Overview: Places the differential and integral calculus of several variables in its natural geometric environment.Presents interesting non-trivial applications of the differential calculus.Shows how the differe.Multivariate calculus can be understood best by combining geometric insight, intuitive arguments, detailed explanations and mathematical reasoning. This textbook not only follows this programme, but additionally provides a solid description of the basic concepts, via familiar examples, which are then tested in technically demanding situations. .In this new edition the introductory chapt

Overview: A good part of matrix theory is functional analytic in spirit. This statement can be turned around. There are many problems in operator theory, where most of the complexities and subtleties are present in the finite-dimensional case. My purpose in writing this book is to present a systematic treatment of methods that are useful in the study of such problems. This book is intended for use as a text for upper division and gradu­ ate courses. Courses based on parts of the material have been given by me at the Indian Statistical Institute and at the University of Toronto (in collaboratio

Overview: Don Patinkin‘s pioneering work, integrating monetary and value theory in a Walrasian general equilibrium context anticipated by almost two decades the line of research which attempts to recast macroeconomics by reference to its microeconomic foundations. The notion of an integrated set of markets offered intuitive perception of intermarket linkages. At the same time it highlighted some of the pitfalls of traditional neoclassical monetary analysis, such as the erroneous imputation of unitary elasticity to the demand curve for money. Patinkin‘s presentation of general equilibrium illum

Overview: Mathematical elegance is a constant theme in this treatment of linear programming and matrix games. Condensed tableau, minimal in size and notation, are employed for the simplex algorithm. In the context of these tableau the beautiful termination theorem of R.G. Bland is proven more simply than heretofore, and the important duality theorem becomes almost obvious. Examples and extensive discussions throughout the book provide insight into definitions, theorems, and applications. There is considerable informal discussion on how best to play matrix games. The book is designed for a one-

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Jungen mit Migrationshintergrund tauchen vor allem als Problemfälle in medialen und populärwissenschaftlichen Diskursen auf. Ihre Männlichkeit wird als durch ihre zugeschriebene ethnisch-kulturelle Zugehörigkeit determiniert vorgestellt und ihr Verhalten kulturalisiert. Katrin Huxel untersucht die Präsentationen von Zugehörigkeit männlicher Hauptschüler mit Migrationshintergrund anhand von teilnehmenden Beobachtungen in der Schule und biographischen Interviews mit den Jungen. Sie arbeitet die Logiken und die Illusio des

Overview: Frames the overall “crisis” narrative of contemporary illegalized migrations in Europe within a human rights debate.Critiques European legislation on migrants and refugees which often results in tempoThis book is an interdisciplinary study aimed at re-imagining and re-routing contemporary migrations in the Mediterranean. Drawing from visual arts, citizenship studies, film, media and cultural studies, along with postcolonial, border, and decolonial discourses, and examining the issues from within a human rights framework, the book investigates how works of cultural production can offe

Overview: A scientific foundation for paleopathology.Holistic analysis of the gamut of pathology and diseases with a validated paleontological record.Assurance that speculation- and evidence-based information/pThe study of paleopathology has two very different constituencies, the medical scientist and the zoologist/paleontologist/anthropologist. Their investigative procedures and professional jargon are different, sometimes to the point of mutual incomprehensibility. Paleontologists/anthropologists/zoologists have a limited data base for the characterization and interpretation of pathology. Th

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Multi-parameter processes extend the existing one-parameter theory in an elegant way and have many applications to other fields in mathematics such as real analysis, functional analysis, group theory, and analytic number theory, to name a few. This book on the vast and rapidly developing subject of random fields is designed for a second graduate course in probability. Recent work on random fields has made it possible to make it an expository subject which interacts with several other areas in mathematics and has enough mathematical depth to be of use

Overview: Provides the analysis of respiratory flow curve using pressure therapy for sleep apnea treatment.Offers a practical, comprehensive and didactic approach.Features multiples figures, graphics and case e.Providing good quality sleep to people with sleep-related breathing disorders is a major challenge for respiratory physiotherapists and other professionals working in the field. These patients chronically suffer from the negative effects of interrupted sleep, a consequence of increased respiratory effort, disturbing arousals and constant hypoxias. Using positive pressure equipment every

Overview: Plant secondary metabolism is an economically important sourceof fine chemicals, such as drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavours, andfragrances. Moreover, important traits of plants such as taste,flavour, smell, colour, or resistance against pests and diseases arealso related to secondary metabolites. .The genetic modification of plants is feasible nowadays. What does thepossibility of engineering plant secondary metabolite pathways mean?In this book, firstly a general introduction is given on plantsecondary metabolism, followed by an overview of the possibleapproaches that could be used

Overview: The structural complexity of lignin has continually challenged the in­ genuity of researchers to develop suitable methods for its charac­ terization prior to and following a wide variety of chemical, biologi­ cal, and physical treatments. Initially, activity along these lines was fueled by a desire to interpret technical delignification (Le. , pulping) processes in terms of accompanying structural changes in the lignin. Subsequently, increasingly wide ranging, in-depth investigations on the structure and reactivity of lignin exposed the inadequacy of many of the methods currently in

Overview: Managed Care ist das dominante Schlagwort in der internationalen Diskussion über Reformen im Gesundheitswesen. Ziel ist nicht nur der effiziente Einsatz der Ressourcen, sondern gleichermaßen die Verbesserung der Versorgungsqualität. Durch den Einsatz von Management-prinzipien, die Integration von Leistungsfinanzierung und -erstellung und das selektive Kontrahieren mit ausgewählten Leistunganbietern sollen beide Ziele gleichzeitig erreicht werden. Schätzungen aus den USA gehen davon aus, daß bis zu 20% der Gesundheitsausgaben durch Managed Care eingespart werden können. Folgende Frage

Overview: Das vorliegende Buch über Mathematik für Wirtschaftswissenschaftler basiert auf langjährigen Erfahrungen mit einem gleichnamigen Kurs der Fernuniversität Hagen, der seit dem WS 1975 am Fachbereich Wirt­ schaftswissenschaft eingesetzt worden ist. Eine erste Kurs-Version (1975 -1980) wurde aufgrund von Diskussionen mit Studenten der Wirt­ schaftswissenschaften und den Mentoren an den Studienzentren überar­ beitet und didaktisch neu gestaltet. Sie wurde hinsichtlich ihres Inhaltes - gestützt auf Gespräche mit den Professoren des Fachbereiches Wirt­ schaftswissenschaft - den Anforderunge

Overview: A Pick function is a function that is analytic in the upper half-plane with positive imaginary part. In the first part of this book we try to give a readable account of this class of functions as well as one of the standard proofs of the spectral theorem based on properties of this class. In the remainder of the book we treat a closely related topic: Loewner‘s theory of monotone matrix functions and his analytic continuation theorem which guarantees that a real function on an interval of the real axis which is a monotone matrix function of arbitrarily high order is the restriction to

Overview: MacMath is a scientific toolkit for the Macintosh ™ computer developed by John H. Hubbard and Beverly H. West, consisting of twelve graphics programs. It supports mathematical computation and experimentation in dynamical systems, both for differential equations and for iteration. The MacMath package was designed to accompany the textbook Differential Equations: A Dynamical Sys­ tems Approach, also by J. H. Hubbard and B. H. West (Part I, One Dimensional Equations, 1990; Part II, Higher Dimensional Systems, 1991; Springer-Verlag). We have developed this text and software for a junior-

Overview: Discusses global mental health policy against context of Pacific Island Countries.Explores the historical development of mental health systems.Identifies and examines how colonialisation has institutiThis book explores the development of mental health systems in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) of Samoa and Tonga through an examination of several policy transfer events from the colonial to the contemporary. Beginning in the 1990s, mental health became an area of global policy concern as reflected in concerted international organisation and bilateral aid and development agendas, mo

Overview: A satellite symposium entitled "Myelination and Demyelination: Recent Chemical Advances" was held in Helsinki from August 29 to 31, 1977, after the Sixth International Meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) in Copenhagen. Myelin is a nervous tissue structure that is most suitable as a subject of biochemical investigation. It is easy to isolate in a highly purified form, is rather stable even after death, and is af­ fected by a variety of neurological and other diseases. Its lesions are particularly important in the study of multiple sclerosis, a disease which i
