Overview: Algebraic geometry has always been an ec1ectic science, with its roots in algebra, function-theory and topology. Apart from early resear­ ches, now about a century old, this beautiful branch of mathematics has for many years been investigated chiefly by the Italian school which, by its pioneer work, based on algebro-geometric methods, has succeeded in building up an imposing body of knowledge. Quite apart from its intrinsic interest, this possesses high heuristic value since it represents an essential step towards the modern achievements. A certain lack of rigour in the c1assical met

Overview: First comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date publication on Axiomatic Fuzzy Set theory.Covers detailed mathematical proofs and algorithmsIt is well known that “fuzziness”—informationgranulesand fuzzy sets as one of its formal manifestations— is one of important characteristics of human cognitionandcomprehensionofreality. Fuzzy phenomena existinnature and are encountered quite vividly within human society. The notion of a fuzzy set has been introduced by L. A. , Zadeh in 1965 in order to formalize human concepts, in connection with the representation of human natural language and

Overview: High resolution in vivo images usually only used by researchersThe recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic re- nance (MR), have greatly improved our knowledge of brain anatomy and related brain function. Morphological and functional investigations of the brain using high-definition MR have made detailed study of the brain possible and provided new data on anatomo-functional correlations. These studies have fuelled the interest in central nervous system imaging by clinicians (n- roradiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, neurophysiologists, and psych- trist

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of the eleventh BritishNational Conference on Databases, held at Keele University,England. A dominant themein the volume is the provision ofthe means to enhance the capabilities ofdatabases to handleinformation that has a rich semantic structure. A majorresearch question is how to achieve such a semantic scale-upwithout sacrificing performance. There are currently twomainparadigms within which it is possible to proposeanswers to this question,deduction-oriented andobject-oriented. Both paradigms are well represented in thiscollection, with the bal

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciences.Includes supplementary material: Christian Hugo Hoffmann undermines the citadel of risk assessment and management, arguing that classical probability theory is not an adequate foundation for modeling systemic and extreme risk in complex financial systems. He proposes a new class of models which focus on the knowledge dimension by precisely describing market participants’ own positions and their propensity to react to outside changes. The author closes his thesis by a synthetical reflection on methods and elaborates on the meaning of decis

Overview: Fast-track-conference proceedingsIt was our intention to organize IAIT 2010 as the place where researchers and ind- trial practitioners could share their work and achievements in information technology, both theoretical and in application. This is the fourth time we have organized IAIT to serve as a venue to foster collaboration among industry and academia from different parts of the world. A lot has been achieved since the launch of the first IAIT in 2005; however, many challenges remain to be addressed in the years to come. IAIT 2010 drew attendance from leading professionals in bo
