Overview: This book contains work-outs of the notes of three 15-hour courses of lectures which constitute surveys on the concerned topics given at the St. Flour Probability Summer School in July 1992. The first course, by D. Bakry, is concerned with hypercontractivity properties and their use in semi-group theory, namely Sobolev and Log Sobolev inequa- lities, with estimations on the density of the semi-groups. The second one, by R.D. Gill, is about statistics on survi- val analysis; it includes product-integral theory, Kaplan- Meier estimators, and a look at cryptography and generation of ran

Overview: The philosopher of religion and critic of idealism, Ludwig Feuerbach had a far-reaching impact on German radicalism around the time of the Revolution of 1848. This intellectual history explores how Feuerbach s critique of religion served as a rallying point for radicals, and how they paradoxically sought to create a new, post-religious form of religiosity as part of the revolutionary aim. At issue for the Feuerbachian radicals was the emergence of a humanity emancipated from the constraints of mere institutions, able to express itself freely and harmoniously. Caldwell also touches on

Overview: Discusses recent developments in low-carbon energy systems.Includes chapters on key policies.Explains renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energyThis book focuses on recent trends in the areas of green and renewable energy, especially as applied to the carbon footprint of energy production, transmission, and use. Discussing the latest developments and advances in the materials and processes involved in energy generation, transmission, distribution and storage, with a particular focus on the management and policies related to these systems, it is a valuable res

Overview: Zwischen Emotion und ProfessionDie Frage nach der Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen Professionellen und AdressatInnen taucht in der Sozialpädagogik wiederkehrend auf. Dabei geht es sowohl um die Motivation von (professionellen) Helfern als auch um die Motivation von potenziellen AdressatInnen, sich auf Hilfeangebote einzulassen. Das Verhältnis von Nähe und Distanz in professionellen Hilfearrangements wird nicht nur mittels rationaler Kriterien reguliert, sondern ebenfalls durch Emotionen und andere personale Faktoren gestaltet. .Diese Annahme wird in diesem Band entlang sozialpädagogisch

Overview: This book provides a snapshot of the field of language acquisition at the beginning of the 21st Century. It represents the multiplicity of approaches that characterize the field and provides a review of current topics and debates, as well as addressing some of the connections between sub-fields and possible future directions for research.978-0-230-50030-3978-0-230-24078-0Series ISSN 2947-6623 Series E-ISSN 2947-6631

Overview: Develops the H-infinity control theory for time varying systems with initial uncertainty.Extends the H2 theory for time-invariant systems to time-varying systemsThis book gives an introduction to H-infinity and H2 control for linear time-varying systems. Chapter 2 is concerned with continuous-time systems while Chapter 3 is devoted to discrete-time systems..The main aim of this book is to develop the H-infinity and H2 theory for jump systems and to apply it to sampled-data systems. The jump system gives a natural state space representation of sampled-data systems, and original signal

Overview: .From the reviews:. ."..., the book must be of great help for a researcher who already has some idea of Lie theory, wants to employ it in his everyday research and/or teaching, and needs a source for customary reference on the subject. From my viewpoint, the volume is perfectly fit to serve as such a source, ... On the whole, it is quite a pleasure, after making yourself comfortable in that favourite office armchair of yours, just to keep the volume gently in your hands and browse it slowly and thoughtfully; and after all, what more on Earth can one expect of any book?" .The New Zeal

Overview: The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has been established as a powerful numerical tool for the analysis of continua in recent years. The method is based on an attempt to transfer the governing differential equations into integral equations over the boundary. Thus, the discretization scheme or the intro­ duction of any approximations must be done over the boundary. This book presents a BEM for two-dimensional elastic, thermo­ -elastic and body-force contact problems. The formulation is implemented for the general case of contact with various fric­ tional conditions. The analysis is limit

Overview: This series of books, which is published at the rate of about one per year, addresses fundamental problems in materials science. The contents cover a broad range of topics from small clusters of atoms to engineering materials and involve chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, with length scales ranging from Ångstroms up to millimeters. The emphasis is on basic science rather than on applications. Each book focuses on a single area of current interest and brings together leading experts to give an up-to-date discussion of their work and the work of others. Each article
