Overview: This is a prize winning thesis, nominated for Springer Theses by the University of Tokyo.Provides a detailed description of a new method to overcome difficulties in using offshore seismic data.Resolve.This thesis explores fluid distribution along the Nankai-Trough megathrust fault around the Kii Peninsula of Japan, where devastating earthquakes are expected to occur in the near future. Exploring fluid distribution along subduction zones is an important issue because the fluid is considered to control the occurrence of earthquakes. One of the effective strategies to estimate fluid con

Overview: The book examines, compares, and contrasts the African American and Oromo movements by locating them in the global context, and by showing how life chances changed for the two peoples and their descendants as the modern world system became more complex and developed. Since the same global system that created racialized and exploitative structures in African American and Oromo societies also facilitated the struggles of these two peoples, this book demonstrates the dynamic interplay between social structures and human agencies in the system. African Americans in the United States of A

Overview: For some centuries now the western world has endeavored to choose between rationalism and empiricism; or, when a choice was found impossible, somehow to reconcile them. But the particular brands of both which were taken for granted in confronting the problem were sUbjective: individual human reasoning stood for rationalism and private sense experience for empiricism. Since Plato it has been known that reasoning and feeling are often in conflict. No wonder that a standard for deciding between them or for harmonizing the two was found difficult to come by. Fortunately, due to the reviv

Overview: Allows the student to become familiar with advanced control methods from a practical standpoint.Combines rigorous mathematical analysis with industrial example.Instructional value enhanced by the use .This book develops the understanding and skills needed to be able to tackle original control problems. The general approach to a given control problem is to try the simplest tentative solution first and, when this is insufficient, to explain why and use a more sophisticated alternative to remedy the deficiency and achieve satisfactory performance. This pattern of working gives readers a

Overview: This work is motivated by the research gap evident in the area of forecasting models for the German office market. Since rent, price or yield forecasting research is mainly done by commercially oriented organizations, this work delivers an examination from a scientific point of view. Thus the focus is set on an empirical investigation of several rent and total yield forecasting models for nine major German cities. Their applicability and performance are analyzed and city as well as forecasting horiz- specific patterns are determined and interpreted. After the literature review, mainl

Overview: This book presents the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Frontiers of Polymers and Advanced Materials held in Jakarta, Indonesia during January 10-15, 1993. This conference was organized and sponsored by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), and the Indonesian Polymer Association. The 244 participants represented a total of 24 countries and a wide variety of academic, industrial and government groups. The inauguration was held in the Royal Pal

Overview: While many worry about population overload, this book highlights the dramatic fall in fertility rates globally exploring questions such as why are parents having fewer babies? Will this lead to population decline? What will be the impact of a world with fewer children and can social policy reverse fertility decline?978-1-349-44041-2978-1-137-03039-9Series ISSN 2731-6440 Series E-ISSN 2731-6459

Overview: It has become clear in recent years from such major forums as the various international conferences on flexible manufacruring systems (FMSs) that the computer-controlled and -integrated "factory of the furure" is now being considered as a commercially viable and technically achievable goal. To date, most attention has been given to the design, development, and evalu­ ation of flexible machining systems. Now, with the essential support of increasing numbers of industrial examples, the general concepts, technical requirements, and cost-effectiveness of responsive, computer-integrated,

Overview: In diesem Buch werden Fehlertoleranztechniken in rekonfigurierbaren verteilten Systemen zur Prozeßautomatisierung in einer geschlossenen Form dargestellt. Neben grundlegenden Fragen zu verteilten Systemen und Prozeßrechensystemen, wodurch die Randbedingungen implizit festgelegt sind, werden die in der englischen Fachliteratur oft widersprüchlichen Begriffe aus dem Gebiet der Fehlertoleranztechnik systematisch geordnet und erläutert und ein konsistentes deutsches Basisbegriffsgebäude vorgestellt. Wissenschaftlich besonders reizvoll ist der Versuch, aus der Analyse biologischer Systeme

Overview: Allgemeines Der "Familienatlas" ist ein Teilergebnis eines Projekts zur Beschreibung des Wan­ dels und der Entwicklung familialer Lebensformen am Deutschen Jugendinstitut (DJI). Dieses Projekt ist wiederum ein Teil der Bemühungen des zuständigen Bundesministeriums, ausreichende Informationen zur Situation von Familien in Deutschland zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Grundidee ist, einerseits eine Aufberei­ tung von regionalen Daten aus der amtlichen Statistik vorzunehmen und anderer­ seits eventuelle Lücken in der amtlichen Statistik durch Zusatzerhebungen und -analysen zu schließen.
