Overview: Can we understand, and try to balance, the needs and welfare of marine mammals with human use of the marine and coastal environment?.Hunting marine mammals – profit, versus protection, versus profligaMarine mammals attract human interest – sometimes this interest is benign or positive – whale watching, conservation programmes for whales, seals, otters, and efforts to clear beaches of marine debris are seen as proactive steps to support these animals. However, there are many forces operating to affect adversely the lives of whales, seals, manatees, otters and polar bears – and this bo

Overview: Uses mathematical arguments to explain the main reasons behind the current crisis in cosmology.Discusses the inapplicability of Einstein‘s equations to the N-body problem.Provides a comprehensive revi.This book provides a mathematical and numerical analysis of many problems which lead to paradoxes in contemporary cosmology, in particular, the existence of dark matter and dark energy. It is shown that these hypothetical quantities arise from excessive extrapolations of simple mathematical models to the whole physical universe. Written in a completely different style to most books on G

Overview: Best Practice: Entwicklung von Geschäftssystemen auf der Basis tragfähiger ITImmer wieder trat in den vergangenen Jahren bei meiner Tätig­ keit als IT-Architekt und IT-Projektleiter die große Diskrepanz zwischen der Forderung nach einer strategisch ausgerichteten, flexiblen IT-Architektur und der Projektpraxis zu Tage. Die scheinbar unüberwindbare Kluft zwischen der Unternehmens­ und der Projektsicht führte bei beteiligten IT-Projektleitern, IT­ Managern und IT-Architekten allzu häufig zu Konflikten und Er­ nüchterung. Ansätze und Modelle zur Überwindung dieser Diskrepanz blie­ ben M

Overview: Accurate parameter determination supported by rigorous existence, regularity, uniqueness, and stability results.Three innovative mathematical modelling approaches to complex ice state (sea ice) and co.This book presents important recent applied mathematics research on environmental problems and impacts due to climate change. Although there are inherent difficulties in addressing phenomena that are part of such a complex system, exploration of the subject using mathematical modelling is especially suited to tackling poorly understood issues in the field. It is in this spirit that the

Overview: Model Predictive Control is an important technique used in the process control industries. It has developed considerably in the last few years, because it is the most general way of posing the process control problem in the time domain. The Model Predictive Control formulation integrates optimal control, stochastic control, control of processes with dead time, multivariable control and future references. The finite control horizon makes it possible to handle constraints and non linear processes in general which are frequently found in industry. Focusing on implementation issues for M
