Overview: Presents two new optimization algorithms inspired by plant roots and the Mycorrhiza Network (MN).Enables you to develop innovative solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve performa.This book provides two new optimization algorithms to address real optimization problems. Optimization is a fundamental concept in engineering and science, and its applications are needed in many fields. From designing products and systems to developing algorithms and models, optimization plays a critical role in achieving efficient and effective solutions to complex problems. Optimizat

Overview: Various types of composites are used in engineering practice. The most important are fibrous compositesy laminates and materials with a more complicated geometry of reinforcement in the form of short fibres and particles of various properties^ shapes and sizes. The aim of course was to understand the basic principles of damage growth and fracture processes in ceramic, polymer and metal matrix composites. Nowadays, it is widely recognized that important macroscopic properties like the macroscopic stiffness and strength, are governed by processes that occur at one to several scales bel

Overview: 1.1 Problemstellung Der Luftfrachtmarkt -aufgefaßt als das Zusammentreffen von Luftfrachtleistungsangebot und Luftfrachtleistungsnachfrage - stellt auf grund seiner Dynamik eines der interessantesten Logistikmärkte dar. Faktoren, die diese Dynamik wesentlich mitbestimmen, sind die konti­ nuierlich hohen Steigerungsraten des Luftfrachtleistungsabsatzes, die Veränderungen der Kundenanforderungen an die Luftfrachtleistungserstellung, der Wettbewerb zwischen den 2 Luftfrachtanbietern I, der sich vor allem seit dem Aufkommen der Integrator als Luftfrachtanbieter stark intensiviert hat, un

It also descr

Overview: Provides researchers in the biological and medical sciences with timely reviews of selected areas in molecular biology. Each volume is edited by an internationally recognised authority who selects authors and topics to provide a survey of current growth points in a specific field. Molecular Aspects of Anticancer Drug - DNA Interactions ; A definitive work in the cancer chemotherapy area, this second volume continues the work of the first in providing an up-to-date publication presenting the research of the most prominent workers in the field. Volume one was also published in 1993.

Overview: The third edition of this book aims to improve the quality of management by introducing the reader to those aspects of management which have come to be regarded as good ideas or good practical advice. To be a successful manager today requires a lot of effort - especially thinking! - but the world of the practical manager is in danger of becoming too far removed from the world of management theory. This book attempts to bridge the gap, showing how and where theory can help managerial effectiveness.

Overview: Evaluates the globalisation of the ‘music city’ as an urban cultural policy paradigm.Examines the advantages and challenges of adopting music city policies in a range of cities in different geographic.This book provides a critical academic evaluation of the ‘music city’ as a form of urban cultural policy that has been keenly adopted in policy circles across the globe, but which as yet has only been subject to limited empirical and conceptual interrogation. With a particular focus on heritage, planning, tourism and regulatory measures, this book explores how local geographical, social

Overview: During the last two decades, chemical and cellular studies havecontributed enormously to our understanding of metal-inducedcarcinogenesis, and many hypotheses on the role of metals inpathophysiological processes have been investigated. In addition, newtechniques are available to shed light on the mechanism ofcarcinogenesis in molecular terms. This conference on MolecularMechanisms of Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis in September 2000focused on the latest research in molecular mechanisms ofmetal-induced toxicity and carcinogenesis. The conference promoted amultidisciplinary investiga

Overview: Exploring such general issues as the differing roles of the Communist Party and the State in ruling the former Soviet Union and the exercise of political power in the Stalin regime, this first western study of the chief Soviet government body during the 1930s traces the history of the Council of People‘s Commissars (Sovnarkom) whilst Molotov was chairman. Sovnarkom co-ordinated the work of the commissariats (later to be called ministries) and supervised the implementation of the policies of collectivization and industrialization. It was intimately connected with the Great Purge as th

Especially in the last decade of the 20 century, environmental scientists, legislators, politicians, and the public have become more aware of mercury pollu­ tion in the global environment. It has often been suggested that anthropogenic emissions are leading to a general increase in mercury on local, regional, and glo­ bal scales. Numerous industrial activities, including the

Overview: Anläßlich eines Forschungsaufenthalts 1988/1989 von Bob Gilbert (University of De­ laware, USA) am Fachbereich Mathematik der Freien Universität Berlin wurde ich durch ihn auf die Verwendung symbolischer Mathematikprogramme, und zwar des Computeralgebrasystems MACSYMA, in der mathematischen Forschung aufmerk­ sam gemacht. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an kam ich von dem Gedanken der Benutzung solcher Programme in der mathematischen Lehre nicht mehr los. Die Miniaturisierung in der Computertechnologie hatte derartige Programme nun auf kleinsten Rechnern verfügbar gemacht, und ich war sicher, d
