Overview: In the Part at hand the authors undertake to give a presentation of the historical development of the theory of imbedding of function spaces, of the internal as well as the externals motives which have stimulated it, and of the current state of art in the field, in particular, what regards the methods employed today. The impossibility to cover all the enormous material connected with these questions inevitably forced on us the necessity to restrict ourselves to a limited circle of ideas which are both fundamental and of principal interest. Of course, such a choice had to some extent

It includes studies that employ various computing techniques like machine learning to generate insights from huge amounts of available data; and which explore decision making for cross-platforms that contain heterogeneous data associated with complex assets; leadership;

Overview: A Theory of Groupwork Practice is based on the results of the search for the fundamental similarities in the practice of all groupworkers in whatever profession or setting they may operate. The theoretical concepts used by groupworkers may be widely variant, but what workers actually do when in interaction with the groups they create or adapt shows remarkable similarities which are deeper and more influential than the concepts in promoting or preventing successful group outcomes. This book presents the foundations of a coherent theory of group work practice based on these similaritie

Overview: This book deals with a hard problem that is inherent to human language: ambiguity. In particular, we focus on author name ambiguity, a type of ambiguity that exists in digital bibliographic repositories, which occurs when an author publishes works under distinct names or distinct authors publish works under similar names. This problem may be caused by a number of reasons, including the lack of standards and common practices, and the decentralized generation of bibliographic content. As a consequence, the quality of the main services of digital bibliographic repositories such as searc

Overview: Provides unique knowledge and insights on how to best make the transition towards more sustainable and livable cities.Offers a practical method on how to better integrate transport and urban developmeIn this book, Dr Cole Hendrigan examines the options for sustainable transport and land-use planning based on building heights, mixes of land-use, transportation mode capacity and others to build the next generation of parks, housing, commercial and retail spaces along high-capacity rail corridors. Following the paradigm of ‘Transit Oriented Development’, Dr Hendrigan provides unique kno

Overview: In 2-farbigem Layout, mit Definitionen, Tabellen und Beispielen.Mit zusätzlicher Lernplattform.Optimale Vorbereitung auf die Logik-Prüfung.Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt eines der wichtigsten Werkzeuge der Philosophie durch die Einführung in die Grundideen einer formalen Sprache. Schrittweise werden so die relevanten Sprachstrukturen aufgedeckt, die dann in der Aussagen- und Prädikatenlogik formalisiert werden. Sowohl die Semantik als auch ein Kalkül des natürlichen Schließens werden jeweils detailliert diskutiert. In Kombination mit einer Lernplattform wird der zentrale Stoff anwendungs

Overview: This book is designed as a unified and mathematically rigorous treatment of some recent developments of the asymptotic distribution theory of order statistics (including the extreme order statistics) that are relevant for statistical theory and its applications. Particular emphasis is placed on results concern­ ing the accuracy oflimit theorems, on higher order approximations, and other approximations in quite a general sense. Contrary to the classical limit theorems that primarily concern the weak convergence of distribution functions, our main results will be formulated in terms of

Overview: The first dedicated volume on formal reasoning techniques applied to medical systems, including personalized medicine.Includes novel contributions on automated reasoning, formal methods, and verificatThis book presents outstanding contributions in an exciting, new and multidisciplinary research area: the application of formal, automated reasoning techniques to analyse complex models in systems biology and systems medicine. Automated reasoning is a field of computer science devoted to the development of algorithms that yield trustworthy answers, providing a basis of sound logical reas

Overview: There can be no doubt that alkaline phosphatase is one of the most extensively in­ vestigated of all enzymes. This has resulted from the ubiquity of its distribution, and from the ease and sensitivity with which its activity can be measured. Unfortunately, these wide-ranging but often superficial experimental studies have been followed up by intensive and systematic investigations in only a few limited areas of the biochemistry and chemical pathology of alkaline phosphatase. The result has been the accumulation of a scientific literature of intimidating proportions, and the inevitabl

Overview: First book to provide a rigorous study of fractals usable by undergraduates.Written by a renowned authority in the field and expert at communicating mathematical ideas to students.An excellent means f.Since Benoit Mandelbrot‘s pioneering work in the late 1970s, scores of research articles and books have been published on the topic of fractals. Despite the volume of literature in the field, the general level of theoretical understanding has remained low; most work is aimed either at too mainstream an audience to achieve any depth or at too specialized a community to achieve widespread

Overview: Winner of the 2022 European Society for Historical Demography Tamara Harevan Award.Explores the reasons why abortion came to play a central role in Greece’s fertility decline.Brings together popular cThe book examines the history of abortion and contraception in Modern Greece from the time of its creation in the 1830s to 1967, soon after the Pill became available. It situates the history of abortion and contraception within the historiography of the fertility decline and the question of whether the decline was due to adjustment to changing social conditions or innovation of contracep

Overview: First graduate textbook on the algorithmic aspects of real algebraic geometry.Includes supplementary material: .The algorithmic problems of real algebraic geometry such as real root counting, deciding the existence of solutions of systems of polynomial equations and inequalities, or deciding whether two points belong in the same connected component of a semi-algebraic set occur in many contexts. In this first-ever graduate textbook on the algorithmic aspects of real algebraic geometry, the main ideas and techniques presented form a coherent and rich body of knowledge, linked to many

Overview: Presents original research and valuable overview on topics such as Cremona groups, birational rigidity, dynamics of automorphisms, and algebraic group actions.Features articles by leading specialists .The main focus of this volume is on the problem of describing the automorphism groups of affine and projective varieties, a classical subject in algebraic geometry where, in both cases, the automorphism group is often infinite dimensional. The collection covers a wide range of topics and is intended for researchers in the fields of classical algebraic geometry and birational geometry (C

Overview: Robert Karplus, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, became a leader in the movement to reform elementary school science in the 1960s. This book selects the enduring aspects of his work and presents them for the scientists and science educators of today. In an era when `science education for ALL students‘ has become the clarion call, the insights and works of Robert Karplus are as relevant now as they were in the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. This book tries to capture the essence of his life and work and presents selections of his published articles in a h

Overview: Honolulu is a most beautiful place, suitable for all occa­ sions. Its choice as the meeting site for the first Joint Chemical Congress between the American Chemical Society and the Chemical Society of Japan was praised by scientists from both sides. During this Congress, the International Conference on Adhesion and Adsorption of Polymers was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel between April 2 and 5, 1979. We had speakers from ten nations presenting over forty papers related to the subject matter. It was a memorable event. Unlike our two previous adhesion symposia held in 1971 and 1975, t
