In the last decade, several different optical imaging techniques, either based on various voltage or calcium dyes, or more recently on modified fluorescent or bioluminescent proteins (genetically enco
Since the seminal work of P. Anderson in 1958, localization in disordered systems has been the object of intense investigations. Mathematically speaking, the phenomenon can be described as follows: th
This thesis presents a highly innovative study of the ultrafast structural and vibrational dynamics of hydrated phospholipids, the basic constituents of cell membranes. As a novel approach to the wate
Story-Telling – die hohe Kunst des Geschichtenerzahlens – ist ein bedeutendes Instrument, um Mitarbeitern, Kunden oder der interessierten Offentlichkeit komplizierte Sachverhalte anschaulich zu erklar
Von Rene Konig liegen ein umfangreicher Briefwechsel vor, der die Zeit von 1920 bis kurz vor seinen Tod 1992 umspannt, sowie zahlreiche Wurdigungen und Nachrufe. Aus diesen beiden Quellen ergibt sich
Der Band dokumentiert anhand sehr vielfaltiger Publikationsformate in sieben thematischen Blocken Rene Konig als akademischen Lehrer und in seiner Bedeutung fur die Neukonstituierung der Soziologie in

Im letzten Viertel des 19. Jahrhunderts entsteht ein neues Krisenbewusstsein der entwickelten Gesellschaften, die einen raschen sozialen Wandel durchlaufen. Gesellschaftstheoretische EntwA?rfe werden
Rene Konig verfasste sein Buch uber Machiavelli in einer Lebensphase, die ihm selbst als personliche und epochale Zeitenwende erschien. Erstmals 1941 in der schweizerischen Emigration veroffentlicht,
Have you ever wondered why even large companies fail when faced with changes in their environment? Would you be surprised to learn that the average life expectancy of a Fortune 500 company is below 50
EugA"ne Charles Catalan made his famous conjecture - that 8 and 9 are the only two consecutive perfect powers of natural numbers - in 1844 in a letter to the editor of Crelle's mathematical journal.
Selected from papers presented at the 8th Scientific Computation in Electrical Engineering conference in Toulouse in 2010, the contributions to this volume cover every angle of numerically modelling e
This is the first book at the graduate textbook level to discuss analyzing financial data with S-PLUS. Its originality lies in the introduction of tools for the estimation and simulation of heavy tail
Astronomical Optics and Elasticity Theory provides a very thorough and comprehensive account of what is known in this field. After an extensive introduction to optics and elasticity, the book discusse
This two-volume book offers a comprehensive treatment of the probabilistic approach to mean field game models and their applications. The book is self-contained in nature and includes original materia

Image Analysis in Earth Sciences is a graduate level textbook for researchers and students interested in the quantitative microstructure and texture analysis of earth materials. Methods of analysis an
Petri Nets were introduced and still successfully used to analyze and model discrete event systems especially in engineering and computer sciences such as in automatic control. Recently this discrete
This book is devoted exclusively to Lebesgue spaces and their direct derived spaces. Unique in its sole dedication, this book explores Lebesgue spaces, distribution functions and nonincreasing rearran
This authored volume presents the fundamentals of NeuroIS, which is an emerging subfield within the information system discipline that makes use of neuroscience and neurophysiological tools and theori
The official death rates from suicide vary considerably between countries in the world for which data are available. They range from 3 to 45 persons a year, per 100,000 of population. Historically, th
Permeated by the author's delightful humor, this little book explains, with nearly no mathematics, the main conceptual issues associated with quantum mechanics: The issue of determinism. Does quantu
This book describes several mathematical models of the primary visual cortex, referring them to a vast ensemble of experimental data and putting forward an original geometrical model for its functiona
This book is the first of its kind, providing in-depth analysis of the retrograde evolution occurring during major extinction periods. The text offers a non-strictly adaptative explanation of repetiti
Physicists sometimes talk as if a cat could be both dead and alive, or as if the moon was not there when nobody looks at it, or as if two particles could interact even when they are arbitrarily far fr
Konsum ist langst mehr als nur ein Anhangsel der Produktion. Vielmehr ist er ein universales Zeichensystem geworden, in dem hedonistische Konsumwunsche und moralische Konsumkritik nebeneinander koexis

This books gives an introduction to discrete mathematics for beginning undergraduates. One of original features of this book is that it begins with a presentation of the rules of logic as used in math
This is the first book on a hot topic in the field of control of nonlinear systems. It ranges from mathematical system theory to practical industrial control applications and addresses two fundamental
This book is a well-informed and detailed analysis of the problems and development of algebraic topology, from Poincare and Brouwer to Serre, Adams, and Thom. The author has examined each significant
Learning spaces offer a rigorous mathematical foundation for practical systems of educational technology. Learning spaces generalize partially ordered sets and are special cases of knowledge spaces. T
This book treats cavitation, which is a unique phenomenon in the field of hyd- dynamics, although it can occur in any hydraulic machinery such as pumps, propellers, artificial hearts, and so forth. Ca
