes in-depth information on the human proteome and the role of the FDA in regulating the use of proteomics 7 The latest research on proteomics and tyrosine kinases 7 p53 signalling and tumor biomarkers

Regulation of gene transcription by neuronal activity is evident in a large number of neuronal processes ranging from neural development and refinement of neuronal connections to learning and response to injury. In the field of activitydependent gene expression, rapid progress is being made that can impact these, and many other areas of neuroscience. The major aim of Transcriptional Regulation by Neuronal Activity: To the Nucleus and Back is to illustrate key advances in the field – specifically how signals are transmitted to the nucleus in response to neuronal activity, what genes are activated and how this is achieved, and how these changes in gene expression alter neuronal function.

In the past decade, our understanding of the biochemistry, molecular biology, and neuropathology of the glutamate transporters and receptors has exploded. It is becoming increasingly evident that molecular mechanisms, which govern the transfer of the death signal from the neural cell surface to the nucleus, depend on lipid mediators and on cross talk among excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, and that interactions among these three processes play a major role in neuronal cell death during acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative disease. These processes may be primary initiating points in neurodegeneration or they may be the end result of the neurodegenerative process itself.

Features

7 Comprehensive chapters give readers an upto-date picture of the field 7 Covers a variety of methods and topics, including signal initiation and transduction to the nucleus and possible functions of the activity-regulated genes 7 Focuses on the rapidly-evolving area of activity regulation of gene transcription

7 Presents readers with a coherent overview of cutting edge information on glutamate metabolism in brain 7 Examines the role of glutamate transporters and the involvement of glutamate receptors in the pathogenesis of acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative diseases 7 Includes information on the treatment of these diseases with endogenous and exogenous antioxidants and glutamate receptor antagonists

Intramembrane-Cleaving Proteases (I-CLiPs) In recent years a growing number of proteases have been identified that catalyse peptide bond hydrolysis in the plane of the cellular membrane. These so-called ‘intramembrane-cleaving proteases’ (I-CLiPs) are involved in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell regulation, signalling, quorum sensing, protein processing, lipid metabolism and the unfolded protein response. Some I-CLiPs play critical roles in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and viral infection. The authors, who are all world leaders in this exciting field of cell biology, provide an overview of the various proteases including recent data derived from the structural determination of some of the I-CliPs, and discuss the various roles that these proteases play in biology and disease.

Features 7 First book to deal with this emerging group of proteases 7 Comprehensive review of the current state of research on I-CLiPs 7 Contributions by authors recognised as leaders in their fields 7 Easy to read descriptive text 7 Fully referenced

Fundamentals of Biomechanics Fundamentals of Biomechanics, 2nd edition, presents a clear, conceptual approach to understanding biomechanics within the context of the qualitative analysis of human movement. The philosophy is to blend up-to-date biomechanical knowledge (with extensive referencing for student study) with professional application knowledge. This true application of biomechanics in real-world settings is missing in previous biomechanics texts. The text provides real-world examples of the application of biomechanics several ways. Like other texts, human movement examples and problems are discussed to help teach biomechanical variables and concepts. This text, however, goes beyond this physics class with sport example approach.

Filoviruses A Compendium of 40 Years of Epidemiological, Clinical, and Laboratory Studies

The marburgviruses and ebolaviruses are among the most hazardous pathogens known to mankind. Since these agents are highly virulent, research progress has been rather slow in comparison to other viruses. After it was revealed that the former Soviet Union has evaluated filoviruses for biological weapons development, interest in defenses against them has been reawakened. This book provides the most extensive bibliography review of filovirus research publication to date with special emphasis on foreign literature that has never been summarized. Every aspect of filovirus research, including their history, epidemiology, clinical picture, pathology, molecular biology, and political aspects are reviewed in detail.

Molecular Beacons Signalling Nucleic Acid Probes, Methods, and Protocols

Significant DNA sequence data has been made availabe by several important genome projects. We clearly live in an exciting era, in which the allocation of functions to a mere string of the four letters in the code of life plays a major if not the predominant role of ongoing and future research. In functional genomics techniques are required that allow to examine the occurrence of gene products (be it RNA or protein material) and their interplay with other gene products, if possible, in real time. Again, once an important function has been identified there will be demands to trace or screen that function in in vitro and in vivo systems. For example, it may be necessary to detect dissimilarities in RNA expression between individuals or it may be required to detect pathogenes as rapid as possible.

Auditory Trauma, Protection and Repair

Risk Management Issues in Genetic Counseling

The past decade has brought great advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying auditory pathologies. Molecular biology and genetics have primarily contributed to this enhanced understanding, which in turn has driven the design of novel rational therapeutic interventions. This volume presents recent developments in research and their potential translation to the clinical setting. The volume addresses the major entities of peripheral auditory trauma, discusses the underlying mechanisms, the central nervous system consequences, protective interventions and finally explores the possibilities to restore cochlear morphology and function.

Lessons Learned

No one wants to be sued. A lawsuit is an assault on one’s self-image, reputation, and livelihood. It is physically, mentally, and financially draining. Professionals get sued because an individual believes she has been harmed or thinks there is enough evidence to convince a jury that she has been harmed. An accusation of harm can be expressed in different legal terms, such as breach of contract or negligence. The profession of genetic counseling has developed within the field of medicine, so that a medical model usually applies. Therefore, a formal complaint by a patient about a genetic counselor would come under the laws that apply to medicine as opposed to business. Most commonly, these complaints take the form of a malpractice lawsuit that claims malpractice or negligence.

Features 7 Author has training and experience in both genetic counseling and law, serving as an expert witness in a malpractice case brought against a genetic counselor 7 Only book specifically addressing genetic counseling, as opposed to general healthcare risk management 7 Includes summaries for convenient reference, important court cases, and an appendix of relevant documents

Molecular Motors

Drug Discovery and Evaluation

Methods and Protocols

Pharmacological Assays Molecular motor proteins comprise three protein superfamilies: kinesins, dyneins and myosins. Together, these proteins produce force for movement in an incredibly wide variety of cellular processes including vesicular transport, cell division, nuclear migration, muscle contraction, mechanochemical transduction, among others. In addition, molecular motors are expressed in both simple eukaryotes and in a tissue specific manner in higher cells. This methods volume explores the extreme functional and structural diversity of molecular motors and presents methods relevant to each motor family.

The rapid progress in biology will continue to change the methodological approach to drug discovery in the coming years. Electronic media will continuously help researchers to access and share information. It is, however, becoming more and more evident that many young pharmacologists have only limited training in classical pharmacological methodologies. These long-standing and still highly relevant methods are simply not available in the electronic databases.

Fragmented Intimacy Addiction in a Social World This book is a first major attempt to examine what might be involved in consistently applying social understandings to addictions. Traditional approaches are dominated by what the book refers to as “particle” perspectives in which the focus narrows down to the person experiencing the addiction. Despite decades of research and development, particle-derived intervention approaches have yielded marginal gains in reducing levels of addiction. A shift in orientation may open up new possibilities. A social perspective shifts from thinking in terms of particles to viewing a person in terms of relationships. People become, in many ways, defined by the array of connections that comprise their social world. The reorientation generates interesting new opportunities for explanation and intervention.

Features 7 Presents a social complement to the mainstream “particle” or individualized approaches developed in most other books on addiction 7 Integrates recent advances in theory on community capacity building, resilience, and social ecology 7 Has a practical focus, with early content leading to the practical applications in Part IV

From the contents Part I: Theory.- 1. Addiction In Perspective.2. A Social World.- 3. Addiction and Connecting.4. Responding to Addiction; Part II: Processes.5. Becoming Intimate.- 6. Intimacies in Addictive Contexts.- 7. Intimacy and Power; Part III: Families and Communities.- 8. Fragmented Lives.

Psychological Processes in International Negotiation Theoretical and Practical Perspectives Global interests are at stake at the treaty table. But personalities on either side can create difficulties apart from the issues. A skilled negotiator needs to be able to defuse the tensions and misperceptions that can derail progress. There are few sources that combine the psychological knowledge with the skills of persuasion. Now, a unique collaboration between experts in cognitive psychotherapy and political science, Psychological Processes in International Negotiations provides such a resource. Drawing on a wide range of theory and data, from neuroscientific findings and historical events to Albert Ellis’ rational-emotive model of behavior, the book explains how the negotiation process works, under both adverse and optimum conditions.

Features 7 Authors are highly respected international experts in the field 7 Authors bring together the disciplines of psychology and international negotiation 7 Emphasizes the value of human psychology in the process of negotiation and mediation 7 Facilitates the recognition of potential disputes before they occur in order to prevent them

Training emotionaler Kompetenzen Emotionale Kompetenz, die Fähigkeit, konstruktiv mit Stress und belastenden Gefühlen umzugehen, ist zentral für die psychische Funktionsfähigkeit und effektive Auseinandersetzung mit der Umwelt. Die Beeinträchtigung dieser Fähigkeit stellt ein bedeutsames Risiko für die Entwicklung psychischer Probleme und Störungen dar. Bei jeder Psychotherapie sollten daher Kompetenzen von Patienten im Umgang mit Stress und negativen Emotionen erfasst und ggfs. durch gezielte Trainingsmaßnahmen gestärkt werden. Das Instrument dazu: TEK - Training emotionaler Kompetenzen, einzeln oder in der Gruppe: 1. Muskelentspannung - 2. Atem-Entspannung - 3. Bewertungsfreie Wahrnehmung - 4. Akzeptieren und Tolerieren 5.

Handbook of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies with Older Adults

Musik, die wirkt

The purpose of this book is to disseminate “best practice” models of treatment for the common mental health problems of late life, so that evidence-based practice will become the norm (rather than the exception) when working clinically with older adults. Each chapter will contain reviews of the empirical literature focusing on studies conducted with elders; then they will emphasize how CBT can be applied most effectively to that specific patient population. Case studies will be used to illuminate practice recommendations, and issues of diversity will likewise be highlighted whenever possible. Clinical researchers will also find this book useful because gaps in knowledge will be identified, and suggestions for future treatment oriented research will be made throughout the book.

Features 7 The only book to comprehensively address CBT with elderly 7 Each chapter will have a set format to keep consistency between chapters 7 Contains solid reviews of empirically supported interventions for common mental health problems of older adults 7 Attention to emerging areas, in response to the needs of practitioners, e.g. suicide, poverty, LGBT populations 7 Editors are well known experts in both gerontology and psychology

Target groups Health psychologists, neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, especially those working in a medical setting, post-graduates in health/medical psychology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine

Die Wirkung von Musik untersuchen heute auf breiter Ebene zahlreiche unterschiedliche Disziplinen. Wie und wozu uns dieses uralte Kulturgut noch formt, befähigt und nutzt, das kann nur in der Zusammenschau und im Austausch mit der Forschung aufscheinen. Aus dieser Perspektive hat der Kongress Mozart und Science zum ersten interdisziplinären, internationalen Dialog der Wissenschaften über Musikwirkung eingeladen. Dieses Buch basiert auf den Ergebnissen dieses Kongresses. Er trägt neueste Forschungen aus allen genannten Disziplinen zusammen, insbesondere zu psycho-physiologischen und kognitiven Fragen, und erweitert über die Referenten des Kongresses hinaus einige Themen mit neuen Beiträgen. Den Praktikern in Medizin und Erziehung liefert er gute Einsichten in psycho-physiologische Fragestellungen und Erkenntnisse. Im Dialog der Wissenschaften bringt er das Zeitphänomen musikalischer Rezeption mit der Perspektive neurologischer Erregungspotentiale zusammen.

Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing Analysis of Personality in the Psychological Report

Since the debut of the original edition, the Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing has been an invaluable aid to students and professionals performing psychological assessments. The new Fourth Edition continues in that tradition, taking the reader from client referral to finished report, demonstrating how to synthesize details of personality and pathology into a document that is focused, coherent, and clinically meaningful. As with the previous editions, authors Kellerman and Burry offer a systematic framework for choosing the most relevant material from seemingly overwhelming amounts of test data. Separate chapters offer clear rationales for each component of the report (e.g., cognitive functioning, interpersonal behavior, control mechanisms), and how they relate to one another.

Features 7 Offers a central resource for the construction and organization of psychological reports 7 Helps both students and professionals write reports based on the particular needs and conflicts of the individual patient 7 Provides a model for constructing a psychodiagnostic report that integrates and synthesizes personality data derived from the standard projective battery

Ob es um das Überbringen einer Todesnachricht an Angehörige, psychiatrische Notfälle oder Großschadensereignisse mit Schwerverletzten und Toten geht - die Helfergruppen vor Ort stehen schwierigen Anforderungen gegenüber. Die Notfallpsychologie beschäftigt sich sowohl mit den Belastungen und Folgen für Notfallopfer als auch mit den Belastungen und Interventionsmöglichkeiten bei Helfergruppen. So umfassend wurde das Fachgebiet selten dargestellt: Eine Vielzahl von Situationen und Personenkreisen (u.a. Plötzlicher Kindstod, Notfälle bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, Verbrechensopfern, Drogennotfälle) werden ebenso aufgeführt wie die Notfall-Organisationspsychologie, die bei Großschadensereignissen und Katastrophen wichtig wird. Wie werden dort Entscheidungen gefällt, wer ist zuständig - wichtige Fragen, über die es sich im Vorfeld Gedanken zu machen gilt. Mit Checklisten und Verhaltensanleitungen für verschiedene Helfergruppen (u.a. Richtlinien für Psychische Erste Hilfe).

Principles of Neuropsychological Assessment with Hispanics

Stressbewältigung für Kinder und Jugendliche

Theoretical Foundations and Clinical Practice

Many demographers believe that Hispanics will become the single largest minority in this country within the next generation. This volume will be the first volume of this new series that explores diversity, culture and ethnicity and their impact on neurological functioning. It will provide a forum in which to examine and explore the influences of culture on brain-behavior relationships from theoretical and applied viewpoints. From a theoretical standpoint, the book will attempt to provide research-based evidence from the impact of culture on brain-behavior relationships while at the same time exploring key factors and issues (e.g., acculturation / assimilation, cultural identity, migrational patterns and their concomitants) responsible for these influences. From an applied standpoint, clinical issues such as competence and minimal standards associated with appropriate assessments of these populations will be discussed, including novel approaches to assessments.

Features 7 One of few books that explores diversity, culture and ethnicity and their impact on neurological functioning

Durch zunehmenden Erwartungs- und Leistungsdruck in Schule und Freizeit leiden schon Kinder zunehmend unter Stress und stressbedingten Symptomen (z.B. Kopf- oder Bauchweh, Schlafschwierigkeiten, Appetitlosigkeit). Jedes 4. Kind im Grundschulalter gibt diese Symptome mehrmals in der Woche an. Der fundierte Ratgeber richtet sich in erster Linie an Eltern dieser „stressgeplagten“ Kinder und Jugendlichen: Sie sollen die Mechanismen des Stresserlebens und der Stressbewältigung bei Kindern kennen und erhalten praktische Anregungen und Übungen, um den Stress zu verringern. Mit Kapitel zum Thema „Elternstress“.

Schattendasein – Das unverstandene Leiden Depression Schattendasein - das unverstandene Leiden der Depression. Anders als bei anderen Krankheiten haben die Betroffenen häufig das Gefühl über ihre Erkrankung nicht sprechen zu können, „über der Depression liegt ein Schleier“. Unterstützung und Austausch finden die Betroffenen jedoch seit einigen Jahren im Internetforum des „Kompetenznetz Depression, Suizidalität“. Vier Betroffene und eine Angehörige haben sich nun daran gemacht, Postings des Forums zu sichten, zu kommentieren und zu einem Ratgeber zu verdichten. Fachlich betreut wurde das Projekt von Ärzten des Kompetenznetzes Depression. Von der Frage, wie sich eine Depression äußert, über mögliche Behandlungsmöglichkeiten und die Rolle des sozialen Umfeldes bis hin zu den ersten Lichtblicken auf dem Weg zur Gesundung werden zahlreiche Informationen aufgeführt. So entsteht ein vielstimmiges Bild der Erkrankung - für Betroffene, die sehen, sie sind nicht alleine, für Fachleute, die detailliert die Innenansicht einer psychischen Störung erfahren.

Motivational Aspects of Prejudice and Racism

Mental Health and Legal Perspectives Whether assessing general family functioning or specific areas of conflict, professionals preparing child custody evaluations require sound knowledge of three interrelated fields: up-to-date legal issues, psychological findings, and forensic procedures. A Comprehensive Guide to Child Custody Evaluations covers these three essential areas to walk readers through the evaluation process clearly and concisely. This unique book emphasizes professional ethics, children’s psychological well-being, and clear communication among all parties as keys to resolving disputes with efficiency and thoroughness, and minimizing the chances of children and their families getting lost in red tape. Among the Guide’s features: Legal standards for custody evaluations and recommendations; Procedures for conducting custody evaluations, with the latest data on psychological testing, interviewing children, and home observations.

Features 7 Incorporates discussion of the laws and the specific issues, e.g. sexual orientation, mental illness, substance abuse, violence and physical abuse 7 Unique combination of legal guidelines with social science research 7 CD-ROM that includes downloadable copies of sample court orders, letters, agreements, forms, interview protocols and GAL reports that appear in the book 7 Provides samples of child custody cases

Fields of interest Psychology and Law

Target groups Mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers) working on forensic child custody evaluations, upper-level graduate students on psychology, social work, forensic psychology programs

With the growing challenges that children confront daily, schools must be prepared at any given moment to intervene on their behalf. And school professionals must be well trained to attend not only to the most routine mental health needs of its students but also to respond quickly and effectively to significant traumatic events. All this in addition to addressing demands to narrow the achievement gap, increase the rate of school success, and lower the dropout rate. Along with an introductory chapter that focuses on advancing school-based mental health practice and research, the Handbook of School Mental Health addresses a broad range of issues, including how to: Build and enhance collaborative approaches among the various individual, group, system, and agency stakeholders.

Features 7 Addresses the information needs of a diverse and broad coalition of mental health providers 7 Captures the diverse and unique components that comprise comprehensive mental programs in schools 7 Focuses on solutions to issues being confronted by school-based mental health programs 7 Explores how to build bridges between the schools and other mental health systems, including community organizations

Contents Introduction: Advancing Mental Health Practice and Research in Schools.- Part I: Background, Policy, and Advocacy.- Part II: Enhancing Collaborative Approaches.- Part III: School Mental Health in Context.- Part IV: Moving toward Best Practice.- Part V: Cross-Cutting Issues.

The study of prejudice and racism is one of the oldest interests of social psychology and continues as a major area of interest in the social sciences, in general. Early approaches to the study of prejudice and racism focused on intra-individual processes and personality defects, motivational aspects of inter-ethnic conflict, and the content and application of racial prejudice. With the advent of the cognitive approach to scholarship in social behavior, the focus was on the cognitive processes that promote, maintain, and transmit prejudice and how discrimination was best detected and controlled. Currently, there has been renewed interest in the motivational aspects of prejudice and racism. The present state of understanding stereotyping and prejudice stems from basic motives (i.e. belonging, understanding, controlling, etc.) and that new approaches to the understanding of prejudice and racism must include the study of a combination of cognitive and motivational aspects.

Features 7 First volume in the well-renowned book series Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which is the longest running symposium series in psychology 7 Contributing authors are the leading scholars who are at the forefront of research on the motivational aspects of prejudice and racism and the impact of such forces on the targets of racial bias

Sturm-Liouville Theory and its Functional Analysis and Applications Evolution Equations

springer.de/buchhandel

J. A. Ball, Y. Eidelman, W. Helton, V. Olshevsky, J. Rovnyak (Eds.)

Recent Advances in Matrix and Operator Theory

Dedicated to Gunter Lumer Developed from a course taught to senior undergraduates, this book provides a unified introduction to Fourier analysis and special functions based on the Sturm-Liouville theory in L2. The treatment relies heavily on the convergence properties of sequences and series of numbers as well as functions, and assumes a solid background in advanced calculus and an acquaintance with ordinary differential equations and linear algebra. Familiarity with the relevant theorems of real analysis, such as the Ascoli–Arzelà theorem, is also useful for following the proofs. The presentation follows a clear and rigorous mathematical style that is both readable and well motivated, with many examples and applications used to illustrate the theory. Although addressed primarily to undergraduate students of mathematics, the book will also be of interest to students in related disciplines, such as physics and engineering, where Fourier analysis and special functions are used extensively for solving linear differential equations.

Gunter Lumer was an outstanding mathematician whose works have great influence on the research community in mathematical analysis and evolution equations. He was at the origin of the breathtaking development the theory of semigroups saw after the pioneering book of Hille and Phillips from 1957. This volume contains invited contributions presenting the state of the art of these topics and reflecting the broad interests of Gunter Lumer.

This volume comprises the proceedings of the International Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications held at the University of Connecticut in July 2005.

Modeling Complex Living Systems

Classical Geometries in Modern Contexts

Laplacian Eigenvectors of Graphs

A Mathematical Kinetic Theory Approach

Geometry of Real Inner Product Spaces

Perron-Frobenius and Faber-Krahn Type Theorems

Using tools from mathematical kinetic theory, this work deals with the modeling of large complex systems in the applied sciences, particularly those comprised of several interacting individuals whose dynamics follow rules determined by some organized, or even “intelligent” ability. Traditionally, methods of mathematical kinetic theory have been applied to model the evolution of large systems of interacting classical or quantum particles. This book, on the other hand, examines the modeling of living systems as opposed to inert systems. The author develops new mathematical methods and tools - hopefully a “new” mathematics toward the modeling of living systems. Such tools need to be far more complex than those dealing with systems of inert matter. The first part of the book deals with deriving general evolution equations that can be customized to particular systems of interest in the applied sciences. The second part of the book deals with various models and applications.

This book is based on real inner product spaces X of arbitrary (finite or infinite) dimension greater than or equal to 2. With natural properties of (general) translations and general distances of X euclidean and hyperbolic geometries are characterized. For these spaces X also the sphere geometries of Möbius and Lie are studied (besides euclidean and hyperbolic geometry), as well as geometries where Lorentz transformations play the key role. The geometrical notions of this book are based on general spaces X as described. This implies that also mathematicians who have not so far been especially interested in geometry may study and understand great ideas of classical geometries in modern and general contexts.

Features 7 Unique book with respect to the existing literature; very little is available in the field 7 Using new methods and tools from mathematical kinetic theory, this book examines the modeling of living systems as opposed to inert systems 7 Real-world applications to immunology, transportation engineering, and economics

Fields of interest

Features 7 Dimension-free presentation 7 Inclusion of proofs of newer theorems characterizing isometries and Lorentz transformations under mild hypotheses 7 Common presentation for finite and infinite dimensional real inner product spaces X on an elementary basis, i.e., avoiding transfinite methods 7 Highlights like the projective approach to dimension-free hyperbolic geometry or the priniple of duality are developed

Eigenvectors of graph Laplacians have not, to date, been the subject of expository articles and thus they may seem a surprising topic for a book. The authors propose two motivations for this new LNM volume: (1) There are fascinating subtle differences between the properties of solutions of Schrödinger equations on manifolds on the one hand, and their discrete analogs on graphs. (2) “Geometric” properties of (cost) functions defined on the vertex sets of graphs are of practical interest for heuristic optimization algorithms. The observation that the cost functions of quite a few of the well-studied combinatorial optimization problems are eigenvectors of associated graph Laplacians has prompted the investigation of such eigenvectors. The volume investigates the structure of eigenvectors and looks at the number of their sign graphs (“nodal domains”), Perron components, graphs with extremal properties with respect to eigenvectors. The Rayleigh quotient and rearrangement of graphs form the main methodology.

Theorie, schnelle Löser und Anwendungen in der Elastizitätstheorie

Bei der numerischen Behandlung partieller Differentialgleichungen treten oft überraschende Phänomene auf. Neben der zügigen Behandlung der klassischen Theorie, die bis an die aktuelle Forschung heranführt, wird deshalb viel Wert auf die Darstellung von Beispielen und Gegenbeispielen gelegt. Die Beispiele haben mit dazu beigetragen, dass das Buch jetzt zu den Standardwerken bei den Finiten Elementen zählt. Mit der vierten Auflage erfolgte eine Abrundung bei den Themen, deren Bedeutung in den letzten Jahren gewachsen sind: Nichtstandard Anwendungen von Sattelpunktmethoden verstecken sich nicht nur hinter einer neuen Klasse von a posteriori Abschätzungen. Die Behandlung von Locking-Effekten in der Festkörpermechanik wurde gebündelt und durch eine vollständige Theorie für den TimoschenkoBalken didaktisch vorbereitet. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Mathematik im 3. und 4. Studienjahr und in den späteren Kapiteln auch an junge Forscher, bei denen Finite Elemente im Mittelpunkt ihrer Arbeit stehen.

Principal Manifolds for Data Frames and Bases for Complex Analysis Visualization and Dimension Mathematics and Engineering With Applications in Science and Engineering Reduction An Introductory Course Based on a streamlined presentation of the author’s successful work An Introduction to Frames and Riesz Bases, this new textbook develops frame theory as part of a dialogue between mathematicians and engineers. Newly added sections on applications will help mathematically oriented readers to see where frames are used in practice and engineers to discover the mathematical background for applications in their field. The primary focus of the work is on basic topics without too many side remarks making it easier for students to follow the presentation. An introductory chapter presents basic results in finite-dimensional vector spaces, enabling readers with a basic knowledge of linear algebra to understand the idea behind frames without the technical complications in infinite-dimensional spaces. Extensive exercises make the work suitable as a textbook for use in theoretical graduate courses on bases and frames or applications-oriented courses focusing on either Gabor analysis or wavelets.

Features 7 Interdisciplinary approach develops frame theory as part of a dialogue between mathematicians, and engineers 7 Extensive exercises make the work suitable as a textbook for use in theoretical graduate courses on bases and frames or application-oriented courses focusing on either Gabor anlaysis or wavelets 7 Focus on basic topics without too many side remarks makes it easier for students to follow the presentation

Complex Analysis with Applications in Science and Engineering weaves together theory and extensive applications in mathematics, physics and engineering. Key Features of this second edition: Excellent coverage of topics such as series, residues and the evaluation of integrals, multi-valued functions, conformal mapping, dispersion relations and analytic continuation; Systematic and clear presentation with many diagrams to clarify discussion of the material; Numerous worked examples and a large number of assigned problems. In this edition there are many new problems, revised sections, and an entirely new chapter on analytic continuation. This work will serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in the areas noted above.

In 1901, Karl Pearson invented Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Since then, PCA serves as a prototype for many other tools of data analysis, visualization and dimension reduction: Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Nonlinear PCA (NLPCA), Self Organizing Maps (SOM), etc. The book starts with the quote of the classical Pearson definition of PCA and includes reviews of various methods: NLPCA, ICA, MDS, embedding and clustering algorithms, principal manifolds and SOM. New approaches to NLPCA, principal manifolds, branching principal components and topology preserving mappings are described as well. Presentation of algorithms is supplemented by case studies, from engineering to astronomy, but mostly of biological data: analysis of microarray and metabolite data. The volume ends with a tutorial PCA deciphers genome.

Numerical Treatment of Partial Diﬀerential Equations

J. S. Hesthaven, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA; T. Warburton, Rice University, Houston, TX, USA

Nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Methods

Translated by: M. Stynes

Algorithms, Analysis, and Applications

This book deals with discretization techniques for partial differential equations of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic type. It provides an introduction to the main principles of discretization and it gives a presentation of the ideas and analysis of advanced numerical methods in the area. The main goal is to provide students, mathematically interested engineers and scientists with a textbook containing all basic discretization techniques for the fundamental types of partial differential equations. The book offers analytical tools, properties of discretization techniques and hints to algorithmic aspects. Moreover it also guides to current developments in research: there are, for instance, detailed introductions into a posteriori error estimation, discontinuous Galerkin methods or optimal control with partial differential equations - all of these being very recent subjects, hardly to be found elsewhere.

The text offers an introduction to the key ideas, basic analysis, and efficient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DG-FEM) for the solution of partial differential equations. All key theoretical results are either derived or discussed, including an overview of relevant results from approximation theory, convergence theory for numerical PDE’s, orthogonal polynomials etc. Through embedded Matlab codes, the algorithms are discussed and implemented for a number of classic systems of PDE’s, e.g., Maxwell’s equations, Euler equations, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and Poissonand Helmholtz equations. These developments are done in detail in 1 and 2 dimensions on general unstructured grids with high-order elements and all essential routines for 3D extensions are also included and discussed briefly.

Features Features 7 Covers a wider range of topics than other book: not just element methods, but also finite difference and finite volumes for elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic problems 7 Gives introduction but also recent research developments, which are rarely discussed in introductory textbooks elsewhere

7 First text on DG-FEM, suitable both as a textbook and for self sudy 7 Attention to both basic analysis and algorithmic issues 7 Easily modified MATLAB library routines 7 Enables 1D-3D solution of PDEs in general geometries 7 Exercises at the end of each chapter

Contents Contents Notation.- 1 Basics.- 2 Finite Difference Methods.3 Weak Solutions.- 4 The Finite Element Method.5 Finite Element Methods for Unsteady Problems.- 6 Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems.- 7 Variational Inequalities, Optimal Control.- 8 Numerical Methods for Discretized Problems.- Bibliography: Textbooks and Monographs.- Bibliography:Original Papers.- Index.

Diskrete Mathematik Eine Entdeckungsreise Übersetzt aus dem Englischen von: H. Mielke

Dieses Buch ist [...] eine hervorragende Einführung in Kombinatorik und Graphentheorie für Studienanfänger in Mathematik (und Informatik). [...] das Buch ist wegen des ungewöhnlichen und sehr attraktiven Stiles der Darstellung bemerkenswert. [...] Die Sprachform ist vorwiegend die eines Gespräches mit dem Leser, der dadurch in die Gedankengänge und Überlegungen des Autors hineingeführt und hineingezogen wird. Zum Beispiel werden bei einem Beweis zuerst die Grundidee oder die Zielsetzung genannt und erläutert, und auch im weiteren Verlauf wird immer wieder durch alternative Formulierungen das Verständnis vertieft oder ermöglicht. Dadurch werden im Leser adäquate Vorstellungen zu den formalen Schritten erzeugt, die dann wieder eigenständiges und kreatives Denken ermöglichen. Die Lektüre ist also anregend und sehr motivierend!

This introduction to the ideas and methods of linear functional analysis shows how familiar and useful concepts from finite-dimensional linear algebra can be extended or generalized to infinite-dimensional spaces. Aimed at advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics, the book assumes a standard background of linear algebra, real analysis (including the theory of metric spaces), and Lebesgue integration, although an introductory chapter summarizes the requisite material. Highlights of the second edition include - a new chapter on the Hahn-Banach theorem and its applications to the theory of duality. This chapter also introduces the basic properties of projection operators on Banach spaces, and weak convergence of sequences in Banach spaces; - topics that have applications to both linear and nonlinear functional analysis; - extended coverage of the uniform boundedness theorem; - plenty of exercises, with solutions provided at the back of the book.

Contents Preliminaries.- Normed Spaces.- Inner Product Spaces, Hilbert Spaces.- Linear Operators.- Duality and the Hahn-Banach Theorem.- Linear Operators on Hilbert Spaces.- Compact Operators.- Integral and Differential Equations.- Solutions to Exercises.- Further Reading.- References.- Notation Index.- Index.

A Problem Solving Approach for Mathematics

Introduction to Bayesian Scientiﬁc Computing

This book compares the two computer algebra programs, Maple and Mathematica used by students, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. Structured by presenting parallel both systems in parallel, Mathematica’s users can learn Maple quickly by finding the Maple equivalent to Mathematica functions, and vice versa. This student reference handbook consists of core material for incorporating Maple and Mathematica as a working tool into different undergraduate mathematical courses (algebra, geometry, calculus, complex functions, special functions, integral transforms, mathematical equations). Part I describes the foundations of Maple and Mathematica(with equivalent problems and solutions). Part II describes Mathematics with Maple and Mathematica by using equivalent problems.

Subjective Computing

Este livro é uma introdução ao Cálculo Científico. O seu objectivo consiste em apresentar vários métodos numéricos para resolver no computador certos problemas matemáticos que não podem ser tratados de maneira mais simples. São abordadas questões clássicas como o cálculo de zeros ou de integrais de funções contínuas, a resolução de sistemas lineares, a aproximação de funções por polinómios e a construção de aproximações precisas de soluções de equações diferenciais. Todos os algoritmos são apresentados nas linguagens de programação MATLAB e Octave, cujos comandos e instruções principais se introduzem de forma gradual, visando em particular a sua compatibilidade nas duas linguagens. O leitor pode assim verificar experimentalmente propriedades teóricas como a estabilidade, a precisão e a complexidade. O livro inclui ainda a resolução de problemas através de numerosos exercícios e exemplos, frequentemente ligados a aplicações concretas.

Funktionalanalysis

This collection of original articles and surveys written by leading experts in their fields is dedicated to Arrigo Cellina and James A. Yorke on the occasion of their 65th birthday. The purpose of the volume is to bring the reader to the border of research in differential equations, a fast evolving branch of mathematics that, besides being a main subject for mathematicians, is one of the mathematical tools most used both by scientists and engineers. It treats the nonlinear aspects of the theory of differential equations, of the calculus of variations, dynamical systems, as well as topics related to chaotic systems and their relations with physical problems. The reader will find both some surveys of the more recent developments in several topics related with differential equations, chaos and variational problems, as well as new contributions in active and important areas of research as Young measures, optimal control, differential and delaydifferential equations and inclusions.

Features 7 High-quality articles in several different, but strongly related areas 7 Contributions by prominent mathematicians covering a wide range of topics from ordinary differential equations, dynamical systems, calculus of variations, control theory, chaotic systems and their relations with physical systems

Multiscale Methods Averaging and Homogenization

The book is meant to be an introduction, aimed primarily towards graduate students. Part I of the book (theoretical foundations) and Part III of the book (proving theorems concerning simplified versions of the models that are studied in Part II) are necessarily terse and present the wide range of applications of the ideas, and illustrate their unity. The subject matter in these set of notes has, for the most part, been known for several decades. However, the particular presentation of the material here is particularly suited to the pedagogical goal of communicating the subject area to the wide range of mathematicians, scientists and engineers who are currently engaged in the use of these tools to tackle the enormous range of applications that require them. Extensions and generalizations of the results presented in these notes, as well as references to the literature, are given in the Discussion and Bibliography section, at the end of each chapter.

Nexus Network Journal 9,2 Architecture and Mathematics Editor-in-chief: K. Williams

This volume is dedicated to “Mechanics in Architecture”, that is, the science of structural mechanics, including the behaviour of structures, internal forces, and deformation, as well as the development of new structural systems to resist thrusts as a result of new architectural forms. It is a field of enquiry that examines a particular aspect of the relationships between architecture and the mathematical sciences.

Statistical Methods for Human Rights Human rights issues are shaping the modern world. They define the expectations by which nations are judged and affect the policy of governments, corporations, and foundations. They have set the agenda in prosecutions at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, funding decisions by the International Monetary Fund, and corporate expansion programs by multinationals. Statistics is central to the modern perspective on human rights. It allows researchers to measure the effect of health care policies, the penetration of educational opportunity, and progress towards gender equality. The new wave of entrepreneurial charities demands impact assessments and documentation of milestone achievement. Non-governmental organizations need statistics to build cases, conduct surveys, and target their efforts.

Features 7 Brings together a collection of papers on statistics and human rights 7 No other book on the market addresses this subject matter

Studying Human Populations

Uncertainty Forecasting in Engineering

An Advanced Course in Statistics

Studying Human Populations is a textbook for graduate students and research workers in social statistics and related subject areas. It follows a novel curriculum developed around the basic statistical activities: sampling, measurement and inference. Statistics is defined broadly as making decisions in the presence of uncertainty that arise as a consequence of limited resources available for collecting information. A connecting link of the presented methods is the perspective of missing information, catering for a diverse class of problems that include nonresponse, imperfect measurement and causal inference. In principle, any problem too complex for our limited analytical toolkit could be converted to a tractable problem if some additional information were available. Ingenuity is called for in declaring such (missing) information constructively, but the universe of problems that we can address is wide open, not limited by a discrete set of procedures.

Features

This book provides an introduction to uncertainty forecasting based on fuzzy time series. Observations of uncertainty in measured data with time improves forecasting capability in a wide range of fields such as civil engineering and environmental science. Uncertain data are described by means of a completely new incremental fuzzy representation that allows the complete and accurate estimation of uncertainty by combining description, modeling, and forecasting of fuzzy time series for the first time. Descriptive, modeling, and forecasting methods for fuzzy time series are introduced and explained in detail. Emphasis is placed on forecasting based on fuzzy random processes such as fuzzy ARMA processes and fuzzy white-noise processes as well as forecasting involving fuzzy neuronal networks. The fact that all numerical algorithms are clearly described and demonstrated by way of examples means that they may be directly implemented for practical applications. This is shown by means of practical examples.

An Introduction to Copulas Copulas are functions that join multivariate distribution functions to their one-dimensional margins. The study of copulas and their role in statistics is a new but vigorously growing field. In this book the student or practitioner of statistics and probability will find discussions of the fundamental properties of copulas and some of their primary applications. The applications include the study of dependence and measures of association, and the construction of families of bivariate distributions. With 116 examples, 54 figures, and 167 exercises, this book is suitable as a text or for self-study. The only prerequisite is an upper level undergraduate course in probability and mathematical statistics, although some familiarity with nonparametric statistics would be useful. Knowledge of measuretheoretic probability is not required. The revised second edition includes new sections on extreme value copulas, tail dependence, and quasi-copulas.

Modern Portfolio Optimization with NuOPT™, S-PLUS®, and S+Bayes™ In recent years portfolio optimization and construction methodologies have become an increasingly critical ingredient of asset and fund management, while at the same time portfolio risk assessment has become an essential ingredient in risk management, and this trend will only accelerate in the coming years. Unfortunately there is a large gap between the limited treatment of portfolio construction methods that are presented in most university courses with relatively little hands-on experience and limited computing tools, and the rich and varied aspects of portfolio construction that are used in practice in the finance industry. Current practice demands the use of modern methods of portfolio construction that go well beyond the classical Markowitz mean-variance optimality theory and require the use of powerful scalable numerical optimization methods.

Wikis are Web-based applications that allow all users not only to view pages but also to change them. The success of the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia has drawn increasing attention from private users, small organizations and enterprises to the various possible uses of wikis. Their simple structure and straightforward operation make them a serious alternative to expensive content management systems and also provide a basis for many applications in the area of collaborative work. We show the practical use of wikis in carrying out projects for users as well as for maintainers. This includes a step-by-step introduction to wiki philosophy, social effects and functions, a survey of their controls and components, and the installation and configuration of the wiki clones MediaWiki and TWiki. In order to exemplify the possibilities of the software, we use it as a project tool for planning a conference.

High Performance Computing History, Concepts, and Implementation

High Performance Computing (HPC) is the area of supercomputers, the fastest and best systems of their time. Most supercomputers are used to solve scientific problems, be it weather forecasting, simulation of car crashes or wind tunnels, modeling of proteins in bio-chemical research, or for simulation of atom-bomb tests. The book deals with systems that are in practical use for such application areas. In the first part, the history of supercomputers is described, and it is shown which properties and trends will remain in the future. The second part describes all aspects of High Performance Computing, from chip technology over computer and cluster architecture, up to software, algorithms, and applications. The third part explores the practice of HPC planning: system selection, benchmarks, acceptance tests, and implementation of HPC environments. Finally, the book closes with an outlook on current trends and visions like Grid Computing.

Multi-agent systems are one of the most exciting research areas in Artificial Intelligence. In the last ten years there has been a growing interest in the application of agent-based systems in health care. Moreover, a growing European community of researchers interested in the application of intelligent agents in health care emerged as a result of the activities within the AgentCities.NET European network and the AgentLink III Technical Forum Group on Healthcare Applications of Intelligent Agents. And specially in R and D projects funded during the FP6. Thus, this book reports on the results achieved in this area, discuss the benefits (and drawbacks) that agent-based systems may bring to medical domains and society, and also to provide a list of the research topics that should be tackled in the near future to make the deployment of health-care agent-based systems a reality.

Hot Topics in Autonomic Computing Policy-based computing is one of many techniques used to implement autonomic computer systems. The business function is expressed in terms of workflow (logic + actions) or behavioural rules to be performed in response to certain situations, which is decoupled from the implementation mechanism. The mechanisms are fixed at design time, but the actual run-time behaviour is decided by the policy. This facilitates contextual awareness as the policy may take account of various environmental inputs from sensors and external software systems. Policy-based mechanisms are also very useful in specifying system behaviour - such as when specifying Service Level Agreements, and subsequently monitoring whether these agreements have been adhered to. Policy-based configuration is highly versatile and generally applicable across a very wide application space. When compared with other autonomics techniques, policies represent one of the lowest risk and lowest cost solutions; because there is relatively low complexity.

Web 2.0

Multicore-Architekturen

Der Begriff „Web 2.0“ ist mittlerweile nahezu allgegenwärtig. Doch auch wenn er Einzug in diverse Stellenausschreibungen und Nachrichtenmeldungen gehalten hat, scheint doch den wenigsten Leuten klar zu sein, was er genau zu bedeuten hat. Diese Frage zu beantworten und die jeweiligen Hintergründe aufzuzeigen ist das Ziel des ersten Teils dieses Buches. Zudem wird ein Einblick in die relevanten Technologien gegeben. Neben AJaX werden hierbei auch die Grundlagen von RSS und Webservices praktisch vorgestellt, so dass der unerfahrene Leser nach dieser Lektüre ein grundlegendes Verständnis für die relevanten Aspekte der heutigen Internetlandschaft haben wird.

Alle Hersteller von Standard-Mikroprozessoren bieten seit 2005 „Multicore-Architekturen“ an, bei denen auf einem Prozessorchip zwei oder mehr Prozessoren realisiert sind. Das Buch führt in die Multicore-Technologie, deren Organisation und Architektur, ein. Besonderer Wert wird dabei auf die Vorstellung der verschiedenen bislang realisierten und verfügbaren Prozessoren gelegt. Ein Kapitel über Parallele Programmierung und Systemsoftware runden das Buch ab.

AJAX

Multicore: Parallele Programmierung

Geschichte, Technologie, Zukunft

In den letzen Jahren entwickelte sich das World Wide Web (WWW) stetig weiter. Jüngst geprägte Begriffe, wie Web 2.0 und AJAX, haben sich in der Welt der modernen Webentwicklung etabliert und werden von interessierten Webentwicklern und Webbenutzern mit Begeisterung aufgenommen. Das erhöhte Interesse, welches AJAX aktuell genießt, ist auf visuell attraktive und hochinteraktive Web-Applikationen zurückzuführen, die in ihrem Verhalten Desktop-Anwendungen ähneln. Doch was genau steckt hinter diesem neuen Schlagwort? Dieser Frage wird in diesem Buch nachgegangen. Dabei wird auf einfache und nachvollvollziehbare Weise untersucht, ob es sich tatsächlich um eine neuartige und „revolutionäre“ Webtechnologie handelt, oder ob AJAX vielmehr ein Produkt bereits bestehender und bekannter Technologien darstellt, welches bloß unter einer neuen Bezeichnung eingeführt wurde. Ferner sind die Motive für das aktuelle Interesse an AJAX ausführlich dargestellt.

This book illustrates how to deal with complex media and convert raw data into useful information. Once the original data have been converted into a digital representation, the processing of different media can be performed under the unifying framework of machine learning. Therefore only part of the information extraction processes is media specific and most work can be made by applying general techniques valid for a wide range of problems. Apparently very different domains like face verification and text categorization become, from a processing point of view, equivalent. Organized into 3 parts: The 1st focuses on technical aspects, basic mathematical notions and elementary machine learning techniques. The 2nd provides an extensive survey of most relevant machine learning techniques for media processing. The 3rd focuses on applications and shows how techniques are applied in actual problems.

Features 7 Provides detailed introductions to algorithms and examples of their applications 7 Domains that appear far from one another such as speech and handwriting recognition are shown to be equivalent from the processing point of view, via the unifying framework of machine learning 7 Supplies detailed appendices reviewing the basic background 7 Provides pointers to publicly available data and software packages used in examples and problems

All About Maude A High-Performance Logical Framework How to Specify, Program, and Verify Systems in Rewriting Logic

This monograph gives a comprehensive account of Maude, a language and system based on rewriting logic. Maude and its formal tool environment can be used in three mutually reinforcing ways: as a declarative programming language, as an executable formal specification language, and as a formal verification system. Maude is used in many institutions around the world for teaching, research, and formal modeling and analysis of concurrent and distributed systems. Many examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the main ideas, features, and uses of Maude. The book comes with a CD-ROM containing the complete Maude 2.3 software distribution (including source code), a pdf version of this monograph, and the executable Maude code for all the examples in the book.

The kernel of any operating system is its most critical component. The remainder of the system depends upon a correctly functioning and reliable kernel for its operation. The purpose of this book is to show that the formal specification of kernels can be followed by a completely formal refinement process that leads to the extraction of executable code. The formal refinement process ensures that the code meets the specification in a precise sense. Two kernels are specified and refined. The first is small and of the kind often used in embedded and real-time systems. It closely resembles the one modelled in our Formal Models of Operating System Kernels. The second is a Separation Kernel, a microkernel architecture devised for cryptographic and other secure applications. Both kernels are refined to the point at which executable code can be extracted. Apart from documenting the process, including proofs, this book also shows how refinement of a realistically sized specification can be undertaken.

Part of the new series, Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China, this book proposes the concept and model of a process neural network for the first time, showing how it expands the mapping relationship between the input and output of traditional neural networks, and enhancing the expression capability for practical problems, with broad applicability to solving problems relating to process in practice. Some theoretical problems such as continuity, functional approximation capability, and computing capability, are strictly proved. The application methods, network construction principles, and optimization algorithms of process neural networks in practical fields, such as nonlinear time-varying system modeling, process signal pattern recognition, dynamic system identification, and process forecast, are introduced in detail. There are rich illustrations for information processing flow and the mapping relationship between inputs and outputs of process neural networks.

A Perceptual Introduction

Mathematical Linguistics

Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems Paradigms

The current documentation of mental ray in Rendering with mental ray and Programming mental ray is uniquely thorough in its description of mental ray’s features and programmable extensibility. However, with the increasing use of mental ray by artists and programmers in visual effects and broadcast production, a different description of mental ray’s extensibility is required, an approach that takes the aesthetics of rendering into account. “Writing mental ray shaders” describes the varieties of shader programming from the point of view of increasing perceptual complexity: from color, to the effects of light, to the manipulation of shape, to the output of the final image. This is not a documentation organized around the structure of software, but rather based on our perception of the visual world. Other features of the book are also designed for programmers in production. Many intermediate programmers work from examples they use as templates for their own programs.

Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing. The book presents linguistics as a cumulative body of knowledge from the ground up: no prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed. Previous textbooks in this area concentrate on syntax and semantics - this comprehensive volume covers an extremely rich array of topics also including phonology and morphology, probabilistic approaches, complexity, learnability, and the analysis of speech and handwriting. As the first textbook of its kind, this book is useful for those in information science (information retrieval and extraction, search engines) and in natural language technologies (speech recognition, optical character recognition, HCI). Exercises suitable for the advanced reader are included, as well as suggestions for further reading and an extensive bibliography.

Issues in Multi-Agent Systems Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science From Research to Practice The agent paradigm has been a subject of research for the last years, and the purpose of this book is to present current status of this technology by looking at its application in different domains, such as electronic markets, e-tourism, ambience intelligence, and complex system analysis. It starts by discussing software engineering issues for the development of multi-agent systems, how much it costs to build a multi-agent system, and which methods and tools are currently available. Next chapters present some of the most relevant aspects that are considered for the development of multi-agent systems: ubiquitous computing, learning and planning, trust and security, electronic institutions and swarm intelligence. Last chapters focus on concrete applications of physical agents and e-tourism applications, to illustrate how to integrate the previously discussed aspects. The book is written by researchers with experience in technology transfer, and therefore it is oriented to practice.

Object-Oriented Programming and Java presents two important topics in contemporary software development: object-oriented programming and Java. This book takes a different teaching approach from most available literature, it begins with the description of real-world object interaction scenarios and explains how they can be translated, represented and executed using object-oriented programming paradigm. Principally, Java is an object-oriented programming language. By establishing a solid foundation in the understanding of object-oriented programming concepts and their applications, the book provides readers with the pre-requisites for writing proper object-oriented programs using Java. Object-Oriented Programming and Java covers the latest in Java technologies and is suitable for undergraduate or postgraduate courses on objectoriented technology, and in particular, using Java as a programming language for creating objectoriented programs.

Biometrics technology continues to stride forward with its wider acceptance and its perceived need in various new security facets of modern society. Biometrics is being required to meet the growing challenges of identity management. While biometrics finds use in all diverse applications, the research challenges continue to grow as the user community expects a fully automatic system to cover the whole universal population with almost no errors. Recent advances in biometrics include new developments in sensors, modalities and algorithms. As new sensors are designed, newer challenges emerge in the algorithms for accurate recognition. New modalities have been discovered in addition to the fusion of existing modalities to improve accuracy and wider coverage. Written for researchers, advanced students and practitioners to use as a handbook, this volume captures the very latest state-of-the-art research contributions from leading international researchers in the field.

Business Process Management Concepts, Methods, Technology

Business process management is usually treated from two different perspectives: business administration and computer science. While business administration professionals tend to consider information technology as a subordinate aspect for experts to handle, by contrast computer scientists often consider business goals and organizational regulations as terms that do not deserve much thought but require the appropriate level of abstraction. Mathias Weske argues that the communities involved need to share a common understanding of the principles underlying business process management. To this end, he develops an overall picture that describes core BPM concepts and technologies and explains their relationships. This picture covers high-level business aspects like business goals, strategies, and value chains, but it concentrates on process modeling techniques and process enactment platforms, taking into account the different stakeholders involved.

Principles and Practice

Foods are unique among materials of our daily life in that they are ingested and become part of our body. Food Materials Science: Principles and Practice describes the science and procedure behind the materials in foods that impart their desirable properties. The first part explains those physicochemical aspects that intervene in the organization of food components from the molecular level to actual products and the methods used to probe into foods at different length scales. The second part presents how food structures are assembled during processing in order to achieve desirable and recognizable properties. Processed foods are mostly meta-stable structures in which water, air, and lipids are immobilized as dispersed phases within a polymeric matrix of proteins, polysaccharides, or a fat crystal network. The last section shows specific examples of how structures of familiar products are obtained by processing and describe some new developments.

Features 7 Great as a text in a course in food materials science at the senior or graduate level or as a supplemental text in an advanced food technology course 7 Will serve as a reference book for professionals in the food industry

Biodiesel A Realistic Fuel Alternative for Diesel Engines

Environmental and political concerns are generating a growing interest in alternative engine fuels such as biodiesel. Biodiesel is a renewable energy source produced from natural oils and fats, which can be used as a substitute for petroleum diesel without the need for diesel engine modification. In addition to being biodegradable and non-toxic, biodiesel is also essentially free of sulfur and aromatics, producing lower exhaust emissions than conventional gasoline whilst providing similar properties in terms of fuel efficiency. The greatest drawback of using pure vegetable oils as fuels are their high viscosity, although this can be reduced by techniques such as dilution, microemulsification, pyrolysis or transesterification. Of these processes, the transesterification of vegetable oil triglycerides in supercritical methanol has been shown to be particularly promising, producing high yields of low-viscosity methyl esters without the need of a catalyst.

Features 7 Describes the production and characterisation of biodiesel, along with current experimental research work in the field

Handbuch Logistik

Hydropneumatische Federungssysteme

Logistik ist unzweifelhaft ein Schlüssel zur erfolgreichen Innovation in der Wirtschaft und Industrie. Ingenieure und Betriebswirte treten bislang mit eigenen Modellen und eigenen grundlegenden Veröffentlichungen an, um das Wissen der Gegenwart an der Praxis zu messen und zu erweitern. Mit diesem Handbuch legen beide Richtungen ein gemeinsames Grundwerk vor, das der Klärung der Inhalte und Aufgaben und der Fortschreibung der Innovationen dient. Organisation, insbesondere Neuorganisation, braucht Modelle, technologisches Grundwissen, den Abgleich mit der Praxis und die Abstraktion. Mit diesem Handbuch ist das umfassende Nachschlagewerk verfügbar; thematisch, nicht begrifflich geordnet, dient es jedem innovativ denkenden und in strategische Planungen involvierten Logistiker zur Standortbestimmung, Anregung für neue Lösungen, als Leitfaden und Messlatte.

Dieses Buch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über hydropneumatische Federungssysteme –Systeme, welche die positiven Federungseigenschaften von Gasfedern mit den Dämpfungseigenschaften einer Hydraulikflüssigkeit koppeln. Mit einer hydropneumatischen Federung werden also stets Federung und Dämpfung quasi „in Tateinheit“ realisiert, was in vielen Bereichen, wie zum Beispiel dem Fahrzeugbau, große Vorteile bietet. Ausgehend von einem Vergleich verschiedener Federungssysteme erläutert der Autor den theoretischen Hintergrund der Federungs- und Dämpfungseigenschaften hydropneumatischer Systeme, stellt die Konstruktionselemente dar, gibt einen Überblick über die Niveauregulierung und beschreibt wichtige Sonderfunktionen. Schließlich wird die Technologie anhand von Konstruktionsbeispielen aus der Fahrwerkstechnik illustriert und ein Ausblick auf künftige Entwicklungen gegeben.

A thorough yet understandable introduction to the boundary element method, an attractive alternative to the finite element method, is presented. The unique feature of the book is that it not only explains the theory but also the implementation of the theory into computer code. The code in FORTRAN 95 can be downloaded free of charge. The issue of efficiently using parallel processing hardware in order to considerably speed up the computations for large Systems is also addressed. The applications range form problems of heat and fluid flow to static and dynamic elasto-plastic problems in continuum mechanics. After each chapter several exercises are shown and this makes it suitable as a teaching material in a class on the BEM. Several applications of the method to industrial problems are included, that show the advantage over other methods.

Nonlinear Observers and Applications

The problem of state reconstruction in dynamical systems, known as observer problem, is undoubtedly crucial for controlling or just monitoring processes. For linear systems, the corresponding theory has been quite well established for several years now, and the purpose of the present book is to propose an overview on possible tools in that respect for nonlinear systems. Basic observability notions and observer structures are first recalled, together with ingredients for advanced designs on this basis. A special attention is then paid to the well-known high gain techniques with a summary of various corresponding recent results. A focus on the celebrated Extended Kalman filter is also given, in the perspectives of both nonlinear filtering and high gain observers, leading to so-called adaptive-gain observers. The more specific immersion approach for observer design is then emphasized, while optimization-based methods are also presented as an alternative to analytic observers.

Waves in Nonlinear PreStressed Materials

Classical silicon semiconductor technology has arrived at a dead end called the “end of the roadmap”. A new class of devices allows the industry to push device miniaturization beyond that limit. These devices are multi-gate field-effect transistors (MuGFETs). The FinFET belongs to that category of devices. This book explains the physics and properties of these devices, how they are made and how circuit designers can use them to improve the performances of integrated circuits. It covers the emergence of quantum effects and novel electrical transport phenomena due to the reduced size of the devices. In addition this book describes the evolution of the MOS transistor from classical structures to SOI (silicon-on-insulator) and then to MuGFETs. Descriptions of the technological challenges and options, including a physically based compact model, that are presented by these devices are included. Two chapters are devoted to the most advanced models of MuGFET properties based on quantum modeling.

The papers in this book provide a unique state-ofthe-art multidisciplinary overview on the subject of waves in pre-stressed materials through the interaction of several topics, ranging from the mathematical modelling of incremental material response (elastic and inelastic), to the analysis of the governing differential equations and boundaryvalue problems, and to computational methods for the solution to these problems, with particular reference to industrial, geophysical, and biomechanical applications. A complete view on the title subject is proposed, including: The basic and fundamental theoretical issues (mechanical modelling, exact solutions, asymptotic methods, numerical treatment); A unified introduction to wave propagation (small on large and large on large); A look toward classical (such as geophysics and the mechanics of rubberlike solids) and emergent (such as biomechanics) applications.

Complexity Explained

Cognitive Wireless Networks

This book explains why complex systems research is important in understanding the structure, function and dynamics of complex natural and social phenomena. It illuminates how complex collective behavior emerges from the parts of a system, due to the interaction between the system and its environment. You will learn the basic concepts and methods of complex system research. It is shown that very different complex phenomena of nature and society can be analyzed and understood by nonlinear dynamics since many systems of very different fields, such as physics, chemistry, biology, economics, psychology and sociology etc. have similar architecture. “Complexity Explained” is not highly technical and mathematical, but teaches and uses the basic mathematical notions of dynamical system theory making the book useful for students of science majors and graduate courses, but it should be readable for a more general audience; actually for those, who ask: What complex systems really are?

Features 7 One of the flagships of the “Springer Complexity” program 7 Everything understandable about complexity and nonlinear systems 7 Author is coauthor to Michael Arbib of the well known book “Neural Organization - Structure Function, and Dynamics” (MIT Press 1997)

Concepts, Methodologies and Visions Inspiring the Age of Enlightenment of Wireless Communications

In the Age of Enlightenment the German philosopher Immanuel Kant encouraged people to use their own mind as the basis for reasoning instead of following dogmatic religious rules. - Sapere aude! - This book advocates the idea of breaking up the cellular communication architecture introducing cooperative strategies among wireless devices. To exploit this cross-over to the fullest extent and to handle the upcoming dynamic network configurations, the key to success is cognitive wireless networking. Cognitive Wireless Networks is divided into different parts dealing with cooperative and cognitive aspects for future wireless communication networks. Chapters by world leading researchers in the field cover, among others, socially and biologically inspired behavior applied to wireless networks, peer-to-peer networking, cognitive radio or more generally cognitive networks, cooperative networks, game theory, spectrum sensing and management.

Features 7 Contains “hot” topics and emerging research concepts 7 First volume mostly dealt with rather well studied (but new) concepts 7 This second volume focuses on upcoming ideas and technologies, some of them already hot topics and some of them clearly becoming the hot topics of the future

Oil and Security: Sands over Arabia A World beyond Petroleum

This book discusses the demise of the unreliable and risk prone use of solid and liquid fossil fuel and the development of a sustainable world energy system which assures environmental quality and an equitable socio-economic system. Although more sources of oil are becoming available, supply of oil is becoming increasingly less secure. Increasing petroleum costs, supply uncertainties, political factors, and environmental damage are forcing a radical move towards alternative fossil fuels such as natural gas and tar sand/shale extracted oil, bio-fuels, and alternative energy sources using wind, hydrogen, hydro, solar, and others. This book provides an up-todate review of the socio-economic, political, and environmental factors forcing a new approach to global energy developments and use, as well as a review of the alternative fuel and energy conversion technology developments which will drive future energy use towards a cleaner, sustainable, and more secure future.

Features 7 Approaches energy policy and development from a risk, safety, reliability impact point of view and shows how and why alternative energy development will soon over take petroleum as a dominant fuel source 7 Up-to-date review of energy alternatives, their development potentials, costs, and environmental impacts

Service Quality Regulation in Electricity Distribution and Retail

Atmospheric Re-Entry Vehicle Application of the Finite Mechanics Element Method in Implant Dentistry

Service Quality Regulation in Electricity Distribution and Retail provides a guide for regulatory authorities and postgraduate students alike, accompanying readers through the necessary steps for designing and implementing regulatory policy. It builds a bridge between the theoretical aspects of service quality regulation and country-specific applied mechanisms. The book offers examples as provided by regulatory authorities (including some not often available in the English language), and suggests best practices as elaborated by a number of international regulatory organizations. The book is a comprehensive, clear, well-organized description of applied quality regulation in the electricity sector as it is, today. Advanced readers will also appreciate its survey of the most innovative regulatory mechanisms currently being employed (and tested) in European countries, as well as those that have been proposed in the literature.

Ballistic reentry vehicles, capsules and planetary probes are the fastest human designed objects to fly through planet’s atmospheres. With velocities over Mach 20, RV’s have to dissipate a huge kinetic energy, and environment may exceed 100 g’s at center of mass, 100 bars stagnation pressure and 100 MW/m2 on nosetip. Design of thermal protection system is a formidable material engineering problem. Vehicle conception covers large discipline realms, among which Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics are essential as they only can provide necessary aeroshell shape, mass and inertia properties and tolerances to achieve adequate environment and trajectory performance. Capsules and probes have different missions and entry conditions but approaches and methods are identical. Based on a long engineering experience, this book offers a comprehensive and state of the art analysis of aerodynamic and flight mechanic entry topics.

Die Vision der Supra-Adaptivität Ein ganz besonderes Problem, das sich heute den Automobilherstellern, ihren Zulieferern und Dienstleistern stellt, ist die extrem zunehmende Volatilität und Entwicklungsgeschwindigkeit ihrer Märkte und Produkte. In diesem Zusammenhang wird die Entwicklung und Verfügbarkeit zukunftssicherer Logistiksysteme immer mehr zu einem entscheidenden Wettbewerbs- und Erfolgsfaktor. Die Logistik wird zum Enabler einer hocheffizienten und flexiblen Fertigung einerseits, in Bezug auf die Servicequalität auch zum Garant einer erfolgreichen Kundenbeziehung andererseits. Sie fungiert dabei als verbindendes Element innerhalb sowie auch außerhalb der Unternehmensgrenzen. Dementsprechend ergeben sich auf kurz-, mittel- oder auch langfristige Sicht ständig neue Anforderungen an die Adaptivität der Wertschöpfungsprozesse. Zur Bewältigung dieser Anforderungen bedarf es eines umfassenden Konzeptes, beschrieben unter der Vision der Supra-Adaptivität.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology has been touted as the future of personal wireless communication applications. By communicating via short nanosecond pulses, UWB systems promise low power, high data rate communication while providing fine resolution in the time domain. In contrast to UWB, existing narrowband WLAN systems operates by modulating data onto a continuous carrier with strong transmitted power. Due to pulses’ low power spectrum density (PSD) and high resolution in the time domain, UWB systems are particularly suited to short to medium range wireless communications as they offer high speed data transfer with precise location awareness, immunity to multipath fading, and multiuser capabilities.

Features 7 With numerous wireless technologies competing for a piece of the market share, it is imperative that future technologies provide unique performance advantages while making portable wireless devices smaller, cheaper and consume less power 7 Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology has been touted as the future of personal wireless communication applications

Fabrication, Packaging and Integration of MEMS and Related Microsystems Today‘s artificially intelligent systems are fabricated using sub-micron scale devices in micro and meso packages, primarily using electric signals and interfacing to the macroscopic level using the logic of programming. While packaging was once considered secondary, it has now developed its own standards throughout the world. This book discusses the three key features for next generation application specific systems-on-a-chip (SOC): Mixed Signals, Mixed Environmental Domains, and Varying Scales of Devices and Packaging Components. This book also addresses some of the non-traditional developments of MEMS and their applications.

Semiconductor Device Physics and Design Over the last few years one of the most exciting new entries in device engineering has been the GaN based devices that provide new possibilities for lighting, displays and wireless communications. New physics based on polar charges and polar interfaces have become as important as a result of the nitrides. In this book the authors start out with basic physics concepts including the physics behind polar heterostructures and strained heterostructures. They then discuss the important devices ranging from p-n diodes to bipolar and field effect devices. An important distinction users will find is the discussion on interrelated device parameters on system function.

Features 7 No other books on market dedicated to packaging and integration of MEMS and related microsystems

Fields of interest Electronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation; Optical and Electronic Materials; Engineering Design

Features 7 Device dimensions and geometrics are now such that one cannot solve device problems analytically 7 Simulators do not allow students to see the physics of the problem and how intelligent choices on doping, geometry and heterostructures will impact devices 7 Carefully discusses and presents analytical models and then provides simulation based advanced results

Distributed Consensus in Multi-vehicle Cooperative Control Theory and Applications

Information consensus guarantees that robot vehicles sharing information over a network topology have a consistent view of information critical to the coordination task. Assuming only neighbor-neighbor interaction between vehicles, this monograph develops distributed consensus strategies designed to ensure that the information states of all vehicles in a network converge to a common value. This approach strengthens the team, minimizing power consumption and the effects of range and other restrictions. The monograph covers introductory, theoretical and experimental material, featuring - an overview of the use of consensus algorithms in cooperative control; - consensus algorithms in singleand double-integrator, and rigid-body-attitude dynamics; - rendezvous and axial alignment, formation control, deep-space formation flying, fire monitoring and surveillance. Six appendices cover material drawn from graph, matrix, linear and nonlinear systems theories.

Features 7 Lays out the theoretical principles of co-ordinated control together with their experimental application 7 Shows the reader how to deal with groups of autonomous vehicles in aerial, terrestrial and submarine environments 7 Provides the tools to overcome impaired communication using constantly up-dated neighbor-neighbor interchange

“Verkehr ohne Leittechnik ist wie Laufen im Dunkeln“, so beschreibt der Autor Schnieder den Sachverhalt zutreffend. Komplexe Verkehrsströme, die Personen und Güter sicher und zügig an ihr Ziel bringen sollen, sind ohne Leittechnik dem Zufall überlassen, nicht planbar. Verkehrsleittechnik hat die Beherrschung komplexer Verkehrsströme auf den Netzen des Straßen- und Schienenverkehrs mit regelnder Einflussnahme zum Ziel. Zum Entwurf dieser Beeinflussung und ihrer Realisierung mit technischen Einrichtungen, wird eine solide Grundlage für eine adäquate Modellierung der Verkehrssysteme vermittelt. Das Verhalten der Verkehrssysteme und der angepassten Steuerungs- und Sicherungsfunktionen mit Sensoren, Automatisierungseinrichtungen und Stellgliedern weist eine große Detailfülle auf. Zur Bearbeitung dieser komplexen Thematik stehen ordnende Strukturen und Konzepte im Mittelpunkt des Buchs, die über den raschen Technologiewandel hinaus Gültigkeit haben.

In the biomedical field, biomedical imaging has come to be a discipline of its own, given the nature of its applications in the understanding of the human body and medical diagnostics. The understanding of Deformable Models are the significant utility on biomedical imagery primarily because of its ability to perform efficient topology preservation and fast shape recovery. This has dominated the binary, grayscale and color imaging frameworks, which the eye can perceive. It has not only the ability to find boundaries and surfaces that are deep-seated in 2-D and 3-D volumes respectively, but also provide satisfactory solutions for the completion of cognitive objects with missing boundaries. Deformable Models: Theory and Biomaterial Applications focuses on the core image processing techniques: theory and biomaterials useful to research and industry.

Multi-Band RF Front-Ends with Adaptive Image Rejection A DECT/Bluetooth Case Study

The design and use of multi-standard RF transceivers is the way to increase hardware flexibility and functionality, as well as to improve the flexibility of set-makers on the market. In the design of multi-standard RF transceivers the efforts will be directed towards improvement of hardware reusability, reconfigurability, programmability and flexibility. This will result in the launching of a software-defined radio. Since the radio environment is variable, the application of adaptivity in RF transceivers results in the reduction of their power consumption. Eventually, it is reasonable to believe that RF front-ends will be smart in the sense that they will be able to monitor the radio environment and to adapt themselves to the changes in this environment paving the way for a cognitive radio.

Features 7 Problems and solutions in the design of multistandard RF front-ends on the system, circuit and implementation level have been addressed 7 Problems, solutions and cost-effectiveness related to implementation of adaptivity in RF front-ends have been addressed 7 Problems and solutions related to operation of CMOS electronic circuits at low supply voltages have been addressed 7 Problems and solutions for optimising RF electronic circuits have been addressed

IUTAM Symposium on Computational Methods in Contact Mechanics Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Hannover, Germany, November 5-8, 2006

There is still room for research in computational contact mechanics, hence engineering analysis includes unilateral constraints when a detailed modelling of a problem is needed. The aim of the symposium was to bring scientists together who work on the frontier of research in computational contact mechanics, or in closely related subjects. 37 scientists presented their newest findings in the area of discretization techniques for contact, algorithms and interesting numerical simulations of contact problems. Topics treated included new mathematical techniques like multi-level approaches, new discretization techniques like the mortar-method, advanced applications of unilateral contact to masonry structures, decohesion analysis and tractive rolling of tires.

A detailed, yet accessible introduction to quantum decoherence!

Decoherence and the Quantum-To-Classical Transition Maximilian A. Schlosshauer, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Unique in its wide range of the covered material, this book emphasizes foundational implications without neglecting detailed descriptions of experiments and applications This detailed but accessible text introduces the concepts of decoherence and explains how this phenomenon is responsible for the emergence, from the realm of quantum mechanics, of the classical world of our experience. It elucidates, among other things: How decoherence is ubiquitious in nature and virtually inescapable; How recent experiments have conﬁrmed the puzzling consequences of the quantum superposition principle and have made the gradual disappearance of „Schrödinger kittens“ directly observable; How decoherence may be tamed to realize a quantum computer; How decoherence impacts the various interpretations of quantum mechanics, and how it may provide solutions to long-standing foundational problems of the quantum theory; How processes in our brain are aﬀected by decoherence, and what this means for our status as an observer in a quantum world. Included are also detailed discussions of master equations and decoherence models. Accessible to all readers with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this stimulating book will be an indispensable resource for newcomers and experts alike. Reads like a bestseller. An engaging and intuitive treatment of a very important subject, combining the scope of a monograph with the clarity of a textbook and the intellectual excitement of a Sherlock Holmes adventure Wojciech Zurek, Los Alamos 2007 Approx. 455 p. 30 illus.

Catastrophic Events Caused by Cosmic Objects Many times all of us could hear from mass media that an asteroid approached and swept past the Earth. Such an asteroid or comet will inevitably strike the planet some day. This volume considers hazards due to collisions with cosmic objects, particularly in light of recent investigations of impacts by the authors. Each chapter written by an expert contains an overview of an aspect and new findings in the field. The main hazardous effects – cratering, shock, aerial and seismic waves, fires, ejection of dust and soot, tsunami are described and numerically estimated. Numerical simulations of impacts and impact consequences have received much attention in the book. Fairly small impacting objects 50 -100 m in diameter pose a real threat to humanity and their influence on the atmosphere and ionosphere is emphasized. Especially vulnerable are industrially developed areas with dense population, almost all Europe is one of them.

Features 7 Comprehensive overview of the impact effects threatening to mankind 7 Consideration of most interesting and important problems in the field 7 New aspects of the problem of asteroidal hazards 7 Sophisticated numerical simulations of impacts

Lectures in Supercomputational Neurosciences Dynamics in Complex Brain Networks

These notes are designed as a text book for a course on the Modern Physics Theory for undergraduate students. The purpose is providing a rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework using elementary mathematical tools. A number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of exercises and answered questions are also given. The first part is devoted to Special Relativity concerning in particular space-time relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with Schroedinger’s formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly one dimensional problems, in particular tunnel effect, discrete energy levels and band spectra. The third part concerns the application of Gibbs statistical methods to quantum systems and in particular to Bose and Fermi gasses.

Fields of interest

Computational Neurosciences is a burgeoning field of research where only the combined effort of neuroscientists, biologists, psychologists, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and other specialists, e.g. from linguistics and medicine, seem to be able to expand the limits of our knowledge. The present volume is an introduction, largely from the physicists’ perspective, to the subject matter with in-depth contributions by system neuroscientists. A conceptual model for complex networks of neurons is introduced that incorporates many important features of the real brain, such as various types of neurons, various brain areas, inhibitory and excitatory coupling and the plasticity of the network. The computational implementation on supercomputers, which is introduced and discussed in detail in this book, will enable the readers to modify and adapt the algortihm for their own research.

Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Biology and Medicine

Econophysics of Markets and Business Networks

Sources of ultrashort laser pulses are nowadays commercially available and have entered many areas of research and development. This book gives an overview of biological and medical applications of these laser pulses. The briefness of these laser pulses permits the tracing of the fastest processes in photo-active bio-systems, which is one focus of the book. The other focus is applications that rely on the high peak intensity of ultrashort laser pulses. Examples covered span non-linear imaging techniques, optical tomography, and laser surgery.

Econophysicists have recently been quite successful in modelling and analysing various financial systems like trading, banking, stock and other markets. The statistical behaviour of the underlying networks in these systems have also been identified and characterised recently. This book reviews the current econophysics researches in the structure and functioning of these complex financial network systems. Leading researchers in the respective fields will report on their recent researches and review on the contemporary developments. The book will also include the comments and debates on the latest issues arising out of these

Features 7 Covers the major developments in the application of ultrafast lasers in medicine and biology 7 Deals with optical analysis, processes in biology and surgery and ophtalmology 7 Valuable reference to researchers and medical practitioners alike

Kodai School on Solar Physics

A Primer We are living in an ever more complex world, an epoch where human actions can accordingly acquire far-reaching potentialities. Complex and adaptive dynamical systems are ubiquitous in the world surrounding us and require us to adapt to new realities and the way of dealing with them. This primer has been developed with the aim of conveying a wide range of “commons-sense” knowledge in the field of quantitative complex system science at an introductory level, providing an entry point to this both fascinating and vitally important subject. The approach is modular and phenomenology driven. Examples of emerging phenomena of generic importance treated in this book are: The small world phenomenon in social and scale-free networks; Phase transitions and self-organized criticality in adaptive systems; Life at the edge of chaos and coevolutionary avalanches resulting from the unfolding of all living; The concept of living dynamical systems and emotional diffusive control within cognitive system theory.

Features

The Kodaikanal School on Solar Physics offered and intensive two week course on topics related to the Physics of the Sun. The school had a truly international character and was attended by both students and lecturers from different parts of the globe. The course was aimed at Ph.D. students or final year M.Sc (physics) students interested in solar physics and who want to pursue it further. The purpose of the school was to provide an introduction to solar physics for students who do not have an opportunity to take such a course at their homeinstitutions. There were 42 lectures, 5 evening seminars, 10 observation oriented projects, and three computer lab exercises. The students were given the opportunity to observe the Sun with the existing facilities in the observatory.

Quantum Kinetics in Transport and Optics of Semiconductors Nanoscale miniaturization and femtosecond laserpulse spectroscopy require a quantum mechanical description of the carrier kinetics that goes beyond the conventional Boltzmann theory. On these extremely short length and time scales, the electrons behave as do partially coherent waves. This monograph deals with quantum kinetics for transport in low-dimensional microstructures and for ultra-short laser pulse spectroscopy. The nonequilibrium Green function theory is described and used for the derivation of the quantum kinetic equations. Numerical methods for the solution of the retarded quantum kinetic equations are discussed and results are presented for high-field transport and for mesoscopic transport phenomena. Quantum beats, polarization decay, and non-Markovian behaviour are treated for femtosecond spectroscopy on a microscopic basis.

Advanced System Dynamics in Complex Variables

Complex Dynamics: Advanced System Dynamics in Complex Variables is a graduate-level monographic textbook. It has seven Chapters. The introductory Chapter 1 explains ‘in plain English’ the objective of the book and provides the preliminaries in complex numbers and variables; it also gives a soft introduction to quantum dynamics. Chapter 2 develops low-dimensional dynamics in the complex plane, theoretical and computational, continuous- and discrete-time. Chapter 3 presents a modern introduction to quantum dynamics, mainly following Dirac’s notation. Chapter 4 develops geometrical machinery of complex manifolds, essential for the further text. Chapter 5 develops high-dimensional complex continuous dynamics, which takes place on complex manifolds. Chapter 6 develops the formalism of complex path integrals, which extends the continuous dynamics to the general high-dimensional dynamics, which can be both discrete and stochastic. In the last.

The study of the solar system, particularly of its newly discovered outer parts, is one of the hottest topics in modern astrophysics, with great potential for revealing fundamental clues about the origin of planets and even the emergence of life. The three lecturers at the 35th Saas-Fee Advanced Course cover the field from observational, theoretical and numerical perspectives. Highly sensitive, wide-field electronic detectors have enabled the discovery and the exploration of the Kuiper Belt, while fast computers allow us to make numerical simulations with a degree of sophistication that was previously unimaginable. Additionally, our perception of the solar system in the bigger context of the galactic disk is changing; particularly as we detect planets encircling other stars. This volume reviews what we know about the solar system and is therefore extremely timely. The style it is written in perfectly conveys the excitement this field of research holds.

The Road to Galaxy Formation The formation of galaxies is one of the greatest puzzles in astronomy, the solution is shrouded in the depths of space and time, but has profound implications for the universe we observe today. The book discusses the beginnings of the process from cosmological observations and calculations, considers the broad features of galaxies that we need to explain and what we know of their later history. The author compares the competing theories for galaxy formation and considers the progress expected from new generations of powerful telescopes both on earth and in space. In this second edition the author has retained the observationally-based approach of the first edition, a feature which was particularly wellreviewed: Writing in Nature, Carlton Baugh noted in February 2003 that “It is refreshing, in a market dominated by theorists, to come across a book on galaxy formation written from an observational perspective.

Features 7 Deals solely with the processes and results of galaxy formation – a subject usually discussed only briefly as a subfield of cosmology 7 Written from an observational perspective 7 Discusses the theories for galaxy formation, and shows where each theory either succeeds or fails in explaining what we actually observe

Emergent Non-Linear Phenomena in Bose-Einstein Condensates

Science Perspectives for 3D Spectroscopy

Theory and Experiment

Proceedings of the ESO Workshop held in Garching, Germany, 10-14 October 2005

This book, written by experts in the fields of atomic physics and nonlinear science, consists of reviews of the current state of the art at the interface of these fields, as is exemplified by the modern theme of Bose-Einstein condensates. Topics covered include bright, dark, gap and multidimensional solitons; vortices; vortex lattices; optical lattices; multicomponent condensates; mathematical methods/rigorous results; and the beyondthe-mean-field approach. A distinguishing feature of the contents is the detailed incorporation of both the experimental and theoretical viewpoints throughout subsections of the relevant chapters.

This volume contains the proceedings of the last conference ever on integral-field spectroscopy. A daring statement, indicating that integral-field spectroscopy has evolved into a mature technique - a common user utility for astronomical research. Nowadays many integral-field spectrographs are installed on 4m to 8-10m class telescopes around the world. While many of those instruments are referred to in this volume, the book is explicitly not dedicated to technical issues, but is focusing on the scientific questions that can be answered with integral-field spectroscopy. These range from solar system studies all the way to high redshift surveys.

Features 7 Covers the important developments in a special aspect of Bose-Einstein condensation, i.e. nonlinear phenomena in condensates 7 Offers detailed insight gained from the authors‘ long experience 7 Integrates the physics of quantum gases, solid state physics, optics and nonlinear physics

Diﬀusion in Gases, Liquids and Electrolytes M. Lechner (Ed.)

Part A J. Winkelmann

Diﬀusion of Gases in Gases, Liquids and their Mixtures Diffusion – defined as mass, amount, or particle transport process – is the most essential transport property besides viscosity and thermal conductivity. Diffusion is widely used in nature, technical and scientific applications, ranging from diffusion in all kinds of gases, liquids, solids, electrolytes and their mixtures. Due to the large amount of data, the volume LB IV/15 “Diffusion in Gases, Liquids, and Electrolytes” is divided into three subvolumes. Part A: Gases in Gases, Liquids and their Mixtures. Part B: Liquids in Liquids and Liquid Mixtures. Part C: Ions and Electrolytes in Liquids, Electrolytes and Molten Salts.

The present volume is an introduction to nonlinear waves and soliton theory in the special environment of compact spaces such a closed curves and surfaces and other domain contours. It assumes familiarity with basic soliton theory and nonlinear dynamical systems. The first part of the book introduces the mathematical concept required for treating the manifolds considered. Emphasis on the relevant notions from topology and differential geometry. An introduction to the theory of motion of curves and surfaces - as part of the emerging field of contour dynamics - is given. The second and third parts discuss the modeling of various physical solitons on compact systems, such as filaments, loops and drops made of almost incompressible materials thereby intersecting with a large number of physical disciplines from hydrodynamics to compact object astrophysics.

Features

Short-period binaries run the gamut from widely separated stars to black-hole pairs; in between are systems that include neutron stars and white dwarfs, and partially evolved systems such as tidally distorted and over-contact systems. These objects represent stages of evolution of binary stars, and their degrees of separation provide critical clues to how their evolutionary paths differ from that of single stars. The widest and least distorted systems provide astronomers with the essential precise data needed to study all stars: mass and radius. The interactions of binary star components, on the other hand, provide a natural laboratory to observe how the matter in these stars behaves under different and often varying physical conditions. Thus, cataclysmic variables with and without overpoweringly strong magnetic fields, and stars with densities from that found in the Sun to the degenerate matter of white dwarfs and the ultra-compact states of neutron stars and black holes are all discussed.

XIIth Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation

Quantum Optics

Learning by Computing, with Examples Using Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB

This new edition is intended for a one semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering. It uses scripts from Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB to provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption. The text covers all the standard topics of a traditional optics course, including: geometrical optics and aberration, interference and diffraction, coherence, Maxwell‘s equations, wave guides and propagating modes, blackbody radiation, atomic emission and lasers, optical properties of materials, Fourier transforms and FT spectroscopy, image formation, and holography. It contains step by step derivations of all basic formulas in geometrical, wave and Fourier optics.

These proceedings contain an up-to-date series of lectures covering issues at the forefront of cosmology, gravitation, and astrophysics. Both observational matters, such as accelerated expansion of the universe, and gamma ray bursts and theoretical issues, such as loop quantum gravity and quantum field theory in de Sitter space are presented. Being a school for advanced students, many of the lectures were a high level revision of recent developments, among which could single out the results presented by Belinski regarding the absence of black hole evaporation, and Riffini regarding the origin of gamma-0 ray bursts.

Quantum Mechanics

New Developments and Recent Applications Features Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive optical measurement technique which allows capturing several thousand velocity vectors within large flow fields instantaneously. Today, the PIV technique has spread widely and differentiated into many distinct applications, from micro flows over combustion to supersonic flows for both industrial needs and research. Over the past decade the measurement technique and the hard- and software have been improved continuously so that PIV has become a reliable and accurate method for “real life” investigations. Nevertheless there is still an ongoing process of improvements and extensions of the PIV technique towards 3D, time resolution, higher accuracy, measurements under harsh conditions and micro- and macroscales. This book gives a synopsis of the main results achieved during the EC-funded network PivNet 2 as well as a survey of the state of the art of scientific research using PIV techniques in different fields of application.

Self-Organized Morphology in Superconductivity Nanostructured Materials In this volume, concepts of nonlinear dynamics and self-organization are applied to topics in materials sciences with emphasis on semiconductors, soft matter, and biomaterials. The questions addressed include how to compare ordering phenomena under nonequilibrium situations, usually called self-organized structures, with those arising under situations close to equilibrium via selfassembly. Analogies are pointed out, differences are characterized, and efforts made to discover common features in the mechanistic description of those phenomena. Of major importance is the question of the role of spatial and temporal order, in particular, the application of concepts developed on macroscopic and microscopic scales to structure formation occurring on nanoscales, which occupies the focus of interest on the frontiers of science.

The variational approach to fracture This volume offers a panorama of the variational approach to brittle fracture that has developed in the past eight years or so. The key concept dates back to Griffith and consists in viewing crack growth as the result of a competition between bulk and surface energy. Griffith’s insight in the light of the contemporary tools of the Calculus of Variations is revisited. Also, Barenblatt’s contributions are imported and there is a continuous striving to gauge the respective merits of both types of surface energy. The advocated variational approach provides an incisive picture of initiation and propagation whose features are detailed. The material is mathematical in nature, but not overly preoccupied with technicalities. An effort is made to connect the approach with more classical treatments of fracture, and to illustrate the results in simple test settings, or through relevant numerical simulations.

Features 7 Offers a new and unified view of fracture evolution in a brittle solid 7 Treats crack evolution from its initiation all the way to the failure of the sample 7 Models both crack initiation, crack path and crack extension for arbitrary geometries and loads 7 Presents original results, both from a theoretical and from a numerical standpoint 7 Offers a unified treatment of fracture and fatigue

IUTAM Symposium on Discretization Methods for Evolving Discontinuities Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held Lyon, France, 4 – 7 September, 2006

With mechanics focusing on smaller and smaller length scales, the need to properly model discontinuities increases. Technically important interface problems appear in solid mechanics, at fluid-solid boundaries, e.g. in welding and casting processes, and in aeroelasticity. Discretization methods have traditionally been developed for continuous media and are less well suited for treating discontinuities. Indeed, they are approximation methods for the solution of the partial differential equations, which are valid on a domain. Discontinuities divide this domain into two or more parts and at the interface special solution methods must be employed. Also, fluid-solid interfaces cannot be solved accurately except at the expense of complicated and time-consuming remeshing procedures.

The carbon nanotubes field has evolved substantially since the publication of the bestseller “Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications”. The present volume builds on the generic aspects of the aforementioned book, which emphasizes the fundamentals, with the new volume emphasizing areas that have grown rapidly since the first volume, guiding future directions where research is needed and highlighting applications. The volume also includes an emphasis on areas like graphene, other carbon-like and other tube-like materials because these fields are likely to affect and influence developments in nanotubes in the next 5 years.

The motion of electrons in superconductors seems to exceed our imagination based on daily experience with Newtonian mechanics. This book shows that the classical concepts, such as the balance of forces acting on electrons, are useful for understanding superconductivity. The electrostatic field plays a natural part in this balance as it mediates forces between electrons at long distances. Due to its classical interpretation, the theory presented in this book is suitable for introductory courses.

Terahertz Frequency Detection and Identiﬁcation of Materials and Objects

Blast Cleaning Technology

Terahertz frequency sensing has a unique part to play in the detection and identification of materials and objects. This frequency range, corresponding to a wavelength of around 0.1 mm, can be used to identify materials from their molecular spectra and to produce images of concealed objects. Terahertz spectra of drugs of abuse and explosives presented by a number of the contributing authors show that the presence of these materials can be detected in envelopes, packages and through clothing. The technology of terahertz detection has largely been developed around expensive and bulky femtosecond laser systems but, as described in this book, advances in semiconductor superlattice technology are leading to compact “electronic” sources such as the quantum cascade laser, two-terminal “Gunn” type oscillators and even a THz frequency amplifier. These advances towards electronic (as opposed to optical) THz systems mean that the technology will become portable and much less costly.

Features 7 Comprehensive discussion on terahertz sensing for security purposes 7 State-of-the art chapters on terahertz devices 7 State-of-the art chapters on terahertz systems 7 Expert opinions on the possibilities and practicalities of terahertz sensing

Blast cleaning is one of the most frequently utilised surface treatment-method in modern industry. Tilghman’s patent on „Improvement in cutting and engraving stone, metal, glass etc.“ (1870) was the starting point of the utilisation of blast cleaning for industrial processes. Early applications included applications in the foundry industry, steel making industry, and corrosion protection industry. Today’s applications include the use for micromachining, polishing, maintenance and surface preparation for coating applications. Recent advanced applications in the machining industry include blast cleaning assisted laser milling. The book is the first comprehensive monograph in this subject. It provides a practical and comprehensive review of the technology. This book systematically and critically reviews the theory behind the technology, the state of current blast cleaning, surface quality aspects and the effects of blast cleaning on the performance of applied coatings.

Spectral Method in Multiaxial Safety, Reliability and Risks Mechanical Behaviour of Random Fatigue Associated with Water, Oil and Engineering Materials Gas Pipelines Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites This monograph contains theoretical foundations of the spectral method for fatigue life determination where the authors discuss a rule of description of random loading states with the matrix of power spectral density functions of the stress/strain tensor components. Some chosen criteria of multiaxial fatigue failure being linear combinations of stress or strain components on the critical plane are analyzed. The formula proposed in this book enables to determine power spectral density of the equivalent history directly from the components of the power spectral density matrix of the multidimensional stochastic process. It presents the assumptions and the procedure of determination of basic relationships of the spectral method. The authors work out equations determining the fatigue life according to the spectral method using various linear hypotheses of fatigue damage accumulation.

Pipes are of major importance for transport of liquids and gas mainly for water, natural gas and oil. The total length of gas pipes in the world is estimated at one million kilometres for gas transport (pipes with a diameter of 80 to 1000 mm). Pipelines remain the least expensive transcontinental means of transport compared to rail-bound or terrestrial transport. It has become increasingly paramount to ensure the safe utilisation of such plant in order to prevent economical, social and ecological losses. From a technical point of view, pipelines are complicated three dimensional structures that include straight pipes, nozzles, pipe-bends, dissimilar welded joints, etc. In addition, their operating conditions can be quite severe, that is, internal pressure and cyclic loading (vibration) combined with the influence of internal and external corrosive environments.

How do engineering materials deform when bearing mechanical loads? To answer this crucial question, the book bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and materials science. The different kinds of material deformation (elasticity, plasticity, fracture, creep, fatigue) are explained in detail. The book also discusses the physical processes occurring during the deformation of all classes of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites) and shows how these materials can be strengthened to meet the design requirements. It provides the knowledge needed in selecting the appropriate engineering material for a certain design problem. The reader will thus learn how to critically employ design rules and thus to avoid failure of mechanical components. ‘Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials’ is both a valuable textbook and a useful reference for graduate students and practising engineers.

Magnetic Heterostructures Advances and Perspectives in Spinstructures and Spintransport

Heterostructures consist of combinations of different materials, which are in contact through at least one interface. Magnetic heterostructures combine different physical properties which do not exist in nature. Examples are semiconductors/ ferromagnets, superconductors/ferromagnets, or ferromagnets/antiferromagnets. These combinations display new physical properties different from any single one of them. Interlayer exchange coupling, exchange bias, proximity effects, giant magneto-resistance, tunneling magneto-resistance, spin spininjection and spintransport are examples for new physical phenomena, which relay on the combination of various metal, semiconductor, and oxide layers. Heterostructures are generated by stack-wise deposition of these materials layers and by lateral structuring them via lithographic processes.

Hilbert-Huang Transform Analysis of Hydrological and Environmental Time Series

Economic Evaluations in Exploration

The Hilbert-Huang Transform ((HHT) is a recently developed technique which is used to analyze nonstationary data. Hydrologic and environmental series are, in the main, analyzed by using techniques which were developed for stationary data. This has led to problems of interpretation of the results. Environmental and hydrologic series are quite often nonstationary. The basic objective of the material discussed in this book is to analyze these data by using methods based on the HilbertHuang transform. These results are compared to the results from the traditional methods such as those based on Fourier transform and other classical statistical tests.

Contents Preface.- 1. Introduction.- 2. Hilbert-Huang Transform (Hht) Spectral Analysis.- 3. Hilbert-Huang Spectra of Simulated Data.- 4. Rainfall Data Analysis.- 5. Streamflow Data Analysis.- 6. Temperature Data Analysis.- 7. Wind Data Analysis.- 8. Lake Temperature Data Analysis.- 9. Conclusions.- List of References.

The textbook is intended for the economic geologist who deals with the evaluation of deposits at an early stage of development. It offers rules for quick and easy calculations based on the application of approximate data. It provides both the student and the geologist in the field with a complete set of rules and methods enabling them to perform a quick initial evaluation of the deposit without the support of specialists or computers – even if he is left to his own resources. To support the “how to do”-approach all rules for calculations are illustrated with examples and also points out mistakes and pitfalls the authors encountered during their careers. The case histories, exercises, metal prices and terminology, especially concerning “reserves and resources”, have been fully updated in this second edition.

Diﬀerential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy

Rural Analysis and Management

Principles and Applications

An Earth Science Approach to Rural Science

Measurement techniques form the basis of our knowledge about atmospheric composition and chemistry. Presently, important questions of atmospheric chemistry center on urban pollution, free-radical chemistry, degradation of greenhouse gases and the budgets of tropospheric and stratospheric ozone. Among the many different optical spectroscopic methods that are in use, DOAS has emerged as a universal technique to measure the concentrations of atmospheric trace gases by making use of the characteristic absorption features of gas molecules along a path of known length in the open atmosphere. This book reviews the basics of atmospheric chemistry, radiation transport, and optical spectroscopy before detailing the principles underlying DOAS. The second part of the book describes the design and application of DOAS instruments as well as the evaluation and interpretation of spectra.

This handbook presents the foundations of modern rural analysis. The first part of the book presents a comprehensive description of the elements of rural analysis, providing the basis for a synthetic view of rural landscapes in the second part. Included is a comprehensive description and explanation of the rural landscapes from throughout the world, which leads to a complete management scheme for rural landscapes. The text covers topics such as global change, the role of information technologies in rural areas, gender relations and how to bridge the gap between scientific analysis and decision-making processes. A fully-worked example is provided, illustrating how all the analyses and techniques shown can be applied in a real case.

Features 7 Provides a detailed introduction to the principles underlying Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy 7 Describes the design and application of DOAS instruments as well as the evaluation and interpretation of spectra 7 Covers the recent expansion of DOAS application to the imaging of trace gas distributions by ground, aircraft, and satellite-based instruments is also

Biosaline Agriculture and High Salinity Tolerance A major threat to agricultural productivity worldwide is undoubtedly due to environments with stressful factors including drought, salinity, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, non-optimal levels of mineral nutrients etc. Based on contributions presented at the International Conference on Biosaline Agriculture and High Salinity Tolerance in November 2006 in Gammarth, Tunisia, this book reviews the current state of knowledge in biosaline agriculture and high salinity tolerance in plants. It mainly focuses on the biotic approach to economically utilize the stress-prone areas by growing resistant plants. This volume comprises three sections: molecular biology, physiology and biochemistry, and ecology. Thus, a systematic approach has been adopted to uncover plant responses to various ecological factors at physiological and molecular levels. It is of interest to students, researchers and professionals in plant physiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, agriculture, soil science, and environmental biology.

Temporal Dimensions of Landscape Ecology Wildlife Responses to Variable Resources Over the past twenty-five years, the effects of the spatial distribution and scaling of resources on animal populations have been increasingly studied in wildlife biology, landscape ecology, conservation biology, and related fields. However, spatial patterns change over time. In Temporal Dimensions of Landscape Ecology: Wildlife Responses to Variable Resources, the authors discuss the effects that temporal changes in resources have on animal populations. Resource availability and quality are not distributed homogeneously over time, depending for example on predictable changes in seasons, mating and birthing cycles, unpredictable resource pulses and weather-related phenomena, ecological disturbances, and historical legacies.

Features 7 Examines the temporal dynamics of resource abundance and quality 7 Explores the effect of pulsed resources on wildlife populations 7 Complements spatial approaches to landscape ecology 7 International contributions enable worldwide application of the theories

Positive Interactions and Interdependence in Plant Communities Positive interactions and interdependence in plant communities offers a new look at an old problem – the nature of the communities. This book marshals ecological literature from the last century on facilitation to make the case against the widely accepted “individualistic” notion of community organization. Clearly, many species in many communities would not be present without the ameliorating effects of other species. In other words, communities are not produced only by summing the population ecology of species. Concepts covered include the idea that positive interactions are more prevalent in physically stressful conditions, species specificity in facilitative interactions, indirect facilitative interactions, how facilitation contributes to diversity-ecosystem function relationships, and potential evolutionary aspects of positive interactions.

7 No book has been written on the broad subject of facilitation 7 There have been virtually no challenges to a strict “individualistic” paradigm for plant communities; one of the dominant paradigms in ecology 7 No compilations of the literature on this subject

Contents 1. Introduction.- 2. Direct mechanisms for facilitation.- 3. Indirect interactions.- 4. Interaction between competition and facilitation.- 5. Species-specific positive interactions.- 6. Positive interactions and community organization.- References.- Index.

Origins and Prospects

Features

Biologie

Springer News 8/2007

Over the last thirty years, China has developed one of the world’s largest public research programs in agricultural biotechnology. Building on a long tradition of agricultural advances, Chinese scientists have applied biotechnology techniques to develop hundreds of novel crop varieties suited to local farming conditions and challenges. Agricultural Biotechnology in China: Origins and Prospects is a comprehensive examination of how the origins of biotechnology research agendas, along with the effectiveness of the seed delivery system and biosafety oversight, help to explain current patterns of crop development and adoption in China. Based on firsthand insights from China’s laboratories and farms, Valerie Karplus and Dr. Xing Wang Deng explore the implications of China’s investment for the nation’s rural development, environmental footprint, as well as its global scientific and economic competitiveness.

This book documents proceedings of a symposium on muskellunge developed as a memorial for E.J. Crossman. It focuses on the biology, ecology, and management of muskellunge, Ed’s favorite fish. The papers include surveys of current ecological, behavioral, and management-related issues for muskellunge fisheries. The symposium was developed to bring researchers and anglers together, and was sponsored by Muskies, Inc. The papers focus on issues of importance to muskellunge populations and are developed to inform the public and fishery managers alike.

Biological Invaders in Inland Waters: Proﬁles, Distribution and Threats As predicted by Charles Elton in 1958, today invasive species have come to dominate 3% of the Earth’s ice-free surface, constituting one of the most serious ecological and economic threats of the new millennium. In spite of any prevention effort, the number of invasive species is expected to increase in the next years as an inevitable consequence of both the augmented complexity of international trade and the deregulation of national and international markets. New pathways have been opened and the movement of non-indigenous species along them has been facilitated. The book examines the identity, distribution, and impact of freshwater non-indigenous species and the dynamics of their invasion. Rather than providing a broad and comprehensive review of the issue, Biological invaders in inland waters focuses on old and new invaders and also raises questions and opens perspectives that provide a starting point for further research.

Plant Conservation and Biodiversity This book brings together a selection of original studies submitted to Biodiversity and Conservation addressing aspects of the conservation and biodiversity of plants. Plants are, along with terrestrial vertebrates, the best known organisms on Earth, and and so work on them can be a model for that on less known organism groups. Further, plants are crucial to ecosystem processes, and provide habitats and food for myriads of dependent organisms. At the same time, plants are exploited for food and fuel by humans, and forests continue to be felled for the timber trade or to provide more grazing for cattle. As individual plants are not mobile, they are also particularly vulnerable to global climate change. The contributions are drawn from a wide range of countries from different continents, and collectively provide a snap-shot of the types of studies and actions being taken in plant conservation – topical examples that will make the volume especially valuable for use in conservation biology courses.

Features 7 Draws together a wide range of peer-reviewed primary research papers from biodiversity researchers around the world 7 Provides examples from a wide spectrum of issues representing the current state-of-the art in arthropods 7 Provides examples of recent work, usable as case studies for courses in ecology, restoration, biodiversity, conservation

Ostracodology - Linking Bioand Geosciences Proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda, Berlin, 2005 Ostracods, small aquatic Crustacea, occur in almost every marine, brackish and freshwater habitat. Their calcified bivalved carapaces readily fossilize and their record in earth history is long, dense and diverse. Ostracod species are particularly useful as tools in marine and limnic (palaeo-) ecology, in (palaeo-) biogeography, and biostratigraphy. Their reproductive morphology is as extraordinary as their reproductive modes, and many of their physiological peculiarities remain mysterious. Ostracod taxonomy and phylogeny contribute to general studies of crustacean evolution. The diversity of ostracod applications in both biology and palaeontology is clearly illustrated by the eighteen papers of the 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda (Berlin, Germany) in 2005, which are grouped in the present proceedings, one of three volumes resulting from this meeting.

Features 7 Comprehensive update of ongoing research in Ostracod sciences 7 Illustrations of ostracods as model groups in various research areas (evolutionary biology of reproductive modes, palaeoecology related to climate change and global warming, ...) 7 Test cases of pathways of arthropod evolution, with special reference to crustacean comparative morphology

2D PAGE Volume 1: Sample Preparation and PreFractionation

A Chronicle of Tropical Agricultural Science in the Twentieth Century This volume describes the myriad ways in which fish have approached problems of reproduction it is an amply illustrated comparative study of the microscopic structure of the female genital systems of fish. The timing of its appearance is auspicious in that it coincides with the decline of the golden age of descriptive morphology. It is a compilation of thousands of micrographs - mostly electron micrographs - from classic works in the field and should prove valuable to investigators studying fish in areas such as ecology, physiology, and reproductive biology who may view histology as essential in their work but have little background in this area. It includes chapters on the origin of genital systems, the structure of ovarian follicles, mechanisms of ovulation, the cortical reaction, oviducts, oviparity, and amazing examples of viviparity.

Features 7 Review of hundreds of papers on morphology of female genital systems of fish 7 Enormous number of illustrations, largely micrographs 7 Essential for understanding of fish fecundity

This book is a critical account of tropical agricultural science and agricultural development in the twentieth century, in particular in Africa. It describes successes as well as fads and failures, from the perspective of a practitioner of more than 40 years. The emphasis is on the second half of the century, but the story frequently reaches deep into the first half of the century as well. The book’s premise is that the story of tropical agricultural science and agricultural development can be told in a single volume at a more than trivial level, understandable for people of normal intelligence. It tries to uncover what real value there has been in the major areas of study (Farming Systems Research, Natural Resource Management, crop modelling, etc.) after peeling off the multiple protective layers applied by the profession. It also takes a critical look at agricultural and general development which has become inflated with hot air to the point of blowing itself apart in the early twenty-first century.

This book presents a broad coverage of the principles and recent developments of sample preparation and fractionation tools in Expression Proteomics in general and for two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) in particular. 2-DE, with its unique capacity to resolve thousands of proteins in a single run, is still a fundamental research tool for nearly all protein-related scientific projects. The methods described here in detail are not limited to 2-DE and can also be applied to other protein separation techniques.

Proteomics; Cell Biology; Biochemistry, general

The neuronal circuit that generates breathing, the regulation of breathing, and its integration with other physiological systems is of utmost importance to human health. However, breathing abnormalities are common, and sleep apnea alone is estimated to affect 18 million in the United States. As one of the major complications of obesity, the prevalence of sleep apnea is likely to increase in the coming years. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), asthma, Parkinson‘s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and the pathophysiology of panic and related anxiety states also involve aspects of respiratory control.

Ecology of Baltic Coastal Waters This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the enormous ecological diversity of Baltic coastal ecosystems. A short introduction into the Baltic Sea as a reference ecosystem is followed by detailed descriptions of the characteristics of coastal ecosystems. Ecological case studies from the following four regions illustrate the different reactions of these ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic influences: Southern Baltic coast: Fjörden, Boddens, Lagoons and nearshore zones, Eastern Baltic coast: Gulf of Gdansk, Gulf of Riga, Northeastern Baltic coast: Neva Estuary and Gulf of Finland, Western Baltic coast: Stockholm Archipelago, Askö area and Himmerfjärden, Odense Fjord and Kerteminde Fjord/Kertinge Nor. This volume also presents a synthesis of the common and distinguishing characteristics and processes of the coastal waters compared with the Baltic Proper, as well as highlighting research deficits. An outlook on further developments in coastal research rounds off the volume.

Algae and Cyanobacteria in Extreme Environments

Regulatory Allosteric Enzymes

Algae and Cyanobacteria in Extreme Environments is a unique collection of essays, contributed by leading scientists from around the world, devoted to algae – and some related microbes – observed in unexpected harsh habitats, which it seems are an oasis or Garden of Eden for these organisms. This timely book on Extremophilic algae, including its especially impressive micrographs, may provide clues about the edges of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere in the universe. Defining locations from the anthropomorphic point of view, the environments explored ranges from severe and distant to “normal” places. The algae discussed, microbial oxygenic phototrophs, are classified into various categories according to their habitats.

All enzymes are remarkable since they have the ability to increase the rate of a chemical reaction, often by more than a billion-fold. Allosteric enzymes are even more amazing because the have the additional ability to change their rate in response to cellular activators or inhibitors. This enables them to control the pathway in which they are the regulatory enzyme. Since the effector molecules represent the current status of the cell for a given metabolic pathway, this results in very responsive and balanced metabolic states, and makes it possible for cells and organisms to be appropriately dynamic, and responsive, in a changing environment. This book provides a logical introduction to the limits for enzyme function as dictated by the factors that are limits for life. This book presents a complete description of all the mechanisms used for changing enzyme acticity.

Features 7 Covers the most recent developments in the analysis of allosteric enzymes 7 Extensively illustrated to clarify kinetic and regulatory properties 7 Discusses recently created crystal structures of the enzymes 7 Provides a detailed enzyme structure for each enzyme covered in the book 7 Focuses on the features of these enzymes that are invaluable to the discussion of allosterism and regulation

Cell Division Control in Plants The molecular mechanisms controlling cell cycle progression are highly conserved in eukaryotes. In addition to the basic protein machinery involved in cell cycle regulation, higher plants have also evolved unique molecular mechanisms that allow integration of environmental, physiological, and developmental signals into networks to control proper cell division and expansion. Rapid and exciting research progress in these fields has been achieved from experimental observations on plants over the past decade. The scope of this volume is focused on the molecular basis of all aspects of cell division and cytokinesis in plants. It is an essential reference book for instructors and scientists working in the areas of molecular, cell, and developmental biology of plants. The editors of this book are veterans in the field of plant molecular biology and highly respected worldwide.

A lot of economic problems can formulated as constrained optimizations and equilibration of their solutions. Various mathematical theories have been supplying economists with indispensable machineries for these problems arising in economic theory. Conversely, mathematicians have been stimulated by various mathematical difficulties raised by economic theories. The series is designed to bring together those mathematicians who were seriously interested in getting new challenging stimuli from economic theories with those economists who are seeking for effective mathematical tools for their researchers.

Irreversible Decisions under Uncertainty

Macroeconomics of Monetary Union

Optimal Stopping made Easy During the late 19th and throughout the 20th century, social sciences in general and economics in particular have undergone an enormous progress. This has led to something of an embarrassment of riches. While certain topics have been fully researched to the point where the marginal benefit from further research is approaching zero, others have remained largely under-researched or were being ignored altogether. It is this discrepancy which prompted the research paradigm of “Crossing Bridges”. For this volume, ten authors have joined forces to address the problem of under-researched topics, focussing in particular on gaps in interdisciplinary research between economics and other social sciences such as linguistics, art and cultural history. Making use of interdisciplinary methods and approaches, the book makes a case for stronger bonds between the different fields of social science.

In real life, as well as in economic models, individuals often make decisions in an uncertain environment. In many cases, a problem which an optimizing agent faces can be formulated or reformulated as a problem of optimal timing of a certain irreversible or partially reversible action or optimal stopping problem. In this book, the authors present an alternative approach to optimal stopping problems. The basic ideas and techniques of the approach can be explained much simpler than the standard methods in the literature on optimal stopping problems. The monograph will teach the reader to apply the technique to many problems in economics and finance, including new ones. From the technical point of view, the method can be characterized as option pricing via the Wiener-Hopf factorization.

This book, unlike other books, provides readers with a practical yet sophisticated grasp of the macroeconomic principles necessary to understand a monetary union. By definition, a monetary union is a group of countries that share a common currency. The most important case in point is the Euro area. Policy makers are the central bank, national governments, and national labour unions. Policy targets are price stability and full employment. Policy makers follow cold-turkey or gradualist strategies. Policy decisions are taken sequentially or simultaneously. The countries can differ in size or behaviour. Policy expectations are adaptive or rational. To illustrate all of this there are numerical simulations of monetary policy, fiscal policy, and wage policy.

Artiﬁcial Markets Modeling

Environmental Policy Instruments for Conserving Global Biodiversity

Methods and Applications

Agent-based computational modeling with its intrinsic multidisciplinary approach is gaining increasing recognition in the social sciences, particularly in economics, business and finance. The methodology is now widely used to compute analytical models numerically and test them for departures from theoretical assumptions, and to provide stand-alone simulation models for problems that are analytically intractable.This volume is devoted to recent contributions to the field from both the social sciences and computer sciences. It present applications of agent-based computational methodologies and tools in the social sciences, focusing strongly on the uses, requirements and constraints of agent-based models employed by social scientists. Topics include agent-based macroeconomics, the emergence of norms and conventions, the dynamics of social and economic networks, and behavioral models in financial markets.

The current, unprecedented loss of global biodiversity resulting from anthropogenic interference in the world’s ecosystems is affecting human wellbeing across the globe with increasing severity. This book examines two issues that are at the center of the public discussion on biodiversity. First, it examines whether genetic information derived from biodiversity can be used to create incentives to effectively preserve biodiversity. Second, it examines whether establishing and managing protected areas can be accomplished effectively on an international level by using transfer payments. It concludes that, although both approaches have their strengths, neither of them can provide a degree of preservation that is sufficient from a global perspective.

Agent-Based Modeling The Santa Fe Institute Artiﬁcial Stock Market Model Revisited

Environmental Economics; Economic Policy; Environment, general

This book reconciles the existence of technical trading with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. By analyzing a well-known agent-based model, the Santa Fe Institute Artificial Stock Market (SFIASM), it finds that when selective forces are weak, financial evolution cannot guarantee that only the fittest trading rules will survive.Its main contribution lies in the application of standard results from population genetics which have widely been neglected in the agent-based community. This has led to various misinterpretations of previous simulation results. The book is able to finally establish the emergence of technical trading for faster learning speeds in the SFI-ASM beyond a doubt. In emphasizing the importance of genetic drift as an important evolutionary factor and analyzing its effects on various mutation operators, this book provides agent-based modelers with several tools to design better evolutionary algorithms.

Energieökonomik Theorie und Anwendungen

Die nachhaltige Lösung von Problemen der Energieversorgung gehört zu den zentralen Herausforderungen moderner Zivilisationen. Aus ökonomischer Sicht greifen alle Antworten zu kurz, die nicht explizit das interessengeleitete Handeln der wesentlichen Akteure berücksichtigen. Deshalb behandelt dieses Buch die nachfrage- und angebotsseitigen Gesetzmäßigkeiten der verschiedenen Energiemärkte, und zwar unter Rückgriff auf industrie- und institutionenökonomische Theoriebausteine. Die technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Bedingungen von Gewinnung, Wandlung, Transport, Verteilung und Nutzung von Energieträgern werden dabei stets berücksichtigt. Ein wichtiges Thema für die Praktiker sind die von der Liberalisierung der leitungsgebundenen Energiemärkte ausgehenden Impulse. Wo immer möglich werden die theoretisch hergeleiteten Voraussagen durch die Konfrontation mit statistischer Evidenz auf ihre Praxisrelevanz geprüft.

A Theory of Market Leaders and Its Policy Implications This book reviews recent progress in the theory of oligopoly and market leadership and provides new results on the theory of Stackelberg competition and Nash competition with strategic investment under endogenous entry. These theories are applied to models of competition in quantities, prices and to patent races. The results are used to propose a new approach to competition policy, and in particular to issues of abuse of dominance, which goes beyond the post-Chicago approach, and to analyse antitrust cases as the Microsoft case.

An International Comparison of Credit Reporting Systems

Credit reporting agencies collect and compile highly-sensitive information on millions of consumers in credit markets throughout the world and also increasingly across a variety of industries, such as insurance, retail and telecommunications. In this revised edition, Nicola Jentzsch provides an in-depth analysis of the economics and regulation of financial privacy and a comparative overview of credit reporting systems in the US and the 27 member states of the European Union. She offers an authoritative evaluation of the design and functioning of dual systems consisting of public credit registers and private credit reporting agencies. Drawing on theories of information and privacy as well as competition in information markets, she discusses the history and institutions of credit reporting. Finally, on an empirical level, the book assesses the economic effects of credit reporting in credit markets. 7 Most in-depth study of the history and economics of credit reporting to date 7 David Medine, former Associate Director at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission

Collecting Spatial Data Optimum Design of Experiments for Random Fields

An Economist‘s (Re)View The intellectual challenges facing central bankers are reflected in this monograph. The author worked as an economist in the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), but also as an international mediator, in the Secretariat of the G10 Ministers and Governors and in central bank governance. This book thus reveals, next to monetary policy and financial crisis, less well known topics such as insolvency, collective action clauses, international mediation and management of central banks.

Features 7 Gives insights into the challenges facing central bankers 7 Reveals strategy and practice at the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) 7 Comprises hot topics such as central bank governance, insolvency law, and collective action clauses

The book is concerned with the statistical theory for locating spatial sensors. It bridges the gap between spatial statistics and optimum design theory. After introductions to those two fields the topics of exploratory designs and designs for spatial trend and variogram estimation are treated. Special attention is devoted to describing new methodologies to cope with the problem of correlated observations. A great number of relevant references are collected and put into a common perspective. The theoretical investigations are accompanied by a practical example, the redesign of an Upper-Austrian air pollution monitoring network. A reader should be able to find respective theory and recommendations on how to efficiently plan a specific purpose spatial monitoring network. The third edition takes account of the rapid development in the area of spatial statistics by including new relevant research and references.

The Design of the Eurosystem‘s Monetary Policy Instruments The creation of a single monetary currency and a single monetary policy in the euro area has faced extraordinary challenges, among them the design of suitable monetary policy instruments. This book evaluates monetary policy instruments of the Eurosystem against a number of requirements. For doing so, a theoretical model framework is developed which brings together the monetary policy activities of a central bank and the liquidity management of banks considering the main characteristics and institutional features of the euro area. Main results of this analysis are that different costs of obtaining liquidity directly from the central bank can explain the existence of an interbank market in the euro area and the positive spread between the interbank market rate and the repo rate; that the redesign of the Eurosystem’s instruments in 2004 has to be evaluated positively and that a further change to the minimum reserve system would enhance the flexibility of monetary policy in the euro area.

Contents Introduction.- Monetary Policy Instruments of the Eurosystem.- Stylized Facts and First Explanations.- Base Model: Banks’ Liquidity Management and Interbank Market Equilibrium.- Remuneration of Required Reserves at the Current Repo Rate.- Remuneration of Required Reserves at an Average Rate.- Overlapping Maturities of Central Bank Credits.- Implications for the Eurosystem’s Operational Framework.- Summary.

Evaluation of Returns and Comparative Perspectives on China

“Banking Sector Liberalization in India“ explores in detail the changes in the Indian banking sector over the last 20 years, and puts them into a comparative perspective with the Chinese banking sector. For this purpose, the author develops a detailed indicator-based framework for assessing the liberalization of a banking sector along various process steps based on financial liberalization and transformation studies. This framework, along with the indicators for the process and the results of liberalization, is applied to the banking sectors in India and China to test for the effects of liberalization on the sector and the macro level. The key finding is that while liberalization has improved the sectoral performance, it has so far had no effect on the macro level. The book features a detailed description of recent reforms in the Indian banking sector, a set of indicators for evaluating banking sector reforms, and a large number of graphs with key figures for the banking sectors in India and China.

The book interprets nature and the environment as a scarce resource. It offers a theoretical study of the allocation problem and describes different policy approaches to the environmental problem. The entire spectrum of the allocation issue is studied: the use of the environment in a static context, international and trade aspects of environmental allocation, regional dimensions, global environmental media, environmental use over time and under uncertainty. The book incorporates a variety of economic approaches, including neoclassical analysis, the public-goods approach, benefit-cost analysis, property-rights ideas, economic policy and public-finance reasoning, international trade theory, regional science, optimization theory, and risk analysis. The different aspects of environmental allocation are studied in the context of a single model that is used through the book.

Health Economics Health Economics is the most complete text available on the economics of health behavior and health care delivery. Appropriate both for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students of economics, this text provides the key analytical tools required to understand current research, presenting empirical evidence on each issue and summarizing results for easy comprehension. Issues discussed include the “cost explosion” in health care, the power of medical associations, the search for remuneration systems with favorable incentives, and technological change in medicine. Without neglecting ethical concerns, modern microeconomic theory is applied to formulate theoretical implications and predictions, and key arguments are summarized to facilitate follow-up, review, and documentation. Rather than simplifying the issues facing today’s healthcare systems, the book models existing complexities as they are, adapting economics to reflect the views of the average person.

Features 7 Readers will know the issues and future challenges confronting healthcare systems, have the tools used in the international literature for analyzing these issues and challenges and be acquainted with the crucial stylized facts and pieces of econometric evidence

Linear Programming and its Applications

One of the primary purposes of any model is to build intuition and generate insights. Typically, a model is developed to be able to better understand phenomena that are otherwise difficult to comprehend. Models can also help in verifying the correctness of an intuition or judgment. In spite of the fact that many educators recognize the intuition-building power of simple models, this is the first book in the field that uses the power of the basic models and principles to provide students and managers with an “intuitive understanding” of operations management.

Netzwerke als soziale Systeme, die Personen und Organisationen miteinander verbinden, sind ein maßgebliches Mittel und Instrument zur Steuerung regionaler Entwicklung. Das Autorenteam, das in diesem Bereich auf jahrelange Erfahrung auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene zurückblicken kann, zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, um mit Hilfe von Netzwerken regionale Innovation und Wirtschaftskraft zu stärken, regionale Entwicklungsprozesse zu steuern und gemeinsames Lernen effektiv zu gestalten. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Fallstudien durchgeführter Projekte zeigen den Erfolg der Methoden und Ansätze der Autoren.

This book presents a unified treatment of linear programming. Without sacrificing mathematical rigor, the main emphasis of the book is on models and applications. The most important classes of problems are surveyed and presented by means of mathematical formulations, followed by solution methods and a discussion of a variety of “what-if ” scenarios. Non-simplex based solution methods and newer developments such as interior point methods are covered along with a variety of approaches that incorporate multiple objectives in the model.

Social Multi-Criteria Evaluation for a Sustainable Economy

Produktions- und Kostentheorie

Dieses Buch ist innerhalb kurzer Zeit zum Standardwerk der Produktions- und Kostentheorie geworden. Es bringt dem Leser in einer umfassenden Synopse die Grundlagen und weiterführenden Ansätze der Produktions- und Kostentheorie nahe, die für eine fundierte Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalyse von Fertigungsvorgängen von Bedeutung sind. Nach einer einführenden Stoffübersicht und -einordnung werden aus der Aktitivitätsanalyse heraus die verschiedenen Produktionsfunktionen entwickelt. Sie sind um technische, stochastische, dynamische und empirische Betrachtungen ergänzt. Darauf bauen dann die kostentheoretischen Ansätze zur Ableitung von Kostenfunktionen auf. Ein breiter Raum ist schließlich betrieblichen Anpassungsprozessen in der Produktion gewidmet.

Inhalt Einführende Übersicht zum Gebiet der Produktion.- Produktionstheorie: Grundlagen der Produktionstheorie.- Substitutionale Produktionsfunktionen.- Limitationale Produktionsfunktionen.- Erweiterungsansätze auf dem Gebiet der statisch-deterministischen Produktionsfunktionen.- Dynamische und stochastische Erweiterungsansätze auf dem Gebiet der Produktionsfunktionen.- Empirische Geltung von Produktionsfunktionen.- Kostentheorie: Grundlagen der Kostentheorie und Minimalkostenkombination.- Kostenfunktionen auf der Basis spezieller Produktionsfunktionen.- Kombinierte Anpassungsprozesse bei mehreren funktionsgleichen Aggregaten.

One of the main novelties of this book is its establishment of a clear relationship between social and public choice on one hand and multiple criteria decision analysis on the other. This relationship leads to the new concept of Social Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE). SMCE is proposed as a policy framework to integrate different scientific languages, for example, when concerns about civil society and future generations have to be considered along with policy imperatives and market conditions. This can have beneficial consequences, not only for economic prosperity, but also when dealing with the difficult sustainability problems of our millennium. The methodological foundations of SMCE rest on concepts from fields such as economics, complex systems theory and philosophy. From a mathematical point of view, social choice is used to improve the axiomatic consistency of multi-criterion algorithms. The treatment of technical uncertainty (both stochastic and fuzzy) is also explored in depth.

Theory and Practice

The increasingly complex environment of today᾽s world, characterized by technological innovation and global communication, generates myriads of possible and actual interactions while limited physical and intellectual resources severely impinge on decision makers, be it in the public or private domains. At the core of the decisionmaking process is the need for quality information that allows the decision maker to better assess the impact of decisions in terms of outcomes, nonlinear feedback processes and time delays on the performance of the complex system invoked. This volume is a timely review on the principles underlying complex decision making, the handling of uncertainties in dynamic envrionments and of the various modeling approaches used.

Contents How to Improve Dynamic Decision Making? Theory and Practice.- Expertise in Dynamic Tasks.- Dynamic Handling of Uncertainty for Decision Making.- Using System Dynamics and Multiple Objective Optimization to Support Policy Analysis for Complex Systems.- Creation of Hydroelectric System Scheduling by Simulation.- Understanding the Complex Decision Making Using Non-Parametric Data Envelopment Analysis.- Using Group Model Building to Inform Public Policy Making and Implementation.Agents First! Using Agent-Based Simulation to Identify and Quantify Macro Stuctures.

This book offers a systematic critique of the scientific discourse of strategic management. It uncovers scholars᾽ unquestioned assumptions and shows that by upholding these assumptions reseachers obscure the paradoxical nature of strategic reasoning. To uncover the paradoxes of strategic management the author refers to the philosophy of Jacques Derrida. He uncovers the paradoxes that inevitably occur when theorizing about corporate strategy along the dimensions strategy context, process, and content and shows how these paradoxes can enrich future thinking about strategic problems. The analysis is completed by a discussion of theoretical and practical implications which highlight the need to research strategy not as something an organization has, but as something an organization does. Such a ‘practice perspective᾽ gives reference to the paradoxical ground that strategic management rests on and enriches scholars᾽ ability to reflect on practitioners᾽ tasks while ‘doing᾽ strategy in organizations.

Innovationen sind überlebenswichtig. Warum sind dann noch immer so viele Verantwortliche unzufrieden mit dem Innovationsmanagement ihres Unternehmens? Um wie eine hochleistungsfähige Maschine nachhaltig und in hohem Tempo erfolgreiche Innovationen in den Markt zu bringen, müssen sich die meisten Unternehmen neu aufstellen. Innovationsstrategie, -prozess, -portfolio, -struktur, -teams und die Innovationskultur müssen aufeinander abgestimmt werden. Auf den ersten Blick erscheint diese Aufgabe komplex. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie die weltbesten Innovatoren, z.B. Apple, Google, 3 M, Procter/Gamble, Toyota und Nokia dies erfolgreich tun. Unter Verwendung der Methode des Storytelling zeigt der Autor in der anschaulichen Sprache eines Unternehmenspraktikers, welche Maßnahmen einzuleiten sind, um die Innovationskultur auch Ihres Unternehmens erfolgreicher zu machen. Benchmarking mit den weltbesten Unternehmen und die Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse eines jeden Kapitels helfen bei der Umsetzung.

How closely correlated should church and state be? May a state recognize or dignify the role and meaning of religion at all, and if so can it treat different religious groups differently? This book intends to answer these questions through a portrayal and comparison of various legal orders including those of Germany, Israel, France and the USA. Some authors consider the issue of “church and state” from an international law perspective. The analyses are structured from both a state-institutional as well as from a fundamental rights and human rights perspective. Here the religious and secular freedoms are brought into focus. Whether, and how, these church-and-state aspects vary within divergent modern state contexts – and how they transnationally evolve – is also discussed.

Vom Staatenbund zum Bundesstaat? Die Europäische Union im Vergleich mit den USA, Deutschland und der Schweiz Häufig wird behauptet, die europäische Integration sei ein historisch einzigartiger Prozess und mit den traditionellen Begriffen der Staatslehre nicht mehr zu beschreiben; die EU sei weder ein Staatenbund noch ein Bundesstaat, sondern ein Gebilde sui generis. Das vorliegende Buch unterzieht diese These anhand eines historischen Vergleichs der europäischen Integration mit der Verfassungsentwicklung der USA, Deutschlands und der Schweiz einer kritischen Überprüfung. Der Vergleich zeigt, dass im institutionellen Bereich Parallelen zwischen der EU und diesen bundesstaatlichen Integrationsprozessen bestehen. Aber auch auf den Gebieten der rechtlichen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Integration sind ähnliche Entwicklungen zu beobachten. Ohne damit Stellung in der Debatte zur Finalität der europäischen Integration zu beziehen, hält die Arbeit fest, dass die EU kein Gebilde sui generis ist, sondern mit den traditionellen Begriffen der Staatslehre beschrieben werden kann.

Praxiswörterbuch Das österreichische Patienten- Europarecht verfügungsgesetz Ethische und rechtliche Aspekte In der Debatte um ethische Probleme am Lebensende spielt die Frage von Patientenverfügungen eine wichtige Rolle. Mit dem Patientenverfügungsgesetz 2006 soll einerseits die Autonomie des Patienten gestärkt werden, andererseits der behandelnde Arzt klar und leicht erkennen können, welche Folgen eine Patientenverfügung hat. Neben grundsätzlichen ethischen und rechtlichen Fragen befassen sich die Beiträge auch mit praktischen Aspekten der Umsetzung des neuen Patientenverfügungsgesetzes, z.B. seine Anwendung für ausländische Patienten, sozialrechtliche Aspekte, das Verhältnis Patientenverfügung – Vorsorgevollmacht sowie haftungsrechtliche Konsequenzen. Vergleichend zur neuen österreichischen Regelung wird die Rechtslage in anderen Ländern, wie u.a. in Deutschland und den USA näher beleuchtet. Zuletzt werden sowohl die praktischen Auswirkungen für den behandelnden Arzt als auch die Funktion der Patientenverfügung im Zusammenhang mit der Hospiz- und Palliativarbeit in Österreich erörtert.

Das neue Praxiswörterbuch Europarecht bereitet aus unterschiedlichsten Materien Fachbegriffe auf einer breiten Ebene prägnant auf. Im Besonderen werden auch die zentrale Rechtsprechung des EuGH und einschlägige Sekundärrechtsakte aufgenommen. Zu allen Stichworten findet man hervorragend erläuterte Artikel, deren Gliederung sowohl eine schnelle Übersicht als auch weiterführende Informationen vermitteln. Literaturverweise und Links für vertiefende Informationen ergänzen die Darstellung. Ein fachlich breit gestreutes AutorInnenteam aus Österreich und Deutschland stellen Wissenschaft und Praxis ein Werk zur Verfügung, das Ansprüchen nach rascher und übersichtlicher Information gerecht wird.

es New Seri Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice Series editor: M. Sellers

Ius Gentium is a new Springer series which discusses the central questions of law and justice from a comparative perspective. The books in this series collect the contrasting and and overlapping perspectives of lawyers, judges, philosophers and scholars of law from the world’s many different jurisdictions for the purposes of comparison, harmonisation, and the progressive development of law and legal institutions. Each volume makes a new comparative study of an important area of law. This book series continues the work of the wellknown journal of the same name and provides the basis for a better understanding of all areas of legal science. The Ius Gentium series provides a valuable resource for lawyers, judges, legislators, scholars, and both graduate students and researchers in globalisation, comparative law, legal theory and legal practice. The series has a special focus on the development of international legal standards and transnational legal cooperation.

M. Sellers, University of Baltimore, MD, USA (Ed.)

Autonomy in the Law Autonomy in the Law considers one of the most important benefits of the rule of law. Juxtaposing European and American conceptions of autonomy in the law of families, capital punishment and, criminal trials reveals the common values that justify all legal systems. Law protects the autonomy of individuals and associations by defending the boundaries of their own self-rule. This book illuminates the fundamental purpose of law by examining how European and American lawyers, judges and citizens do and should apply legal autonomy to the practical circumstances of litigation, legislation and the law.

Features 7 Compares European and American viewpoints 7 Considers the practical applications of the value of autonomy 7 Clarifies the conception of autonomy in the law

Meridian Dao Yin

Making Beautiful Deep-Sky Images

Übungen zur Aktivierung des Meridian Systems

Die Gesundheit ist die Basis für ein erfolgreiches und zufriedenes Leben. Die traditionelle chinesische Medizin sieht im Dao die Basis für unsere Gesundheit. Dieser Begriff wurde erstmals vor mehr als 2500 Jahren von Laozi als der beste Zustand des menschlichen Lebens geprägt. Laut Laozi ist er dann erreicht, wenn wir uns in innerer ganzheitlicher Harmonie, im Zustand von Gleichgewicht und Stabilität befinden und mit der Natur in Einklang stehen. In diesem Buch erhalten Sie wertvolles Hintergrundwissen zum Dao basierend auf Originalquellen. Die körperlichen Übungen des Meridian Daoyin - das Kleinod in der chinesischen Weisheit - werden erstmals umfassend von einem erfahrenen TCM Mediziner in Buchform präsentiert.

Pluspunkte 7 Meridian Dao Yin erstmals präsentiert 7 Ausgeglichenheit, Wohlbefinden durch tradiertes Wissen 7 Leicht umsetzbare Übungen, reich bebildert

Astrophotography with Aﬀordable Equipment and Software This book is based around the author’s beautiful and sometimes awe-inspiring color images and mosaics of deep-sky objects. The images were used as the basis of a public exhibition held at the University of Southampton (Summer 2006), attended by the press, local radio and TV interviewers as well as the public. The book describes how similar images can be created by amateur astronomers, using commercially available telescopes and CCD cameras. Subsequent processing and image enhancement in the “electronic darkroom” is covered in detail as well. Not everybody can afford the biggest and best telescopes and CCD cameras, so a range of telescopes and equipment is considered, from the author’s 11-inch with Hyperstar camera, down to more affordable instruments. Appendices provide links to free software – not available from a single source – and are themselves an invaluable resource.

M. Ross, Laser Space Signal Obervatory, Olivette, MO, USA

The Search for Extraterrestrials Intercepting Alien Signals In The Search for Extraterrestrial Signals, Monte Ross explores in detail the key problems in starting a search, the programs that have failed and those that continue. He includes the fundamental considerations and the physics of the necessary laser, UV, IR and RF technologies, as well as coding and information theory considerations. The author explores future possibilities providing the reader with a comprehensive view of the many ways signals from aliens could be sent and explains why the search using RF leaves more than 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum unexamined. He also demonstrates the many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, considering the next likely steps in this unique enterprise. Given man’s intrinsic nature to explore, the search will continue in one form or many, until success is achieved, which may be tomorrow or a millennium away.

Features

7 Describes how to take “Hubble class” deep-sky images from your back garden 7 Explains how to process digital astronomical images 7 Explains how to create your own awe-inspiring astronomical posters 7 Describes how to put together an astronomical imaging system using commercial equipment for deep-sky photography

Recent Advances in Palaeodemography

Evaluating Multiple Narratives

data, techniques, patterns

Beyond Nationalist, Colonialist, Imperialist Archaeologies

The written data used by demographers essentially cover the last five centuries. Since Homo ergaster moved out of Africa around 1.8 million years ago and until the sub-contemporary periods, there is no data allowing us to reconstruct a demographic history that can be interpreted with the traditional tools of demography. If we want to be able to tackle demographic issues over a long evolutionary duration, trying to reconstitute our human demographic history and thinking out and testing macro-demographic theories, we need to draw on sources other than written data and on techniques other than those commonly used by demographers. This necessarily means using information of every kind, from archaeology, physical anthropology, paleontology, primatology or genetics, along with relevant models of interpretation.

At the end of the 20th Century, archaeologists from non-Anglo-American countries started to become vocal about the “traditional” interpretations of history that archaeology was making. The “traditional” archaeology came from the predominantly white, male archaeologists from England and the United States going to other countries and interpreting the material culture from their point of view. This, of course, is still happening but is becoming less acceptable nor accepted by the global world of archaeology. The goal of this volume is to use archaeological case studies from around the world to evaluate the implications of providing alternative interpretations of the past.

Features Features 7 Covers recent paleodemographic innovations, in terms of data, techniques and the detection of patterns

7 Brings together international cases to discuss multivocality in archaeology 7 The editors all have experience working in Anglo-American and underrepresented areas of the world and can edit a book on multivocality with authority

New Perspectives in Political Ethnography The use of ethnographic research - social research based on the observation of individuals or institutions where the researcher becomes part of the group or very close to the group to better understand their actions - is becoming more and more of a prevalent methodology within sociology. As ethnography gains prominence within the discipline its focus, theoretical underpinnings and narrative styles are also expanding to the yet-unexamined worlds and institutions of society. Politics, political institutions, and those working in politics (state officials, politicians and activists) have so far missed the lens of the ethnographer. As a group, politicians and those in politics can be found in every corner of the world. While political systems and politicians are by no means the same in every country, what brings these people together to be part of the political process?

Negotiations and E-Negotiations

J. Robine, E. M. Crimmins, S. Horiuchi, Y. Zeng (Eds.)

Human Longevity, Individual Life Duration, and the Growth of the Oldest-Old Population

Analysis, Management and Support This volume provides software designers and developers with a single point of entry where they can find knowledge about negotiators and negotiations coming from human and social sciences. Several chapters are devoted to behavioral issues with an effort to present this knowledge in a structured and organized manner. To this end a common terminology is proposed, representations providing high-level perspectives are formulated, and the leading theories and models are categorized. The book also presents formal models and procedures for software-based negotiation tools. Many of them have already found their ways into production software; others may do so in the near future. They are a springboard for the design of new models and procedures. They also offer a bridge between behavioral research and engineering by providing insights into standard types of behaviors and understanding of the opportunities for activities undertaken by software.

Old-age survival has considerably improved in the second half of the twentieth century. Life expectancy in wealthy countries has increased, on average, from 65 years in 1950 to 76 years in 2005. The rise was more spectacular in some countries: the life expectancy for Japanese women rose from 62 years to 86 years during the same period. Driven by this longevity extension, the population aged 80 and over in those countries has grown fivefold from 8.5 million in 1950 to 44.5 million in 2005. Why has such a substantial extension of human lifespan occurred? How long can we live? In this book, these fundamental questions are explored by experts from such diverse fields as biology, medicine, epidemiology, demography, sociology, and mathematics: they report on recent cutting-edge studies about essential issues of human longevity such as evolution of lifespan of species, genetics of human longevity, reasons for the recent improvement in survival of the elderly.

Features

7 Living longer and healthier has been a goal of human beings for thousands of years, but we know little about it 7 Distinguished experts in the field of healthy aging/ longevity address strategically important issues of “living longer and healthier” 7 Presents county-specific studies and crossnational comparisons with easy-to-read texts, based on longitudinal and cross-sectional data from North America, Europe, and Asia

Rediscovering Phenomenology

Gegenstandstheorie und Réapprendre à voir le monde Theorie der Intentionalität bei Merleau-Ponty face au miroir lacanien Alexius Meinong

Phenomenological Essays on Mathematical Beings, Physical Reality, Perception and Consciousness Beyond their remarkable technical accomplishments, the new directions taken by the sciences in recent decades call for renewal of their epistemological basis. The purpose of this book is to show that Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, if properly re-examined, provides the required framework for such an epistemology. This re-examination is both critical and constructive. (i) The absolute subjectivization or the full naturalization of consciousness must be rejected. (ii) The necessarily transcendental character of phenomenology is put to work in the search for a systematic connection between the modes of theoretical objectivation and the apprehension of the phenomenal world by intentional consciousness. A new look at some of the fundamental issues opened up by Husserl is thus suggested by recent advances in the theory of perception, attention, and the will; foundations of mathematics and formal logic; space-time or quantum physics.

Alexius Meinong (1853–1920) nimmt in der Geschichte der Ontologie eine ausgezeichnete Stellung ein. Er war der erste Philosoph, der in systematischer Weise eine quasi-ontologische Disziplin entwickelte, die im Vergleich zu der Disziplin, die man traditionell Metaphysik oder Ontologie nennt, viel allgemeiner sein sollte. Die Metaphysik untersucht das Seiende als Seiendes, und die seienden Entitäten bilden – so die These Meinongs – nur ein kleines Fragment dessen, was man unter dem Namen „Gegenstandstheorie“ untersuchen kann.

Inhalt Einführung. 1. Intentionalität und immanente Objekte. Die Lehre Franz Brentanos. 2. Abstraktion und Relationen. Der junge Meinong. 3. Inhalt und Gegenstand. Meinongs Lehre um 1900. 4. Die Lehre von den Objektiven (1902). 5. Gegenstandstheorie (1904–1920). 6. Meinongs Gegenstände und die intentionale Beziehung. 7. Meinong’sche „Konstitutionssysteme“. 8. Die Logik des Außerseins.

Features 7 Encompasses a coherent manifold of important subjects and central issues in the fields of the neurosciences, the phenomenology, the philosophy of mathematics, of logic and of mind 7 Proposes a new phenomenological analysis of the questions of perception and cognition which are of paramount importance for a better understanding of those processes which underlies the formation of knowledge and consciousness

Zielgruppen Philosophen, interessiert in Ontologie, Gegenstandstheorie, Intentionalitätstheorie, Philosophie des Geistes, und in Österreichischer Philosophie

This book develops a notion of philosophy as perceptual learning, by re-interpreting “MerleauPonty’s Phenomenology of Perception”. The empirical subject and her natural attitude are summoned to retrieve the pre-objective layer which founds the objective world, and the living body which founds the constituted, alienated body. But empirical life seems to resist this call, so that phenomenology, unwilling to explicitly criticize the natural attitude, nonetheless disavows it by turning to limit cases of this attitude, cases of pathological disorder. Dorfman argues that understanding pathology would allow us to understand the resistance of normal life to the phenomenological call.

Features 7 A new interpretation of the phenomenological method as a praxis 7 A unique combination of phenomenology and psychoanalysis 7 A novel look at the relationship between normality and pathology 7 A clear and thorough introduction to the theories of Merleau-Ponty and Lacan

Levinas in Jerusalem: Phenomenology, Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics

Platonism at the Origins of Modernity

A disciple of Husserl and Heidegger, a contemporary of Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, Levinas entirely renewed the way of thinking ethics in our times. In contrast to the whole tradition of Western philosophy, he considered ethics neither as an aspiration to individual perfection, nor as the highest branch in the Cartesian tree of knowledge, but as “first philosophy”. By putting into question the priority of Being, by seeing responsibility for the other person as the very structure of subjectivity, Levinas initiated a new understanding of time, freedom or language. This book is a collection of papers given at the International Conference “Levinas in Jerusalem” held at the Hebrew University in May 2002. 2006 marks the Centennial of Levinas’ birth. At this occasion, this book gives an overview of the most fecund areas of research in Levinas scholarship.

Features 7 In contrast with other studies which separate Levinas’ philosophical writings from his Jewish ones, the book focuses on their many interactions 7 Numerous studies focus on the relationship between Levinas’ ethics and his politics, a field that evokes a growing interest in academic circles as well as in the larger audience 7 Presents papers writen by worldwide renowned Levinas scholars as well as by young promising ones

Studies on Platonism and Early Modern Philosophy This collection of essays offers an overview of the range and breadth of Platonic philosophy in the early modern period, examining both the philosophers of Platonic tradition (e.g. Cusanus, Ficino, and Cudworth), and the impact of Platonism on major philosophers of the period (especially Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Shaftesbury and Berkeley). By demonstrating the vitality of the Platonic tradition in the period this collection challenges the received view that Platonism made little or no contribution in the emergence of modern philosophy.

Features 7 The first wide-ranging exporation of Platonism and early modern philosophy 7 Challenges the received picture of modern philosophy as a rejection of the medieval Platonic-Aristotelian synthesis 7 Profices a nuanced re-reading of the sources of modern thought

Part One: Phenomenology. Leaving the Climate of Heidegger’s Thinking. The Presence of Being and Time in Totality and Infinity.-The Theoretical to the Rescue of Levinas.

Husserl’s Logical Investigations in the New Century: Western and Chinese Perspectives This volume is the first of its kind in which phenomenologists from the West join hands with specialists from mainland China and Hong Kong to discuss the heritage of Husserl’s Logical Investigations. Whereas all Western contributors to the volume are scholars who possess indubitable authority in phenomenology, their Chinese counterparts are much less well-known in the Western academic arena. Yet the latters’ contributions are of the utmost interest. From them readers will learn of the early reception of Husserl’s Logical Investigations in China. They will also understand in what way Husserl’s doctrine of intentionality of consciousness in the Logical Investigations has paved the way to Scheler’s phenomenology of feeling, to a novel phenomenological explication of religious experience, as well as to the little known young Foucault’s tentative formulation of a paradoxical phenomenology of the dream.

Intentional Acts and Institutional Facts Essays on John Searle’s Social Ontology

Advisory board: N. Bobbio, R. Dworkin, L. Friedman, K. Haakonssen Assistant editor: A. Rotolo Associate editors: G. Postema, P. Stein Editor-in-chief: E. Pattaro

The Treatise of Legal Philosophy and General Jurisprudence is a comprehensive treatment of the issues in legal philosophy and general jurisprudence. This major reference work will consist of a Theoretical Part, 5 volumes, to be published in 2005, and a Historical Part, 6 volumes, scheduled to be published by the end of 2006. The work is aimed at jurists and at legal and practical philosophers. The theoretical part covers the main topics of contemporary debate. The historical volumes account for the development of legal thought from ancient Greek times through the twentieth century.

„Erfahrung und Ausdruck“ zeichnet in detaillierten Untersuchungen einen Umbruch innerhalb der Phänomenologie nach, der bereits bei Husserl einsetzt, sein eigentliches Gewicht aber erst bei späteren Nachfolgern wie Merleau-Ponty und Richir, Levinas und Waldenfels, Marion und Ricœur erhält. Die Phänomenologie unserer Zeit hält sich kaum mehr allein an die Innenbetrachtung der Erlebnisse eines Ichsubjekts; sie kehrt vielmehr Sinnbildungsprozesse hervor, die nicht in einer Sinngebung durch das Bewußtsein aufgehen, sondern für das bewußte Subjekt unverfügbare Momente ans Licht bringen.

Aus dem Inhalt

This book includes ten original essays in three parts that critically examine central themes of John Searle’s ontology of society, as well as a new essay by Searle that summarizes and further develops his work in that area. Part I (Aspects of Collective Intentionality) examines the account of collective intention and action underlying Searle’s analysis of social and institutional facts, with special emphasis on how that account relates to the dispute between individualism and anti-individualism in the analysis of social behaviour, and to the opposition between internalism and externalism in the analysis of intentionality. Part II (From Intentions to Institutions: Development and Evolution) scrutinizes the ontogenetic and phylogenetic credentials of Searle’s view that, unlike other kinds of social facts, institutional facts are uniquely human, and develops original suggestions concerning their place in human evolution and development.

Timing and Temporality in Islamic Philosophy and Phenomenology of Life From time immemorial, concern with timing of life has been crucial for the regulation of human praxis as well as for the philosophical quest to understand existence by seeking its meaning. The two used to inform each other, until modernity, when they parted. In spite of the extensive progress in manipulating change and motion, and of the abundance of metaphysical attempts to enlighten human beings about their fate, the puzzling nature of temporality and timing of reality remains controversial. The present collection of studies seeks a new answer by initiating a novel investigation informed by the ancient wisdom of the Greaco-ArabicIslamic sources and inheritance, on the one side, and the contemporary discernment of Occidental phenomenology of life, on the other, in a common dialogical effort to unravel this great enigma of existence.

Features 7 Bringing out the phenomenon of change in our experience of the temporal unfolding of reality brings a challenge to the ancient classic and contemporary conception of temporality of life tied to some metaphysical conceptions of time and being 7 Consequently, the temporality of the real calls for an essential revision

Man as a Place of God Levinas‘ Hermeneutics of Kenosis

Man as a Place of God is an examination of Levinas’ philosophy of religion in the light of his ethics and anthropology. It provides a lively introduction to the main themes of Levinas’ thought and offers critical perspectives on Levinas by relating his work to that of Heidegger, Ricoeur, Rorty, Derrida and Vattimo. The focus of interpretation is the hermeneutics of ‘kenosis’: the subject’s ability to be open towards the other to the point where man can be seen as a place of ‘God’, a place where the infinite attains to finite existence. Does this mean that the kenotic subject totally disappears from the arena of his own life, to reach out for a sublime existence that is no longer of ‘this world’ – as in the philosophy of Plato, Plotinus and certain mystical thinkers?

Features 7 Offers an interpretation of Levinas’ philosophy of religion from the perspective of kenosis 7 Relates Levinas’ anthropology to his philosophy of religion 7 Compares Levinas’ hermeneutics of the self with that of Heidegger and Rorty 7 Discusses Levinas’ idea of the infinite by forging a dialogue with Derrida, Vattimo and Ricoeur

Contents Introduction. Part 1. Hermeneutics of the kenotic self. 1. Time and Identity in Heidegger and Levinas: A Never Ending Conversation. 2. Care for Ourselves and Care for Others: Levinas and Rorty. 3. The Other of the Other: on Levinas and Derrida. Part 2. Ethics, religion and kenosis. 4. Evil, Transcendence and God. 5.

De l‘éthique à la justice Langage et politique dans la philosophie de Lévinas

Emmanuel Lévinas est le philosophe de la non-indifférence; il n’est en aucune sorte un philosophe indifférent. Son inquiétude personnelle et engagement politique ont trouvé une expression philosophique dans une quête à deux versants. Dans le versant ontologique, il cherche à montrer que même si l’homme est l’événement de compréhension de l’être, tout l’homme et toute signification ne se réduisent pas à la compréhension de l’être seul. Dans le versant politique, il s’interroge sur la possibilité de soumettre la tendance totalitaire de toute politique à une recherche de justice qui ne dépend pas finalement de la politique même. Mais ces deux versants n’en font qu’un. La découverte d’une signification qui excède la compréhension de l’être – l’éthique – fournit en même temps la source de renouvellement de la justice.

Features 7 Precise and advanced and exegesis of Levinas’ work 7 New approaches to some major aspects of Levinas’ work, made possible by attention to Levinas’ relation to the first Heidegger 7 Raises or develops essential questions and criticism of Levinas’ work 7 The study has neither an apologetic nor a polemic intention or thrust

Understanding Nature Case Studies in Comparative Epistemology

This book starts from the conviction that there are other ways of knowing about nature besides science. Notably, literary documents (novels, plays, poems) on nature and the natural entities (landscapes, animals, plant forms) may be based on careful observations, quite elaborate and true to life. Comparative epistemology is the discipline that tries to assess, in a critical manner, the relative validity and value of various knowledge forms. This volume presents a series of case studies in comparative epistemology, critically comparing the works of prominent representatives of the life sciences (such as Aristotle, Darwin, Mendel and many others) with the writings of their literary counterparts (Andersen, Melville, Verne, Ibsen, and many others). It constitutes a major contribution to the expanding field of Science and Literature Studies, allowing basic insights from the sciences and the humanities to mutually challenge and enlighten one another.

Features 7 Highly original contribution to science and literature studies and philosophy of science 7 Broad scope and vision 7 Bringing together fields of inquiry that tend to be seen as completely separate from one another

From the contents Part I: Introduction. 1: Comparative epistemology. 2: Antecedents – comparative epistemology as an outcome.- Part II: Animal epistemology. 3: What is an animal? A comparative epistemology of animals. 4: What is a whale? Moby Dick, marine science and the sublime. 5: Animal experiments and the novel.

Diﬀerential Subject Marking Although (almost) all sentences have subjects, not all sentences encode their subjects in the same way. Some languages overtly mark some subjects, but not others, depending on certain features of the subject argument or the sentence in which the subject figures. This phenomenon is known as Differential Subject Marking (DSM). Languages differ in which conditions govern DSM. Some languages differentiate their subjects on the basis of semantic features of the argument such as thematic role, volitionality, animacy, whereas others differentiate on the basis of clausal features such as tense/aspect and the main/dependent clause distinction. DSM comes in different formal guises: case marking, agreement, inverse systems, and voice alternations. Relatively much is known about cross-linguistic variation in the marking of subjects, yet little attempt has been made to formalize the facts. This volume aims to unify formal approaches to language and presents both specific case studies of DSM and theoretical approaches.

Features 7 Contains numerous illuminating discussions of Differential Subject Marking from languages all over the world 7 Provides an important step forwards in our understanding the complex nature of Differential Subject Marking (complex as compared to Differential Object Marking) 7 Shows that Differential Subject Marking is often the result of interactions between conflicting constraints on language use

Contents Preface.- Contributors.- List of Abbreviations.Cross-linguistic Variation in Differential Subject Marking.- Differential Subject Marking at Argument Structure, Syntax, and PF.- Quantitative Variation in Korean Case Ellipsis: Implications for Case Theory.- Ergative Case-marking in Hindi.

The Linearization of Aﬃxes: Evidence from Nuu-chahnulth The linearization of syntactic constructs stands at the forefront of current research on the syntaxphonology interface. This book examines the problem of linearization from a new perspective: that of the linearization of affixes. The driving proposal of this book is that affixation provides a means of satisfying the universal requirement that linguistic outputs be linearized. This hypothesis is tested against extensive original data from Nuu-chah-nulth (“Nootka”; Wakashan family), an endangered Amerindian language remarkable for its complex morphology. This volume introduces typologically rare affixation effects to current theoretical debates surrounding the division of labour between the modules of the grammar.

Features 7 Develops the innovative argument that affixation constitutes a means of satisfying the universal requirement that linguistic expressions be linearized 7 Brings to light a range of new empirical data which is of central relevance to current debates on the nature of head movement

Contents 1 Introduction.- 2 PF Incorporation.- 3 Clausal architecture of Nuu-chah-nulth.- 4 Nominal complements of affixal predicates.- 5 Verbal complements of affixal predicates.- 6 Implications.References.- Appendix: Orthography.
