Overview: The accumulation of organic matter allows inferences about a wide selection of processes in the geological past. The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (Yorkshire, U.K.) can be regarded as a model of the formation of hydrocarbon source rocks. The driving force of organic matter accumulation is the organic phytoplankton productivity, whereas oxygenation conditions seem to have played a secondary role. In Lake Bouchet (French Massif Central) organic matter appears to be a good indicator of paleoenvironmental changes occurring for over 350000 years. The book is of special interest to geologists

Overview: Contributing authors are unquestioned leaders of their respective fields.Represents a unique compilation of valuable and novel scientific work that is scarcely to be found elsewhere.Draws together theIt has been four years since the publication of the ?rst edition of this book. During these four years optical imaging has advanced considerably. Nevertheless, when we were asked to compile a second edition of this book the ?rst question we asked was: are there any topics that were missed out from the ?rst edition? Even though there are a fairly large number of subjects that we could pot

Overview: The German edition of this book, first published in 1966, has been quite popular; we did not, however, consider publishing an English edition because a number of excellent textbooks in this field already exist. In recent years, how­ ever, the wish was frequently expressed that, especially, the description of the relationships between optimization and other subfields of mathematics, which is not to be found in this form in other texts, might be made available to a wider readership; so it was with this in mind that, be­ latedly, a translation was undertaken after all. Since the appeara

Overview: First book of its kind to be the go-to resource for those attempting the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training.Edited and authored by top physicians in the field.Concise and eas.The oral board exam for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) can be intimidating to many surgeons due to the broad range of information one must know for the exam. However, while the examination guidelines provide a general outline of topics that may be covered, there is no true direction on how to prepare for it. Traditionally, candidates do so by using what are

Overview: Die folgenden Ausführungen betreffen optimale! Flugwege sowie insbesondere Flugwege geringsten Zeitbedarfs. Einleitend wird eine Übersicht über die seither auf diesem Gebiet geleisteten Arbeiten gegeben. Die in der Literatur vorliegenden Ergebnisse theoretischer Ar­ beiten sind für eine praktische tagtägliche Berechnung der Flugwege geringsten Zeitbedarfs wenig geeignet. Daher bestimmen gegenwärtig bis auf wenige Aus­ nahmen die Luftverkehrsgesellschaften die Flugwege geringsten Zeitbedarfs gra­ phisch-konstruktiv und nehmen die durch ein graphisches Verfahren bedingte Ungenauigkeit

Overview: Controlled stochastic processes with discrete time form a very interest­ ing and meaningful field of research which attracts widespread attention. At the same time these processes are used for solving of many applied problems in the queueing theory, in mathematical economics. in the theory of controlled technical systems, etc. . In this connection, methods of the theory of controlled processes constitute the every day instrument of many specialists working in the areas mentioned. The present book is devoted to the rather new area, that is, to the optimal control theory with functiona

Overview: Advances our understanding of quantum vacuum fluctuations.Brings us a step closer to realizing Casimir-based devices for quantum information science.Provides an introduction to the Casimir force and i.This thesis presents the first realization of non-reciprocal energy transfer between two cantilevers by quantum vacuum fluctuations. According to quantum mechanics, vacuum is not empty but full of fluctuations due to zero-point energy. Such quantum vacuum fluctuations can lead to an attractive force between two neutral plates in vacuum – the so-called Casimir effect – which has attracte
