Overview: Plant parasitic nematodes are a main pest to crops. For ex am pie, the root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne are worldwide in their distribution and attack almost every type of crop, causing considerable losses of yield and affecting quality of produce. The cyst nematodes within the genera Globodera and Heterodera constitute a major group of plant pathogens in many countries throughout the world, suppressing yields of potato, sugar beet, soybean and cereals. Several nematodes such as longidorids and trichodorids are implicated in the transmission of numerous plant vi

Overview: This monograph is a collection of results recently obtained by the authors. Most of these have been published, while others are awaitlng publication. Our investigation has two main purposes. Firstly, we discuss higher order asymptotic efficiency of estimators in regular situa­ tions. In these situations it is known that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is asymptotically efficient in some (not always specified) sense. However, there exists here a whole class of asymptotically efficient estimators which are thus asymptotically equivalent to the MLE. It is required to make finer d

Overview: The extraordinary growth and development of atmospheric sciences during the last dec­ ades, and the concern for certain applied problems, such as those related to the environ­ ment, have prompted the introduction of college and university courses in this field. There is consequently a need for good textbooks. A few appropriate books have appeared in the last few years, aimed at a variety of levels and having different orientations. Most of them are of rather limited scope; in par­ ticular, a number of them are restricted to the field of dynamics and its meteorological applications. T

Overview: Die letzten 50 Jahre sind im Verkehrswesen gekennzeichnet durch das Auf­ kommen neuer und leistungsfähiger Transportmittel. Die Entwicklung des Kraftwagens zu einem wichtigen Verkehrsträger bedeutete für das bis da­ hin auf der Alleinherrschaft von Schienenverkehr und Schiffahrt aufge­ baute Verkehrssystem eine geradezu revolutionierende Umwälzung. Es überrascht deshalb nicht, wenn die vielschichtigen Probleme einer sinn­ vollen Wettbewerbsordnung und Arbeitsteilung gerade zwischen Schiene und Straße zunächst im Vordergrund des Interesses standen und immer noch stehen. Erst in neuere
