Overview: This volume presents the proceedings of a series of lectures hosted by the Math­ ematics Department of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, March 22-24, 1995, under the title "Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations in Geometry and Physics" . While the relevance of partial differential equations to problems in differen­ tial geometry has been recognized since the early days of the latter subject, the idea that differential equations of differential-geometric origin can be useful in the formulation of physical theories is a much more recent one. Perhaps the earliest emergence of s

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Joint ERCIM/Compulog-Net Workshop on New Trends in Constraints held in Paphos, Cyprus, Greece in October 1999. The 12 revised full research papers presented together with four surveys by leading researchers were carefully reviewed. The book is divided in topical sections on constraint propagation and manipulation, constraint programming, and rule-based constraint programming.978-3-540-67885-4978-3-540-44654-5Series ISSN 0302-9743 Series E-ISSN 1611-3349

Overview: .Sensitivity analysis and optimal shape design are key issues in engineering that have been affected by advances in numerical tools currently available. This book, and its supplementary online files, presents basic optimization techniques that can be used to compute the sensitivity of a given design to local change, or to improve its performance by local optimization of these data. The relevance and scope of these techniques have improved dramatically in recent years because of progress in discretization strategies, optimization algorithms, automatic differentiation, software availab

Overview: The on-going developments, and the recent achievements of the superconducting electronics (especially in the field of Josephson junctions and the inherent nonlinear dynamics) inspired us to organize a conference where different groups working on the subject could meet and discuss the latest results of their investigations. This idea was realized as two joint workshops, the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Superconducting Electronics with Prof. N.F. Pedersen as chairman, and the 2nd Workshop on Josephson Devices, with Profs. G. Costabile and M. Russo as chairmen, held in Capri, Ital

Overview: First comprehensive research monograph dedicated to nearest neighbor query processing.The nearest neighbor search problem is studied in detail from the spatial database perspective; algorithms, analys.Modern applications are both data and computationally intensive and require the storage and manipulation of voluminous traditional (alphanumeric) and nontraditional data sets (images, text, geometric objects, time-series). Examples of such emerging application domains are: Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Multimedia Information Systems, CAD/CAM, Time-Series Analysis, Medical Info

Overview: The post World War II era witnessed a tremendous growth in the research carried out in neutron-induced reactions and especially in neutron capture y-ray studies. This growth was stimulated by the availability of neutron sources, such as reactors and accelerators, and by the development of high resolution y-ray and conversion electron detectors. Today the combination of high flux reactors and precise instrumentation has produced spectral data of exceptional quality, as the pages of these proceedings illustrate. The world-wide community of the practioners of the art of cap­ ture y-ray

Overview: Provides complete overview on the New Zealand lizard fauna.Brings together the world’s leading experts to produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, life-historThis edited volume is a timely and comprehensive summary of the New Zealand lizard fauna. Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal diversi

Overview: .The concept of nonparametric smoothing is a central idea in statistics that aims to simultaneously estimate and modes the underlying structure. The book considers high dimensional objects, as density functions and regression. The semiparametric modeling technique compromises the two aims, flexibility and simplicity of statistical procedures, by introducing partial parametric components. These components allow to match structural conditions like e.g. linearity in some variables and may be used to model the influence of discrete variables..The aim of this monograph is to present the s

Overview: Naturwissenschaftliche​Selbstdifferenzierende Lernumgebungen versprechen ein umfassendes Differenzierungspotenzial. Christine Scherres erfasst dieses Potenzial nicht wie üblich durch Niveaustreuung, sondern auch durch Niveauangemessenheit. Denn für die Wirksamkeit von Lernen ist niveauangemessenes Arbeiten wichtig. Für ihre Fallstudie konstruiert sie ein analytisches Instrumentarium zur Untersuchung der Niveauangemessenheit aus prozessorientierter Perspektive. Sie zeigt, dass sich Niveauangemessenheit einer selbstdifferenzierenden Würfelnetz-Lernumgebung keineswegs automatisch einste
