Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Gravitational Wave International Committee.Won the 2014 Stefano Braccini Thesis Prize awarded by the Gravitational Wave International Committee.Selected.This thesis covers a diverse set of topics related to space-based gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The core of the thesis is devoted to the preprocessing of the interferometric link data for a LISA constellation, specifically developing optimal Kalman filters to reduce arm length noise due to clock noise. The approach is to apply Kalman

Overview: The development of the modern theory of metals and alloys has coincided with great advances in quantum-mechanical many-body theory, in electronic structure calculations, in theories of lattice dynamics and of the configura­ tional thermodynamics of crystals, in liquid-state theory, and in the theory of phase transformations. For a long time all these different fields expanded quite independently, but now their overlap has become sufficiently large that they are beginning to form the basis of a comprehensive first-principles the­ ory of the cohesive, structural, and thermodynamical pr

Bosu, who replaces Dr. Atuahene of blessed memory (may his soul rest in perfect peace). In the preface

Overview: Seit der Steinzeit ist die Geschichte des Menschen von der Suche nach geeigneten Werkstoffen für seine Werkzeuge und Gebrauchsgegenstände begleitet. Metallwerkstoffe haben dank ihrer Eigenschaften hervorragende Bedeutung. Das Buch beschreibt ihren Entwicklungsweg bis zu dem von den Römern hochgeschätzten Ferrum noricum, die Bedeutung der Stadt auf dem Magdalensberg in Kärnten als deren Umschlagplatz und bringt schwerpunktmäßig den durch Versuche und Funde belegten Nachweis über den Herstellungsgang dieses härtbaren kohlenstoffhaltigen Stahles. Die mit den detailliert beschriebenen th

Overview: Revised and expanded edition of a wellknown text Practical, jargonfree and alive with illustrations Articulate and wellregarded author whose writing is rich with clinical experienceThe new edition of this well-known text addresses the plurality of family life today, and considers the way in which the changeable ‘theory of family‘ has influenced the approaches of those working with families. The emphasis in this second edition is on working in a context of cultural diversity and in which life transitions such as marriage, divorce and bereavement, affect the lives of all families, be t

Overview: It was a great pleasure for us to welcome so many experts from all over the world to our symposium in Aachen. We are also pleased - and you can attribute this to my own vanity - with the success and acceptance of the concept of myocardial reperfusion and revascularization - specifically selective intracoronary lysis followed either by PTCA or bypass surgery - which we have been pursuing since 1979. But after the dramatic immediate effects of the first attempts, which you have to experience yourself, we did not expect it to be any different. We decided against performing a randomized

Overview: Our ontology as well as our grammar are, as Quine affirms, ineliminable parts of our conceptual contribution to our theory of the world. It seems impossible to think of enti­ ties, individuals and events without specifying and constructing, in advance, a specific language that must be used in order to speak about these same entities. We really know only insofar as we regiment our system of the world in a consistent and adequate way. At the level of proper nouns and existence functions we have, for instance, a standard form of a regimented language whose complementary apparatus consis

Overview: Deconstructs the traditional dichotomies between Chinese and Western cultural productions.Offers two-way dialogue between Chinese and Western literature, art, and poetics.Reconceptualizes the linguist.This book begins with a reflection on dichotomies in comparative studies of Chinese and Western literature and aesthetics. Critiquing an oppositional paradigm, Ming Dong Gu argues that despite linguistic and cultural differences, the two traditions share much common ground in critical theory, aesthetic thought, metaphysical conception, and reasoning. Focusing on issues of language, writ
