Overview: Kolbenstillstand bei konstant drehendem AbtriebBenjamin Burger beschreibt die Entwicklung, Fertigung und Inbetriebnahme eines Einzylinder-Otto-Gleichraumverbrennungsmotors. Durch einen alternativen Kurbeltrieb hat der Autor trotz konstant drehenden Abtriebes einen Kolbenstillstand symmetrisch zum Oberen Totpunkt erreicht. Die Konstruktion des gesamten Motors orientiert sich stark an einem konventionellen Aufbau, mit dem Unterschied, dass im Kurbeltrieb eine zweite Kurbelwelle zum Einsatz kommt. Durch die Überlagerung der Drehbewegungen beider Kurbelwellen ergibt sich ein resultierend

Overview: The most immediate one-dimensional variation problem is certainly the problem of determining an arc of curve, bounded by two given and having a smallest possible length. The problem of deter­ points mining and investigating a surface with given boundary and with a smallest possible area might then be considered as the most immediate two-dimensional variation problem. The classical work, concerned with the latter problem, is summed up in a beautiful and enthusiastic manner in DARBOUX‘S Theorie generale des surfaces, vol. I, and in the first volume of the collected papers of H. A. SCHW

Overview: This book is an introduction to the mathematical theory of optimal control of processes governed by ordinary differential eq- tions. It is intended for students and professionals in mathematics and in areas of application who want a broad, yet relatively deep, concise and coherent introduction to the subject and to its relati- ship with applications. In order to accommodate a range of mathema- cal interests and backgrounds among readers, the material is arranged so that the more advanced mathematical sections can be omitted wi- out loss of continuity. For readers primarily interested

Overview: It is our conviction - based on many years of teaching and practical experience - that professional skill in forestry will develop more rea­ dily and more efficiently if forestry students are presented with a clear understanding, at an early stage, of the impact of the physical factors that both enhance and inhibit forestry activities. Tnis know­ ledge is best aquired by adressing the physical world of forestry with a set of analytical tools through which an almost infinite number of variables can be listed in order, be measured and their interaction be explored and resolved. This is

Overview: Aufgrund der zahlreichen farbigen Bildtafeln könnte man dieses Werk auch als "Kochbuch" für den operierenden Dermatologen und plastischen Chirurgen bezeichnen. Zahlreiche Operationsverläufe sind anhand des ausgezeichneten Bildmaterials (Fotographien und anatomische Zeichnungen) vom ersten Schritt bis zum abschließenden Wundverschluß praxisgerecht dokumentiert. Für die tägliche Arbeit im OP.978-3-662-09085-5

Overview: Wissenschaftsorganisationen erfahren spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren einen Wandel, dem in diesem Buch entlang der beiden Diskurse um Exzellenz und Geschlechtergleichstellung nachgegangen wird. In diesem Zusammenhang setzt sich die Analyse theoretisch, methodologisch und empirisch mit den diskursiven Sicht- und Sprechbarkeiten zum ‚wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs‘auseinander, die am Kreuzungspunkt von Exzellenz und Geschlechtergleichstellung innerhalb verschiedener Wissenschaftsorganisationen entstehen. Im Zentrum der Analyse stehen Websites, Interviews mit Gleichstellungsbeauftragten

Overview: Das vorliegende Werk befaßt sich mit dem gegenwärtigen Stand der therapeutischen Möglichkeiten bei der Onychomykose. Zunächst werden sehr eingehend die Problematik der Onychomykose an sich sowie die bisherigen Therapieverfahren und ihre Alternativen dargestellt und kritisch gewürdigt. Die topische Therapie findet dabei ebenso Berücksichtigung wie die systemische Therapie. Angesichts der Begrenztheit der bisherigen Möglichkeiten wird dann sehr eingehend auf einen neuen therapeutischen Ansatz abgehoben, der darin besteht, daß mittels einer harnstoff- und bifonazolhaltigen Präparation d

Overview: The 17th Symposium on Operations Research was held at Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, August 25-28, 1992, as the annual meeting of the Gesellschaft für Mathematik, Ökonomie und Operations Research (GMÖOR). The aim of this book is to provide a timely and comprehensive documentation of the symposium‘s scientific activities. It contains extended abstracts of most of the papers presented there. The symposium fell into twelve sections and an overlapping cross-section workshop. The sections covered established fields of theory and application such as (1) Mathematical Modelling in OR, (

Overview: The evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human development and most helpful to achieve good health throughout life is clearly documented by Dr. Joyce Nettleton in her new book Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Health. Omega­ 3 fatty acids are produced by the plants of the land and sea. The tissues of the body require the omega-3 fatty acids for their proper functioning just as they also need the omega-6 essential fatty acids. It is probable in man‘s evolutionary development that there has always been the proper balance between these two groups of essential fatty acids, but in th

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This work starts with the study of those limit theorems in probability theory for which classical methods do not work. In many cases some form of linearization can help to solve the problem, because the linearized version is simpler. But in order to apply such a method we have to show that the linearization causes a negligible error. The estimation of this error leads to some important large deviation type problems, and the main subject of this work is their investigation. We provide sharp estimates of the tail distribution of multiple integrals with

Overview: Reviews optical absorption of impurities and defects in semiconductors.Establishes a correlation between electronic, vibrational spectroscopy and electron spin resonance.Displays numerous spectroscopi.This book outlines, with the help of several specific examples, the important role played by absorption spectroscopy in the investigation of deep-level centers introduced in semiconductors and insulators like diamond, silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide by high-energy irradiation, residual impurities, and defects produced during crystal growth. It also describes the crucial role pla

Overview: Das Lehrbuch zur Organisationssoziologie - ausgezeichnet mit dem René-König-LehrbuchpreisDie Organisationssoziologie ist eine aufstrebende, interdisziplinär ausgerichtete und international vernetzte Teildisziplin der Soziologie. Ihr Anliegen und ihre Aufgabe ist, organisationale Strukturen und Prozesse zu beschreiben, zu erklären und zu gestalten. Wie und in welcher Form sie dies tut, wird in dem Buch in einer Abfolge von vier Leitfragen behandelt: (1) Warum gibt es überhaupt Organisationen? (2) Wie lassen sich Organisationen angemessen beschreiben? (3) Wie kann man interne Strukture
