Overview: The notion of group is fundamental in our days, not only in mathematics, but also in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, theory of elementary particles, etc. This notion has developed during a century and this development is connected with the names of great mathematicians as E. Galois, A. L. Cauchy, C. F. Gauss, W. R. Hamilton, C. Jordan, S. Lie, E. Cartan, H. Weyl, E. Wigner, and of many others. In mathematics, as in other sciences, the simple and fertile ideas make their way with difficulty and slowly; however, this long history would ha

Overview: Draws on feminist science and technology studies (STS) for the pragmatic and theoretical friction to investigate spherology.Provides way-finding techniques for academics and students to engage with spThis book questions if spherology is a philosophy for designers, giving guidance on ways to read .Spheres., how to approach the trilogy’s indexicality, and apply the key tropes and ethics of atmospheres to digital design.

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-51955-0978-3-642-52017-4

Overview: Focuses on empirical criminological and sociological research.Explores the context of art crime from empirical research conducted in a diverse set of research sites.Provides a medium for academic, pol.This book brings together empirical and theoretical case-study research on art and heritage crime. Drawn from a diverse group of researchers and professionals, the work presented explores contemporary conceptualisations of art crime within broader contexts. In this volume, we see ‘art’ in its usual forms for art crime scholarship: in paintings and antiquities. However, we also see art i

Overview: First complete biography of Ennio De Giorgi, who parallels John Nash in mathematical genius.Encompasses his evolution as a mathematician and his relations with his peers, as well as his profound religThis biography illuminates the life of Ennio De Giorgi, a mathematical genius in parallel with John Nash, the Nobel Prize Winner and protagonist of A Beautiful Mind. Beginning with his childhood and early years of research, into his solution of the 19th problem of Hilbert and his professorship, this book pushes beyond De Giorgi’s rich contributions to the mathematics community, to presen

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Applied Machine Learning and Data Analytics, AMLDA 2023, held in Lübeck, Germany, during November 9–10, 2023..The 17 full papers and 2 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. The main conference AMLDA 2023 is renowned for presenting cutting-edge research on all aspects of machine learning as well as important application areas such as healthcare and medical imaging informatics, biometrics, forensics, precision agriculture, risk managem

Overview: Interest in acoustics continues to increase. Although this branch of science was concerned primarily with the promotion of qualitative and quantitative sound transmission until a few decades ago, emphasis is currently placed also on the limitation of sound nuisance and, by extension, the setting of boundaries for permissible sound levels in places vhere people are found. This last aspect in particular is exercising more and more influence on the design of buildings and machines, and in town and country planning. In addition, sound vibrations, because of their physical characteristics

Overview: Tool analyses participants‘ orientation to linguistic identities in chat.Author introduces data-driven computational models for communicative Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (communica.The research described in this book shows that conversation analysis can effectively model dialogue. Specifically, this work shows that the multidisciplinary field of communicative ICALL may greatly benefit from including Conversation Analysis. As a consequence, this research makes several contributions to the related research disciplines, such as conversation analysis, second-language

Overview: Provides a concise introduction to the core concepts of azo polymers.Surveys this very important type of functional polymer from their molecular structures, syntheses, functions to possible applicatio.This book explores functional polymers containing aromatic azo chromophores in side-chain, main-chain and other parts of their structures, known as azo polymers and which share common photoresponsive properties. It focuses on the molecular architecture of azo polymers, the synthetic methods and their most important functions, such as photoinduced birefringence and dichroism, surface-rel

Overview: In this book, experts in atmospheric sciences, human health, economics, social and political sciences contribute to an integrated assessment of the complex elements needed to structure air quality policy in the 21st century. The analysis is developed through a case study of the Mexico City Metropolitan Area - one of the world‘s largest megacities in which air pollution grew unchecked for decades. The international research team is led by Luisa T. and Mario J. Molina, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Improvements in Mexico City‘s air quality in the last decade testifies to the power of de

Overview: The first book to enable identification of the entire European caddisfly fauna since Mc..Lachlan’s Revision and Synopsis of 1874-1880.Caddis flies are important indicators of environmental quality in aquatic biotopes. This Atlas is the first book which enables the identification of the entire European caddis fly fauna since McLachlan’s Revision and Synopsis of 1874-1880. ...Identification of European caddis flies has proved difficult as a result of the widely scattered literature, and has therefore been a matter for specialists for more than hundred years....This Second Edition of Th

Overview: I have been involved in constructing a unified theory for many years, in considering the state of psychology‘s unity-disunity, and in generally attempt­ ing to persuade our profession to work on its unification. In this work I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with the works of a number of other psychologists whose statements indicated that they had something to say on these topics. I saw also that it would be very productive for psychology to have these individuals address themselves to psychology‘s disunity-unity, consid­ ered as a problem that should be confronted and

Overview: Der Autor führt in einer sehr lebendigen Art in die Probleme und Grundlagen der Astronomischen Navigation ein, so daß es schwer fällt, das einmal angefangene Buch wieder aus der Hand zu legen. Anhand von Aufgaben (und der im Anhang angegebenen entsprechenden Lösungen) ist der Leser jederzeit in der Lage, selbst zu kontrollieren, inwieweit er den abgehandelten Stoff in sich aufgenommen hat.

Overview: There is no shortage of general books on the subject of acid rain, or of symposium proceedings reviewing work ranging from atmospheric chemistry and deposition processes to freshwater acidification and effects on vegetation. In contrast, the collection of papers from this Workshop is focussed on a much smaller subject, the processes of acid deposition at high altitude sites. Interest in deposition at high elevation sites comes largely from observed vertical gradients in the degree of forest damage at sites in the Federal Republic of Germany and the eastern United States. These gradie
