Overview: Is based on an extensive collection of previously unpublished material by and about Haas.Provides new insights into scientific developments and key protagonists during the early twentieth century.Desc.The book highlights the personal and scientific struggles of Arthur Erich Haas (1884-1941), an Austrian Physicist from a wealthy Jewish middle-class family, whose remarkable accomplishments in a politically hostile but scientifically rewarding environment deserve greater recognition..Haas was a fellow student of both Lise Meitner and Erwin Schrödinger and was also one of the last doctor

Overview: The constructive approach to mathematics has enjoyed a renaissance, caused in large part by the appearance of Errett Bishop‘s book Foundations of constr"uctiue analysis in 1967, and by the subtle influences of the proliferation of powerful computers. Bishop demonstrated that pure mathematics can be developed from a constructive point of view while maintaining a continuity with classical terminology and spirit; much more of classical mathematics was preserved than had been thought possible, and no classically false theorems resulted, as had been the case in other constructive schools

Overview: The modern field of asset pricing asks for sound pricing models grounded on the theory of financial economies a la Ingersoll (1987) as weIl as for accu­ rate estimation techniques a la Hamilton (1994b) when it comes to empirical inferences of the specified model. The idea behind this book on hand is to provide the reader with a canonical framework that shows how to bridge the gap between the continuous-time pricing practice in financial engineering and the capital market data inevitably only available at discrete time intervals. Three major financial markets are to be examined for wh

Overview: Movies, television, and American culture permeates even the most remote reaches of the globe in unprecedented levels. What affect does the spread of the American zeitgeist have on global perceptions of the US?

Overview: Since 1961, when pain therapy was introduced by Bonica, the-re have been world-wide efforts to establish basic regimensfor the treatment of chronic pain. Yet many patients stillcontinue to suffer from intractable paindespite the availa-bility of effective treatment that would greatlyimprovetheir quality of life. The lack of specialists familiarwithrecent developments is one of the causes. There is con-sequently a great demand for interdisciplinary pain clinicsand specialist training programs.This book constitutes both a valuable introduction andanoverview of current basic regimens an

Overview: Offers a cortical-inspired point of view on image processing.Provides fast and efficient methods for image inpainting and recognition.Presents a new theoretical framework for roto-translation invarianThis book proposes a semi-discrete version of the theory of Petitot and Citti-Sarti, leading to a left-invariant structure over the group .SE(2,N)., restricted to a finite number of rotations. This apparently very simple group is in fact quite atypical: it is maximally almost periodic, which leads to much simpler harmonic analysis compared to .SE(2).. Based upon this semi-discrete model,

Overview: This book examines ground neglected so far: the vocational trainers’ pedagogical ethos.It is nearly impossible to overestimate the significance of a professional ethos in pedagogical situations. Most theories of education understand ethos and ethical acting as belonging to the core of the pedagogical profession. Despite this evidence, remarkably few empirical studies exist on ethos. This book has three main aims: 1) to conceptualize the pedagogical ethos at the theoretical level, 2) to operationalize it systematically, and 3) to study it empirically from the trainers’ perspective but
