Overview: Presents an evolving research area in which many different mathematical theories meet.Yields a pool of interesting examples for various abstract mathematical theories.Following D. Shechtman being awar.What is order that is not based on simple repetition, that is, periodicity? How must atoms be arranged in a material so that it diffracts like a quasicrystal? How can we describe aperiodically ordered systems mathematically? .Originally triggered by the – later Nobel prize-winning – discovery of quasicrystals, the investigation of aperiodic order has since become a well-established and

Overview: This review series covers trends in modern biotechnology.All aspects of this interdisciplinary technology, where knowledge, methods and expertise are required from chemistry, biochemistry, microbiologChromatography is the separation method for biological molecules from the analytical to the preparative scale. Few of the recent advances in life science, whether in "proteomics" or in the industrial production of recombinant therapeutics, would have been possible without the help of chromatographic separations. Concomitantly, chromatography nowadays stands for much more than a batch col

Overview: It is often said that everyone understands precisely what is meant by the notion of probability-except those who have spent their lives studying the matter. Upon close scrutiny, the intuitively obvious idea of probability becomes quite elusive. Is it a subjective or objective concept? Are random variables simply improperly measured deterministic variables, or inherently random? What is meant by the phrase "other things held constant" that often appears in descriptions of probability? These questions involve fundamental philosophical and scientific issues, and promise to elude definit

Overview: Mahlzeiten im Wandel.Includes supplementary material: Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts glaubte man, die Mahlzeiten der Zukunft würden nur noch aus einigen Pillen bestehen – Essen ohne Bindung an Ort und Zeit! Ganz so extrem ist es heute zwar nicht, doch ein schleichender Wandel im Umgang mit Mahlzeiten ist durchaus zu beobachten: Klassische Mahlzeiten werden immer öfters durch Snacks ersetzt. Ist die Mahlzeit eine alte Last, die heute so nicht mehr umsetzbar ist? Oder kann sie auch (wieder) zu einer neuen Lust werden?.Der Band greift die Fachdiskussionen rund um das soziale Phänomen de

Overview: Mediation is one of the most important management strategies in international relations, yet it has been the focus of relatively little scholarship. International mediation may involve private individuals, academic scholars, official government representatives, regional organisations, small or large states, transnational and international organisations, and yet the nature and consequences of such variation have yet to be examined systematically. The purpose of this book is to analyse the mediating efforts of these, and to consider their contributions to international peace and securi

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Mining Complex Data, MCD 2007, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2007, co-located with ECML and PKDD 2007. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected; they present original results on knowledge discovery from complex data. In contrast to the typical tabular data, complex data can consist of heterogenous data types, can come from different sources, or live in high dimensional spaces. All these specificities call for new data mining strategies. 978-3-540-68415-2978-3-
