Overview: Degradation, the chemical/physical response of building and con­ struction materials exposed to in-service environments, must be predicted prior to their installation in structures if materials are to be effectively selected, used and maintained. These assessments of materials degradation require that methods be available to aid prediction of service life. The objectives of building materials science are a) to charac­ terize and categorize materials, b) to predict, preferably in a mathematical sense, material or component response including expected service life, and c) to make impro

Overview: For many, the terms aging, maturation and senescence are synonymous and used interchangeably, but they should not be. Whereas senescence represents an endogenously controlled degenerative programme leading to plant or organ death, genetiC aging encompasses a wide array of passive degenerative genetiC processes driven primarily by exogenous factors (Leopold, 1975). Aging is therefore considered a consequence of genetiC lesions that accumulate over time, but by themselves do not necessarily cause death. These lesions are probably made more severe by the increase in size and complexity

Overview: Eine wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Markus Bramberger untersucht die europaweite Umsetzung der Payment Services Directive II (PSD II) im Bankensektor, die sich in allen EU-Ländern durch eine regional divergierende Auslegung der Gesetzestexte unterscheidet. Der Autor gibt Antworten auf die Frage, ob Banken – wie wir sie noch heute kennen – pauschal durch innovative und digital exzellent positionierte Dienstleister, wie z. B. durch FinTech-Unternehmen, im Zuge von Open Banking substituiert werden können. Es ist offensichtlich, dass nur operativ klar ausgerichtete Unternehmensleitb

Overview: Most of the world‘s experts on prions met for a workshop in Erice in August 1996. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the fundamentals of the science ofprions. It was for­ tunate that so many could be present given the pressure that they were under because of the data presented in March 1996, indicating that Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, BSE or Mad Cow Disease, had penetrated the species barrier and was beginning to cause a new dis­ ease in humans--the new variant ofCreutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, nvCJD. This important and urgent subject became an additional major topic at the work

Overview: This monograph concentrates on the implementation of concurrent logic programming languages on loosely-coupled parallel computer architectures. Two different abstract models are also considered: a graph reduction basedmodel and a more imperative approach. The design of a specialized instruction set is presented that is general enough tobe used for the whole family of concurrent logic programming languages. In particular the language Parlog is concentrated upon because it is themost efficiently implementable of all the non-flat logic programminglanguages. Other issues arising from the
