It is prepared under the auspices of the Interna­ tional Astronomical Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970). Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a com­ prehensive documentation of literature in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Volume 15/16 contains author and subject indexes of volumes 1 - 10, covering the literature from

Overview: Explores the work of A.P. Morse and his development of a formal language for writing mathematics.Guides readers through Morse’s unique perspective on mathematics with substantial commentary by the ediThis volume explores A.P. Morse’s (1911-1984) development of a formal language for writing mathematics, his application of that language in set theory and mathematical analysis, and his unique perspective on mathematics. The editor brings together a variety of Morse’s works in this compilation, including Morse‘s book .A Theory of Sets, Second Edition (1986)., in addition to material from

Overview: Conceptual and problematic aspects.Misconceptions and unresolved issues rather than conventional formalistic aspects and models.Emphasis on physical phenomena and observations.This book is a second completely revised edition of An Informal Introduction to Turbulence. The main emphasis is on conceptual and problematic aspects, physical phenomena, observations, misconceptions and unresolved issues rather than on conventional formalistic aspects, models, etc. Apart from the obvious fundamental importance of turbulent flows such an emphasis is a consequence of the view that without corre

Overview: Jede Tätigkeit in der Verwaltung beschäftigt sich mit einer Menge schriftlicher Arbeiten, die ihr nicht selten den Vorwurf büro­ kratischer Schwerfälligkeit, unverständlicher Vielschreiberei und unproduktiven Papierverbrauchs einbringt. Ob mit Recht oder nicht, einmal wurden diese Arbeiten unter dem Druck des Augenblicks für nötig befunden und laufen dann nach gleichem Schema in den eingefahrenen Gleisen innerbetrieblicher Gewohnheit unaufhaltsam weiter. Auf dem Arbeitsgebiet des internen Schriftverkehrs, dessen Ausmaß beträchtlich ist, ist eine geplante und gegliederte Arbeitsweise

Overview: Advancements in digital sensor technology, digital image analysis techniques, as well as computer software and hardware have brought together the fields of computer vision and photogrammetry, which are now converging towards sharing, to a great extent, objectives and algorithms. The potential for mutual benefits by the close collaboration and interaction of these two disciplines is great, as photogrammetric know-how can be aided by the most recent image analysis developments in computer vision, while modern quantitative photogrammetric approaches can support computer vision activitie

Overview: Wireless networking enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols without network cables. Since their emergence in the 1970s, wireless networks have become increasingly pop­ ular in the computing industry. In the past decade, wireless networks have enabled true mobility. There are currently two versions of mobile wireless networks. An infrastructure network contains a wired backbone with the last hop being wireless. The cellular phone system is an exam­ ple of an infrastructure network. A multihop ad hoc wireless network has no infrastructure and is th

Overview: Offers an innovative approach to elementary number theory motivated by right triangles.Inspires students to explore number theory through investigation of concrete examples.Provides historical context.Right triangles are at the heart of this textbook’s vibrant new approach to elementary number theory. Inspired by the familiar Pythagorean theorem, the author invites the reader to ask natural arithmetic questions about right triangles, then proceeds to develop the theory needed to respond. Throughout, students are encouraged to engage with the material by posing questions, working thro

Overview: In an innovative reading of fin-de-siecle cultural texts, Miller argues that British representations of America, Americans, and Anglo-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century provided an important forum for cultural distinction.978-1-349-28813-7978-0-230-11462-3

Using case studies, A Better World, Inc . delineates best practices for businesses to maximize revenues and reduce costs.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: ."Advanced Techniques in Soil Microbiology" presents a wide range of biotechnological methods for application in soil microbiology analysis. These include all essential methods involving molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, and structural biology, such as transcriptome analysis, RNAi technology, molecular matchmaking, RAPD, T-RFLP and FT/MS...The techniques and procedures have been selected with the aim of offering practical guides for immediate use in the laboratory. The systems investigated range from individual molecules and cells to entire

Overview: Comprehensive analysis and application multi-criteria decision-making methods.Provides detailed information about MCDM and their usage.Presents the state-of-the-art MCDM methods.Offers applications ofThe use of a multi-criteria, decision-making theory was first studied in the 1970s. Its application in civil and environmental engineering is a new approach which can be enormously helpful for manufacturing companies, students, managers, engineers, etc. The purpose of this book is to provide a resource for students and researchers that includes current application of a multi-criteria, de

Overview: In a rare combination of comprehensive coverage and sustained critical focus, this book examines Japanese history in its entirety to identify the factors underlying the nation‘s progression to superpower status. Japan‘s achievement is explained not merely in economic terms, but at a more fundamental level, as a product of historical patterns of response to circumstance. Japan is shown to be a nation historically impelled by a pragmatic determination to succeed. The book also highlights unresolved questions and little-known facts.978-0-230-50292-5

Overview: Addresses the complex solution architecture of maritime logistics ecosystem development.Provides an interdisciplinary overview on the development of the Arctic region and the Northern Sea Route.Curate.The modern shipping industry has reached maturity; market demand and landscape shifts force industry agents to find new pathways to successful development. The Northern Sea Route (NSR) as a new pathway between Europe and Asia brings both opportunities and challenges to global logistics systems. These circumstances make commercial exploitation of the route a subject of intense focus in m

Overview: This book is primarily based on the research done by the Numerical Analysis Group at the Goethe-Universitat in Frankfurt/Main, and on material presented in several graduate courses by the author between 1977 and 1981. It is hoped that the text will be useful for graduate students and for scientists interested in studying a fundamental theoretical analysis of numerical methods along with its application to the most diverse classes of differential and integral equations. The text treats numerous methods for approximating solutions of three classes of problems: (elliptic) boundary-value

Overview: By investigating the major changes of world history during the past five hundred years, this book provides the necessary global perspective to understand the geopolitical and geoeconomic changes facing us today. We have reached a crucial transitional stage in world history in which the world will no longer be shaped by the single image of western modernism, but increasingly by the image of all cultures and civilizations. The need to take a world view - which this book provides - has become acute.978-0-333-97163-5978-0-230-55466-5
