Overview: A conference on `Observational Evidence for Black Holes in theUniverse‘ was held in Calcutta during January 10-17, 1998. Thiswas the first time that experts had gathered to debate and discusstopics such as: Should black holes exist? If so, how to detect them?Have we found them? This book is the essence of this gathering. .Black holes are enigmatic objects since it is impossible to locatethem through direct observations. State-of-the-art theoretical worksand numerical simulations have given us enough clues of what to lookfor. Observations, from both ground and space-based missions, ha

Overview: The investigation ofmost problems of quantum physics leads to the solution of the Schrodinger equation with an appropriate interaction Hamiltonian or potential. However, the exact solutions are known for rather a restricted set of potentials, so that the standard eternal problem that faces us is to find the best effective approximation to the exact solution of the Schrodinger equation under consideration. In the most general form, this problem can be formulated as follows. Let a total Hamiltonian H describing a relativistic (quantum field theory) or a nonrelativistic (quantum mechani

Overview: .Ovulation Induction. gives an integrated view of basic ovarian physiology, pathophysiology, and the clinical management of ovulatory disorders. It provides core information upon which specialists can base clinical decisions. The most important feature is the inclusion of newer agents now available for ovulation induction. Newer clinical applications for older medications as well as various treatment combinations (including GnRH analogs) are thoroughly discussed. There is a frank discussion of risks, side effects, and the expense related to ovulation inducing agents. Many of the resu

As the second part of the two-volume updated and expanded fourth edition, it adds a new focus on the recent development of Normally Unattended Installations (NUIs), which are essentially autonomous installations that combine digitalization, big data, d

Overview: The articles included in the volume cover a range of diverse topics linked by a common theme: the use of formal modelling techniques to promote better understanding of financial markets and improve management of financial operations..Apart from a theoretical discussion, most of the papers model validation or verification using market data. This collection of articles sets the framework for other studies that could link theory and practice.978-3-7908-0803-2978-3-642-46957-2Series ISSN 1431-1941 Series E-ISSN 2197-716X

Overview: Um das gesamte Potential bei der Reduzierung der CO2-Emission in Kraftfahrzeugen ausschöpfen zu können, muss neben der Optimierung des Basismotors auch der Einfluss der Nebenaggregate auf den Kraftstoffverbrauch berücksichtigt werden. ..Marco Lunanova beschreibt in seinem Buch den aktuellen technischen Stand der gängigsten Nebenaggregate und charakterisiert diese hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf den Kraftstoffverbrauch. Das Optimierungspotential der einzelnen Nebenaggregate und deren Verbund wird dargestellt. Verschiedene Kombinationen von Maßnahmen unter Berücksichtigung der entste

Overview: The Workshop "Optical Detectors for Astronomy" was held during October 8-10, 1996 at the headquarters of the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany. This was the third meeting of its kind, previous meetings being held in 1991 and 1993, but this is the first ESO "CCD Workshop" that has published proceedings. Most of the leading manufacturers and major astronomical observatories were represented, with the 117 attendees coming together from 14 different countries that spanned every continent on Earth. The motivation for the ESO CCD Workshop series is the creation of informal

Overview: .OmeGA: A Competent Genetic Algorithm for Solving Permutation and Scheduling Problems. addresses two increasingly important areas in GA implementation and practice. OmeGA, or the ordering messy genetic algorithm, combines some of the latest in competent GA technology to solve scheduling and other permutation problems. Competent GAs are those designed for principled solutions of hard problems, quickly, reliably, and accurately. Permutation and scheduling problems are difficult combinatorial optimization problems with commercial import across a variety of industries. ..This book approa

Overview: The research of unitary concepts in solid state and molecular chemistry is of current interest for both chemist and physicist communities. It is clear that due to their relative simplicity, low­ dimensional materials have attracted most of the attention. Thus, many non-trivial problems were solved in chain systems, giving some insight into the behavior of real systems which would otherwise be untractable. The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Organic and Inorganic Low-Dimensional Crystalline Materials" was organized to review the most striking electronic properties exhibited by org

Overview: Closes the gap between the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of organelles and their incorporation into evolutionary theory.Includes supplementary material: .The evolutionary origins of hydrogenosomes have been the subject of considerable debate. From early days it was apparent that hydrogenosomes had evolved on multiple occasions in different eukaryotes, but from which progenitor organelle or endosymbiont was unresolved. Work from many different laboratories has contributed towards formulating the current hypothesis that hydrogenosomes and mitosomes, their even more reduced cousin

Overview: Many and varied examples to supplement the theory.Interdisciplinary character.Most material appears in print for the first time.Extensive bibliography.Includes supplementary material: Operator theory and functional analysis have a long tradition, initially being guided by problems from mathematical physics and applied mathematics. Much of the work in Banach spaces from the 1930s onwards resulted from investigating how much real (and complex) variable function theory might be extended to fu- tions taking values in (function) spaces or operators acting in them. Many of the ?rst ideas i

Overview: This book is a thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Utrecht. It was prepared under the supervision of Prof. Dr. H. Schultink. I would like to express my gratitude to him for his criticisms of earlier versions which led to many improvements, in particular with respect to the exposition of the argument. To my co-referent Dirk van Dalen, reader in the Department of Philo­ sophy (,Centrale Interfaculteit‘) of the University of Utrecht, I am greatly indebted for his valuable and fruitful suggestions about problems relevant to both linguistics and logic.
