Overview: With contributions from Michael Atiyah, Roger Penrose, Edward Witten, Misha Gromov, Alain Connes, Lee Smolin, John Stachel and many others.Accessible to a broad audience with a background in mathematiThis book explores the rich and deep interplay between mathematics and physics one century after David Hilbert’s works from 1891 to 1933, published by Springer in six volumes. The most prominent scientists in various domains of these disciplines contribute to this volume providing insight to their works, and analyzing the impact of the breakthrough and the perspectives of their own contr

Overview: This book is a study of group theoretical properties of two dis­ parate kinds, firstly finiteness conditions or generalizations of fini­ teness and secondly generalizations of solubility or nilpotence. It will be particularly interesting to discuss groups which possess properties of both types. The origins of the subject may be traced back to the nineteen twenties and thirties and are associated with the names of R. Baer, S. N. Cernikov, K. A. Hirsch, A. G. Kuros, 0.]. Schmidt and H. Wie­ landt. Since this early period, the body of theory has expanded at an increasingly rapid rate th

Overview: As in so many fields of scientific endeavour following the molecular biology revo­ lution, our knowledge of the role of radicals not only in pathological states, but in basic physiology has developed exponentially. Indeed, our evolving concepts have, like so many political parties, been forced into dramatic "V-turns" and contortions. Within our working lives, we have had to debate whether radicals made any con­ tribution to any pathology, whilst now it is difficult not to entertain the view that every physiological process is pivotally controlled by exquisitely sensitive radical reac

Overview: This book, Amplifiers: Analysis and Design, is the second of four books of a larger work, Fundamentals of Electronics. It is comprised of four chapters that describe the fundamentals of amplifier performance. Beginning with a review of two-port analysis, the first chapter introduces the modeling of the response of transistors to AC signals. Basic one-transistor amplifiers are extensively discussed. The next chapter expands the discussion to multiple transistor amplifiers. The coverage of simple amplifiers is concluded with a chapter that examines power amplifiers. This discussion def

Overview: Provides an innovative account of how Polish cinema is responding to new histories of the Holocaust, as Polish perpetration, bystanding and witnessing in rural and provincial spaces is being reconceiv.This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary Polish cinema’s engagement with histories of Polish violence against their Jewish neighbours during the Holocaust. Moving beyond conventional studies of historical representation on screen, the book considers how cinema reframes the unwanted knowledge of violence in its aftermaths. The book draws on Derridean hauntology, Didi-Huberma

Overview: Overviews the fundamentals of reversible pump turbines (RPTs).Presents advanced signal analysis and processing methods.Written by authors who are experts in the fieldThis brief provides a comprehensive introduction on the flow-induced instabilities (e.g., the pressure fluctuations and the vibrations) of the reversible pump turbines (RPTs) in the pumped hydro energy storage power stations (PHSEPSs) in China based on long-term field tests. The pressure fluctuations and the vibrations of several RPTs in China under different operational conditions are analysed in detail to reveal their

Overview: Umfassende Studie zu Gewaltdarstellungen im FernsehenDer Band befaßt sich mit der Zuwendungsattraktivität und Wirkung von Gewaltdarstellungen im Fernsehen. An der mehrteiligen Untersuchungsreihe nahmen über 1.200 Probanden ab 11 Jahren teil. Mit Hilfe physiologischer Meßmethoden (Herzfrequenz und Hautleitfähigkeit) sowie umfangreicher psychosozialer Tests, u. a. zu Angst, Aggression, Empathie, Kontrollerwartung und Toleranz, wurden einerseits Motivhintergründe und andererseits körperliche und psychosoziale Effekte der Fernsehgewalt-Rezeption bei Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen empirisch

Overview: Application-oriented and understandable introduction to common Differential Equations.Renounces abstract evidence as far as possible.Contains a new chapter about Climate Change and Epidemiology, inclu.The second edition of this successful textbook includes a significantly extended chapter on Climate Change with an analysis of the CO2 budget. It also contains a completely new part on Epidemiology, treating the SEIR-model which describes the behavior and dynamics of epidemics. In particular, COVID-19 with actual data is discussed. This compact introduction to ordinary differential equa

Overview: Um erfolgreich zu sein, müssen Unternehmen heute immer mehr Dynamik, Komplexität und Turbulenz bewältigen. Das Management sozialer »Systeme« ist damit konfrontiert, dass jene permanent in Bewegung sind, entstehen und vergehen, wachsen und schrumpfen und dabei Perioden der Stabilisierung und des Wandels durchlaufen (müssen). In all diesen Situationen das notwendige Problemlösungspotenzial aktivieren zu können, heißt handlungsfähig und »fit« für die Zukunft sein..Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über neuere theoretische Beschreibungen der Unternehmung aus Systemtheorie, Kybernetik und Cha

Overview: .This volume uses the study of firm dynamics to investigate the factors preventing faster productivity growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, pushing past the limits of traditional macroeconomic analyses. Each chapter is dedicated to an examination of a different factor affecting firm productivity - innovation, ICT usage, on-the-job-training, firm age, access to credit, and international linkages - highlighting the differences in firm characteristics, behaviors, and strategies. By showcasing this remarkable heterogeneity, this collection challenges regional policymakers to look b

Overview: Provides a timely critical analysis of major approaches to international relations and assesses their utility to understand recent developments such as the impact of the Trump presidency and Brexit.Ex.Russia’s intervention in the Ukraine, Donald Trump’s presidency and instability in the Middle East are just a few of the factors that have brought an end to the immediate post-Cold War belief that a new international order was emerging: one where fear and uncertainty gave way to a thick normative and institutional architecture that diminished the importance of material power. This has r
