Overview: "Es ging einfach nur um den Artikel 1 unserer Verfassung . . . ". Dahinter steckt gen au genommen die - in Anlehnung an die Mitte der sechziger Jahre von Ralf Dahrendorf formulierte - "soziale Frage an uns selbst": Wie viele Freunde hat das Prinzip der liberalen Demokratie in Deutschland gefunden (Dahrendorf, Gesellschaft und Demokratie, 26, 480)? Und dem Umgang mit der "Würde des Menschen als höchstem Rechtswert" (Sirnon, 57) und mit den sich an ihr orientierenden elementaren Freiheitsrechten des Grundgeset­ zes kommt bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage zentrale Bedeutung zu. * Nicht

Overview: The articles published in this volume are based on the papers del ivered at a conference on the Role of Metal Ions in Biological Systems held November 20 and 21, 1972, at Argonne National Laboratory. The purpose of the conference was to present to an interdiscipl inary audience of physical scientists some recent developments illustrating the chemical and environ­ mental participation of the heavy metal ions in the biological system. The invited speakers at the conference are special ists in the fields they describe, and the articles presented here are at a level of interest to reader

Overview: .Mind Out of Matter. aims to transform the way we thinkabout consciousness and the physical world. Unlike many contemporaryvolumes, it develops a robust and philosophically satisfying accountof the mind/body relationship without doing violence to fundamentalphysics. It expunges popular but ludicrous assumptions about the `inprinciple‘ capabilities of cognizers and, with the help of toolsfrommathematics and scientific fields, supplants flawed notions ofrepresentation, function, and mental state with objective andphysically grounded alternatives. It debunks quantum theories ofconscious

Overview: Presents a detailed analysis of the physics, chemistry and thermodynamic basis (and of the corresponding mathematical representations) of all phenomena and processes of flow and transport of mass and This book presents and discusses the construction of mathematical models that describe phenomena of flow and transport in porous media as encountered in civil and environmental engineering, petroleum and agricultural engineering, as well as chemical and geothermal engineering. The phenomena of transport of extensive quantities, like mass of fluid phases, mass of chemical species dissolve

Overview: With Marx and Nature , Paul Burkett reconstructs Marx‘s approach to nature, society, and environmental crisis. While recognizing that production is structured by historically developed relations among producers, Marx also insists that production as a social and material process is shaped and constrained by natural conditions, including the natural condition of human bodily existence. Marx‘s value analysis places him squarely in the camp of the growing number of ecological theorists questioning the ability of monetary and market-based calculations to adequately represent the natural c

Overview: Introduces mmWave/Sub-terahertz ultra-massive MIMO wireless communications from basic components.Studies physical-layer algorithm design in wireless communication system aided by extremely large-scaleThe book focuses on the advanced mmWave/Sub-terahertz ultra-massive MIMO wireless communications, which are regarded as a promising paradigm shift in future 5G beyond and even 6G. This is achieved by providing a comprehensive review of the rapidly developing field of massive MIMO communication, in-depth discussions on the impact of extremely large-scale antenna array, and detailed numeri

Overview: Presents generalities about multiple impacts incl. definition, discrepancy with respect to single impacts, various classes of models for impacts, etc.Emphasis on granular chains of aligned balls, whic.The extension of collision models for single impacts between two bodies, to the case of multiple impacts (which take place when several collisions occur at the same time in a multibody system) is a challenge in Solid Mechanics, due to the complexity of such phenomena, even in the frictionless case. This monograph aims at presenting the main multiple collision rules proposed in the liter

Overview: Introduces the approach of Machine Learning (ML) based predictive models in the design of composite materials.Presents a design methodology of advanced composite materials based on different applicati.This book introduces the approach of Machine Learning (ML) based predictive models in the design of composite materials to achieve the required properties for certain applications. ML can learn from existing experimental data obtained from very limited number of experiments and subsequently can be trained to find solutions of the complex non-linear, multi-dimensional functional relation

Overview: The theory of functional relationships concerns itself with inference from models with a more complex error structure than those existing in regression models. We are familiar with the bivariate linear relationship having measurement errors in both variables and the fact that the standard regression estimator of the slope underestimates the true slope. One complication with inference about parameters in functional relationships, is that many of the standard properties of likelihood theory do not apply, at least not in the form in which they apply to e.g. regression models. This is pr

Overview: There has been incredible progress over the last decade in therapeutic endoscopy. Such therapies are either easier now than ten years ago or are possible when previously they were inconceivable. These advances have depended upon major improvements in diagnostic endoscopy for different subspecialties. Simultaneously, a major innovation for therapeutics through endoscopes is the application of medical lasers. This book is written by renowned biophysicists and laser endoscopists of different sub specialties where the application of lasers has revolutionized medical care. In some cases t
