Overview: .Quantum Structures and the Nature of Reality. is acollection of papers written for an interdisciplinary audience aboutthe quantum structure research within the International QuantumStructures Association. The advent of quantum mechanics has changedour scientific worldview in a fundamental way. Many popular andsemi-popular books have been published about the paradoxical aspectsof quantum mechanics. Usually, however, these reflections find theirorigin in the standard views on quantum mechanics, most of all thewave-particle duality picture. Contrary to relativity theory,where the meani

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The articles in this book are written versions of talks presented at a conference organized by the TMR network in Corfu. The main theme of the conference was the interconnection between string theory and gauge theory. These very recent developments draw from many aspects of string theory, supergravity and supersymmetric gauge field theory. For students starting their research there is a great deal of background material that they have to absorb in order to be able to follow current developments. With this in mind the editors have included pedagogical

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.Introduction covers a wide range of mathematical topics, e.g. convex geometry and entropy, in a language a.The correlations between physical systems provide significant information about their collective behaviour – information that is used as a resource in many applications, e.g. communication protocols. However, when it comes to the exploitation of such correlations in the quantum world, identification of the associated ‘resource’ is extremely challenging and a matter of debate in the quan

Overview: The format of this book is unusual, especially for a book about linguistics. The book is meant primarily as a research monograph aimed at linguists who have some background in formal semantics, e. g. Montague Grammar. However, I have two other audiences in mind. Linguists who have little or no experience of formal semantics, but who have worked through a basic mathematics for linguists course (e. g. using Wall, 1972, or Partee, 1978), should, perhaps with the help of a sympathetic Montague gramma­ rian, be able to discover enough of how I have adapted some of the basic ideas in forma

Overview: Das Buch beschreibt eine Methodik zur Modellierung von Qualitätsinformationssystemen (QIS) sowie Aspekte ihrer technischen Implementierung. Von besonderem Interesse ist ein objektorientiertes Referenzmodell, das als Ausgangspunkt zur Abbildung aller betrieblichen QIS genutzt werden kann. Schwerpunkte des Buches bilden die Handhabung und die Möglichkeiten des Modells sowie die Anforderungen an technische Systeme zur Realisierung von Informationssystemen. Neben dem Informationstransport werden die Informationsspeicherung und die Schnittstelle zum Menschen diskutiert. Die einzelnen Teil
