Overview: Advances in Soil Science is a review series relevant to all areas of soil science. These reviews, intended primarily for scientists, teachers, and students of soil science, also provide technical background information for many additional workers and groups interested in our natural resources and man‘s influence on them. This is the eighth volume in the series with an international list of contributors from the United States, India, Canada and New Zealand. It contains four review chapters on the following subjects: factors affecting aluminum transformations in soil; soil productivity

Overview: Designed for applied economists who have an interest in the advantages of traditional nonparametric methods (DEA/FDH) for efficiency analysis, but are sceptical about adopting them because of the draw.Providing a systematic and comprehensive treatment of recent developments in efficiency analysis, this readable book makes available an intuitive yet rigorous presentation of advanced nonparametric and robust methods. This flexible toolbox can be used in theories based on the neoclassical theory of production and its alternatives, including evolutionary theories. The methods are complem

Overview: Features state-of-the-art, concrete and real-world applications in various fields of engineering/applied sciences.Contributions written by active and leading research groups.Useful as both a referenceChaos and nonlinear dynamics initially developed as a new emergent field with its foundation in physics and applied mathematics. The highly generic, interdisciplinary quality of the insights gained in the last few decades has spawned myriad applications in almost all branches of science and technology—and even well beyond. Wherever the quantitative modeling and analysis of complex, nonli

Overview: Aims to capture something of the liveliness of the Japanese citizenry during the period in question.Integrates multi-media analysis within a more conventional approach to cultural history.Covers the eScholarship on Japan’s development from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century has, perhaps quite understandably, been dominated by attention given to Japan’s emergence as a world power through a succession of military conflicts, and the burgeoning of a modern literary canon. This book argues that the emergence of empire and high culture needs to be more thoroughly in

Overview: First systematical and at the same time the most comprehensive presentation of the large body of knowledge one has gained for Toeplitz operators, including many techniques and results that are due to This book was originally intended as an extended version of our book "Invertibility and Asymptotics of Toeplitz Matrices", which appeared in 1983. We planned to discuss several topics in more detail, but our main concern was to incorporate a whole series of new results obtained during the last few years. However, we soon realized that the program we had in mind required new thoughts from

Overview: .Arc Routing: Theory, Solutions and Applications. is aboutarc traversal and the wide variety of arc routing problems, which hashad its foundations in the modern graph theory work of Leonhard Euler.Arc routing methods and computation has become a fundamentaloptimization concept in operations research and has numerousapplications in transportation, telecommunications, manufacturing, theInternet, and many other areas of modern life. The book draws from avariety of sources including the traveling salesman problem (TSP) andgraph theory, which are used and studied by operations research,en

Overview: Many dynamical systems are described by differential equations that can be separated into one part, containing linear terms with constant coefficients, and a second part, relatively small compared with the first, containing nonlinear terms. Such a system is said to be weakly nonlinear. The small terms rendering the system nonlinear are referred to as perturbations. A weakly nonlinear system is called quasi-linear and is governed by quasi-linear differential equations. We will be interested in systems that reduce to harmonic oscillators in the absence of perturbations. This book is de

Overview: These proceedings present the technical contributions to the First Conference on A- tions, Market Mechanisms, and Their Applications (AMMA), held May 8-9, 2009 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The conference was devoted to issues that arise in all stages of deploying a market mechanism to solve a problem, including theoretical and empirical examinations. In addition to more traditional academic papers, the conf- ence placed emphasis on experiences from the real world, including case studies and new applications. The main goal of AMMA was to explore the synergy required for good mechani

Overview: Clear and comprehensible introduction to approximation theory and its applications.Offers a constructive approach to methods and algorithms.Contains a large number of examples and exercises.This textbook offers an accessible introduction to the theory and numerics of approximation methods, combining classical topics of approximation with recent advances in mathematical signal processing, and adopting a constructive approach, in which the development of numerical algorithms for data analysis plays an important role...The following topics are covered:..* least-squares approximation and

Overview: Dieses Buch beinhaltet eine Einführung in die statistische Informationstheorie, die von Shannon 1948 begründet wurde. Ich gebe dieses Buch heraus, da die Vorlesung auch den Anwendungen dieser Theorie auf algorithmische Probleme nachgeht. Daß die Entropie einer Quelle als untere Schranke für die Laufzeit von Suchprogrammen verwendet werden kann, ist seit 20 Jahren bekannt, ohne daß aber die Konzepte der Informationstheorie eine systematische Anwendung in diesem Bereich erfahren haben. So wurden Markovquellen im Zusammenhang mit effizienten Suchverfahren bei geordneten Schlüsseln erstm

Overview: Während die Fragen der Marktforschung in der deutschen und aus­ ländischen Literatur bereits eine umfassende Behandlung erfahren haben, gibt es auf dem Gebiet der kurz- und langfristigen Absatzplanung nur wenig Untersuchungen von Rang. Es erscheint mir deshalb an der Zeit, diese Fragen mit größerer Intensität als bisher zu diskutieren, zumal die große Bedeutung der Absatzplanung für die Führung moderner Unternehmen außer Zweifel steht. Praktische Erfahrungen, die ich auf diesem Gebiete zu gewinnen in der Lage war, haben mir gezeigt, daß es kein Planungsgebiet gibt, das eine solche Fü

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Justice between generations is still not as prominent on any agenda as justice between rich and poor or men and women. For the first time, this three-part book explores the situation of young people of today in comparison to their direct predecessors. The first part, The Financial Situation of the Young Generation in a Generational Comparison, deals with this generation‘s financial standing; the second part, The Rush Hour of Life, examines their time restrictions. Both are considered from a life-course perspective. The third part, On the Path to Gero
