Overview: This book is an account of the manner in which the optical phenomena observed from solids relate to their fundamental properties. Written at the graduate level, it attempts a threefold purpose: an indication of the breadth of the subject, an in-depth examination of important areas, and a text for a two-semester course. The first two chapters present introductory theory as a foundation for subsequent reading. The following ten chapters broadly concern electronic properties associated with semiconductors ranging from narrow to wide energy gap materials. Lattice properties are examined

Overview: A new framework towards understanding knowledge in organizations.First interdisciplinary attempt to connect philosophy of science and epistemology with knowledge management.A normative view on knowledThis book presents an in-depth perspective of knowledge as a fundamental process of any organization rather than just another resource to be managed. The author presents a process-oriented theory of creating and applying knowledge directed towards both researchers and practitioners. In this book the author develops normative knowledge management guidelines which draw from a unique view o

Overview: The problem of controlling the output of a system so as to achieve asymptotic tracking of prescribed trajectories and/or asymptotic re­ jection of undesired disturbances is a central problem in control the­ ory. A classical setup in which the problem was posed and success­ fully addressed - in the context of linear, time-invariant and finite dimensional systems - is the one in which the exogenous inputs, namely commands and disturbances, may range over the set of all possible trajectories ofa given autonomous linear system, commonly known as the exogeneous system or, more the exosyst

Overview: Onderbeenpijn is vaak moeilijk te diagnosticeren. Er kan sprake zijn van een orthopedische aandoening bijvoorbeeld door overbelasting. Er zijn echter veel andere oorzaken bekend van onderbeenpijn zoals vasculaire of reumatische afwijkingen. Daar komt nog bij dat de achterliggende pathologie zich niet altijd in het onderbeen bevindt maar meer naar proximaal. Dit alles kan voor de orthopedisch georiënteerde (para)medicus verraderlijke valkuilen opleveren. Daarom worden er in deze uitgave van ‘Orthopedische Casuïstiek’ naast orthopedische letsels/blessures ook enkele andere vormen van p

Overview: Presents a unique way of studying conflicts, examining the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a way to resolve conflicts.Incorporates intangibles that play aThis book presents an interdisciplinary approach to conflict solution focusing on a very specific type of conflict, retributive conflicts . It is unique in the treatment of these and how relative measurement is used to find equilibrium solutions. The authors present an alternative process to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They do so in two ways that are different from past eff

Overview: erste umfassende Dokumentation der Fotocollagen Oswald Oberhuber‘sDass das Erscheinen dieser Publikation auf den 75. Geburtstag Oswald Oberhubers fällt, ist nicht rein zufällig, aber nicht der Anlass. Ebenso gut könnte man den 60. künstlerischen Geburtstag des Künstlers feiern. Denn die ersten von ihm als eigene Werke anerkannten künstlerischen Arbeiten datieren auf sein 15. Lebensjahr. So gesehen könnte man auch den 60. künstlerischen Geburtstag oder aber – besser noch – gar keinen Geburtstag als Begr- dung nennen, sondern einfach die Tatsache, dass Oswald Oberhubers Foto-Collagen b

Overview: Gives an introduction to new methods for open quantum dynamics and quantum feedback control.Presents special quantum physics systems.Displays a roadmap for graduate students to the dynamics of open quThis monograph provides graduate students and also professional researchers aiming to understand the dynamics of open quantum systems with a valuable and self-contained toolbox. Special focus is laid on the link between microscopic models and the resulting open-system dynamics. This includes how to derive the celebrated Lindblad master equation without applying the rotating wave approxim

Overview: 0.1 Gaps in Optimizing A comparison of the levels of development of Operations Research, Simulation Technique and Optimal Control Theory appears to gain increasing interest. Operations Research Sciences achieved very high mathematical standards and solved a great amount of important optimization problems, mainly at the level of management of private corporation and civil or military government tasks, however, these achievements are seldom incorporated in the mathematical curriculum of modern universities. Nevertheless, Operations Research seems to have failed in solving long range or

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The 9th Belgian-French-German Conference on Optimization has been held in Namur (Belgium) on September 7-11, 1998. This volume is a collection of papers presented at this Conference. Originally, this Conference was a French-German Conference but this year, in accordance with the organizers‘ wishes, a third country, Belgium, has joined the founding members of the Conference. Hence the name: Belgian­ French-German Conference on Optimization. Since the very beginning, the purpose of these Conferences has been to bring together researchers working in the
