Overview: .In the recent past, environmental innovations have led to a considerable reduction of many pollutants; however, further innovation is required to tackle remaining pollution sources. This work analyses the significance and the effects of framework conditions on innovation activities that contribute to the realisation of a sustainable development. The book links the experiences of different research projects with the aim to develop a system of indicators to evaluate sustainable effects of (environmental) innovations. A comprehensive framework for an indicator system is established tha

Overview: Iterative Learning Control (ILC) differs from most existing control methods in the sense that, it exploits every possibility to incorporate past control informa­ tion, such as tracking errors and control input signals, into the construction of the present control action. There are two phases in Iterative Learning Control: first the long term memory components are used to store past control infor­ mation, then the stored control information is fused in a certain manner so as to ensure that the system meets control specifications such as convergence, robustness, etc. It is worth pointi

Overview: The first book on Irreversible Electroporation.Includes fundamental physical basics and an outlook on clinical applications.Written by the leading researchers.Opens new ways in cancer therapyNon-thermal irreversible electroporation is a new minimally invasive surgical p- cedure with unique molecular selectivity attributes – in fact it may be considered the first clinical molecular surgery procedure. Non-thermal irreversible electro- ration is a molecular selective mode of cell ablation that employs brief electrical fields to produce nanoscale defects in the cell membrane, which can l

Overview: Zivilgerichte haben die Aufgabe, Vertragstreue durchzusetzen. Es ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, dass Zivilgerichte die Einhaltung von Verträgen sichern, denn richterliche Fehler und hohe Prozesskosten können effektiven Rechtsschutz verhindern. Roland Kirstein analysiert mit Hilfe eines spieltheoretischen Modells, unter welchen Bedingungen ein Zivilgerichtssystem zu Vertragstreue motivieren kann. Insbesondere müssen Gerichte bereits im Vorfeld einer Klage positive Unterscheidungsfähigkeit besitzen, um Parteien zur Einhaltung von Vereinbarungen zu bringen und von opportunistische
