Overview: This book is a revised and updated version, including a substantial portion of new material, of our text Perturbation Methods in Applied Mathematics (Springer­ Verlag, 1981). We present the material at a level that assumes some familiarity with the basics of ordinary and partial differential equations. Some of the more advanced ideas are reviewed as needed; therefore this book can serve as a text in either an advanced undergraduate course or a graduate-level course on the subject. Perturbation methods, first used by astronomers to predict the effects of small disturbances on the nomi

Overview: This collection of papers reflects the variety ofinterpretations and definitions connected with the concept of`mercantilism‘ which have evolved historically during the last twocenturies. They range from interpretations of `mercantilistic‘ ideasto interpretations of policies. They stress the relationship betweeneconomic, social and political ideas and range from the 17th to thelate 20th century. Lastly, they provide us with more knowledge ofspecific national cases as well as a discussion of mercantilism as ageneral phenomenon..978-94-010-4618-3978-94-011-1408-0Series ISSN 0924-199X

Overview: Zu den Hilfsmitteln, die die Lösung häufig vorkommender Aufgaben der Praxis erleichtern sollen, gehören seit langem Tabellen zur vereinfachten Berechnung von Durchlaufträgern. Der Anwendungsbereich der bekannten Tabellenbücher ist verhältnismäßig eng begrenzt: aus der unendlichen Zahl möglicher Stützweitenverhältnisse wurden bestimmte Trägerfälle ausgewählt und die Stützen-und Feldmomente für verschiedene Belastungen berechnet. Die Zusammenfassung der Momenten beiträge der einzelnen Felder zu je einem Tabellenwert für jedes Moment macht die Anwendung solcher Tafeln zwar sehr bequem,

Overview: The chapters of this book are based upon lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Membrane Processes in Separation and Purification (March 21 - April 2, 1993, Curia, Portugal), organized as a successor and update to a similar Institute that took place 10 years ago (p.M.Bungay, H.K. Lonsdale, M.N. de Pinho (Eds.): Synthetic Membranes: Science, Engineering and Applications, NATO ASI Series, Reidel, Dordrecht, 1986). The decade between the two NATO Institutes witnesses the transition from individually researched membrane processes to an applied and established membrane

Overview: Das vorliegende Buch besteht aus zwei Teilen. Teil I enthält einen axiomatischen Aufbau der euklidischen Geometrie auf Grund eines Axiomensystems von Tarski, das in einem gewissen Sinne (auch für die absolute Geometrie) gleichwertig ist mit dem Hilbertschen Axiomensystem, aber formalisiert ist in einer Sprache, die für die Betrachtungen in Teil II besonders geeignet ist. Mehrere solche Axio­ mensysteme wurden schon vor langer Zeit von Tarski veröffentlicht. Hier wird nun die Durchführung eines Aufbaus der Geometrie auf Grund eines solchen Axiomensystems - unter Benutzung von Resultat

Overview: The manifolds investigated in this monograph are generalizations of (XX)-rank one locally symmetric spaces. In the first part of the book the author develops spectral theory for the differential Laplacian operator associated to the so-called generalized Dirac operators on manifolds with cusps of rank one. This includes the case of spinor Laplacians on (XX)-rank one locally symmetric spaces. The time-dependent approach to scattering theory is taken to derive the main results about the spectral resolution of these operators. The second part of the book deals with the derivation of an i

Overview: Detailed description of new concepts relating to corporate growth including the parallel strategy of growth and restructuring.Findings of numerous studies and surveys carried out by Roland Berger Stra.Growth is the key goal of management. It‘s not just an indicator of a company‘s performance, but also the basis for its future success. But growth doesn‘t just mean getting bigger – it also means getting better. In other words, growth must be profitable, otherwise it destroys the company‘s value long term. And this is not the only challenge. Growth must also be made continuous. The trad

Overview: Mozambique: A War against the People examines the nature of the war that has been waged by the Renamo rebels in Mozambique since 1976, and the profound effects that it has had on, in particular, the country‘s human infrastructure. The toll of the war has been manifested most dramatically in the geographical dislocation of a large section of the population. Along with the Frelimo government‘s policy failures this has served to limit socialist development in the past. It now threatens potential for development along the capitalist and democratic road.978-1-349-22318-3978-1-349-22316-9
